Someone Tells You How Much Dane Cook's New Album Sucks. In 2,600 Words.

Click pic for the review.


"Cook’s jokes are almost exclusively based on funny sounding words. He’s obviously well researched in the linguistics of his trailing generation. He’s a 35-year-old who talks like he’s about to flunk the seventh grade for the fourth time. Kicking off Rough Around the Edges is a rousing tale of his father teasing the seven Cook children about a visit to “Benson’s Animal Farm” (a bit the commentary reveals was written some 15 years ago). One of the jokes for that story was that Cook used to say “skiddly-do” during jubilant childhood moments. “Skiddly-do” is a nothing piece of idiocy, the same thing as “bukka-bukka” or “woozle-wuzzle”, forgotten faster than the I Didn’t Do It boy. The fact that he uses words like “chief” and “gaylord” are also jokes. So all you need is a slang thesaurus or access to UrbanDictionary.com and you can write your own Cook routines ad nauseam."
