MOG Editorial Review

Polarizing comic Dane Cook put a stamp on the world of stand-up with the release of Retaliation, the highest-charting comedy debut in 28 years. While many critics cite Dane's apparent theft of jokes from comics like Louis C.K, the energy Cook puts into each bit is undeniable. So, while you may have heard of jokes like "Struck By A Vehicle" and "Itchy Asshole," his delivery gives them a new life. Cook has gone on to release successful specials like Vicious Circle in recent years, but Retaliation easily stands as his most roundly acclaimed album.
