I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere, but those promos Dane Cook does for the playoffs seem to be cursed. They did one on the Brewers before they starting tanking and now they've been playing one about the Mariners who have lost 9 straight. Those are the only two I've seen, but I don't watch ESPN all that much (I think they're on ESPN). If those are the only two, that's pretty funny.

 

I just don't want to hear that obnoxiously loud mouth talking about the Cubs.

He also did one for the Indians while they remain in first. they've been mediocre at best as of late.

 

Yeah they had a mediocre 8 game winning streak snapped yesterday.

the only curse is on everyone else in the universe that has to go to our actual jobs everyday to make ends meet -- there's got to be a reason that no talent hack is on TV and in movies

 

His career is unbelievable. There's nothing funny about the guy, and somehow he's parlayed that into a multi-million dollar career. And now he's the face of the 2007 playoffs? I just don't get it.

Looks like I'm the only Dane Cook fan here... :?

Not the only one. I just gave up disagreeing a long time ago.

Now I don't feel nearly as bad...haha.

Ted Demmy directed Lock 'n Load for Leary, figured that would win some points on this board.

I guess I need to watch more TV, I thought the Brewers and Mariners were the only ones....kind of makes this thread pointless...oh well.

 

And for the record, I think Dane Cook can be very funny, but he's still loud and obnoxious.

Yeah, I saw Tourgasm as well. I think he was the 2nd best comedian there though. I don't think what he did at Tourgasm was his best stuff. A lot of people hate him and I don't understand why. Yeah, he's kind of obnoxious and I don't like his on stage antics all that much, but a lot of his stuff is actually funny. I think a lot of people overrate him, but I also think a lot of people severly underrate him. I can't listen to his Harmful if Swallowed CD and not crack up.

That man was just the Dane Cook of his day, blatantly ripping off a much better comedian:

Even worse, not only was he ripping the guy off, he was ripping of a dying man and then really kicked into overdrive after Hicks died.

 

I really enjoy Leary as an actor and have loved his TV shows, but as a comedian I find him to be a total hack and completely reprehensible.

I've found that most people that can't stand him do so because it's pretty clear he's a joke thief a la Carlos Mencia. Cook has ripped off so much of Louis CK's act that it should be criminal. You pull out all of the bits that he's stolen and you're left with a guy braying like a jackass and bragging about his MySpace page.

Dane Cook is pretty funny, I don't get the hatred towards him. Dislike him, sure that's fine. But people pure straight hate the guy. Why?

Yeah, H.I.S. is very funny. Retaliation is a pretty decent comedy album with some great laughs, but sometimes during that it seemed like he was reaching for bits that fit his persona, whereas H.I.S. flowed pretty well.

He's just plain annoying. The Actober crap makes it worse.

Because most of his act is stolen and he's gotten rich and famous off of the creative works of someone else.
