Believe he got popular on MySpace with the ladies…


He was the first comedian to effectively use social media to promote his comedy.

I remember being in high school and downloading his bits on Limewire to burn to a CD.

100% I would know. I check everything at least monthly to see how it's doing.

Realize some investments don't come with monthly statement sheets.

And some investments can easily be faked.

Never thought he was funny nor entertaining. I always disliked him and questioned society for making him famous, but I kind of feel sorry him the way the world turned on him seemingly overnight.

no one ever really liked Dane Cook, Creed, Ben Affleck, or Nickelback which explains why they were all so famous.

Wiki says the stepbrother got 6 years in prison and 16 of probation. His wife got a lighter sentence. They were ordered to make restitution but didn't. They have disappeared.

Mr Brooks was a good movie and Dane did a great job. As for his “comedy”, it’s not my flavor but millions loved him.

His hatred started around the same time that people just decided they hated Nickelback and Creed.

His 30 minute standup on Comedy Central back in the day was one of the best ever. For me that was his peak, his douchiness took over once he got famous.

He is reported to still have a net worth of $35 million.


I believe that zero percent. People's net worth are highly. highly inflated online. Assuming he was smart with money I would guess he would currently be worth like $8-$10 million.

I liked Good Luck Chuck, Employee of the month, and Waiting. Your humor of playing a drunk college Chad eventually falls on def ears after you hit 40. Now in his 50's his schtick is cooked.

But I will throw a bone to his Employee of the Month movie. It’s pretty good.

Did he, though?

He was ok in Waiting as a background character and actually good in Employee of the Month. Other than that... not much...

Maybe that's why he had to get plastic surgery on the cheap in Instanbul.

Sort of like how he stole jokes from other comedians? That kind of stealing?
