I'd answer hell no if the option had been presented. He's horrible, hoooooorrible. Seriously he's the opposite of funny.

The bits I've seen on cable are funny as hell. But I think only guys can relate to some of the material.

He does rely on his delivery technique with posture and gestures a lil'too heavily but other than that he makes me laugh. So yes from me.

He's like Halo.

Not much to him, but good refined delivery, and should appeal to frat boys.

First time I saw him on tv it was 3 am and I was in a hotel in the middle of no where. The only joke I found funny was the bj in car one. Sorry..... I know, I've let myself down here by laughing at that.

I think he's a horrible comedian for the most part. I really have a hard time understanding his following.

If you scroll down to related threads, you'll see "Former cook 'put semen in sandwiches'". I think handing out semen sandwiches is pretty comparable to what Dane Cook does on stage.

Thats signature material right there.

Jesus, he's not that bad. He's had me and my friends laughing our butts off on many occasions. And no, I'm not a member of any frat.

Also, who the heck do you guys watch that are so funny, they put Mr. Cook to shame? Carlin is only so funny, and most black/female comedians are horrible. Yes, lets listen to a comedian retell the same jokes of self-degrading stereotypes.

"Yeah, so I was driving bad the other day, and my husband starts flirting with another woman. So I says, "have fun sleeping on the couch tonight!" Am I right ladies, come on, eh? Am I right!?"

Just off the top of my head Rhod Gilbert, Gabriel Iglesias, Pablo Fransisco, Omid Djalili, Russel Peters (although he relies too much on stereotypes), and Gad Elmaleh.

Right now, my favorite has to be Bill Burr.

check him out if you haven't seen him. He's getting pretty big.

Just like this clip as it shows he doesn't trip himself up with race jokes. I dont know any other white comedian that can do this without being offensive.
