Dane Cook Stinks
A couple of Boston shock jocks named Toucher & Rich recently held an "Unfunniest Comic" contest, where listeners could call in and vote for the worst standup, March Madness-style. The "winner" is Boston's own Dane Cook.
I haven't seen enough of his act to really hate him, but I'm a Louis CK fan and I don't like how Cook "borrowed" several of his jokes:
Well, Toucher & Rich had better look out. Cook gets very angry when people don't say nice things.

I know that all comedians steal bits from each other to some degree, but it's ones like these idiots who go too far.
Bill Hicks fans still grumble about Dennis Leary, and when I first heard the same comparison with those two I cried a bit inside.
Then I ate another baked pita chip dipped in roasted red pepper hummus.
Mmmmm, hummus!

Who is this Dane Cook person? Are they simply famous for being famous like Paris?

Jesus, if you're going to steal, why would you steal from Louis CK? The horror, the horror.

Allright look Blowing Smoke dudes, I know Treach is now some big shot too good for us down here in blogoland now that he's got all those showbiz friends (such as they are), but it's no fair to put some immigrant worker in his job. No one would believe he'd love CK. Come ON, keep it plausible, eh?

Louis is one of the best standups out there, and he kills whenever he's on O&A. I'm a big fan.

And you don't like Kathy Shaidle. Ok, I'll just adjust lower.
Argh. Ok, I'll go look up the standup, but I accidentally caught his TV show for a few moments, but I didn't induce vomiting, and just called the doctor. It was bad. Very bad. My suicide will be on your head, Treacher.

I haven't seen Lucky Louie, maybe it does stink, but his standup is funny.
(And you got the Shaidle thing backwards, by the way.)

Oh. Ok! I misinterpreted something you'd said when I brought Shaidle up a while back. I'll look up the standup. But I warn you now, I give a nasty evil eye to all who cross me.

Dane Cook started off as a stand up comedian; now he's starring in movies with Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba and Kate Hudsen...
