In the beginning...(of comedy)..."Cinematic comedy can be considered the oldest film genre (and one of the most prolific and popular). Comedy was ideal for the early silent films, as it was dependent on visual action and physical humor rather than sound. Slapstick, one of the earliest forms of comedy, poked fun at farcical situations of physical mishap and indignity, usually in pratfalls, practical jokes, accidents, acrobatic death-defying stunts, water soakings, or wild chase scenes with trains and cars" (http://www.filmsite.org/comedyfilms2.html). Dane Cook is successful as a comedian because his style of humor is similar to this early style of comedy. His jokes would not be as funny if they were not accompanied by his hilarious body gestures. He is truly the master of his domain.
In the beginning... (Dane Cook)...Raised in the Boston suburb of Arlington, MA, Cook began his career at age 18, honing his craft on the college and comedy club circuits. A firm believer in connecting personally with his fans, Cook became one of the first comics to develop and maintain his own website to reach out to audiences. He still routinely spends hours every day personally answering fans' emails and works tirelessly to remain accessible through blogs, podcasts, and free downloads of his routines. As a result of his efforts, his website, danecook.com, now receives over 500,000 hits per month and his MySpace following has grown to an unprecedented community of 1,800,000 friends. What more can I add, he is Amazing!!!!!
