Oh how I hate Dane Cook

[Chief]

Everyone has different tastes in comedy and what they think is funny. I personally agree that Dane Cook isn't funny. I watched one of his stand up specials and I didn't laugh one time.

I used to think all comedians were funny. But that was the days of the Dean Martin roasts and those kinds of guys really were funny. I still think Rodney Dangerfield was one of the funniest guys ever.

When you have to resort to gutter language to get a laugh from people who are drinking, you're just not that funny.

Agree.

I don't get Dane Cook at all.

Every once in awhile, I'll stumble across someone who is really funny. Not sure why they have to be so vulgar. I tried to watch George Lopez the other night on the comedy channel and it was mostly just a string of bleeps.

Maybe Rogan should try it, because he's not funny either.

But he would kick your a--!

Good looking woman with a great voice, but that wasn't very funny.

Jim Gaffigan is the funniest comedian out there IMO..there's really no out there like him.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

*Shrugs* I find almost all the people mentioned on here funny in one way or another. They've all, well not all the mentioned ones but most of them, made me laugh and they've all done things that made me scratch my head and wonder why they thought that was funny.

Really the only ones I absolutely can't stand, at all, and don't find to be in the least bit funny are Mencina and Larry The Cable Guy. Those two guys just piss me off how unfunny they are.

But outside them I usually get a chuckle or two out of their acts, at least.

I thought Dane Cook's early stuff was funny but agree with those who say he promoted himself into a star and didn't really earn it. His recent material is bad, including the new "edgy" stuff.

Blue humor done well definately has its place with me. Loved Kinison and Bill Hicks; Jay Mohr is great

We see Brian Regan every time he's in Phoenix, including last weekend. He is totally clean (but doesn't preach it) and really funny:

Brian Regan is a genius. Its a shame he doesn't get the attention he deserves.

Probably one of the funniest guys in comedy right now and I have never heard him say anything remotely out of taste.

my favorite by far
I can't help chuckling just looking at him as he tells a joke
alot of standup is not what you say, but how you say it too, and he delivers very well, but not ********-like like Dane Cook, Krack Williams and Carlos Midget

Yep...

Give me Regan, Gaffigan and Martin, and bring back Mitch Hedberg for good measure and I'm set.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

He has never been funny, but I will throw him a bone in this respect. On a day he gets kicked in the nuts and expels an expletive, he is 100 times funnier than George Lopez has ever been... or ever will be...

Uh. no.

Lisa Lamponelli is a funny nasty B.
I would not want her point me out on stage or in a crowd.

She really tares up Andy Dick

She also got Eddie Griffin pretty good during Pam's Breast Roast.

Mitch HEdberg was also pretty good.

Bob Nelson was a good one. He stole the show at the Young Comedians in 1987.

He maybe a Bruce Lee fanatic and the reason he took up the Martial Arts, but he damn sure doesn't have Bruce Lee reactions! :laugh2:

...hope that car was insured!

So I take it you watched the bruce lee documentary last night.

Pretty good stuff.

I watched part of it the other and came away with the impression some people take him a little to seriously. One of the all time great philosophers? Really?

I'm a Bruce Lee fanatic too! I used to watch Kung ** Theater every weekend at 11AM! :laugh2: (though Bruce Lee was never in those)

Bruce Lee? I see him like this. There are certain types of people that change the world. Most of the ones that do, have two things in common. They "think differently" and secondly they are "extremely driven people".

Bruce Lee had both traits. Was he super smart? I don't know maybe, but I don't believe because you see something differently, makes you smart. Even if that different view brings new prospective.

There is no question in my mine though, people with both traits are special. Anyone that can influence that many people and change the way things are done are special.

I agree he changed the world of film because he broke the asian stereo type and got people interested in martial arts but as a philosopher I just don't see it.

He also broke the mold in how Martial Arts films were produced and directed.

Bruce Lee was in fact a philosopher by pure definition of what a philosopher is. Martial Arts was a passion for him and he studied and taught that passion. He also used to spend hours with Martial Art masters of other techniques discussing the theories involved. That is how Jeet Kune Do came about and how it's philosophies contunied to evolve until his death in 1973.
