He makes me laugh
Handsomely rugged, smart, great sense of humor, equipped with a large vocabulary, and charming are all excellent qualities for any man to possess. When I recently heard a recording by standup comedian Dane Cook from a CD called “Retaliation: Want,” I immediately found myself laughing along to many of the witty one-liners and clever anecdotes and wishing to meet him in person.
His frantic pace and unexpected randomness keeps listeners on their toes as they anxiously anticipate his next creative and wildly outrageous thought. In addition to this is his excellent use of vocabulary. His ability to sprinkle in large and interesting vocab words elevate his humor to a more sophisticated level, and it also makes me realize that although Cook’s humor may be crude at times, he actually is a rather intelligent man.
His storytelling skills rival those of Aesop’s, and his wild imagination can keep you giggling for hours after hearing him. After all, who wouldn’t crack up at the thought of a bunch of friends being tossed around in the back of a cement mixer?
Cook’s comedy is all over the place, and though there isn’t much of a connecting thread between jokes, comprehension remains at an all-time high. From hearing about Cook’s dream pet (an armor-clad monkey) to his dream house (a mystery house, fully equipped with secret laboratories and trap doors leading to a swamp three miles away) you get a wide variety of ideas and funny comments which keep you smiling constantly.
Great for summer laughs and that wonderful rest and relaxation after a tough week of finals, I highly recommend listening to Cook’s comedic masterpieces.
