In 2012, Cook caused a minor controversy when a joke he made in a comedy club about the [[2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting]] was recorded and made the headlines.{{blockquote|So I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into the movie. And I don't know if you've seen the movie, but the movie is pretty much a piece of crap… Yeah, spoiler alert. And I know that if none of that would have happened, I'm pretty sure that somebody in that theater, about 25 minutes in, realizing it was a piece of crap, probably was like, 'Ugh fucking shoot me.'|Dane Cook|title=|source=}}He later apologized on Twitter: "I am devastated by the recent tragedy in Colorado & did not mean to make light of what happened.
