Controversy[edit]

A 2007 article in Radar magazine about joke theft noted widespread internet discussion of the similarity between the bits 'Struck by a Vehicle', 'Itchy Asshole', and 'My Son Optimus Prime' from Cook's 2005 album Retaliation and the bits 'Guy on a Bike', 'Itchy Asshole', and 'Kid's Names' from comic Louis C.K.'s 2001 album Live in Houston.[7]

Dane Cook My Son Optimus Prime Series

The term Karen from Cook's sketch 'The Friend Nobody Likes' has become an internet meme which references stereotypes that are common to 'basic white women'; the most notable is the stereotype that a Karen will demand to 'speak with the manager' of a hypothetical service provider.[8] Further common stereotypes associated with the Karen pejorative include anti-vaccination beliefs, racism against black people, use of Facebook and a bob haircut with blonde highlights—pictures of Kate Gosselin during the airing of Kate Plus 8 were used in earlier memes about a 'can-I-speak-to-your-manager haircut',[9] and continue to be used in Karen memes[8]—engagement in multi-level marketing schemes, and Facebook posts sharing trite motivational messages.[8]
