I recently watched Dane Cook's HBO special 'Vicious Circle'. I honestly wasnt that impressed with his humor. Don't get me wrong, some of his jokes were great, and I definitely laughed a couple times. He was very animated as well which, I thought, was the funniest part. Watching him imitate a female masturbating makes the whole special worth watching.
Some of his stories I thought dragged on, sometimes leading to other funny side jokes, and other times leading to unfunny slow moments. Of course you can't always hit homeruns.
One thing I admire about Dane Cook is his ability to blow up to the scale he has. There aren't a lot of comedians out there that can fill a stadium of that size, stand in the middle, and do their routine leaving everyone satisfied. You have to admire his obvious effort towards perfecting his own art, and for all that hard work paying off.
So in conclusion, I'm gonna give this one to Pete, cause he was listening to Dane Cook before everyone I know. He was the one trying to convince me that he was funny. Granted he isnt the funniest out there (in my opinion), but he is good at what he does. I've never been one for comedy CDs, so I can't help him out that way, but I would watch another special if it took place. Watching him stomp around the stage is all it takes for me to crack up.
For those of you keeping score thats Pete 1, Nick 563.

What about all the horrible points pete made? Those should be counted as negative points for sure.
Plus I think you truly underestimated the number of points you have. Pretty much anytime you and Pete said Hi to each other it was a point for you. Try to make a more accurate count of points next time.
Deal or No-Deal....Watch it, its so funny watching people lose
Yeah Deal or No-Deal definitely has its funny moments, especially the fact that Howie Mandel is famous for it.
But like all game shows, it does get repetitive and boring.
Although if I was on that show, I'd take the bankers first offer to make it even more boring for the viewers.
Stand-up comics aren't funny unless they are stand-up comics in their own sitcoms (Seinfeld) or movies (Martin Lawrence) or if they are Dana Carvey or Chris Rock.
Howie Mandel is great... Walk Like a Man, Bobby's World, and now a game show? Brilliant! If I was on that show, my case would be #24. Since the numbers only go up to 26, my first six picks for cases to be opened would be 31, 0, negative 8, 5, and 349. As the show progressed, it would seem as though I was doing quite well, but then I would end up settling for the case I chose at the beginning. Once opened, it would reveal $.01. I would promptly pull down my pants, raise my hands in the air, yell "yes!" and pee on the stage.
