When i first heard him, i thought he was hilarious. The more i listen to his stuff though, i think he is repetitive and boring with all his stupid movements and such. It doesn't matter though, he's rich and famous, i doubt he cares about my opinion ;D. I would say 95% of his audience is college kids who think he is "clever".

LOL, i've never been high, although i took a vicodin by accident once. His material isn't really funny, but i think his delivery of it annoys me even more. I first hear him in 04, when i was in college and everyone thought he was the second coming. I guess it was peer pressure. :'(

I recently saw a small part of his act on TV.  The audience was going crazy over the corniest stuff. ................like Emeril's audience when he "adds a little gahlic"   :-\

From what I've seen, he's totally unoriginal.  It's as if someone ground up and homogenized all the standup out there and reformed it into a composite act, so it's like watching some sort of standup conduit or comedy-bot.  'The comedian who wasn't there.'  There's no edge, just McLaughs.

He started out good but lost his magic when he became a 'moviestar'.

 He seems to rely on crazy expressions and flayling arm movements, dont get why he is funny.

 Daniel Tosh is hilarious i think, dont really care for his new show but his standup is great. google him

  I find him to be as funny as a hysterectomy.

first time i watched him i thought he was funny enough to watch again

i watched that special not long ago on comedy central where dane cook made a surprise appearance in a comedy club and they showed it without commercial interruption, i didn't laugh once.
