Comments on: Comedian Dane Cook a joke thief, ‘hack’ http://collegian.csufresno.edu/2008/09/19/comedian-dane-cook-a-joke-thief-%e2%80%98hack%e2%80%99/ Serving California State University, Fresno since 1922.

The author had an opinion and expressed it. She did not miss anything. This is in response to Keith: Sure Dane Cook may be successful, but measuring his worth by how much money he makes and by how many seats he can sell is a dangerous benchmark. As the rapper Immortal Technique put it, "If you go platinum it's got nothin' to do with luck / it just means that a million people are stupid as f***." In that same vein, Fox News is the most watched network in the U.S. - does this mean we should give it credit? Dane Cook may be bringing smiles to the faces of thousands, but how exactly is enriching their lives? He is just setting a standard of mediocrity that if I may be so bold, holding people back from realizing what true comedy is. "Dulling the Mind's of America's Youth" - that'd be my headline for a Dane Cook piece. This is an opinion piece. The author had an opinion and expressed it. She did not miss anything.

P.s I don't like to think to much about comedy I really just like loud noises and shouting. Yeah and the thing about Carlos Mencia is that he is an amazing comedian as well.

It matches perfectly to your smug tone. (As a side note attacking someones picture is very spiteful and extremely irrelevant. In summary there is a certain amount of irony in what you say.)

If her intent was to whine about how much she hates that "disgusting, fat-face" Dane Cook (like some juvenile would on her MySpace page) then she was spot-on. I find it hard to believe that it was even published. If Miss Dugan was attempting to write an interesting, journalistic piece on the decline of the state of comedy, She missed entirely.

I do not agree with them but that is why this country is great. I am not a "super fan" I do appreciate Dane he makes people laugh, in these time isn't that what's important. If you do not agree with it that is fine but don't rip him apart because he "stole" jokes who doesn't. I would guarantee you have told a joke that you have heard somewhere. If people do not retell jokes the world would never hear them. To the author of the piece i appreciate your opinion and your views. I do not agree with them but that is why this country is great.

If all stand-up comics were the same I doubt we would find ANY of them funny. I am not a "super fan", I am a fan of comedy. I collect comedy. If Dane Cook wants to put his own spin on an old joke and make it his own, I can appreciate that. His delivery is refreshing and his use of vocabulary is inspiring. Comedy is an art, lest we all forget. I am greatful for any comic who has the courage to even get on stage and try and make this world a happier place. To Dane Cook and any other stand-up comic made or struggling out there who finds themselves on this site, you are good enough because there's only one of you. We all have something unique and wonderful to share with the world. If you can't appreciate that, then you should reevaluate your own position in life and stop trying to tear people down to your level.

I just saw Dane Cook for the first timelast night in Denver and I was sooooooooo disappointed. For $100 for a ticket I would expect something hilarious and more than an hour long!!! I thought the opening comedians were 100 times more talented and actually funny. What a waste! I totally agree with this article.
