Poll question: Jerry Clower or Dane Cook?

A copycat, and to settle an argument in another thread.

1. I have no idea who Clower is

but I can't stand Cook.

I vote for Clower.

2. That's exactly the bounce I'm hoping for.

3. the name Dane Cook rings a bell

but i am not sure why. :shrug:

[jobycom]

4. He was on "America's Greatest Chefs."

He wore a Viking helmet. I think.

5. ok

:hi:

6. I don't know who Jerry Clower is

but I find it hard to believe that he'd be more annoying than Dane Cook.

7. I am the proud owner of a personally autographed photo of Clower

he is in the tradition of the southern teller of tall tales.
Dane Cook is in the tradition of the incredibly lame fratboy

8. Well, knock 'im out John.

I'm impressed.

9. I used to have several of his autographs.

Lost them long ago, along with Dolly Parton's, Conway Twitty's, Jim Ed Brown's, and Helen Cornelius's. :)

10. Clower didn't tell funny stories...

he told stories funny.

He may have been a bit Hee-Haw, but his style was hard to resist.

17. Freaking greatest single line in all of comedy history!

Well, at least without swear words.

19. According to Wiki, Marcel Ledbetter is an actual person!

I never knew that. In fact, the whole Ledbetter clan, from Uncle Versie on down, was/is real. Marcel was Jerry's best friend.

I loved me some Jerry Clower. Funny without ever being off-color.

12. I am surprised at how many don't know Clower.

Maybe I am familiar because he is from my state. But I grew up knowing who he was. He wasn't my kinda comedian, but his comedy is sure better than Cook's.

[jobycom]

16. Yeah, I was going to ask, where are you from again?

You know him for the same reason I know him. :rofl:

14. Dane who?

Oh that talentless hack who had to have slept his way into show biz? Clower has Cook beat by a mile. Some of his jokes too forever to tell but his sense of humor and delivery were enjoyable to listen to. I believe I've still got one of his vinyl albums in my collection.

15. at some point, Cook has certainly stolen some material from Clower. nt.

18. Jerry Clower has made me laugh. Dane Cook, not so much.
