He looks for nice teeth in the opposite sex, wants to name his future children after Transformers and says the love of his life needs to be able to sit on the couch and sing jingles with him.
“Plug it in, plug it in,” Dane Cook sang to a near-full Welsh-Ryan Arena Monday night.
In addition to singing the Glade Plug-Ins commercial, Dane Cook also cracked jokes on America’s love of violence, the dynamics of the workplace and the “secret” that all guys don’t only think about sex.
“Every guy in here would rather be in a heist than have sex,” Cook said.
As part of the “Tourgasm” trip across the United States, Cook stopped at NU for a two-and-a-half hour show that included performances from three other comedians. Cook and company started the month-long tour in California and are stopping at 19 universities on their way to Massachusetts. The performances are being taped and will be made into a documentary.
Cook bounded across the stage Monday night, inspiring loud laughter and applause. When describing the way he makes out with a girl, women hollered cat-calls.
“I hold her skull like a predator,” Cook said. “And then I do my signature move: I flick her eye.”
A great one-night stand, or “O.N.S.,” begins with his “original” pick-up line, said Cook, who received a standing ovation at the conclusion of his routine.
“When I see that girl in the bar, I say, ‘Are you gonna be walking to your car by yourself later?'” Cook said. “‘I’ll be over here watching.'”
Cook followed performances by comedians Jay Davis, Robert Kelly and Gary Gulman. Kelly, a self-proclaimed “chubby guy,” mocked his own weight, saying that he doesn’t like to share food.
“I need to have my own pizza,” Kelly said. “If you share it, everyone’s trying to eat as fast as they can, and you can’t really enjoy it. You look at your fat friend, who has already eaten three pieces, and you’re like, ‘I’ve only had two. How does he do that?’ That’s why they invented the fold.”
Gulman, a Boston College graduate, wished one kid in the back of the arena “good luck on (his) finals.”
“I know what those are,” Gulman said. “I went to college. My dad told me, ‘I’m not paying $33,000 a year for you to drink beer and chase girls.’ I said, ‘Dad, that’s where you’re wrong.'”
Weinberg sophomore Serena Fishman said her love for Cook prior to the show meant she had high expectations.
“I heard when he gets excited, he takes off his shirt,” she said. “But I was impressed nonetheless, even if he was fully clothed.”
