Default Dane Cook...what's his appeal?

Besides yelling during a stand up routine and performing in god awful movies, what do people honestly like about this guy? Am I missing something here? This isn't meant to slam anybody who likes Dane Cook, just wondering what he does that's so over the top hilarious.

This is one thing I cannot answer.. I thought I was alone. The guy isn't funny at all.

Anyone have a link to that SNL skit where they were making fun of his World Series commercials?

Some of his stand up has gusto, but other than that I haven't seen the appeal either. He looks as if he just can't wait to tell the punch line. Like a excited kid.

On a side note, that "Good Luck Chuck" movie with him and Jessica Alba is the lowest rated movie of all time on RT (3%). For some reason my girlfriend is still dying to see this movie.

In my opinion Mr. Woodcock was worse. Although it might have been because I was expecting less than nothing from Good Luck Chuck.

A few things.

1. I watched Good Luck Chuck while hungover or Jan 1. Jessica Alba has an *amazing* ass. But it can't save this movie.

2. I liked Employee of the Month.

3. I have never watched Dane Cook doing stand-up.

4. When Dane Cook hosted SNL last year, I asked aloud to anyone who might answer, "Who the f&ck is Dane Cook?" No one knew.

5. Apparently I have the same sense of humor as Dane Cook. I have been told this multiple times now by independently-opinonated individuals.

6. Therefore, if you hate Dane Cook, you hate me. So, f&ck you.

Hope that helps.

He's no Bob Saget, but some of his stuff is funny enough.

And I'm not kidding - Bob Saget at Yuk Yuk's was fugging hilarious.

Lemme guess... He "tripped" as he was running toward the stage... Then he got up on stage and bobbed his head while showing off his pearly whites...

Not quite. The fragment of a line that stands out most in my memory was something about him fingering Kimmy Gibbler.
