Hilarious, Off-the-Wall Special

It's probably not very fair for me to write this review about Dane Cook's Comedy Central special since I've seen it about five times. It's a popular one for Comedy Central to show and is always at the top of the list whenever they have viewers choose countdowns for the best "Comedy Central Presents" specials. Even though I'm very familiar with the jokes, they still are pretty funny. I especially like the bits about the "finger" and how guys and girls view dance clubs. As Dane notes, "You'll never hear a guy go, 'Screw chicks tonight, bro! I gotta dance!!'"

Two of the bits that I personally didn't find too hilarious were the "Christ Chex" joke and going in a time machine to slap his dad when Dane was conceived. "I'm your son from the future! Hahahahaha!!!" The latter bit reminds me of something Bam Margera would do on the MTV show, "Jackass." I liked some parts of that show, but the stuff Bam did to his parents was pretty cruel and annoying. As for the "Christ Chex" bit, I'm just not too much of a religious person to really get involved in that joke. Just a difference of opinion.

All that aside though, this is one hilarious special! Nearly all his jokes and mannerisms had the audience and I laughing our heads off. Dane also makes the most use of the cameras and the audience that I've ever seen in any "Comedy Central Presents" special. He is hilarious to watch and is a one-of-a-kind comedian. Hopefully, some big things will happen in his career, and we'll hear much more from him.

My IMDb Rating: 9/10
