Joe Rogan can fuck right off for all the reasons. But first let’s jam some dirty gym socks in his mouth to shut him the fuck up.

Are you sure that weirdo won’t get off on that?

Roughly quoting Jay Mohr from his recent interview on Bobby Lee’s Tigerbelly podcast:
"How Joe Rogan became the arbiter of what is funny is beyond me… all the times Joe Rogan has made us laugh… "
Joe Rogan has gotta be one of the least funny “comedians” in the game at the moment. I wish his relevancy would’ve peaked with Fear Factor.

What’s funny is that I genuinely didn’t know he was a comedian until reading your post. I always knew him as some Alex Jones tier Podcaster.

I don’t really hear about Rogan very often any more. Thank Buddha. But it blows my mind that he’s still super popular. The average person sucks.
- BruceTwarzen ( @BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee ) 7•1 month ago
I only really knew one of his stand up routines and thought it was alright for what it was. I learned about his podcast and that it was supposedly good, but i had no way of listening to it. Then it was on Spotify and i listened to the bob lazar episode and ho-ly, no idea how he ever got popular AT ALL. I have more understanding for people who listen to Ben Shapiro

Rogan’s entire career was predicated on the normalisation of reactionary right-wing beliefs/prejudices. He was the motte to the bailey of the Thiels and Bannons, easing perfectly normal dudes along the path, one casual joke at the expense of minorities at a time. And for a while it worked, to the point where Spotify bet the company on him. And then, the word “weird” entered the discourse, and people realised that casual cruelty and obsessing about strangers’ genitals weren’t the time-honoured values of a silent majority.
It would suck to be holding Spotify shares right now.

They gave him another stand up special? I haven’t seen the new one but his old standup is awful. Seriously some of the most unfunny shit ever from an established television personality.
- orcrist ( @orcrist@lemm.ee ) 13•1 month ago
We don’t need to care about him. Bad comedians with shitty world views are a dime a dozen. He’s famous because he communicates well and not because his ideas are worth attention or respect.
- arefx ( @arefx@lemmy.ml ) 6•1 month ago
Actually he got famous for making people eat animal testicle for money, that’s what made him a household name.

It’s not a weird competition!
Everyone can be weird in their own way… just some should never be in charge of anything ever…
- OldWoodFrame ( @OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee ) 3•1 month ago
Using “weird” about a comedian actually risks the whole gambit IMO. You start calling everyone weird, maybe it’s just you who is the unusual person calling everyone who disagrees with you weird.
The whole point of the attack is that the weird people are not acceptable elected officials. Keep it to people who are trying to get elected.
- ArcaneSlime ( @ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 6•1 month ago
Imo it isn’t great anyway. I’m fucking weird, and I’ve been working my whole life to turn “weird” into a good thing rather than something for 90s bullies to use to call you retarded (along with retarded itself). In 6mo “weird” is going to be synonymous with “nazi.” Austin TX is gonna have to change their slogan lol.

I thought it was a bad comedy special but it’s just wild the amount of hate I’ve seen for him and it. Like we already knew he had no idea what he was talking about on Covid, he admits as such (standard “don’t listen to a comedian for that” take that he and Jon Stewart trot out all the time). You could see it as his surrender on the topic. People seem to be taking it more as a “he’s still talking about it.”
