Will always enjoy his albums. Fame messes with people, and it is clear it messed with him, big time. I would have preferred that you had covered the WTF with the work he’s had done on his face. He was a handsome man. He looks like he should be telling me to mail him money for Jesus. He looks like a Wayne Newton prototype. My first wife was sick for years before she died, and Cook’s humor was one of the things that kept her going. I am forever a fan for that.
I have never ever had a reason to despise Dane Cook until after watching this video now knowing he is the reason this world is cursed with Jimmy Fallon… thanks a lot Dane.
I think what made Dane Cook's standup work for me were not the jokes per say, but the wild stories he'd create. He had so much energy and brought these scenarios to life, and the snippets of humor would be like sprinkles on top.
The truth is you typically click on who or what you think you can relate to. Dane was my entry as a black guy into white stand up. Because of him I’ve found countless comics I love from old school to current. I hope he gets back on track. Comedy brings people together
Yeah white comedy is really different. Black comedy just talks about the difference between black and white people, and usually putting white people down. So I imagine seeing things from the other perspective is interesting. Some white people comedy can be corny as hell though so sometimes black comedy can be better.
@@BlackMetalGraffiti I never thought of comedy as coloured but I guess some comedians have an audience they gear towards. I think all types can have lame aspects though.
@@Liusila yeah most definitely, I agree all types can have lame aspects. I think that it’s just an easy way out for comedians to “stick with what works” so for instance Asians comedians make fun of themselves. Women comedians found that being raunchy and kinda Tom boyish works better, black comedians talk down to white people and white people are more observational type humor.
I saw him at the University of Delaware in the middle of is peak after Retaliation. Every joke was new and he killed it. Afterwards, he went to the back of the room and drank with all the fans at the bar. Such a great dude
Dane Cook made me laugh back in the day. I'll always be thankful to the guy for that. I personally will always find him to be funny. Whether the rest of the world thinks so or not is irrelevant to me.
The guy has been through a lot. I knew his manager back when he was at his peak, he made the absolute worst choices for him to serve his own ego. I saw Dane perform maybe 100 times. He spiraled into a very dark place. I blame most on his manager Brian who should have been protecting him
I've said for a long time, "There's two kinds of comics: those with something to sell, and those who know how to sell it"--both can learn from each other, but Cook was definitely in the later category, and not so much the first. Lack of either will hurt your staying power.
Dane Cook was also in a Movie called 400 days in 2015 that was about a nasa crew in training who gets stuck on the moon and its a really good movie. i absolutely loved it.
Dane Cook to me is still amazing. He's hit some speed bumps but still I feel I'm a big fan. Employee of the month and Waiting are 2 of my favorites. Thanks for all you do Dane.
Just then you thought the world couldn't get any weirder, you learn that Dane Cook could've (indirectly) been hosting the Tonight Show instead of Fallon. If that isn't a trippy thought I don't know what is.
It’s such a shame we got Fallon. Dane has much more talent. The stage fright is a sign that he puts his all into it emotionally. Hope he gets another break
I don’t care what anyone says he was never ever funny. Never once even got a chuckle out of me. And I love comedy and humor beyond belief. Ok I’m ready for the predictable “well let’s see you do better” or “he’s done more then you, what have you done?” Or “you’re just jealous” insults. Hey relax it’s just my opinion, and it’s just a comedian.
There are some comedians I don't find funny or worth my time, too. Especially these days. In fact there are comedians I'd watch for hours doing their podcast, but I wouldn't waste a minute on their acts. For Dane, yeah, he doesn't have a traditional joke structure. But the schtick that he does do, the stuff in his wheelhouse, he does it well imho.
I guess I missed the meeting where we all "hated" Dane Cook... I don't know a single person who hated him. He had sold out arena stand-ups, and starred in some great movies (Waiting, Employee of the month). I miss Dane and hope he has a comeback!
Horrible day, felt terrible, didn't move from bed all day, finally decided I was gonna cheer myself up with some old comedians I used to watch, type in Dane cook and proceed to nearly cry because nothing is sacred in this world. Everything just has to go to shit doesn't it.
He was never funny to begin with. At least not his movies. In employee of the month they should have just kept the camera on Jessica Simpson the whole time. She’s not a very good actor either but at least she was hot. Cook doesn’t even have that going for him.
I had no idea he did so many movies. Was never a huge fan of his comedy but it wasn't all terrible. He's got a pretty good delivery and on stage presence, I just never really got into most of his material. To be fair he surprised me in Mr Brooks. He played a crazy MFer pretty good. He did much better in that movie than I thought he would. I even find some of his cameos to be funny. Sad to hear about his family problems.
I like Employee Of The Month. Also, Mr. Brooks was ok. The rest of it is meh. When it comes to comedy, in this case I think that it's less about the type of comedy and more about who's delivering it.
It's really weird I remember being at target YEARS ago and seeing the Dane cook Terminator looking special box set, and Vanessa hudgens album at the time right next to each other, that was back before the Internet got crazy too. I thought she was so hot
I don't care what anyone thinks! This guy was and is an amazing comic! Has anyone made a mistake? Sitting on a couch and judging! I remember seeing him at the Oracle in Oakland, best show I've ever seen! People should try living someone else's life to understand what they go through.
Lol, I could make an hour long film in my room using Legos, salami and wigs that could make more than $391 at the box office.. I mean if they gave me the opportunity...
He was funny for a moment and olny for a narrow audience: man-boys (who, literally, quickly outgrew him). Overall he really is not that funny to begin with, hence the "choke" before his SNL interview with Lorne, his short career and current absence anywhere. Still, he has some highlights he should be proud of...everybody has a comeback (especially in Hollywood).
There was no real downfall of Dane Cook. The guy is a legend who the industry seemed to intentionally seed and foster destruction. To whatever executive decided they didn't like and didn't want to see Dane Cook anymore- as if powers higher than you needed another reason, you're going to burn in hell
I really liked his frenetic energy on stage. The guy was a machine. What a perfect storm of BS he has had to endure. He needed better management form the start.
How about not projecting how you think comedy has moved on and just let us know about Dane Cook. We don’t need a lesson about what is allowed to be funny from Looper. Thanks.
The thing about the"inappropriate" joke, I think it's just because commentary on current events is not really what he's good at. Somehow I feel like Chris Rock or George Carlin could have made that joke work somehow.
I was never a huge fan, but I always liked Cook, regardless of some of the not so great things said about him. He seems like a good guy, but again, alot of not amazing things have been said about him.
ive always really disliked Dane Cook and his immature BS he called "stand up Comedy" in the early 2000s... But now that I seen he tried really hard to be taken seriously and tried taking on serious roles that all flopped... kinda hurts me for some reason. I even shed a tear or 2. Empathy is a blessing, and a curse.
I’ve only heard Louie talk about Dane and his thievery one time in 15 years and he didn’t even say his name. I don’t know how that could’ve possibly improved his own career by subtly trashing Dane once.
He sold out huge arenas. I don't understand how or why. Younger people were laughing. It's a business and he became last year's model at some point. He definitely is still working. But after being in several flop movies, he got overexposed like Pauly Shore and went from A list to C list. I would never count him out, he always will have some fan base from when he was huge 15 years ago. He is a decent actor, though leading roles may be out of reach now.
Back in my mid 20's, we had a dvd of a stand up special he did in the break room at the bank I used to work at, where he was on that circular stage. I iust remember him talking about that B and E and how he'd replace batteries on the control with weaker batteries. I thought it was funny.
… Bo Burnham had the best recent comedy special? We just going to pretend Dave Chapelle rock the world with his two blockbuster gut busters? Dane’s comedy style is perfectly fine in todays world. Just do what smart people do and ignore Twitter.
He literally groomed his fiancé since she was 15 years old . Did you not see who was in the the “ game night “ pictures . Seth green and Isaac kappy ? Yea Dan cook is exactly what you think he is . A Hollywood pedo . One of tbe people that got Isaac kappy killed
What do you think of Dane Cook?
I'm 36 so I was in school when he was big. I never thought he was funny I was glad to see him fade away
Till this day employee of the month is one of my favorite movies I’m 32
Will always enjoy his albums. Fame messes with people, and it is clear it messed with him, big time. I would have preferred that you had covered the WTF with the work he’s had done on his face.

Who the hell is Dane Cook?😬
Dane is hilarious. Hope he is living his best life and his career makes a comeback.
I have never ever had a reason to despise Dane Cook until after watching this video now knowing he is the reason this world is cursed with Jimmy Fallon… thanks a lot Dane.
Jimmy Fallon is the biggest turn coat ,dad joke rolling con that ever walked the earth 🌏
Fallon does suck.
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half ;) DC ftw!
I think what made Dane Cook's standup work for me were not the jokes per say, but the wild stories he'd create. He had so much energy and brought these scenarios to life, and the snippets of humor would be like sprinkles on top.
His body language when telling his stories were awesome
You described what made his jokes work for everyone lol

He'll always make me laugh, them stand ups and few good movies will always have me a fan of him.
His bit about everyone Hating on Karen is hilarious and timeless!
This video got one thing right Mystery Men was so so so so far ahead of it's time
I completely forgot about that movie. Time to throw it on!
Employee of The Month was my favorite classic movie.
I've said for a long time, "There's two kinds of comics: those with something to sell, and those who know how to sell it"--both can learn from each other, but Cook was definitely in the later category, and not so much the first. Lack of either will hurt your staying power.
I still think about his jokes to this day, makes me laugh randomly, miss the old days
$391 dollars at a box office!? Not even the crew went to see it.
Dane Cook was also in a Movie called 400 days in 2015 that was about a nasa crew in training who gets stuck on the moon and its a really good movie. i absolutely loved it.
Yes they mention it briefly. It earned $391.00 at the box office
@@cheeseisdelicious111 I never heard them mention it
Dane Cook to me is still amazing. He's hit some speed bumps but still I feel I'm a big fan. Employee of the month and Waiting are 2 of my favorites. Thanks for all you do Dane.
I always liked Dane Cook. That one standup at MSG was HILARIOUS! And Good Luck Chuck is a personal favorite of my teenage years 🥴
So you Dnt care that he is a blatant pedophile. Literally groomed a girl since she was 15 and got engaged to her .
He was a comedy icon at the time. People always have to hate on the people at the top.
Dane was hilarious. I wish he'd make a comeback!
dude, far from it
he does tiktok lives from his hot tub now xD
Employee of the Month is actually a great movie!
Just then you thought the world couldn't get any weirder, you learn that Dane Cook could've (indirectly) been hosting the Tonight Show instead of Fallon. If that isn't a trippy thought I don't know what is.
I highly doubt dc would ever have been considered to replace Leno.
@@jennyfab312 Fallon sucks
It’s such a shame we got Fallon. Dane has much more talent. The stage fright is a sign that he puts his all into it emotionally. Hope he gets another break
I love Employee Of The Month.
Ya, my son & I watch it all the time together
You released this video just a few days too soon! Wow!
I loved Dane cook back in the day I hope a comeback is soon
Apparently he has a big announcement on the 12th of Sept so let's hope
he was one of my favorite comedians when I was younger I still remember all the Halo videos where they would act out certain skits it was halarious.
The person answering that Jeopardy question should have did Dane Cook "UMMMMMMMM, what is EmBeZzLeMENT!?!?!"
I don’t care what anyone says he was never ever funny. Never once even got a chuckle out of me. And I love comedy and humor beyond belief. Ok I’m ready for the predictable “well let’s see you do better” or “he’s done more then you, what have you done?” Or “you’re just jealous” insults.

Lol he looks so weird now he’s like a completely different person lmfaoooooo
I loved employee of the month more than anyone can imagine.
Me too
You guys must have worked at c0stc0 😂 no hating tho that was an awesome movie. But I still think y'all probably worked at c0stc0 haha
He’s on TikTok and he’s killing it there
Not really
Is it still considered "alleged" if Louis C.K. admitted it and apologized for it? 🤔
He’s hilarious! I love him and his comedy
Do you love the fact that he groomed his fiancé since she was 15 years old while he was in his 40s . Open your eyes moron
I wish Dane Cook well in his future endeavors.
He’s a skinwalker lmfaoooooo
Fun fact, Andrew Dice Clay also sold out Madison Square Garden, twice.
Nice one, I was also going to write this
Funner fact, I was at one of those shows!
Right -Hopefully DICE doesn’t watch this, he’d be pissed.
@@RichardBarron_ why?
So have Eddie Murphy, George Carlin, Andrew Dice Clay, Chris Rock, Russell Peters, Dane Cook, Kevin Hart, Louis C.K., and Aziz Ansari
I guess I missed the meeting where we all "hated" Dane Cook... I don't know a single person who hated him. He had sold out arena stand-ups, and starred in some great movies (Waiting, Employee of the month). I miss Dane and hope he has a comeback!
I love Dan Cook ❤ I always laughed at his jokes and watched his movies 🍿 ❤
Dave happened to Dane when he told the crowd to meet him outside the laugh factory for a cigarette break and pictures 🤣
Those 2 comedy specials are top 10 of all time material.
Employee of the month. On my top ten movie favorites.
Horrible day, felt terrible, didn't move from bed all day, finally decided I was gonna cheer myself up with some old comedians I used to watch, type in Dane cook and proceed to nearly cry because nothing is sacred in this world. Everything just has to go to shit doesn't it.
Annoying, isn’t it. Everybody wants to make a buck off the next person.
Dane Cook Was Always Better In Movies Than His Stand Up
Other way around.
@@BTCBlizzy not at all
He had one classic special…
He sucked at both
loved him in Employee of the month, such an underrated comedy.
"This is an '81 Honda! How dare you!"
Man, this video came out mere days before he gets attention for proposing to his now fiance who was underage when they started dating.
I wondered if they'd mention it but i didn't know the timing of each
When he was popular, his wife was a toddler
I wasn't a huge fan, but he had some bits that have really stuck with me over the years.
He was never funny to begin with. At least not his movies. In employee of the month they should have just kept the camera on Jessica Simpson the whole time. She’s not a very good actor either but at least she was hot. Cook doesn’t even have that going for him.
Comedians are not meant to be hot and I don't think there ever was one that was
I had no idea he did so many movies. Was never a huge fan of his comedy but it wasn't all terrible. He's got a pretty good delivery and on stage presence, I just never really got into most of his material. To be fair he surprised me in Mr Brooks. He played a crazy MFer pretty good.

Crophopper when he discovered the “Special Fuel”
How he’s got creeper allegations going around lol
Never my favorite comedian, but never hated him. And I certainly felt horrible learning about his finances and family situation. No one deserves that.
He’s funny, but not the smartest person. He’s engaged to a 23 year old and has been dating her since she was 18 so that’s kinda creepy.
@@sessaruth don’t worry, she’ll be getting half his money in the not too distant future
Say what you will.. but “The waffler” was awesome tho.
During the Teen Choice Awards, he called out Vanessa Hudgens about her pics getting leaked. That just added more fuel to his downward spiral.
It's really weird I remember being at target YEARS ago and seeing the Dane cook Terminator looking special box set, and Vanessa hudgens album at the time right next to each other, that was back before the Internet got crazy too. I thought she was so hot
If Dane cook focuses on movies - he will do very well. He can do drama and comedy- but he would excel in action movies.
Lol
7:30 There is no way that number is accurate. $391 dollars means less than 40 movie tickets were sold worldwide...
No, it means they made their money back, plus 391 dollars profit.
@@starmc26 Ahh gotcha. duhh
That has happened before. I can't remember the movie but it sold less than 100 tix opening night
Dane Cook was the perfect comic at the perfect time and that time passed quickly. It happens.
I don't care what anyone thinks! This guy was and is an amazing comic! Has anyone made a mistake? Sitting on a couch and judging! I remember seeing him at the Oracle in Oakland, best show I've ever seen! People should try living someone else's life to understand what they go through.
Hang on! $351 at the box office!? WTF 😳
he threw too many 'PIZZA PARTIES'
Lol, I could make an hour long film in my room using Legos, salami and wigs that could make more than $391 at the box office.. I mean if they gave me the opportunity...
Do an independent release. It would be a fun experiment. Charge $3.91 to watch
You'd probably make at least twice the $391
Chris Rock and Kevin Hart have sold out Madison square garden.
He’s a warzone streamer on twitch now and I’ve even ran into him in a match before. HAHA!
He stood up to the fuked up system THATS IT!!! he carried on on his own made it an THEY HATED IT. SIMPLE they fucked him not him
Arlington Massachusetts represent! Lol

I really liked his frenetic energy on stage. The guy was a machine. What a perfect storm of BS he has had to endure. He needed better management form the start.
As I recall people either loved him or hated him. Not a sturdy jumping off point
He is 50 and loving it
Looks like he’s doing well from watching the impaulsive interview
Shhhhh let’s just be glad he quietly went away
I liked employee of the month
Dane Cook is the "poor man's" Ryan Reynolds.
Dude started grooming his girl when she was 16. Pretty creepy.
Dane stole all the jokes and so there was no more room for laughter
That's probably why there is a story where Dave Chappelle stole his audience once when he went and did a gig at the LaughFactory 🤣
Wow....... “400 Days” earned $391 at the box office? Not even a dollar a day! 🤔🤦🏻♂️
I am a fan of Bo Burnham and Dane Cook. Comedy is big enough for multiple sub-genres.
Employee Of The Month is very funny
No mention of his movie with Kate Hudson “my best friends girl”
I liked him in Dan in real life.
How about not projecting how you think comedy has moved on and just let us know about Dane Cook. We don’t need a lesson about what is allowed to be funny from Looper. Thanks.
"white" and energetic lol.
Yall said this like he moved to Brazil and went missing...
Why did you try to cut Dane down at the end? There was no need for that.
The thing about the"inappropriate" joke, I think it's just because commentary on current events is not really what he's good at. Somehow I feel like Chris Rock or George Carlin could have made that joke work somehow.
He was also in the planes movies.
I was never a huge fan, but I always liked Cook, regardless of some of the not so great things said about him. He seems like a good guy, but again, alot of not amazing things have been said about him.

💡Whatever Happened To Dane Cook? He wasn't funny.

I would never count him out, he always will have some fan base from when he was huge 15 years ago. He is a decent actor, though leading roles may be out of reach now.
What about my best friends girl? ? That's his best movie!!
I can't believe that The Waffler would do all these things.
Back in my mid 20's, we had a dvd of a stand up special he did in the break room at the bank I used to work at, where he was on that circular stage. I iust remember him talking about that B and E and how he'd replace batteries on the control with weaker batteries. I thought it was funny.
… Bo Burnham had the best recent comedy special? We just going to pretend Dave Chapelle rock the world with his two blockbuster gut busters? Dane’s comedy style is perfectly fine in todays world. Just do what smart people do and ignore Twitter.
Well it doesn't help that he keeps making bad judgement calls like dating a potential teenager.
He literally groomed his fiancé since she was 15 years old . Did you not see who was in the the “ game night “ pictures . Seth green and Isaac kappy ? Yea Dan cook is exactly what you think he is . A Hollywood pedo . One of tbe people that got Isaac kappy killed
His standup material was just OK, I liked his movies better.
Really wish he would have secured the role on SNL.
Employee of the month is a great movie
