Dane Cook Refuses To Apologize For Vanessa Hudgens Joke

Pin It

Comedian Dane Cook presented the Choice Hottie award at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday. Before he presented the award, he made a joke at Vanessa Hudgens’ expense (more nude photos of the Disney star surfaced last week of her talking on the phone topless).

Dane joked, “Vanessa Hudgens, girl, you got to keep your clothes on! Phones are for phone calls, girls!” and was booed by the audience in response.

Vanessa herself was sitting in the audience.

Dane isn’t backing down, however, and defended his joke.

“I planned it about 20 minutes before I went out there. (I said it) because I like to be on the cusp of fear.
“Mostly I just wanted it to be funny. That’s the best part about being a comic, when you go, ‘Maybe I can say the thing that everybody is kind of feeling and nobody (is saying).’ The elephant-in-the-room (awkward) moment. So, I’ll take it, I’ll take the hit. It’s okay.”

Dane’s cook was cut from the telecast, but TMZ has the footage here.

What do you think: did Dane cross the line?

    I agree….I hate Dane Cook (I dont think he’s funny) but Hudgens deserved this. For the love of God, girl QUIT TAKING NUDE PICS OF YOURSELF and get mad when they are magically leaked to the media!!!!!! STOPPP***annie***

  2. maggie says:

    well good for him….maybe it will smarten her up!!

  3. Manimal says:

    Dane Cook is okay, but there was nothing wrong with what he said. Funny if you ask me.

  4. SoniaO says:

    LOL. That was the first time I laughed at a Dane Cook joke. Tell it like it is boy. Stick to your guns. VH needs to learn her lesson and if being publicly humilated for her stupidity (yes, stupid because it’s the 2nd time for a nude pics scandal) then so be it.

    I think it was funny but he made the joke in front of the wrong audience.

    What about his joke? Was that cut, too?

    It was def. funny joke, not sure about the audience he choose for it though.

    And forgot to say, I CAN’T stand the guy, but the joke was fun

    Dane Cook was giving her some good advice, and she does not deserve an apology. Don’t put yourself in a position to ask for one! What is with all of these nudie pictures coming out? Not much left to the imagination anyway, with the way the young girls dress today-can’t just one little thing be left to the imagination? And I agree about Miley. That girl is not a good role model at all.

  9. Anonymous says:

    hahaha i thought that was hilarious. i dont like her. im not really that bothered about the pictures if she wants to take them fair enough, but she has to take responsibility for them. and seeing as she’s a disney “role model” (i use the term loosely) isnt it at least better to show kids that hey yeah im a slut but you know i accept what i am and apologize rather than yeah im a slut and i just sit and hide and ignore my responsibility. RAT

    maybe the joke was not appropriate in front of the kids but the joke was coming…what comedian would miss the opportunity of making a joke of her nude pics in front of her?

    I thought it was hilarious. It’s her fault for taking so many nude pictures of herself. She’s a celebrity and there’s a price to pay for fame… nothing is private. It’s her own fault and I’m just glad someone called her out on it! Even better in front of so many people. Who cares where they were? These are her young fans that hear about this kind of thing and think it’s ok to do that.

    I am so glad he said it… major BURN!!! and at first I though awww maybe he shouldn’t have said it at the teen chice awards but hey if these kids just google her name naked pics will come up..and judging by the laughing( not booing) everybody knew what he was talking about, funny they didn’t pan to Zac’s face, he probably was laughing his ass off like that blonde hair chick behind Vagina Hudgens.

  16. OutInLeftField says:

    Someone needs to tell her to keep her clothes on because apparently she hasn’t figure it out yet.

  17. Ha says:

    Out of line? Are you kidding? The audience watching this show is the exact audience that someone should be telling that to. Don’t take freaking nude pictures with your phone and send them out. NOTHING is private anymore. They have done Dateline and 20/20 stories about this very thing. She’s an idiot and she should have known better. Which makes me think – maybe she leaked them herself? Stranger things have happened AND, if that’s the case, she deserved to be called out on it.

  18. Manimal says:

    On another note, I love her heels. They are VERY hot. Purple kinda does it for me. Okay, it really does it for me.

  19. Anonymous says:

    I don’t think he did. If these girls keep taking naked photos of themselves, they are fresh meat. They are obviously taking them thinking SOMEONE going to see them. I thought it was highly entertaining. Bottom line: Don’t take naked photos of yourself…or a nudey film if you can’t wait the heat.

  20. Anonymous says:

    sorry but the audience (teen) are HER audience… She did it…TWICE!!! Disney porn star!!!! She deserved it!!!!!

  21. Janey Cabaney says:

    I thought it was appropriate. If Sarah Silverman said it, all would be fine.

    If you’re going to take nekkid pics,post them, AND you’re a celebrity it’s par for the course.

    Maybe she keeps doing this b/c she wants out of Disney.

  22. Court says:

    How can anyone say it wasn’t the right venue for him to say that? She’s a teen, Disney star. He said it to her fan base. And thank god someone said it to those kids. Just because VH does it, doesn’t mean it’s right. She had it coming. She’s not exactly what I would call a “role model”. I can’t stand Dane Cook but he was just speaking the truth. You don’t want to be made to look like a fool? Then keep your clothes on honey.

    “Dane Cook” and “funny” do not belong in the same sentence.

    I think Dane Cook owes a big apology…for stretching out his fifteen seconds this long.

    exactly…this is the 2nd time this has oops! happened. if she doesn’t want to be called out on it then don’t do it or be more discrete about it. all the parents should be thanking him. her burn could stop their daughters from making a stupid mistake.

    i absolutely agree, we should shame women as a form of controlling their sexual behavior and bodies.

  30. Ca says:

    Oh please, she’s done a darn good job of shaming herself. Don’t pretend it’s anti-feminist to scold an underage girl for taking digital images of herself. Someone has to tell her it’s unacceptable and a shameful thing to do. Women should be telling other women to watch out for themselves. A 17 year old taking naked pics is not ‘empowering’ for gosh sakes!!

  31. DonnaJ says:

    True dat.

    If she’s shamed herself then that’s a consequence. She doesn’t need a stupid joke to know that having pics of herself leaked sucks.

    Why the hell isnt anyone asking as to how the pictures got leaked in the first place?! I think it’s her publicity stunt to try to get people to pay more attention to her.
    So yay for Dane Cook calling her out on being a stupid idiot. If its not her, then she mustve known from the first time the pictures were leaked that it would happen again, and again.
    VH is a dumbass. Dane Cook is funny. End of story.

    DANE COOK WAS OUT OF LINE NO MATTER HOW YOU DEFEND HIM! How would you feel if you have this immense pressure of paparatzzi, celebs goin into rehab all around you and heck your a 20 year old woman! There is no need for it infront of that many people. And yeah, just to clear it up, those ‘new’ pics were actually taken with the first lot a couple of weeks before hand and were only seperated cos this perv knew he cud get vanessa on the rocks by makin it look like shes a slut. She’s 20 giv her a break people. I’m not saying its right, I mean she wasen’t 20 wen she took the pictures, but this is her personal life and the only reason she is gettin bullied for it is because she was branded disney. If it were britney or beyonce or rihanna it wudn’t be all ‘OMG’. Those pics were leaked by sum perv, it is possible that desperate obsessed pervs wud get into her computer or phone you know. All im saying is that DANE COOK was insensitive and he SHOULD apologize, but I think VANESSA SHOULD APOLOGIZE too, not for them being leaked, but that everyone had to see them, and that is wasent her doing.

  43. Chelle says:

    Dane Cook Rules!
    Vanessa Hudgens totally had it coming and man that joke was funny as.

    Vanessas supposed to be like a role model for all her High Skool Musical fans, but yet she goes ahead and take Naked! Photos of her self AND send them to her Boy Friend!

    I don’t think Vanessa Hudgens is a very sensible girl if you ask me.!

    i mean just put your self in there position, it was not at the right time but it was funny

    Well,Vanessa is 16 when she took those photos,both of it actually.Maybe some people will think I’m biased or anything.But you think she haven’t learn from her mistakes.Yes,it is her fault that she took those photos,but she was young at that time,nobody is perfect,everyone makes mistakes.But,well,I admit that the mistake she made is pretty big,but,she was still immature.By the way,it isn’t funny to say something which can hurt someones feeling.Its totally rude.Being a celebrity doesn’t mean you have to be perfect.Its her life,its her choice.Do you think she like it?NO!So,stop criticizing her.What if it was you who is stuck in this kind of situation?You definitely won’t like it right?Don’t judge a book by its cover,so stop thinking she is a slut when you haven’t even meet her.

  53. Geemaa says:

    again different people have different opinions and they shouldn’t be told they are wrong. i personally think he is a jackass who has little talent and rot in hell but then again I’m a die-hard Vanessa Hudgens fan and thats my opinion. It was however, wrong to say that at the teen choice awards, his clue was when FOX cut it out of the broadcasting. i love the face he was booed of the stage. I hope he isnt there this year and lets be honest we are going to hear more about Vanessa Hudgens than Dane cook so he can do what ever the hell he wants. he is a nobody and always will be

  54. DaleJuniorAmp88 says:

    I think the joke was funny! If you don’t want to be the butt of a joke, don’t do something stupid like taking naked photos of yourself. People need to learn how to have a sense of humor these days…… So yes, I’m on Dane’s side.

    It was definitely not the event for this type of joke. It was bit unappropiate and outta place if you ask me.

  61. luckystar says:

    I think taking nude photos of yourself is more inappropriate!

  62. rockonxox says:

    Well dancing on a pole is okay with the Teen Choice Awards so really what ISN’T appropriate anymore for shows geared towards teens. They all think it’s great to be all scandalous and skanktastic in public but, no, it’s not. It comes back to bite you in the butt. Team Dane ;)

  63. ebony says:

    do i get this right? this is a teen event where teens (who took nude pictures of themselves) receive a price because they are ‘hot!’ — and when someone gives advice better to stay dressed then *he* is out of line?!?!?

  69. Ashes22 says:

    I agree with him. If she didn’t want to be made fun of she shouldn’t have taken the pictures. Frankly, in my opinion, when you have not one but TWO nude photo scandals you’re setting yourself up for it. Should we all just ignore it because her feelings might get hurt? Maybe now that someone has publicly embarrassed her for it, she’ll learn her lesson. And besides its true, she really should keep her clothes on when there’s a camera in the room.

    One more time for the slow people… he told the TRUTH and it needed to be said out loud.

    Furthermore, what Dane Cook said was very much appropriate for that audience and they needed to hear an adult disagree with this behavior. Please try to recall at this very same event Miley Cyrus was humping a stripper pole! These teenagers are not receiving the guidance and love they need and deserve from their parents. It shows. Also, the “teen choice” audience is VH’s audience. They are WELL AWARE that VH took naked pictures of herself because VH public apologized to the this very fan base the first time nude pics of her were released.

    To me this makes VH look like an imbecile. First time que lastima, but the second time… she’s got some explaining to do.

    i don’t think she should have ever had to apologize for taking pictures of herself. people have the freedom to do what they want with their bodies in private. it’s none of your business!

  82. IMO DANE SAID EXACTLY WHAT HER PARENTS SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER. Vanessa is 20yrs old now, so perhaps she wants to do more risque things. I heard she is going to be in a movie where she plays a stripper. Who knows!N This is why parents should try to be the role models for their children and not rely on celebs to be the role models.

    I completely agree. This joke was a stupid idea whether anyone thinks it’s true or not. It was just rude. Her pictures are none of his business. In fact, they’re none of anyone’s business but people seem to have nothing else to talk about so…why not put someone down even though they never did anything to you? Really?

    If you don’t want to have limitations on what you’re able to do, then don’t sign a deal with Disney. There are many perks you get with being a celebrity, but there are also down sides. She knew what she was getting herself into, and her responsibility as a role model to children was not to act in that manner. So yeah, Dane Cook could say whatever the hell he wants to say because his job as a comedian, is to put the funny side into these types of situations and I thought it was hilarious!!

  86. Monica says:

    Has she no brain? I mean, really. Twice now? How many more nudes does she have and who is she sending them to?!?! Lots of people, I’d presume. No, Dane was not out of line and he doesn’t owe an apology. She did it to herself…. FOR A SECOND TIME! Narcisscisstic whore.

VH knew what she was doing when she took those pics, and celeb pics leaking onto the internet really isn’t anything new anymore, so there’s no reason for her to be surprised or whatever. It’s not like she’s 14 yrs old, she’s an adult and needs to live with the consequences. If you don’t want the world to see your goodies, don’t take nude pics of yourself. At least not with a cell phone or other kind of digital cam. Learn how to develop a film yourself, it’s not rocket science.

    You’re an idiotic Vanessa Hudgens die hard dumbass blinded by her high school musical character. Dane Cook has been part of 32 films, has had platinum comedy skits, was mentioned in the 2006 “100 most influential people” for Time magazine(so he actually is a somebody), has broken comedy records, is actually funny and genuine as a person(unlike someone who’s known as a good person by her HSM character and a slut in real life).
