I tried to watch 2 minutes of his stand up (on Comedy Central right now) and could almost feel my IQ dropping, not unlike that one time I tried to watch Mind of Mencia

No. Some of his earlier stuff was actually funny, though now, he tries to get his jokes across by the exaggeration and the delivery style. And, while both are essential to be a good comedian (in my eyes anyway), his actual jokes just aren't funny.

Yes he does. I turned it on just now because a friend of mine was like "Turn on Dane Cook so we can not laugh together!"

I turned it on, I didn't laugh, I'm now feeling my brain cells deteriorate.

No, it actually makes me feel very smart seeing as I have the brains not to laugh at this rubbish.

I wouldn't know...I dont watch Dane Cook. I heard a minute or two of his standup album, and didn't care for it.

I think Dane Cook is hilarious. The pantamimes are what get me. Plus, many of his joke I just fine outrageously hilarious.

I love story jokes, so Dane Cook has to be one of my favorite comedians. I've seen Vicious Circle too many times, but I still love the noodles. ;)

He has to be the most boring comedian I've ever seen. It's almost embarassing to watch. He's just not funny to me.

Not to be sexist, but a lot of female comedians aren't that funny.

The dude just can't deliver a joke. It just pounds away with it like the more spastic he is the funnier it gets. It just doesn't work.

Hmm... Are the kind of guy who likes, "So what the deal with airline food?" kind of jokes? Because there is more than one way to be hilarious.

George Carlin that is really a mature type of comedy. To me Lisa Lampenelli is for those nights when your bored and sleepy and just want some nice old rascist stand up. Its stupid but I guess its my form of comedy.

I used to think he was funny back when I was a sophomore in high school. Since then I've grown up and recognized that George Carlin is infinitely superior to Dane Cook--dead or alive.

We were talking over the internet so it technically wasn't company. :P Otherwise I do agree. I can't understand how people enjoy his routines.

No he isn't. There are much worse out there. Carrot Top and Gallagher for example are utterly embarrassing.

I'm a fan of Dane Cook. I'm sure there are tons of people who dislike his comedy, but I'm guessing some just hate him to jump on the bandwagon of those who do, without really even being familiar with him.
