Kinda like a more lively Steven Wright.
One Liner Comedian Chris Turner (Hilarious Deadpan)
I dunno, I respect your opinion but disagree almost entirely. It's pretty easy to delineate what's original in stand-up comedy. These are all his own jokes, so they're original. A lack of emotion in delivery isn't the exclusive domain of Wright, so any perceived similarity there isn't really relevant. No one else in the reddit thread where I found this video made the same association. There was one comment comparing him to Anthony Jeselnik, though, which was just as weird to see. Dunno why people insist on having to compare every comic to every other one. Regardless, I think Chris here would take it as a compliment to be seen as in the same vein as Steven Wright.

Sorry to hear that your experience of comedy is so limited that any slight resemblance of one comic to another prevents you from appreciating them.
Steven Wright wasn't the first deadpan one liner either!

Steven Wright called - he wants his schtick back.
Bill Burr on Abusing Women
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 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.

If you read quotes from Steven Wright and Emo Philips, it is amazing how similar their humor is, and yet their delivery is so exact opposite.
