He’s a stand up comedian turned actor that was really really popular,
and I don’t know why, as he’s neither a good actor nor a good stand
up comedian.
Not that my expectations for American pop culture are very high anymore.
I agree, not so funny, but the crying bit is so dead on, its hard not to laugh.
My vote: not funny. But it’s funny–er–interesting, that the small group that we host (which is made up of college-agers) all find him hilarious. Is it possible that his appeal is almost exclusively in the 12-22 age group?
Yeah could be I guess. Although here’s the best Dane Cook mock ever:
The first time I heard Dane Cook’s stuff it was really funny, but it did weart thin pretty fast. Since then I’ve found that he has used 3 bits of Lewis C.K.’s almost verbatim, so I went from indifferent to distaste.
I think you can youtube clips of the jokes told by CK and then by Dane immediately after.
Yeah, I just watched/listened to a couple on youtube. Wow. Now I really really don’t like him.
Who’s Dane Cook? Or is it someone who is not familiar to one so old as me?
heh, possibly. He’s this guy:

It’s a little vulgar, but really funny.
Now that’s funny!
