^agreed. And, its not like Dane was Paris Hiltons brother who decided to do comedy and stole some jokes and used his fame to easily climb to the top. Dane did plenty of "working his way up" and "putting in his dues" just like every other comedian. the reason dane became famous is because he made people laugh, he's likeable, hilarious and good at what he does.
If this other guy were likeable, hilarious, and good at what he does. He'd be as big as Dane Cook too, and then we'd be accusing Dane of stealing his jokes.
I know of plenty of people who can think of really good material but they cant deliver it. why do you think they have writers for sitcoms? If theres lots of good material out there that people are coming up with, and no one is hearing it because they are amateur comedians who suck and no one goes to see them. well then, what a waste of humor.
^im just talking in a general sense about comedians jacking comedy. Talking specifically about Dane..i dont think he did steal them.
