One funny guy!

Has anyone heard of or seen a comedian named Dane Cook? HOLY CRAP is this guy funny. He's funny in the conventional sense that he has funny jokes, but what puts him over the top are a couple of things. First, his delivery is great. He reminds me of a toned down Jack Black, which totally works. Second, his references to pop culture are great. They aren't just references to stuff going on today, but things from my past. It's almost like he was one of my friends from high school and the college years. I just listened to his new CD called Retaliation. One of the first things he starts talking about is some guy that got hit by a car. He talks about how he got hit in the hip and being your center of gravity, this sent him flying over the car like Eddie Gordo from Tekken when you don't know any of the combos and you start mashing buttons. That's hillarious! My friends and I used to play Tekken and Eddie Gordo was always the "cheat" character because you could get him to flip around and fly through the air by just mashing a bunch of buttons. Holy crap is this guy funny. I listed to his CD in the car and after 20 minutes I thought, this might not be a good idea. I was laughing so hard I'm surprised I didn't crash my car. Anyway. I just discovered this guy and thought I would share.
If you get the chance, check this guy out. Go to his shows, listen to his CDs, watch him on TV. The man is funny.
