Dane Cook: Dane Cook is an American standup comedian and film actor. As a standup comedian, he has a distinct style which can be likened to long-form story telling interspersed with multi meaning phrases, all delivered with a casual attitude. He credits his parents for his humorous side, inheriting from them eloquence and the ability to talk convincingly on anything. All he wants is to make the audience laugh and would go to any extent to do so. He could be funny, corny, and vulgar or just blabber like a retard, as long as it elicits laughter from the audience. Despite his popularity, many critics have come down heavily on him. They say that his humor is superficial, does not have any substance and even if it makes people laugh, it’s not really funny. They say that he is overrated and boringly predictictable. There have been allegations of plagiarism against him too, which have largely been ignored by him. Recently, he was embroiled in a controversy when he pulled out of a fundraiser for the victims of Boston Marathon attacks. Notwithstanding all the criticism, he is considered a tremendous performer with a large fan base.
