The tour then winds its way through New York City and Philadelphia, where a clueless van driver nearly causes the boys to miss a live TV appearance. In Baltimore, Gary relives one of his darkest moments: last night's heckle-ridden show. The bad vibes are only slightly mitigated by a minute trip to a crab restaurant, where the consensus is that the meat just wasn't worth the work.
Dane shows off his internet acumen to Jay, then spearheads a Terrapin prank on the injury-prone Bobby, who's been at the dentist after shattering a tooth on a crab shell. The boys' luck turns in University Park, PA, where they play the tour's biggest gig to some 7, raucous Penn State fans. Afterwards, Dane admits that this was one of those highlights when he can say 'I've made it. In Charlottesville, VA, the boys compete in a game of indoor paintball that ends with the ultracompetitive Dane accusing Jay of foul play.
Later, Dane's dizzy spell fuels speculation that the show at the University of Virginia will be cancelled, but Gary's 'perfect' set, combined with the crowd's overwhelming support, pull the star through.
Dane's competitive juices flow again during a heated poker game, followed by an exhilarating white-water rafting trip near Richmond. The tour then heads north to familiar territory: Massachusetts, where some frenetic 'original' fans at Fitchburg College welcome home their comedic hero. Before a gig at the University of Massachusetts, the boys unwind with a game of miniature golf.
Standing again on the auditorium stage where he first performed, Dane gets emotional and reflective, realizing his career has come full circle. The utopia of his return is dulled the next day, when he must pack up his stuff before the tour ends. The final show, at Boston University, brings out the best in the comics--as well as plenty of good vibes at completing such a memorable journey.
With 'Tourgasm' in the can, Dane, Gary, Bobby and Jay turn back the clock to share details on how they started out, how they met, and how they overcame in some cases initial animosity to become true friends. This edition features plenty of revealing home movies and photos, including early comedy-club performances by each comic; home documentaries starring Dane's mom; a pantomimed performance special by a young Dane shot while taking a break at a pizzeria; an eye-opening look at how the comic's sense of fashion, hair and comedy has evolved through the years; and more.
The episode concludes with Dane reading a graduation letter he'd written, at the request of his high-school writing teacher, to his biggest fan and best friend: Dane Cook. In the series finale, Dane and the boys take on a new adventure: Fighter Pilot for a Day school.
It's terrifying--and nauseating--but reliving the tour afterward is hilarious, especially with highlights like Jay's porn-filled hotel bill! They conclude that 'Tourgasm' has left them better friends--with most of their dignity and internal organs intact. Mature audience only. Dane Cook's Tourgasm. The Jackass lads led by Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Chris Pontius all angled for the same demographic with elaborate gross-out stunts and rhapsodic physical damage.
Briefly, the universe decided that a white guy in a trucker hat humiliating his friends was primetime material. Nobody can say for sure why that kind of humor went out of style, but if I were to guess, I imagine that eventually we pierced the veil of keg-stand comedy, and some of the narcissism and blatant mean-spiritedness innate to those acts began to outshine their artistic merits.
For my money, the true ending to the Cook reign happened in early , at a moment when the comedian was likely recalibrating to a slightly diminished spot in the industry. He performed an infamously unhinged set at the Laugh Factory , which was reportedly full of antipathy, conceitedness and the insecure overcompensation of a man who was losing his edge.
This was broadcasted out to the rest of the country by the other performers who were there, which then turned into a brief news cycle.
Glad Dane Cook stopped by the Improv tonight, otherwise I'd never hear the story about how he "chainsaw-fucked" a "disgusting whore's cunt. As a fan, this was when the mask was pulled off. The many secret inclinations you feared about Cook were dredged up into the harsh light of day, as the dizzy bliss of his incredible success atrophied away to reveal a bitterness just below the surface. That was another one of the digital impulses that Cook pioneered — the piddling neediness of saying something outlandishly vile in hopes of inciting a reciprocating response.
Not for laughs or gasps, necessarily, just the raw energy of attention. There is no longer an identifiable difference between authentic malignancy and sarcastic malignancy , and so, Cook was rendered a man out of time. But thankfully, that never happened. He seems more than happy to keep his thoughts to himself.
To paraphrase Tiffany Pollard, he sat there and ate his food. That makes sense, really. For better or worse, there has never been a moment onstage where Cook has been anyone but himself.
Dane Cook is still dating an Instagram influencer 26 years his junior, which continues to feel pretty gross. Day no shirt on at home. Outside workout daily. Down almost 20 lbs but gaining results in every other facet. Finished my book.. NBC claimed to have "creative differences" with Cook and creator Stephen Falk You're the Worst , and shelved the four episodes that were filmed.
The small screen could be the key to Dane Cook's return to the mainstream. He earned buzz playing an annoying boss on a recent episode of Workaholics , and he's set to play Robbie on American Gods , Starz's adaptation of the acclaimed Neil Gaiman novel. Taking a supporting role in a show that has the makings of a cult hit could be the first step towards Dane Cook 2. Getty Images. Employee of the Month tanked. Critics panned his next comedy.
