But I'm not going to talk about her.
It's been done.
And overdone.
I just want to know one thing.
Why does everyone treat Dane Cook like he's a comedy god?
I can name a whole list of other comics who are ten times funnier.
To Wit:
Paula Poundstone
Robin Williams
Ellen Degeneres
Eddie Izzard
Kathleen Madigan
George Carlin
Stephen Wright
Kathy Griffin
David Cross
Maria Bamford
Ron White
Bill Maher
Those are just off the top of my head.
It's so obvious, too, that Dane Cook buys into this comedy-god thing. He prances about the stage, ultra aware of himself, too confident, too cocky, while delivering banter that is no funnier than slipping on a banana peel. I get it that he's cute and all, but cute isn't synonymous with funny. So how did he reach the status he enjoys?
I have no idea.
But I'd like to see those honors given to comics who are actually funny.
