But was any of it actually funny?

I actually still find Dane Cook's stand up funny, which I know is not a popular opinion on the internet. But I still think anything longer than 60 minutes - MAYBE 90 minutes - would be excruciating.

Yeah I can’t remember why he fell out of fashion (maybe because he started acting?) but he really was funny at his prime. The show I saw was fantastic!

I honestly think it was a case of he was just so popular that everyone has to act like they hate him to seem cool and hipster. The same thing happened with Green Day in like 2006. The same thing is happening with Taylor Swift now.

Chris Pratt also comes to mind!

Yes, absolutely.
