Dane Cook, "Is the Backlash Deserved?"

When I was in college I went and see Dane Cook for free at the Student Union. I personally thought he was funny and entertaining, and so did most of the people there judging from their applause. Since then he has sold tons of albums and sells out anywhere he goes. It wasn't until recently that I've noticed a sort of backlash against him and his career. I have seen several shows make fun of how he's supposedly not funny and doesn't deserve any of the fame and success he has obtained thus far. I am not for sure where all of this started, but it seems to be spreading. I even heard Dane himself talk about it during an interview on the Howard Stern Show. He doesn't know the cause of it either because when he first started he was considered one of the best up-and-coming comics out there. Now others mock him for some reason that escapes me. The only thing I can think of is that there were some comics that were coming up around the same time as Dane, but he got the fame and they didn't. I could see how this might make someone a little jealous, causing them to resent his success enough to lash out against him publicly. That's where I think others just jumped on this bandwagon of "Dane Cook Hating" and haven't thought about getting off anytime soon. He got famous, he's funny, and you're not. Get over it.
