there's two type of comics generally, the story guys and the quick ones. some guys go on a 15 min + rant on one topic with about 20 jokes within it, some guys go from "line to line" talking about various things here and there but making it flow, and making it work. either kind is alright with me, i cant really even think of a "popular" comic that i dont like (aside from Dice, like i said before) actually no, i cant stand carlos mencia

agreed 100%. I think a lot of his material has been done before but his energy is what really made him stand out from other comics.

I can see where the Reagan comparison comes from though, when dane tells a joke that involves a bit of explaining he delivers a little bit like Reagan does.

I listened to both Dane Cook's "Retaliation" album and some of Steven Wright's work...  I think Dane gets by because of the exact reasons Mikey says - high energy delivery, good personality, VERY good looking for a comedian, but weak material.Wright I don't get AT ALL. Notice - a lot of Dane's fans are young, college age girls.  When do you ever see a comedian with that kind of fan base?

This caller who says Jews are being anti-christian because movies have persons who say "Jesus Christ" in them is a moron.  Do you hear me?  You're a moron.Christians use "Jesus Christ" as a swear word every day.  Showing that in movies merely reflects what people do.  I love when white people point out alleged reverse discrimination to try and justify their own discrimination.

no, that's what he wants you to think. The fact is he sensationalized everything to the point of absurdity. I'm sorry I saw Jesus get nailed to a cross in a movie a long time ago, using jello as blood. I was nearly traumatized. I grew up catholic, I was in a catholic high school, and I went to church as regularly as anyone could. Till I hit college... :) Now I'm a Pagan Catholic and I feel a lot better about life.

Well I am basing his true colors purely on his hate speech to the police. Like you said I couldnt judge whether or not I think the passion is anti-semite without seeing it. If it is just like the new testament says I wouldnt consider it anti-semitic at all.... Basically that would be saying that the christian religion is anti-semitic as a whole. I dont buy that. A LOT of support for israel comes from christian people.

that was a general statement I should have clarified and not direct at you. I did have a mother tell me all the scenes I should have gone to see, and by her description and reading what was done in the movie and how it was done, yes, I can say what I will say. I will not perport it to be fact. It is pure opinion.

Anyway, i wanna kick ESD in the balls for his suggestion on a costume change. They changed it that exact way for a series and then switched it back because it didn't sell.
