We've had a few of these but I'd love to have a comprehensive discussion thread. I'll post some of my favorite clips in a bit. I've been trying to look in to the past a little and check out old school comics like Mort Sahl.

Been watching a bunch of Philips too. It's crazy how he can sneak in some real dark/edgy stuff in between the childish lilt and pageboy look.

If you haven't seen it already, try to find the clip of him talking about being given a personality test in school where he had to eat a chocolate bunny. I remember laughing very hard at that one.

I still use the radiation treatment one, here and there.

I must find this!!!!!

Also, I caught Ron White a few years back and remember being in tears at a few intervals. Of course, having a hometown crowd certainly didn't hurt things.

I'm pretty sure I've said this in earlier discussion of stand-up comics, but I actually find some of his stuff to be pretty funny. The problem with Dane Cook is his fans. When I hear his stuff I laugh at a fair bit of it, but I feel dirty because I feel like it associates me with those d-bag frat boys who go around quoting him constantly. In a vacuum I think Dane Cook isn't so bad.

+1

His first CD 'Harmful When Swallowed' is, IMO, incredibly funny. His stuff after that...not so much.
