A: Because that is the only funny part of my hour and half comedy special.
(as in i don't like my women's cash and prizes to resemble this ->
Dane Cook is a comedian that thanks to Ichabod we have all been "following" for a number of years now, and i was curious to see his behind the scenes stuff from Tourgasm (the Cubano, Backdraft, and I went to one of his shows) and while there was a couple good laughs it basically was four dudes bickering like women. but later i read that his new comedy special on HBO would be about 90% new material and i was roped again. After viewing it last night i have to admit i chuckeled a couple times but the funniest stuff was still his old material he broke into the last five minutes. So as far as a review goes, it gets a good solid "ehh"
But it brings me to another point, being funny is a damned hard thing to do. Basically when you first see a comedian they have worked on something for way too many years, and that if you go to one show and enjoy it then you should attempt to never see anything else of theirs for at least another five years. I think i frist learned this lesson from Mike Meyers. he had some funny stuffs in So I married an Axe Murder, and it was trully depressing to find out later most of it was recycled from old SNL skits. Another case is Ron "Tater Salad" White, he completely stole the show from the first Blue Collar Tour, but if you see any of his solo skits the only parts that are funny are rehashed...
i could continue to make more examples and points...but i have lost interest. you get the idea
peace out
