TJones Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Snarky - Dane Cook (whom I find to be a total douche) uses it almost exclusively.[tangent] I can not stand people who find Dane Cook funny. He lacks wit, he steals jokes, and he depends on spastic movements & loud noises to deliver his pathetic material.[/tangent]WOW ! And I thought I was the only one that noticed.

I don't see how people think he's funny. Although I did like Elf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His comedy is completely different from Dane's. Larry the Cable Guy, funny as hell on stage, but try to get him on the silverscreen, and you got a "straight to video" feature.

I don't recall having ever seen him in that role; he's really more of a comedy actor.And just so as to keep it on topic, the first name "Dane" annoys me.

TJones Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) ...or Coochie, Cooch, or any other variations on the word.The difference, though, is that he's in roles that are intentionally meant to be loud and irrelevant. Dane Cook doesn't seem to mean to be irrelevant, he just is, as if by accident.Nothing wrong with the word "Coochie", thank you Charro ! Dane is more IRREVERENT than irrelevent. He can't even write his own material for cryin out loud, steals from his fellow comedians, how disrespectful is that ?

TJones Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Better yet, extremely Repulsive, Ugly and NOT FUNNY...#1 George Lopeznext runner up #2 Adam Sandlerboth human hemorrhoidsI disagree about Lopez, I have been watching him since the 80's. He does an excellent Rodney Dangerfield. And, if you can understand him when he starts doing his Spanglish on stage, he is a riot. Sandler has made some good movies, don't like his stand-up, but a solid comedic actor. His little tight-knit group of comedy acting buddies gets a little played after awhile after you keep seeing them in ALL of his movies, or any movie that Adam has a hand in. But, Adam is like that, he knows his buddies need work, so why not throw them the bones.One of my all-time favorite comedians is Brian Reagan. It is hard to get me to actually laugh out loud, and he does it everytime. Jim Carrey is also one of the best stand-ups I have ever seen. I am also glad to see Andrew Dice Clay make a comeback.

CDeb Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) I find Adam Sandler's movies infinitely funnier than Will Farrell's movies, and they aren't even THAT funny. Maybe I'm just getting old. Edited April 11, 2007 by CDeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 These 2 are not considered comedians but I have to say when they go at each other its PURE COMEDY!1. Rosie (truck driver) O'donnell and 2. Donald TrumpI would pay to see them jump in to a ring! Priceless Friday Night Smack-down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamo Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I disagree about Lopez, I have been watching him since the 80's. He does an excellent Rodney Dangerfield. And, if you can understand him when he starts doing his Spanglish on stage, he is a riot.I agree about Lopez. I don't like his acting on his TV show, but his HBO specials are hilarious. I also have been enjoying watching on HBO on demand the stand up of Cedric the Entertainer, Wanda Sykes and some old ones like Chris Rock and Dana Carvey.

Vertigo58 Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 1. David Chapell is a riot. I have only seen him a few times but talk about no "holds barred comedy", its relentless! 2. Ben Stiller was wayyyyyy funnier when he had his TV show in the 80's was it? The skits were pure genius. I urge you to get DVDs & be sure to wear adult diapers when viewing.

TJones Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 (edited) Dave Chappelle, is one of THE best, finally got the recognition he deserved, but he couldn't handle the spotlight. too much light on him, may open him up to being caught with his WEED ! That would be bad for Dave.Dave Atell, is also one of my alltime favorites. one of his jokes is actually my favorite. He says, " They say Drinking and Driving is WRONG! And, those people are the Cops..................but dammit, those kids have to get to school on time in the morning." That is GOLD !Speaking of comedians, apparently someone over at Google Maps, fancies himself a comedian also. Try this link, and Go to "Get Directions", and type in New York, New York to Paris, France and then Check out the directions portion and read line 23: on this link.http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&o...p;tab=wl&q= Edited April 11, 2007 by TJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Yes, we call that the Dennis Miller ratio." 1. Ellen Degenerate is only funny when she's being parodied on Mad TV. 2. Jerry Seinfeld reruns still break me up no matter how often I've seen them. The casting was prefect. George Costanza's mom & dad floor me every time they go at each other, pure madness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hark, me thinks doth protests to much for thee chastizes Miller because he be ith Republican tho ?I happened to catch Dennis on HBO last night, funny stuff about what went on in 2005.I agree about Carlos Mencia though. I just think he ran out of material, and plays waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too much on his "Do-Dah-Doooooooo!" thing. I don't know what happen with him?

Pumapayam Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 1. Ellen Degenerate is only funny when she's being parodied on Mad TV.I love her AMEX ads, she has a dry humor about her.It is both the tone, the delivery, and her expression that make her humorous.If you have seen Finding Nemo, she was the star in the movie.Without her being Dory, it would not have worked.Ellen is a comic genius.

TJones Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 Someone mentioned Rosie was NOT a stand-up, well, she actually was a stand-up for a very long time, then started hangin with madonna, and got a couple of movies. She is not funny at all as a stand-up, but she plays an excellent "FatChick" bestfriend sidekick. Seems to be her bread and butter. She is not funny, I think she does GREAT charity work, but she is NOT funny.Kathy Griffith, now SHE is funny ! Probably the only woman STAND-UP comic that I have EVER found to be funny. There have been some funny comedic actresses, Lucile Ball, Julia Louise Dreyfuss, yadda yadda yadda. But Kathy can hang with ALL the big boys up on stage.
