Dane Cook Obsessively Watches YouPorn “To Better Understand The Titles”
I was planning to write today about product placement in user-generated videos, but since it’s Monday, I’ve decided to throw down something with more entertainment value.
I went to the Laugh Factory in Hollywood on Friday night, where Dane Cook performed, sandwiched by ten or so C- and D-List celebrities. These other celebs were all semi-recognizable from specials on E! and MTV and/or the orgie of crappy Wayans Brothers’ spoofs. Anywho, Dane Cook talked for about a half hour about his obsession with youporn (www.youporn.com), a video sharing website that’s essentially youtube without clothes.
Dane claimed that he never “flogs his number” to the videos, but spends hours watching them to figure out the meaning behind their often ridiculous titles. He said some of his favorite titles included, “Oral Sex with a Peanut Butter Smack,” “Dog Fashion Disco,” and “Xmas Nut.” I’m not going to link these videos, but if you want to check them out, assuming you’re only interested in understanding their titles, you have my full blessing.
By the way, I tried to ask Dane some follow-up questions after the show about youporn. I wanted to confirm my suspicion that that they pay him a pretty penny to mention their site in his stand-up act. However, he got onto his high horse (read: automobile) and zoomed away before I had the chance. Funny how product placement creeped its way into this post after all.
