Anyone watch Dane Cook last night?

[Thig Lyfe]

so dane cook is a moron, but the hot pocket guy is brilliant?

Yes. Jim Gaffigan is great. Anybody who can talk about nothing but food for an hour and still be funny and original is a damn good comedian.

[sedated]

I've seen him a couple times. Not my cup of tea.

And it kinda annoys me that every time a comedian discussion comes up, every modern comedian is an idiot except for the hot pocket guy, Zach whatshisname, and the fat sidekick from King of Queens.

Well I'm on record as saying that I don't think any of those guys are anything special.

Yeah, they're only three of the ten best comedians working today. Nothing special.

[BigMeatballDave]

I know a lot of people really like Mitch Hedberg, but his stuff doesn't do anything for me.
My favorites are Louis CK, Lewis Black, and Jim Gaffigan.

[BigMeatballDave]

Mike Birbiglia is really good, too.

[Thig Lyfe]

Mike Birbiglia is really good, too.

Agreed. He and Louis CK are both great. Lewis Black kinda peaked a few years ago for me.

[Pablo]

Mike Birbiglia is really good, too.I dig Demetri Martin.

[sedated]

Yeah, they're only three of the ten best comedians working today. Nothing special.

In your opinion.


Just like these dumbasses like Dane Cook. I'm sure he's on a few people's top 10 lists.

[BigRedChief]

None of these guys mentioned here as good as was Carlin in a bad year.:harumph:

I personally don't find the Zach whatshisname guy funny at all.

[Thig Lyfe]

I dig Demetri Martin.

Yep, he's in that top 10, too.

Yep. He reminds me of Penz.

Amen.

[Messier]

I personally don't find the Zach whatshisname guy funny at all.

No, he seems to really be in love with his own existential weirdness. The "I am soooo hilarious" vibe that some comedians give off, where they laugh at their own stuff, is annoying.

[Thig Lyfe]

He doesn't have that vibe at all.

yes he does.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Do you realize that you are the "Mecca" of comedy topics on this board? I'm dead fucking serious. I look at some of your posts, and it's the exact same tone.

Don't get me wrong, do your thing and keep on trucking. But I thought you MIGHT want to know. ;)

[Thig Lyfe]

yes he does.

Nope.

He's naturally weird. And he doesn't laugh at his own jokes. If he's laughing at anything, it's the absurdity of his profession. He's joked in interviews about "why can't the audience find ways to amuse themselves?" But I think he's slightly serious about that.

[The Franchise]

:shake:

What are you shaking your head at? If I think he's not funny....then that's my opinion. Deal with it.

I'm fine with that. Mecca generally knows what he's talking about.

WAHHH IT'S MY OPINION WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHHHH

No shit. Some people are of the opinion that we never landed on the moon. It's their opinion, and they're totally entitled to it, but that doesn't mean they're not crazy.

Yeah except Comedy isn't an exact science like football. Comedy is a matter of opinion.

ok. then you are fukn crazy, because none of those people are funny.

[Thig Lyfe]

Yeah except Comedy isn't an exact science like football. Comedy is a matter of opinion.

And a matter of taste and intelligence. What makes somebody laugh is subjective, but quality is way more objective than people want to admit.

[Thig Lyfe]

You're high.

See?! See?!:D

And I'm going to take your opinion with a grain of salt because you think Thigpen is a franchise QB.

I laugh, because I went down that road with 'Racer' a month ago or so.

[Messier]

Nope.

I hate the pretentious piano bit he does. But, in the Comedians of Comedy, you see him working on his act, and he does have some good bits, I love the brother from North Carolina , but he does seem to have a "I'm over your head" thing happening.

[Reaper16]

He's only over your head if you're a fucking moron.

When the fuck did I say that he was over my head?

[Messier]

He's only over your head if you're a ****ing moron.

There is a difference between thinking someone is over you head and thinking someone thinks THEY are over you head, if you can't understand that you're a ****ing moron.

You're babbling.

[Saulbadguy]

Jim Gaffigan actually did a bit about this sort of conversation.

"Oh, you didn't like that movie? You must have not gotten it."

I do admit though, most people i've met that like Dane Cook, swim in the shallow end of the gene pool.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

People who like Dane Cook are the same people who think "Jackass" is brilliant, and Johnny Knoxville is a genius.

it is brilliant of Johnny Knoxville, just like the big marketers of nascar. There are waaaaay more stupid people than intelligent people and why not easily take their money?

[stlchiefs]

I know I'm pages from the beginning of this thread, but I think Dane Cook sucks. I've watched numerous clips of his and have yet to laugh. He just doesn't do it for me.

Zach is my favorite comedian working today.

Brian Regan is awesome. He gets laughs out of the tried-and-true stand up subjects, somehow making these old-hat topics sound fresh again.

[Demonpenz]

The people that like dane cook is the people that i have to explain every joke i say in real life. Example

In st joseph we have a thing in the news paper "it's your call" it is ridiculous what people bitch at in there. So the other day






Random girl: Oh man these roads suck
Ray: Yeah, I wrote in to it's your call.....
Random girl: really?
Ray: Smacks forhead

[Saulbadguy]

Jackass is brilliant, though.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Jackass is brilliant, though.

You know why I'm not going to give you shit about that? Because I'm not a Comedy Nazi and I think you should watch and like whatever in the merry, blue hell pleases you.;)
