To whom do I complain about Mad TV's offensive portrayal of Dane Cook?

laughing. Pick on the top comic of this generation just because he's

Shame on MadTV. Dane Cook is funnier than that whole cast put together.

Not really. You can actually find examples of Cook's work.
They are equally funny, however.

I kinda figure all of Brett's work is available online.
Flash Bazbo
True. The entire catalog of his work is right there on his website.
It's pretty convenient, when you think about it.

Dane Cook is a comedian wanna-be.

Dane cook (like him or not) is one of the biggest comedians today. He
sells out arenas while most cant sell out clubs. That doesn't make him
better, he just just more popular.
Dane IS funny, but as I heard, he steals material from Lewis CK.

Artie may have his moments. I've only seen one of his stand up shows.
He did some comedy and then has a therapy session on stage or
something like that. I was less than entertained. I saw him that thing
during the world series. Horrible. I remember him from Old School. Not
a bad performance but considering the size of the role, that's not
saying much. He seems to me to be a hack John Belushi with him
appearance and his gravelly voice.

He's pretty golden on the Howards Stern Show. I think Dane Cook would
suck on Howard Stern's crew.

The few times I have heard him on stern's show are what reminded me of
the hack John Belushi. He does an AWEFUL dice imitation. His voice
takes away from what might be considered funny. I know there are a
number of people who find him funny. I am not one of them. I'd
actually rather listen to Dane Cook past the 15 minute mark that I
can't seem to get past.

John Belushi was a hack? I disagree vehemently.

Dane Cook's funny. Don't let anyone tell you different. Artie's funny
too but he's a diffent vibe than Dane. Dane wouldn't mesh with Howard's
show at all. Too many jokes. Artie's got more of a.....real component to
him. He's got problems, he made bad choices, he talks about his life.
You won't see Dane open up like that.

I agree that Dane would not be funny on howard's show. I don't find
either Dane or Artie entertaining.

Dane's album sold more than Steve Martin's, so the proof is in the
pudding. Out of an hour, he might be worth 5 minutes chuckling.
People like Survivor and reality television too. It's useless to wade
against it.
And maybe there can be a discussion in which Bozo and Vince *don't*
attack each other like pre-menstruating school-girls.

Often he is not.
It's sad that this generation doesn't have what the previous ones did.
I mean, we ( baby boomers) had a TREASURE TROVE of the best comedy on
the planet. So, considering the field today and what there isn't to
choose from...Dane Cook can be kind of funny. He's pretty good
sometimes. Hated "Tourgasm". I do think the BK Lounge "It's on"
monologe is clever.
Sigh. I miss Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, Red Foxx and Flip Wilson.

What is with this "stop hating" crap?
Stupid people who don't read books, have rap ringtones on their cell
phones and watch "American Idol" think he's funny.
vr
Exactly.
eggn...@gmail.com
about this skit is that it's simply inaccurate. Sure, seeing Dane
typically adds a layer of funny to his act, but to suggest that this is
the sole reason he gets laughs is absurd. Cook is loved because he is
accesible, but primarily because he is intensely astute at making
social observations. Cook speaks of the friend nobody likes, the
oddball at work, and how people will stay in relationships just because
their CDs are in their significant other's trucks. These are excellent
stereotypes that 20 somethings and under can relate to.
The skit, like most Mad TV skits I've had the misfortune of watching,
seems rushed. It relies on the same gag for laughs, Dane's alleged
physicality being the punchline [quite ironically, it is revealing
itself to be exactly what it claims Dane to be, repetitive and cheap].
It does reference Dane's propensity for hyperbolic generalizations,
but the skit is incredibly inarticulate in this regard. They do
accurately parody one of Dane's bits, but the parody is based on the
setting and the actual content, as opposed to parodying the unique Dane
Cook formula for laughter. It falls flat because of this.
Also, they completely fail to mock one of Dane's most tired tendencies,
where he will either abbreviate or turn a word into an acronym.
All in all, Mad TV barely manages to even make fun of Cook. The best
part of the skit is that the actor is great with his facial expressions
and looks similar to him. Nonetheless, the writing is weak, and like
almost every MadTv skit ever, mediocre.
