Dane Cook

So I watched Dane Cook's new HBO special the other night, Vicious Circle. Don't get me wrong, I respect the hell out of the guy, but he is coasting right now. I didn't make it through the whole special. Every premise of every joke I saw was so weak and the delivery was so hacky. It was as if he thought he could just do whatever he wanted up there and he would get laughs and thunderous applause. Turns out he was right. But the audience at my house (i.e. me, my dog and my wife who was asleep) was not impressed. It was disappointing, but not surprising. I just hope David Cross never gets stadium audiences and a show about him and a couple of other comics on a college tour.
