That means you don't know much about stand-up. Half the stuff that Cook does is a take off of jokes from guys like Artie Lange and Jim Breuer. He's not nearly as bad as Carlos Menstealia for stealing jokes, but he's not far off. Still a thief.

How much you wanta bet me that Dane Cook has made twice the money Artie Lange and Jim Breuer has??? That tells me even if he stole it, it must be a hell of a lot funnier when he tells it...Three major movie appearances in one year??? Not many stand ups can top that...So i guess millions of others share my opinion on who is the funniest...

Maybe he has more money, but if you've listened/watched enough stand-up, you realize that some of the funniest dudes never make it huge and get all kinds of money. See Bill Hicks & Mitch Hedberg for instance.

Money does not equal funny. Cook could be in 52 movies, 1 a week for the next year, and I'll still tell you that he's not funny, and I just flat out don't respect him for stealing bits off of other comedians. He may be popular to the masses because he gets on stage and acts like a dumbass, but in terms of actual bits and jokes, he's not even a fraction as good as guys like Breuer, Lange, Pete Dominic, Dave Attel, Craig Shoemaker, Mitch Fatel...etc...I could keep going.

Mass appeal does not equal funny either...some of the funniest guys never make it mainstream. So the whole "other sheeple agree with me so it must be true" bit doesn't work. I'm talking about straight up funny, not who's popular.

And where are you supposed to have time to hunt up these other cats??? I ain't got that kinda time, So as far as something I can actually find out here in the real world, Without becoming obsessed with stand up (which I'm not)and hunting under every rock for these guys... I, along with most others are forced to listen/watch the ones that are available to the public...And are reasonably easy to find..I hate that for those that have never been discovered...I'm sure that there was a guy somewhere that could hit more homeruns than Barry Bonds, but he was forced to work in a factory to feed his baby he had in High School, So there for nobody ever saw him...I can't help that, nore can I see him playing against the BlueJays tonight...

The bit about who is "straight up funny, not popular" doesn't really work either....If they were that funny somebody would have found them by now, and they would be popular...You may think they are funny, however the masses, or talent scouts/agents, must not...How do you think Dane got popular???

It would be kinda like saying Thomas Jones is the best RB in the NFL..Although you may feal that way, the numbers say no, L.T. is...And there maybe new guys or undiscovered guys who are better, but right now L.T. is the man...Well right now the numbers, and the deals he is landing say Dane is the hottest Comic in the country, not opinion just fact

The guys he named aren't that hard to find. Breuer used to be on SNL. Attel had his own show on Comedy Central for years, which is still played today (I saw it on a few weeks ago). Shoemaker and Fatel have had specials run in the last month as well. Add Bob Marley, Carlin, Black, Reeb, Fransisco to that list that C.C. put up and you've got a pretty good list. Just because something is popular and it sales doesn't mean it's good. The Backstreet Boys, NSync and countless other worthless bands who's fame and popularity were spurned on by the lowest denominator in society (teenage girls) is a good example. Dane Cook can be funny, he just does the same joke 50 times a slightly different way. He's not that talented, he seems to appeal to people who want somethng mindless that they don't have to think about, and frat boys.
