Louis CK was right...you get funnier when you hit 40. Maybe there's hope for Dane Cook yet!

^There will never be hope for Dane Cook.

Typical Dane Cook hatred for no reason. There are plenty of unfunny comedians and, yet, why pick on Dane Cook? Because it's the thing to do. It's "in," "hip," and "cool" to join in. I wish I could say that I'm just defending him unbiased, but the fact of the matter is I think he's pretty funny. I'm not a typical college girl that thinks he's so handsome and I want him to fuck my brains out so I go to his shows and scream at the top of my lungs. I'm actually a lover of stand-up comedy. Seen many live performances as well as ones on TV. Sure, maybe Dane's stardom seemed unequal to his talents, but I don't see somebody's popularity through hard work, networking, and charisma as a reason to chastise them.

PS: Bill Burr's Monday Morning podcast, will definitely be for you if you liked this

I don't hate on Dane Cook because it's hip or in. I simply think he's not funny that relies on physical over-emphasis of uncreative observations. Hyperbolic pronunciations of words and repetitive loudness does not translate to funny.
And I, too, am a lover and connoisseur of stand-up. Have been since I was a kid.
He simply rode a wave of over-rated popularity. And now the rational comedy-lovers have pulled him back down to where he belongs - in the group of comedians who don't belong at the top.

Who wants some champagne?

My god he's good, he's got it all content *and* delivery !

in b4 "this guy is a bitter misogynist"

his other piece on women vs men's problems was on point too.

While I agree that he is a physical comedian, I would argue that there's nothing wrong with that as a device to enhance his performance. In the same way Steven Wright uses a monotone voice and lackluster delivery to enhance his mundane observations (which are hilarious in my opinion), or the oft-imitated cadence of Dave Attell, Dane found a voice. That's not new in comedy ("I get no respect" - Rodney Dangerfield).

Do me (and yourself) a favor and seek out a Dane track that you've never heard (audio only) and try to listen to it without cracking a smile. Don't fight cracking a smile, but see if you can last a whole track without doing so. Maybe try a couple. That's the test I take whenever I think I'm judging a comedian too hard based on my perception that could influenced by external factors.

Note: It's a fact that Bill Engvall is NOT funny. I've listened to an entire album and did not crack a smile...he does NOT pass the test

I'd like to add that I used to agree with you about Dane, until I took "the test" and now I've come to the conclusion that he's a decent comedian and deserves any accolades he's earned from his loving fans.

So is the "Dane Cook Test" the new "Trust Fall"?

Is the "Dane Cook" test like the Dag Wood test?

Kind of but with less boners...and I mean than the "trust fall"

This guy's usually pretty funny.

I've yet to see anything from Dane Cook that has made me laugh. Do you have any suggestions?

Yeah man, falling into the camp of Dane Cook = awkwardly funny, inconsistent. Burr hits on all eight most times, some seasoned and evolving comedians to watch on my short list-list of who I'd like to see famous include (if the genius' stick with comedy), Godfrey, Anthony Jeselnik , Kevin Hart, I dig comedian/musicians as well, Kate Micucci comes to mind, the kids from Comedy Death Ray in L.A., all the stuff the crew at Groening inc. and Matt Stone and Trey Parker LLC. crank out...That's all the, funny-bone-free-association for the day

It seems they cut the last joke short and edited in the "rub one out" bit.

Also...

Yeah, bagging Dane Cook is for the tourists in comedy land.

Meanwhile, on Burr - you have to respect a comedian when you fundamentally disagree with his main point but find yourself laughing right through his set.
