lol nice try buddy

Erik L. does NOT make more money than Dane Cook imo

wat

do you know how big a stake he has in ftp?

glad someone mentioned newhart.

So, since it is not possible to walk out of a Dane Cook show without Dane Cook actually being there, you have to just keep your mouth shut and smile if he calls you out in front of the whole crowd? Or sit thorough the whole thing regardless of your enjoyment level?

My assumption would be that Dane Cook called him out as a part of the show and he gets whatever he gets in response. He had to know that the answer wasn't going to be good, either "We are leaving because you suck" or "We are leaving because we have a huge, horrible emergency." If he cannot handle whatever the answer is then he should STFU and ignore the people leaving. And I don't think that Ericks response was particularly jerky.

To me hating Dane Cook is like hating Jonas Brothers or Twilight. Sure, I like Demetri Martin, Todd Barry and Mike Birbiglia better, but there's a big audience for Dane Cook-type material out there, he tapped into it, and as long as nobody's strapping me to a chair Clockwork Orange-style, all the power to him...

FYP

Story is funny if true, OP.

I've never heard of Dane Cook, Peter Cook though was ****ing funny. Also there are loads of great white comedians, Armando Iannucci, Jimmy Carr, Stewart Lee, Peter Kay, David Mitchell, Ricky Gervais, Paul Merton, Ross Noble etc.

This.

This isn't like trying to take down a heckler, where you have to do something to regain control of the performance. This is like trying to shoot a sleeping bear with a BB gun.

some of the responses in here are so ****ing bad i wanna puke. that being said, ****ing erick lindgren

Dane Cook = rich
Erick Lindgren = rich

Once a person is rich I could care less about a pissing contest over who's more rich.

I've seen good Dane Cook routines and I've seen bad ones. He's not completely unfunny.

they're bpth dbs. dane cook for calling them out and lindgren for yelling back. funny s**t tho

I would say there is a 90% chance Erick has/makes more money than Dane. It seems the people saying he doesn't don't have much knowledge about the poker world.

Also, I don't think Erick acts 'too cool'. He just doesn't take **** from anybody and does whatever he wants basically all the time. He doesn't do it in a "look at me I can do what I want" type way but in a "whatever the consequences, my time is worth more than this." He's a nice, funny guy, IMO. Dane Cook seems like a spineless moran.

John Caponera is a pretty funny white dude. I think Dane Cook has said some things that make me laugh but as a whole he isnt very funny.

The man in my avatar is the funniest comedian ever, and its really not debatable.

i enjoy Dane Cook's comedy

Isn't Dane Cook near broke thanks to his brother stealing all his cash?

Either way, I'd be that Lindgren has more assets than Cook.

Although, I'm sure Dane rakes it in with all the residual payments from Simon Sez. How did this guy not get any award noms!?

I don't know for sure obviously but if dane cooks brother (manager) ripped him off for 3 million and hoped he wouldn't notice im pretty sure dane has some bank.

That being said I don't find him funny at all. Maybe if you were a drunk college student. Who's ******ed.

it might have something to do with your location

Dane Cook isn't funny.
Dane Cook steals jokes.
The "hate Dane Cook" bandwagon has been huge since this fact was realized, or since you graduated high school.

The fact he blatantly steals jokes from less popular comedians and puts those jokes on his CDs which he pays 6 figures to market then tours on, while making his version worse is pathetic. I hope he is busto.

I know in a standoff it's rare someone will be a bigger douche than Dane Cook, but if you don't think Erick is the biggest douche here you're nuts imo.

Erick CHOOSES to go to a show of someone whom I'm sure he knows the standup of, then gets up early, decides to call out the performer in front of the entire audience, then feels the need to tell everyone he makes more money than he does? Out douching Cook is pretty impressive.

ive been hating on dane cook for close to 11 years now. (though ive ceased in recent years since everyone now realizes he is an unfunny dbag)
i also predicted his rise to fame and inevitable backlash 10 yrs ago. if somehow i could buy stock in such things

and now he is stealing g-p's lines!
keep braggin

Hasn't he seen anything by Dane Cook before? The man is the king of not being funny.

I still remember the worst joke I've ever heard from a Dane Cook special... it was something like:

"You ever just have a good cry? I mean... just ****ing crrrrrrrrrryyyyy... like sometimes I just ball up on the couch on crrrryyyy"

No punchline, no backstory... just ******ation

Dane cook was funny when he was a no name and first appeared on comedy central. His follow up albums and shows have been pathetic ever since. He's so forced and fake now. I can't stand him, but I give him credit for his original work.

I just tried to find "Comedy Central Presents Dane Cook" on you tube but there are only short clips. D/L it if you can find it, its the one where hes wearing a black wife beater - It's hysterical. Good luck getting through anything else though...

The stories I've seen have Cook's half-brother/manager embezzling $10 million plus which came to light after Cook decided to hire a new manager. And not that it should really matter, but anybody who ignores this in their silly "Lindgren>Cook because he has more money" argument deserves to be Madoffed themselves.
