No. Comedians most definitely do tell jokes. Jokes are what make comedy, um, funny. It may come across as a story or insight or what have you, but everything about that story is carefully calculated to garner a specific reaction, i.e. laughter. Setup --> Punchline --> hahahahaha. That is a joke. Dane Cook does not have those. He has meandering stories that don't really go anywhere. He says "dude" and "brah" a lot, and gesticulates wildly. That is all.
