    Well I don't think anyone's crediting him with anything he's not responsible for, so any adulation is deserved.

    Unless they're mixing him up with richard lewis and saying he was in Robin Hood, Men in Tights, etc etc.

    and Dublo, fyi, Best Steaks Ever: Char Char Bull in Fremantle, at the marina.

    Never even heard of it.
    I should check it out sometime.

    His last HBO show was one of my favorite comedy shows. His ability to make the normal seem ridiculous reminded me of a younger George Carlin.

    He'll be missed.

    Also, I am equally skeptical about being shot in the face, although we don't really know much. He may have shot himself in the mouth, and she just said face because, i mean, seriously, who is thinking clearly when you see something like that?

    He was pretty funny. It's a wonder why he would kill himself mid-revival. The article I first read claimed he was selling out wherever he went.

    Damn, why can't Dane Cook man up and kill himself. At least marry a psycho who shoots him at a later date.

    Depends on whether you believe he killed himself. A lot of people think his girlfriend did it, since he shot himself in the face, which is unusual for a suicide victim (usually temple or mouth, unless by "face" she meant mouth, but was too distraught to be specific), and he left no suicide note.

    However, another theory was that he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and made a significant charity contribution before he killed himself. Some recent photos of him may support this, as he looked very ill.

    Dane Cook is very funny and any comic's material would get old when everybody and their brother is repeating his lines over and over again.

    The internet hate is generated from a bunch of jealous nerds who can't stand to see a comic that popular and that much better looking than them. Guess what guys? The uglier funny men still get more ass than you too. Get the fuck over it!

    I find Dane Cook to not be worthy of a strong opinion either way

    I don't go looking for his material, but I wouldn't shoot him if I saw him out on the street

    Dude, what are you his brother or something?

    Its not jealousy, I could give a shit how successful he is. I'm just saying that his act got REAL old REAL fast.

    And if I have to listen to one more of his routines get repeated by some skrawny little 13 year-old I'm going to just murder the next thing I see.

    the thing is... hes got good delivery.... but he delivers every joke the exact same way.
    i used to like him to, until i saw what a prick he was on Tourgasm, then came the shitty movies...
    and the fact that his jokes arent even his just seals the deal for me.

    There is a difference between similar bits and outright theft.

    Dane Cook has been accused of this. Comics don't just go throwing that shit around, it is a VERY serious accusation.

    I like some of Dane Cook's stuff.

    I like Arj Barker quite a bit. And Brian Regan (the avatar Butters is using).

    The Amazing Jonathan is always fun. John Stewart did some pretty good standup back in the day.

    Ellen DeGeneres does very good standup. She's one of very few female comedians I like because she's not all "lol, men are dumb, I have periods". She wasn't even like that before she came out.

    It sounds terribly racist and sexist, but there are so few comedians that are black, female, hispanic, or whatever that don't use their minoritiness as a crutch for all of their material.

    but his observational humor is terrible. He just yells about something, and doesn't even embellish it nor does he have a punchline

    CK, though funny, is kind of a cunt too. He's a pretty angry dude. Bitches about a lot of people.

    Movie(s)? His role in waiting was pretty funny and very small and then you have one other movie. When is the last time a currently successful comedian has been good in a movie anyway?

    Yeah Tourgasm was stupid and that was partly because of the hacks that were on tour with him. Those guys stunk. But you know what? CK's show didn't do so well either.

    Finally, only two comics that I know of have accused him of stealing material. CK and Joe Rogan. CK's assertions really are reaching if you ask me and Rogan accuses everyone more successful than him of stealing his jokes. He accused Denis Leary of the same thing at the height of his popularity.
