Dane Jeffrey Cook (born March 18, 1972 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is an American and screen actor. Cook grew up in Arlington, Massachusetts and attended Arlington High School. He was raised Roman Catholic.

His comic material is mostly observational humor. His recent routines include such diverse topics as car accident mayhem, Cook’s time spent working at Burger King and assorted geek humor. Cook often refers to specific places or things using his own slang terms. For instance: Burger King is the “BK Lounge” (a phrase first used by De La Soul), Walgreens is “The Wall” , and a sandwich is a “sangwich”. He also popularized the acronym BAMF, short for Bad Ass Mother Fucker, a slight variation on the more-common and widely-used “BMF”, or “Bad Mother Fucker”. Among Cook’s numerous television credits are performances on Comedy Central Presents and Comedy Central Bar Mitzvah Bash.

He is often referred to as ‘the most popular guy on MySpace’ (next to Tom Anderson, the creator of the service), because at one time he approved every friend request he received — recently hitting one million.

Career

When he was a teenager, Dane discovered his comedic talent when his father, former radio personality George Cook, gave him a tape recorder and microphone. He was inspired by watching and listening to a variety of comedians, including Bill Cosby, Johnny Carson, George Carlin and even Red Skelton. In seventh grade he watched Saturday Night Live one night and saw Martin Short performing his character Ed Grimley. He suddenly realized a goal in life: to be on the show.

    Dane Cook honestly used to be funny. I loved "Harmful if Swallowed" and "Retaliation" -- those were both pretty damn good. "Isolated Incident" and "Rough Around the Edges" were absolutely terrible, and I feel like that's when people started to hate him. You guys should really listen to his past stuff, but it's useless to recommend, because people jump on the hate bandwagon just to do so.

    v Because the only reason people laugh at his jokes is because they think they're supposed to.

    Undeniably one of the worst stand up comedians of all time. [2] The Nickelback of stand-up. [9] I want to push this guy off a cliff, for fuck's sake.
