TIL Dane Cook holds the record for the longest set at the Laugh Factory at 7 hours and 34 minutes on January 2, 2008.
But was any of it actually funny?
I'll take 11 minutes of Bill Burr roasting the entire city of Philadelphia over 7 hours of Dane Cook any day.
32Weird that you think it’s an either/or situation but thanks for your input
7That's what your said mom said too
5Weird that you think me literally stating my preference for 1 thing over another thing is anything BUT an either/or situation.

Set... That's a strange way to pronounce "coke fueled rant"
13I always heard he was more of a fan of speed, which explains why he didn't have to stop his set every 15min to have another line.
2I only assumed. This makes sense.

7 hours, 34 minutes, and 3 laughs.
11That many? Was one of them when he said he was planning to be there for that long and people thought it was a joke?

Looks like he did it to break Chappelle’s record. That might displeased me at that time. Not so much now.
11Even his latest special is pretty good. Never understand the mass hate with his huge popularity, but I guess that’s what comes with the crazy popularity.
10I only ever saw 1 special but it was funny back then. He was good in Waiting as well.
14Me too, happened to catch him at a club a little before he blew up and I remember laughing my ass off…can’t vouch for anything he’s done since tho, it’s def possible his act didn’t age well so grain of salt

I think a lot of it was just that his humor was very much of its own time. That sort of early 2010s style of comedy hasn't aged too well.
Haven't seen his new stuff, though. Honestly didn't even know he was still in the comedy scene at all, might have to give it a watch!
7He pioneered the way standups get theirselves out there today. In the days of MySpace. Everyone thought he was out of his mind while he was doing it too.

Even when I thought Dane Cook was funny 20 years ago (even saw him in Maryland) I don’t think I could take more than an hour of it lol
9I actually still find Dane Cook's stand up funny, which I know is not a popular opinion on the internet. But I still think anything longer than 60 minutes - MAYBE 90 minutes - would be excruciating.

easy when you just steal everyone else’s jokes.
7Wow, that sounds awful lol
6His humor was (is? I haven't seen any recent stuff by him) so big I can't imagine seeing it for so long. Exhausting
3I was stuck in a car on a trip with a guy who really liked Dane Cook. He kept saying stuff like Aw Man you gotta listen to this part right here, this is some funny shit right here. Terrible.
2Have you ever really set down and examined your life to figure out what you've done to deserve this?
