Comedian

The Resume

    (May 7, 1964- )
    Born in San Diego, California
    Frequent contributor to Best Week Ever
    Hosted 'The Benson Interruption' on Comedy Central (2010-11)
    Recorded the comedy albums 'Professional Humoredian' (2008), 'Unbalanced Load' (2009), 'Hypocritical Oaf' (2010), 'Potty Mouth' (2011) and 'Smug Life' (2012)

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a backup dancer at the Disney theme park attraction Captain Eo.
    He starred in the documentary 'Super High Me.' ('It's 'Super Size Me' with cannabis instead of McDonald's.')
    He also starred off-Broadway in a 'Vagina Monologues' parody called the 'Marijuana-logues.' (You like pot. We get it, already.)
    Ironically, despite being known for drug humor, he did not begin smoking marijuana until he had been a comedian for several years.
    He has a California medical marijuana permit despite not having a relevant medical condition.
    He used to end all his 'Doug Loves Movies' podcasts with 'Willem Dafoe is a shithead.'
    He was a contestant on Last Comic Standing despite already being kinda well-known thanks to 'Best Week Ever.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He got started in stand-up when he and two friends dared each other to go onstage and he was the only one to follow through.
    When too many people started asking what Dafoe did that made him a shithead*, he started letting audience members name other celebs to be called shitheads at the end of the podcast. (*For anyone wondering, the answer is: Nothing. It was a throw-away joke.)
    Asked if his visbility as a stoner might get him targeted by the DEA, he replied, 'It would certainly bring some attention to how ridiculous the drug war is.'
    The Onion's AV Club, noting his productive schedule, said he was 'like a high school student who hangs out with the stoners but gets good grades.'
    He quipped, 'I can make jokes even when I'm not high. I'm that good at it.'
