Dane Cook Told An Aurora Shooting Joke, Of Course (UPDATE: And He’s Sorry)

July 27, 2012 / Posted by: Michael K

Dane Cook must’ve looked at all the free attention Daniel Tosh got for that whole “Wouldn’t it be funny if 5 guys raped her right now?” thing and thought to himself, “I can do that too!” And he did at The Laugh Factory in L.A. last night when he tried out this joke:

“I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into [The Dark Knight Rises]. And I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie, but the movie’s pretty much a piece of crap. Yeah, spoiler alert. I know that if none of that would have happened, I’m pretty sure that somebody in that theater, about 25 minutes in realizing it was a piece of crap, probably was like, ‘Ugh, fucking shoot me.'”

The comedian he stole that joke from should be ashamed of themselves! But really, Dane Cook has a point. The Dark Knight Rises was a total piece of crap compared to the cinematic brilliance of Employee of the Month.

UPDATE: Dane Cook’s ass farted out an apology today, “I made a bad judgment call with my material last night & regret making a joke at such a sensitive time. My heart goes out to all of the families & friends of the victims.”
