what Dane Cook brings to the table. The wife and I were watching a movie last night and there was a preview for some movie that this fucktard happens to be in. Every time I see him, I want to punch the tv. He can't act. He's not funny. And he looks like a 30-year-old, collar-popping, self-centered, frat-boy, tool gazer with repressed homosexual tendencies. Yet the asshole finds work. Hundreds of thousands of more deserving people in this country cannot find work, and he can. If someone can explain this to me, please do so. I just can't wrap my mind around the appeal for this guy.

I get the whole " fucktard " thing, my wife fucking hates him. I however can tolerate him in some movies, examples " my best friends girl " and " Waiting ". but for the most part he's a DB and sucks, especially his stand up.

Guess I'm in the minority. When he first came out, I loved him. His Comedy Central Presents was awesome, still one of my favorites. His shtick has gotten old, but I still get a chuckle every once and a while from him stuff.

His shtick has gotten old, but I still get a chuckle every once and a while from him stuff. His stand-up shtick is to rip off material from other comedians. Sure... all comedians steal material, but Cook isn't even sly about it. Most of the stuff is word-for-word stolen material. Then, his whole "look", attitude, and the fact that he gets ENTIRELY too many movie roles really rubs me wrong. He is kinda like the male version of Paris Hilton in a lot of ways. Not attractive, no talent, not funny... yet somehow still gets people to pay attention to him.

And also....
the jackass ruined "Dan in Real Life". Cook was so bad, it was distracting.
The movie sucked anyway, but would have not sucked near as bad if ANYONE else would have played his role.
Seth Rogan would have been fucking perfect for that role and really have made the movie decent, IMO.

I liked him in his small role of "Waiting"...other than that, he's just a material stealing fratboy looking douchebag. My wife likes him ("oh he's kind of cute!") which makes it all the more annoying.

I have no major beefs with Mr. Cook. Some of his stuff is actually pretty funny. He's no Mitch Hedberg or George Carlin, but he's entertaining. Definitely high energy.

I don't mind the guy. I thought he was pretty good in that Jessica Alba flick where in the middle of the movie he goes off and bangs like a dozen chicks. Pretty awesome. My best friends girl was pretty good too. Dane Cook, Raw or whatever it's called is ok.
