I really dislike Dane Cook. Sure, I'll laugh at some of his jokes but every time I see one I have to question whither or not they're actually his jokes.
Cook does steal some jokes (blatantly from CK Louis), and sometimes his monologues are just retarded. It is his physical comedy that often brings the laughs. Someone summed it up well when they said Cook is more of a clown than a comedien. A clown will do anything for a laugh. A comedien will tell his jokes, do his material; if you don't like him, then fuck you. That's my view at least. However, I do still enjoy Cook. I saw him live and had a good time.
As for TRUE HACKS, don't even get me started on Carlos Mencia aka "Menstealia" aka Ned Holness (his real name). Not only does this guy steal tons of jokes, he is half HONDURIAN, and HALF GERMAN and makes his living doing MEXICAN jokes ("beaner").
If any of you keep up with this kind of stuff you know that Joe Rogan completely blasted Mencia and outed him for being a joke thief while at the Comedy Store in LA. Rogan said out loud what every comedien has talking about behind closed doors for years - Mencia is a hack. Supposedly they have signals between comediens to let each other know when Mencia is around, and some even refuse to perform when he is around because they feel their material may be stolen. Mencia even got beat up by George Lopez for supposedly lifting a huge portion of his act as well. Rogan got banned from the Comedy Store, since right now Mencia is a big draw, and Mencia told the owner that he felt "physically threatened" by Rogan.
if you haven't seen it, enjoy watching Mencia look like a blubbering idiot as he is exposed by Rogan:

I think it is ironic that Menstealia keep calling Rogan "a little bitch"....if they ever got in a physical confrontation...let's just say it wouldn't be pretty.
Tale of the Tape:
Rogan: Has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do; Was the Massachusetts Full Contact Tae Kwon Do champion four consecutive times; At the age of 19, he won the US Open Tae Kwon Do Championship and, as the lightweight champ, went on beat both the middle and heavy weight title holders to take home the Grand Championship. Rogan also has a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Mencia aka Ned Holness: fat fake mexican

Before seeing his stand-up act, I thought Rogan was a useless meathead (when he was the host of Fear Factor). Now, I see him as one of the funniest, most original guys in the game. He is strongly against joke stealing, which is admirable. He is also fond of psychedelics, and has spoken openly and intelligently about his use of mushrooms, weed, and DMT.
"The comics I hate are thieves. Nothing's more disgusting than a guy who steals another person's ideas and tries to claim them as his own. Stand-up comedy is supposed to be "Here's the world through my eyes." It's supposed to be your observations, your thoughts and views on life. When you snatch little pieces of other people's lives and try to palm them off as your own, that's more disgusting than anything. Robin Williams is a huge thief. Denis Leary is a huge thief. His whole stand-up career is based on Bill Hicks, a brilliant guy who died years ago." - Joe Rogan, who has gone on to attack other "thieves" such as Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia.
