Jamie Kennedy, Dane Cook and Dave Chapelle helped christen the Student Union by discussing topics that hit close to home, including masturbation, Girls Gone Wild and the Burger King drive-thru employee.
The three comedians entertained a sold out crowd in the Lenhart Grand Ballroom as part of the UAO Comedy Show Friday.
Chapelle, the headline act, is an Ohio resident and has starred in movies such as “Half-Baked,” “Blue Streak” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights.” Kennedy stars in his own sitcom,”The Jamie Kennedy Experience” on the WB network. Kennedy has also starred in the “Scream” trilogy, “Boiler Room” and “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.” Cook starred in “Mystery Men” as the Waffler and also was featured on “Comedy Central Presents.”
While Chapelle was the headline act, it was Cook who stole the show with a high energy performance.
The crowd gave Cook a wild ovation after he encouraged the first Union orgy, saying, “Let’s turn out the lights and play who’s in my mouth.”
He also ranted on about his favorite commercial on television, the 30-second “Girls Gone Wild” spot.
“If you think about it, girls pulling their shirts up isn’t really that wild,” Cook said. “Now, if a girl pulled up her shirt and starting stabbing herself, that would be different. Wow, that girl is wild!”
He also got personal with the crowd, talking about his fear of the Kool-Aid man as a kid.
“Imagine 450 gallons of punch coming over and knocking down your wall screaming, ‘Ooh yeah,” Cook said.
“The only way I could defend myself from him is by kicking his knee because he’s top heavy, you know.”
Chapelle’s slowed down the pace after Cook but effectively combined humor into issues of politics and current events. One of the best examples was Chapelle’s criticism of the situation in Afghanistan.
“These people have planes flying over them every day with bombs dropping causing destruction,” Chapelle said. “Then, all of a sudden, we decide to start dropping food to them. So these people don’t know if these planes are dropping bombs or cheese sandwiches. I can see a guy standing out there saying, ‘Is that a bomb? … no, it’s cheese sandwiches.'”
Kennedy started his act by talking about his spring break experience down in Panama City, ranting how contradicting the girls down there could be.
“Girls are down on the beach in their little thongs showing off as much skin as possible,'” Kennedy said.
“They rub suntan lotion all over their body. Then they catch you staring at them and they say ‘What are you looking at a–hole!'”
David Friar of Toledo was the host emcee after winning a contest by UAO for the position. Friar opened the show with his Andrew Dice Clay-esque voice and got some laughs with his rant on Toledo rust-bucket cars with $10,000 stereo systems.
