That's the Reichwing can't lose-lose strategy. In the extreme right, there's no pesky fact-checkers, proofers, editors, clearances, or sourcing. You can't fail. And if the content STILL isn't popular, blame it on cancel culture.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

This is why I stopped watching Joe Rogan after he interviewed Chuck Palahniuk who wrote fight club, so one of the best dark humour writers around and all Joe wanted him to talk about was censorship, but Chuck knows it's no worse now than 2 decades ago and personnally for him as a ga y writer it was actually harder back then. At one point Chuck was telling a story of how he offended someone in an improv class he was at and Joe was like she should get over herself and Chuck a human being with emotions was like no I felt really bad, I tell jokes for people to laugh at, if people get upset especially the people you are telling the joke too, it's not a joke. Chuck was just too intelligent and empathetic for Rogan.

[@boboloko]

I listened to his interview with Anna Lembke. She is a brilliant psychiatrist who specializes in addiction. He kept wanting to steer the conversation away from her points to talk about psychedelics. She handled him brilliantly. She let him have his moments, and then redirected the conversation back into the research and science that really mattered.

[@anthonyrowland9072]

It has to be so disheartening how misunderstood Fight Club was by the exact guys who needed to see it.

[@MasoTrumoi]

​@@williamhornabrook8081Sure, look at half of the UFC. Lots of fit people like to play video games because it's something fun you can do to keep your mind active without having to engage your body. You know, something really great to do after a workout that does the opposite. I'm a martial artist and a gamer. Almost every martial artist I train with who are under 50 play video games semi-regularly. If we stop playing them, it's often because we don't have the time, not because we don't have the desire. Joe Rogan calling gamers lazy is just him being a fucking boomer. He's not unique, he's not funny, he's not original with that comment. He's just being a dick. Fuck Joe Rogan, he sucks.

He is the Tony to Jimmy Pesto... Fitting considering Rogan is conservative lite and Jimmy's voice actor was charged for Jan 6th involvement. He is a "yes man" for those with a plan.

Hey I want to say you make some damn good content. You have very insightful viewpoints/ opinions and you bring attention to very important topics. It’s great to be drunk watching this video of Joe Rogan embracing himself.

Where is Saji Sharma? Coming back here after a while & Saji Sharma has frosted tips.

[@The_Mojave_Mailman]

Joe, like many people who start small and get big, has just lost touch with the pulse of the average dude/dudette

Thats the problem when your whole audience expects Hateful "jokes" against minorities, when your "joke's" aren't Hateful enough for those ghouls they will not laugh

7:31 “Segue to butt stuff” is now gonna feed their AI that as a used heading lol

[@OmegaWeaponX2]

"President of the lake"? Oh god, that was physically painful. I didn't know it was a comedy special for 5 year olds.

NGL I'm a trans man and if a trans comedian said the breastfeeding line it would have been the funniest shit I ever heard.

[@phizzledUP]

[@ZERO_O7X]

When you are near, appear far. When you are weak, appear strong. When you are Rogan, appear to be canceled.

People: "dont go burning bridges!" Sun Tsu: "burn all the bridges"

[@solomons5669]

Rogan is really not funny I honestly don’t get it. How come he’s doing stand up and people pay for it? Can someone explain?

[@Stealth86651]

I dig the Xmas sweater, makes the video comfy kinda. Get like a video of a fireplace and you could be like the Mr. Roger's of comedy criticisms.

[@humemid]

please break down the whole special this is amazing

[@keeppounding51]

This is what happens when you completely sell out to make more money

[@intern_dana]

there's so much here that i can *almost* see what he's going for. like, the president of the lake bit; more than once ive heard other comedians compare alien abduction stories to catch-and-release. however, those other comedians build up to that with at least a short anecdote. they don't just start saying shit

[@Killakekz90]

"you wish you could do something this metal" I love it man! :D

[@Yesunfortunately-r1x]

Look, I agree with the video but... I just think analyzing when Joe walked out was too much... right?

[@MikesOrganicVideos]

I was wondering, if Joe was high on something, based on his eyes, his body movements, and the excessive sweating. Sounds like you’re fairly positive that it was more than just nerves. I bow to your expertise. I am fairly straight edged.
