In the end Dane Cook is what again I'd like to refer to as a 'new age' comic. The whole package and presentation can make a difference. We all could probably name some movies that were low on plot but high on their popcorn flick fun factor.

He's been labeled by many as a comedian that does more performing than joke telling to sell his act, but I have to say 'so what'? As a movie reviewer, I can certainly run off a list of names of flicks that would have been garbage if held to strict standards. Many might be skeptical on Dane's performance abilities.

He makes full use of the stage as expected with overly dramatic body language to emphasize pretty much everything throughout the entire show. Appropriately at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston in front of 18,000 people, Dane has been placed on a circular stage in the center of all attending. He's always moving around and working the stage. Body language is always somewhat of an emphasis for comics, but Dane Cook's body is his own prop. The jokes he does tell are a bit more modern and 'new age', and a lot of the time his laughs don't come from jokes at all but from his stories and his body movement. Facial expressions and body language all have something to do with the delivery as well, but Dane Cook has twisted the old format to suit his own abilities on the stage. There's a very distinct line that's drawn with most comics as to how they tell a joke and deliver the punch-line. No matter how you take comedy though, there are certainly major differences between Dane and other performers and you can see them all in this event. Some take it as far as to call it a serious form of art, and for those that do it for a living I can certainly appreciate and understand that as well. I love stand-up and can appreciate all the major names in the business. So again the question comes up, is he really all that funny?Ĭomedy for me is a way to laugh and have a good time. Usually large names like Bill Cosby or Robin Williams get a feature length treatment, and here we find Dane Cook in the same situation. Then came along Vicious Circle, a feature length stand-up that lasted an hour and a half.

He's had royal treatment with a short televised series on HBO called Tourgasm which followed Dane and other comic friends around the country as they toured. HBO has given Cook quite a large moment to shine after the smash success of his first two CD's Harmful If Swallowed and Retaliation. If you want to find out if Dane Cook is funny or not, you can finally see for the first time on DVD a full length performance by the trivialized performer. It seems to all fall squarely on Dane because of his 'rock star' status. Despite the fact that many stand-up comics use the same subject matter for material over and over again, it's all gone without mention in the past. In the end the only thing I can think of is how many times I've heard the same material between different comedians in the past already. Many have chosen sides on the issue, fans and comedians alike. Dane Cook has denied the allegations of stand-up plagiarism. His material has said to have been quite similar to that of Louis C.K., another performer that had his moment to shine on HBO recently with the series Lucky Louie. The questions raised about Cook have been if he's even all that funny, or if his material has been stolen and altered to be made his own.

This is pretty rare for a comedian to gain such a following and in such a short amount of time.ĭane is also the object at the end of a very large poking stick as other comedians supposedly are a bit upset over the rising star and his talent, or perhaps lack there of. Some might say 'he's only a stand-up comic', but this star has gained a 'rock star' status. If you're okay with that, check it out but don't expect to be rolling with laughter.Dane Cook has been a fast rising star. I REALLY wanted it to be because I think he's a funny guy. I don't want to say it was bad because I didn't think it was awful but it felt like watching 'dad jokes' attempting to be current and falling short. It was chucklesome but it's not Vicious Circle. He discusses an encounter with a stalker, his much younger girlfriend and performing one of his earlier gigs. It's a modern setting in which he is trying to go for a very comfortable, laid back environment. In this special, Dane has set up a gathering in his backyard. So, we've aged, lost some of that youthful gusto, physical comedy and perhaps lost touch with our demographic a bit. I'm not sure when I last saw Dane Cook, be it a stand up or movie/tv project, but its been a while.
