Why did people hate Dane Cook and not Schumer?

0  2016-01-19 by KingTutsstache

I'm not talking about this god forsaken sub but the public. Comics shit on Dane for stealing, being corny, not being funny and most fans were done with him after his second album. But Schumer, despite being on the same comedic level as Dane, if not worse, is given a pass. I know the fatties and feminists love her, but why does the public not her like Dane?

Dane was disliked by comics because when he was rising he was doing material that was pretty alternative. Not really set up and punchlines just an original character and cadence. Most of the comics hated him because they were jealous and thought they deserved what he had.

Dane Cook just like any character just became a thing to goof on after a while.

Amy is a woman, a feminist, she claims to have a movement and a message to her work, while Dane was just being a comic and making people laugh. Real comedy fans never liked Schumer but the public eats her shit up

The public will always love the lowest level of an artform, thats why you get the blue collar comedy tour, amy schumer, Aziz. The majority of people who pay to go see comedy shows are people who know nothing about the art of standup, there lies the problem.

Aziz is actually pretty good, especially considering he's only in his early 30's. He's not Stanhope but his recorded sets are arguably better than anything Bobby Kelly or Vos have put out, and I'd argue he doesn't belong in a "lowest level" list with Schumer. Sure he's been given extra opportunities for political reasons, but he's used those opportunities to put out some pretty good standup.

You can have that opinion sir but I'd argue that all day so I guess its just different strokes.

That's fair enough. I was expecting to dislike his specials but they pleasantly surprised me, and then I love Bobby Kelly but don't think he has ever recorded a good set. Aziz's young fans might not know the difference between good and bad comedy, but his sets are decent.

If you want some real shit lowest level (and sadly, commercially successful) standup then Iliza Shlesinger is your girl.

We can't compare men's comedy to women's comedy its not fair

I've seen Dane at the Laugh Factory in LA a few times recently and he's really good. Took a piss next to him in the bathroom. He's humble.

I don't find him that funny but I'd never deny that he's a great comic. He invented his own thing and ran with it and kept going, he's definitely a real comic just not my taste.

He's not really that flamboyant MSG stage persona anymore. Just a normal comic who tells good jokes in a funny way.

That's good to hear, I never did see his last special so I don't really know. Would never say he's a bad comic though, all the people who say that shit are just dummies.

Dane is a white male, while Schumer is a fat cunt.

Danes break and enter bit made 15 year old me laugh as hard as I ever have laughed

Only part I remember is the humpback whale, but it was funny.

Give it a minute.

if you were to ask the general public, I feel as though they'd like dane. it seems he is well liked by those who don't follow comedy much

they will

Dane Cook was a good looking rich white hipster with a douche bag persona. It was cool to hate on him. It was fun.

Amy is a fat white liberal woman who people are calling an inspiration to fat white women who is new to the Hollywood scene and scorching hot in the industry. Anyone who publicly comes out against her right now is going to have to deal with the inevitable backlash. Especially if its a male. Just look at the kid from twitter. She has said 100x more ridiculous things about herself and she decided to sick her fan base on this 17 year old kid and he's probably afraid for his life. You'll hear all of the usual bullshit; that people are going after her because she is a woman. Misogyny. Sexism. Male Privilege. The Patriarchy etc.

She'll eventually burn out in the industry after she run her mouth too much. Jennifer Lawrence will lose her number right afterwards. Like supporters of Lena Dunham, you'll always have idiots who will support these people no matter what dumb and ridiculous shit they'll say in public. I'm interesting in seeing how well Dunham does in the industry after her HBO show ends.

Only part I remember is the humpback whale, but it was funny.
