Wednesday Intermezzo: Dane Goes Emo

You may know Dane Cook for his shitty movies and jokes that appeal to the insanely stupid. But now Cook has stepped onto our turf with the release of his first music single, Forward. Worse, it’s not a gag; this is a serious attempt. Our friend Bloo2e points us in the direction of Best Week Ever, who have outdone themselves by creating a fitting video for Forward. This is a horrible tune, which really is just a complete ripoff of Chicago’s Hard To Say I’m Sorry. Dane, if you’re gonna blatantly copy a song, at least pick a good one.

Enough about Dane Cook, let’s check out the best of the rest of the ‘nets:
