He is certainly a master of the new media. Cook has deftly marketed himself on the Internet to his target college-age audience, and they have embraced him as a fellow “bro” and “dude,” who would seemingly be awesome to party with.

Vicious Circle
This is a great stand up video of Dane Cook, the stories he tells is quite like the stand up from Eddie Murphy in the 80′s, but, is original.

SPARE ME THE SERMON

Dane at his best!
I have watched all of Dane’s other comedy routines, and this is by far his best one. This DVD has several deleted scenes, which are worth the purchase price alone.

Love it.
I saw Dane Cook at a friend’s house while dog-sitting and absolutely loved it. I had to buy it, so I bought it for my boyfriend for Christmas. We both watch it all the time.
