So as some of you may know, my strategy for making it as a comic is to start a rumor that I've been sleeping with Dane Cook. I have a comedy set that I like to perform in social settings called my "I fucked Dane Cook last night" jokes. This always works because if the people I'm telling this to don't know me at all they might believe me or think I'm crazy, either of which is entertaining for me, but if it's people who do know me hopefully very intimately as many do, the absurdity (which in my life means probablilty) of me hooking up with DANE COOK (the graphics and dialogue that me and Dane Cook might have in intimacy) is equally entertaining for all involved. So basically, if you ever hear anyone mention Dane Cook in passing, it's up to you to say, "Oh my, I heard that he's been caught sleeping around with Jessica Sele. You haven't heard of her? Oh she's a comedian. Yeah I think they have a sex tape circulating."
Well anyway, sometimes people ask me what my opinion on Dane Cook is and I say "don't have one." I've heard sometimes he's offensive. I don't know. Haven't seen enough of his stuff. No comments at this time. I think he's one of those people who are successful and easy for everyone to hate. I might hate him too if we didn't have freaky comedian sex all the time. Other than that, I cannot say.
EXCEPT THAT I am a little fascinated with Daddy Big Cookie's (as I call him in our throws of passion) commentary in next clip. It's interesting because I have a couple slightly funny jokes about people who say "that's so gay." I was meaning to write some jokes about overhearing people say things like "Oh man, I just raped that test." Then my friend sent me this:
Apparently I must have mentioned some thoughts I had about my set to Dane Cook while we were spooning...
A lot of comics have talked about the stigma and use of words in our society. The most famous of course being George Carlin. Then of course there's Dave Chappelle's take on the n-word (no I don't use the word. why? buy me a beer and I'll tell you why I find it unneccessarry). The most interesting bit on the n-word to me is in this clip of Richard Pryor. It's interesting because he was famous for the way he overused the word previously to this. I admire his bravery to continuously check what it was that he was saying. Richard Pryor was constantly thinking and evolving as true artists should. HELLO.
At any rate I would like to say that I'm pleasantly surprised with Dane Cook's commentary on the casual use of the word rape in our society. It seems to me that Mr. Mainstream might actually have some thoughts or critiques of mainstream society. So now when people ask me what I think of him and isn't he a sell out idiot, I'll have something to say in addition to my tales of our copulation which is "I don't think he's as much of an idiot as other people think. Maybe." Then again, I probably have lower standards than I should of what constitutes as smart comedy or good men. Sometimes I think I just try to make hey look like needles because I'm sick of looking... for real needles... in hey stacks... This to me is where, "Hey, at least he's not telling rape jokes!" meets "Hey at least he's not a rapist!" for many.
right.
Also, FYI, this bit has always cheered me up when I'm pretty desperately depressed, which is the best thing about comedy:
Also, Sorry my posts are so weird.
Actually, I'm not sorry.
Sorry.
