In a move certain to draw hordes of people to the service, Microsoft has announced their latest "Game with Fame" promotion. This coming weekend, players of Modern Warfare 2 will have the opportunity to play the game with none other than Dane Cook.
I'll give you a moment to get over your excitement. We ready? Good?
So, I'm just going to put this out there and see what you all think. I don't want to play a game with someone who even casually entertains the thought of Dane Cook being funny and/or someone they would like to spend ten minutes talking to. So, it's my suggestion that we all just stay off of Xbox Live entirely during the hours of 7 - 9pm (PST) on December 27th. You know, just to be safe.

But I don't play MW2 multuplayer, so I guess it doesn't really matter.
Actually, Itd be neat to whoop his unfunny ass and hear him bitch about it like everyone else on xbl. Oh wait, I retract that statement.
I did not.
I did however see him live at the comedy store a few years ago. Funniest part was him ripping into some stupid heckler and the other comics that were on before him.
Dane Cook.
Also, cocks
Also, Good Luck Chuck was a terrible movie, made entirely for the purpose of having Dane nail hot chicks on film. There was a surprising amount of on-screen fucking for a somewhat mainstream movie.
Sadness. Dickheads win the day again.
don't have a reason to hate him...
I want to play MW2 with Robin Williams.
i find him to arrogant to be funny myself. i think his ego is bigger than his comedy.
also, i bet his clan tag is BAMF (see his joke about buying a cement mixer) and he'll make a joke about who shit on the coats?!!?!???
But for me to be mad at someone over an opinion on the internet would be childish!
<3
The only time I ever really disliked him was during Isolated Incident when he told the story of the guys who apologized for being a dick to him and Dane (allegedly) was just a bigger dick in retaliation. But I got over it. I just think he's unfunny. I have nothing against him.
It's basically the middle finger.
He decided that the middle finger is too thin to be noticed from a distance. So he made up the su-fi gesture.
I thought he used to be very funny, but I havent heard any of his recent stuff.
Also, i wish a panda rape him. That would make him more humble.
For anybody who USED to like Dane Cook, check out his ISolated INcident special. It was him in a club doing real stand up. No squealing girlies, no mugging for the camera, just a solid hour of good stand up. Good special.
Also, @HiddenAHB, It'll cost you, also, he has to be knocked out and I'll need enough alcohol to be borderline poisoned.
I think the hand thing is suppose to be double middle fingers like "double fuck you".
Granted he's no Demitri Martin, Christopher Titus or Nick Swardson, but he's not really bad. He's not dying of laughter hilarious, but I find him entertaining.
Everyone just hates him because of the fanbase and his popularity. If you just treat him as another comic, he's just as funny as any other generic comic.
AH-AH-AH-AH SHWERP SHWERP SHWERP. And I'm all like "Woh dude...just playing a gaayyyyyyyyyy-me" *SU-FI*
