Employee of the Month was horrible.

[Stabwound]

I think the main problem people have with him is that so many people think he's the funniest person in the world, and he definately isn't. I found a lot of his stuff to be funny, but he isn't even close to being as funny as everyone makes him out to be. I had the same problem with people playing his CD way too loud and laughing and spitting all over themselves at every joke. He isn't THAT funny. Especially after you've heard the same shit 10 times. :fear:

Also, a comedian isn't just someone who tells jokes with punchlines. Hardly any comedians just sit there and say actual jokes. A lot of people think Mitch Hedberg is hilarious (and he is) and he doesn't really tell jokes at all.

Mitch Hedburg is just the druggie equivalent of Dane Cook. If I want to listen to a whole lot of nonsensical babbling, I'll listen to my roommates after we smoke.

I just saw a trailer of this movie

The guy with the bleached hair is awesome in scrubs tho (don't know if that was the one you were talking about, andy dick.)

Dax Sheppard is not in Scrubs nor EVER was. If you are referring to Zach Braff, I should slap you for two reasons. Those two should not be mistook for eachother because Braff is that much better. Also, Zach Braff would not be in that piece of shit flick, if he was it wouldn't be as shitty.

[Galleleo]

I only saw him briefly, 2 flashes I think.. but you're right thats the guy from punked not scrubs.. mb.

Besides, how did you understand what I said jeen?

[Liquid Blue]

That's just the thing, even his stories are lame. If the guy was going around saying he's a story-teller, I might like him. But he goes around saying he's a comedian. Which implies he tells jokes, which have punchlines, which he doesn't. Therefore, he isnt' a comedian. He tells stories that barely make me crack a smile, yet he's the "most talented comedian" in the U.S.? Bullshit. My dog makes me laugh more than he does.

You said that you don't have HBO or access to a whole lot of comedy, but you really should find an outlet for it. There are so many better comedians out there right now who are geniunely funny and have a point of view.

Regardless of your opinion, I think he's funny. I don't blare his cd's nor have I heard his material 10 times over, I've heard enough to think he's funny.

Hedberg was the classic archetype of a comedian, like Dangerfield and Henny Youngman; Just a quick set up and a quick punchline. E.g. "I bought myself a parrot. The parrot talked, but it did not say, 'I'm hungry.' So it died."

However, that doesn't mean that all of the jokes have to be in that style, but turst me, most comedians do have punchlines. The only two I can think of that don't are Carlos Mencia and Dane Cook. That's because I don't go around looking for terrible comedians to listen to, but those two happen to be everywhere.

To be perfectly honest, the main problem (aside from not being funny) I have with Cook, and Mencia for that matter, is that they steal jokes. They both have stolen from much funnier comedians and somehow remain talentless and unfunny. I saw the "I saw a man get hit by a car" joke mentioned, which actually is a funny joke, when you hear the original version by Louis CK. I still think Andy Kindler put it best when he said, "Hitler was better than Dane Cook, because at least Hitler had a point of view."

Also, LB, I'm not trying to sway your opinion or attack it, just trying to better state my own. I realize that what one person finds entertaining is highly subjective, but when you dicuss these things, it can come off as confrontational. So, regardless of your opinion, I still think Dane Cook is an unfunny hack.

Oh I know. But Comedians, at least the ones I like, have one of two things. People like George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, and Jon Stewart (Yes, he still does Stand-up) have good meanings to their stories and punchlines. Then I like people like Rodney Dangerfield, Jerry Seinfeld, and Mitch Hedberg becuase they have those weird non-sequitur sayings that just make you laugh.

Then you have Dane Cook, who tells stories for the sake of laughs.

you must be using an online translator, that is probably why. also your vision is not english either, you mistook dax sheppard for zach braff.

That's cool, I just saw so much Cook hate I had to stick up for him, especially since I heard one of his cds for the first time a little under a week ago.

[Facetious]

I'd rather watch Meatballs 2 five times than a movie with both Dane Cook and Zach Braff in it once.

take it back

Im starting to realize how much dane cook sucks
facetious i think you are too , didn't you have a su-fi banner a while back?

good stuff here

[Facetious]

I had that banner but it had nothing to do with Dane Cook, as far as I knew. My friends and I would always make that sign to mean "struggle" so like if an ugly girl walked by we would make that sign and without anyone really knowing what was going on we were like "man that girl is ugly." Anything that struggled and we'd make that sign. There were also hand signals for "tight" and "truth." I thought it was funny that Dane Cook had that had signal as his logo and figured nobody else would recognize it as Dane Cook's logo so I made it my avatar. I suppose I was wrong, because you STILL remember that I used that.

bob saggot ftw

bob saggot ftw

I love this quote for many reasons, the first of which being he misspelled "saget" in the manner of "faggot" while the vast majority of people misspell "faggot" in the manner of "saget."

(I'm really not kidding)
