Retaliation (Digipak) (CD)

Dane Cook is one of the best selling stand-up comedians of all time, and within the world of stand-up comics he is also one of the more controversial. A cyber-age self-made man, Cook used his own website and myspace.com to help launch his career, developing a grassroots cult following into a full-fledged phenomenon that resulted in HBO specials, CDs, film roles, and the documentary series TOURGASM. Among fellow comedians Cook is often criticized for his unoriginality, his lack of actual jokes, and a tendency to steal others' material beyond the accepted limit. Nonetheless, his sophomore album, RETALIATION, debuted at number four on the Billboard charts in 2005, an accomplishment nearly unheard of for a comedy album. Cook released his debut single as a rock singer, "Forward," in 2007.

Logos are usually reserved for brand names, rock bands, and superheroes, but comedian Dane Cook has acquired his own logo--the Superfinger. This tricked-out variation of the middle finger embodies Cook's irreverent style of humor, and, on the one-CD/one-DVD set RETALIATION, recorded live in Boston, there's plenty of his quirky, in-your-face banter. Here the Massachusetts native waxes profane on being "Abducted" into alien spaceships ("I'm interested. I'm here for you. Don't suck me up by my chest."), "Superpowers" ("I'd like to be able to shoot spaghetti out of my fingertips."), and "The Friend Nobody Likes" ("You keep them [around] to hate their guts."). Like the crass buddy you can't help but laugh at, Cook isn't afraid to offend, and his carefree, often-absurd routines are sure to keep listeners chuckling, while waving their Superfingers in the air.
