phlegmmo: Our long national nightmare is over.

No, it isn't:

FTFA: In September, he inked a development deal with NBC for his own network comedy series, a half-hour show he's slated to headline next fall.

Those miserable bastards at NBC signed Cook to a deal, then put Community on hiatus. Coincidence?

In other news, Jack the Ripper stopped killing prostitutes out of respect for women.

I feel bad for the guy, one of the most hated celebrities out there. Not a fan or anything

Dane Cook makes me laugh.

Great.

And nothing of value was lost.

Hmm, Herman Cain quits and Dane Cook quits? Coincidence?

I have never laughed at Dane Cook OR Jeff Dunham. I'll allow as to that Dunham has a real talent for ventriloquism, but his material is old and not funny, he's never got me to even crack a smile.

Cook's routine is to twist around and pose like some spastic ferret with St. Vitus' Dance, while doing material gleaned from grade school boy's rooms.

I always figured he was a hack, but his appearance on Louie kind of made me respect him somehow.

I think they are both gay for each other, honestly.

Methinks subby meant Cook *plagiarizes* the art form too much.
 
2011-12-04 06:00:51 PM
He was still doing stand up?
 
2011-12-04 06:01:16 PM
Same Cook is funny. I don't get the hate.
 
2011-12-04 06:09:45 PM
He's quitting to look after his brother (new window).

Omnivorous: He's quitting to look after his brother (new window).

So Dane Cook's half brother steals money, and Dane Cook steals jokes. I guess this thing does run in families.

Maybe he can have a beer and a sangwich and drown his sorrows.

"If I'm going to gonna do stand-up again - I respect the art form so much, it's glamorous to me - and if I partake in it again, I want to feel like I'm lending something to it."

Not like that ever stopped him before, why now?

I like Dane Cook, partially because every person on Fark hates him. Fark you guys in the ass with a rusty pitchfork.

A college roommate of mine showed me a Dane Cook video before I knew who he was. I kept watching, waiting for a punchline. Then I realized my roommate was laughing, and I was just scratching my head trying to figure out if I was getting punked.

Your Weeners is a common retort used against people who defend popular garbage, which I was not doing.

He's always made me laugh, and he seems like a pretty decent guy.

Dane's not relevant to standup anymore, especially since Daniel Tosh came along, stole his act, then tried to hide it by putting funny material in it.

I have frequently paid good money for them, and would gladly do so again.

It's not that it isn't funny, it's just most of the funny racial humor has already been done. I'm not a fan of Lopez or Mencia's humor because I already heard Paul Rodriguez and Cheech Marin tell the same jokes 25 years ago.

Same thing with the dozens of black comedians that are doing nothing but thinly veiled Richard Pryor impersonations.

They announced that the new album was done on November 28th, so it should be out early next year. I'm sure a tour will follow.

I adore them as well. Shirley Manson ROCKS.

I agree

I will say that Spanish language based comedy (culturally speaking) seems a lot more, I don't know...simple? Even in Spain, the comedy shows are not much different than the zany nonsense that you see on Telemundo. Lots of noise and crazy costumes. I think language goes really deep into ourselves, even affecting general sense of humor.
