Is The You Suck At Photoshop’s Donnie Hoyle Actually Dane Cook?

by Scott Beale on October 31, 2008 · 16 comments

The final episode (#20) of You Suck At Photoshop, a hilarious series of Photoshop tutorials by Donnie Hoyle, is now out and they have relieved that Donnie Hoyle is actually comedian Dane Cook or a least that’s what they want you to think.

Back in April we found out that Matt Bledsoe and Troy Hitch of Big Fat Brain created the popular series for My Damn Channel and that Troy was the voice of Donnie.

For the full experience and backstory, you should watch them all in order.

It's remarkable that Dane Cook actually did something really funny.

I'm genuinely shocked. I do Mac support for lots of deisngers and “You Suck…” has been legenedary in the community since ep 1. Dane Cook is legendary for the wrong reasons and to learn this is genuinely shocking. Does this mean he should pretend to be someone else all the time? I think so.

F ME!!! Are you serious? I hate dane cook and I can't believe I laughed at this. Well, I applaud him but I doubt he actually

A) Knows Photoshop at all
B) Came up with those stories (all by himself)

I doubt Dane Cook picked up screencasting software, designed a logo, envisioned a storyline and knew enough about Photoshop to actually make this good. That's just my opinion.

I don't buy this for a second. Looks like he's lip syncing.

It's just a Dane cameo at the end, folks. Because from the very beginning people said, “It's Dane Cook!”

they only put Dan Cook in there because everyone kept saying that – it is NOT Dane Cook – I believe one of the writers does the voice – Troy Hitch

Dane cook mentioned Donny Hoyle a couple of month ago when he was dissing the poster for the movie My Best Friend's GIrl. Either he knew about the 'You suck…' series or he is in fact Donny Hoyle:

I couldn't give a rat's about Donnie's real identity. I just enjoy seeing Dane Cook get shot in the face.

Anyone catch the jab at David Cross (the signed photo)? David Cross is one of the many comedians that have disdain for Cooks comedy and his thieving ways (check out YouTube and the jokes he stole from Louis CK). I personally can't stand Cook, but this was a great series, very funny. I kinda wish they had left it at where he disappeared.

To be honest, I would have been more surprised if it WASN'T Dane Cook.

He should stick to stuff like this. He's a lot funnier when he writes his own material like this, instead of rehashing bits from other comics.

How could you say it's a fact that it's Dane Cook, when it actually isn't. Where are you getting your facts? I've heard this stupid rumor all over the internet, and it's false. Before you write anything like “Donnie Hoyle is in fact comedian Dane Cook.” Do your research.

This is among many other articles and interviews that claims otherwise:

THIS IS NOT DANE COOK!
dane cook sucks at life and comedy, he would never dream of doing this, not to mention the fact that there's no money involved….seriously stop spreading rumors.
