First off, Dane Cook is a tool.
Listening to Dane Cook comedy is the equivalent of listening to the Backstreet Boys or Souljah Boy......face it, you're a grown man and enjoy the same entertainment as a 14 year old girl who loves Abercrombie and Fitch and has a Justin Timberlake poster on her wall.
:anon.sml:
You have to admit....that's a little f'd up.
Take this guy's advice....these guys rock....This guy is a fan of real stand-up comedy. Excellent list.
Mix in a little Dave Attell, Joe Rogan, Doug Stanhope, Greg Giraldo, Lewis Black, Mike Birbiglia, Nick Swardson, and mix in some classic stuff like some other suggested like Bill Hicks, Carlin, Pryor, Lenny Bruce.....
Yeah, I know....Joe Rogan hosted Fear Factor....he's much different as a stand up comedian....same with Stanhope....yeah he was on the Man Show for 1 season and in that Girls Gone Wild infomercial....but at least he admits he did it because he's a whore.
Probably best to start with guys like Birbiglia, Gaffigan, and Tosh....then move on to Barry, Hedburg, Cross, Oswalt, and Rogan.....then make the leap to Carlin, Hicks, Stanhope, Schimmel, Bruce.
Or you could keep being a Dane Cook-loving-grown man-trapped-in-a-14-year-old-girls-body-pansy-ass-poser-:female: and move right from Cook to Larry the Cable guy or Carlos Mencia......

Sorry to bump.
This thread inspired me to build a site.
So if anyone is still looking for new comedians check this shit out:
ComedySpin
Digg It Up Please
it helps people find new comedians based on what other people with the same taste liked. So you type in your favorite comedian and it returns the comedians that people who liked that comedian also liked. Kinda like pandora but for comedians and with video playlists. Then you can vote up or down on the comedians and the site gets smarter the more it gets used. Right now it's pretty dumb, so if anyone wanted to make a few rates that'd be a big help to me.

I just watched the Russell Peters - "outsourced" DVD. It's a must do.
Also go with George Carlin - especially "You're all diseased."

I like Aaron Karo's stuff (Aaron Karo: author. comedian. recovering frat boy. - The official web site of RUMINATIONS), not sure if others would enjoy it as much, but oh well.
