Dane Cook

You know, I’m pretty brutal of Dane Cook’s style..I’m a fan of irony, sarcasm, dry humor, british humor, jewish type humor, neurotic-type comedians…Dane kind of just plays it straight, his stuff reminds me more of a mix between improv / poetry, storytelling and the shock jock radio host genre…different than my favorite stand up which is intellectual, social critique, and just neurosis, and things that drive you crazy.He doesn’t really ruminate…so, I don’t relate to him. He has no apparent self-doubt or inner conflict. I think he kind of plays to his generational audience, I don’t get any kind of strong message or identity or comedic view of the world from him. It’s all self-contained situational humor it seems. No tragic humor.I guess I just like people who speak in generalities, not specific stories, like banal stories of hookups gone wrong…I kind of like stuff that challenges convention, not just confirms it.he’s a charismatic guy, but, not really a ‘born comedian’. His act just seems a little forced, trying a little too hard. He get’s really ’stoked’ on stage, but, I like my comedians genuinely pissed off and apathetic at the same time – like me! So, there’s my deep analysis of Dane Cook and my comedy taste.
