I hate to jump in a thread just to bash the subject, but man oh man Dane Cook is just that unfunny. I simply cannot fathom his popularity. I mean, I understand that he is just about the hardest working man in stand-up comedy and really innovative in his marketing, in that he was one of the first comedians to really exploit the internet.

But.

That man is completely, utterly, and exhaustingly not funny. What am I missing?

P.S. Joss Whedon commented on his DVD commentary for Serenity that he likes to cast comedians in serious roles because the hardest acting is comedic acting, and if you can master that you can do anything. It's certainly possible Cook can one day become a serious actor, and he obviously has charisma. But he's monumentally not funny and his movies so far have been the most embarrassing pieces of Hollywood drek.
