Comedy was never so tragic.

Apparently, Dane Cook is attempting to beat Dave Chapelle's "endurance record" for longest "comedy" set.

Dane Cook has broken a Laugh Factory endurance record set less than a month ago by Dave Chappelle.

In what is becoming a heated battle between the two comedians, Cook told jokes at the Sunset Strip comedy club for 7 hours, beating the record Chappelle, 34, set at 6 hours and 12 minutes in December.

Cook went on stage Tuesday and continued until nearly 7 a.m. Wednesday, and at one point even sent out for food to keep the audience fed and happy.

In related news, the CIA has announced that "7 hours of Dane Cook attempting to tell jokes" will replace waterboarding, stress positions, sleep deprivation, and sensory deprivation as their new "extraordinary interrogation" methods of choice.

Detainees at Guantanamo Bay are reported to be feeling "nostalgic" about the previous techniques, with some going so far as to offer to waterboard themselves.

At least we know Chappelle still wins for quality.

"Cook told jokes at the Sunset Strip comedy club..."

I still have yet to see proof that Dane Cook has EVER told a joke.
