If you guessed Dane Cook, you’d definitely be right.
We haven’t talked about Dane on the site for almost an entire year, and the post that day was only written in order to mock his weird mid-ab wrinkle, so I guess it’s high time we bring out the Dane Cook-bashing manacles and chain this bitch to the f-cking wall.
If you guys forgot, you know, that there was a mass shooting last week in Colorado, so now would be the *perfect* time to start cracking jokes about shooting and guns and the Batman movie at large, right? If you’re Dane Cook, you’d probably think so. Here’s what Dane had to say during a performance at the Laugh Factory last night:
“So I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into the movie … And I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie, but the movie is pretty much a piece of crap … yeah, spoiler alert. I know that if none of that would have happened, pretty sure that somebody in that theater, about 25 minutes in, realizing it was a piece of crap, was probably like ‘ugh f*cking shoot me.’”
What do you guys think of the joke—just like Cook himself, is it stupid and unfunny and inappropriate not-in-the-cute-way?
May I paraphrase the Bible here?…”the words out of your mouth will condemn you.” Bye, Bye, Dane, you refugee from a frat-house hazing.
I laughed.
It’s in bad taste, but it’s funny. His entire career is built on being a beefcake douchebag. Hardly worthy of a headline.
“Beefcake douchebag” might be the best Dane Cook-descriptor I’ve ever heard, seriously.
You should hire me. I do weekends.
This is how comedy works. Either you make fun of everything or you make fun of nothing. You can’t brand certain topics off-limits to joke about. Yes, his joke wasn’t the best, but his jokes never are.
“Either you make fun of everything or you make fun of nothing.” Who made up that rule? I feel like there are other possible options…
Really-when did comedy become an ultimatum? You can make jokes about things, but how about not making jokes about tragedies that people are still mourning over?
It’s so fucking easy to make “”””””comedy””””” when the punchline are the weakest people of our society. Victims of violent crimes, rape victims, etc. Haha oh so fun.
It should have been clever and funny if he was going to do it, and it was neither.
Im not one to shy away from close-to-the-bone jokes but the fact that this is not even remotely funny just makes him sound like a dick.
There wasn’t even anything clever about it either. It was just a pathetic fail. He probably only chose that as a topic because it’s the only way his joke would be shared around. That’s pretty desperate.
