So apparently the GOAT comedian Joe Rogan has a new Netflix special.
I didn’t even try to watch it, because the previous was so terrible but I did come across this yt video yesterday and I think that it sums it up pretty nicely:



Does any of you actually like his comedy?

Joe's alright. People acting like his specials so bad they caused them pain are being dramatic. Threads about comedians get crazy where even the very best of all time have people that will insist they aren't funny and talking standup is almost never worth it.... but the hate he gets is silly and unwarranted
 
He used to say some funny shit on his podcast occasionally.

Not a huge fan of his comedy. His previous last two specials were ok, he was starting to get alright.

Prior to that he was very bad.

He is cursed with interests in offbeat subjects and a love of Sam Kinison that sees him yelling all the time. I think he could get better but he has 'fuck you' money so I guess he doesn't need to if he doesn't want to.

His most recent one wasn't particularly funny either. I watched it last week and remember nothing about it.

I don't hate Rogan either, unlike many on the board.

That review was not kind at all, ripped his special to shreads.

Never considered Joe funny, witty-yes, but in no way a comedian.

The little bit of the special shown was sad. Only his facial expressions rocked.

Joe's age is showing, never noticed him looking, umm, so aged.

Seems like that damn Father Time showed up early.

He was funny playing the stupid guy on news radio but I think they just told him to go out there and be himself.

Ok I tried, but I only made it halfway through.
The silence is deafening in some spots, and he really doesn't feel like he worked this material out in the clubs.

It falls flat on its face and you can see in his eyes that he knows it sir.
Only so many times you can scream before I tune out.

I give it 2 out of 5 stars and that's being generous.
 
I enjoyed it.

You can't go into comedy as a skeptic. If you're like "Rogan sucks, this probably won't be funny." Then your brain will stop you from laughing at any of it.

I sat down with a buddy and drank scotch which while we watched it with an open mind and we laughed quite a bit.

He's no Louis CK or Dave Chappelle. He's not even as good as Adrienne Iapalucci. But he's still good.

I said in the other Rogan-bashing thread that he's on par with Tom Segura for me. Not the best, but you don't feel like your time was wasted.

That youtube video is horrible. He's taking everything Joe says literal and really breaking it down? Who the fuck does that for a comedy special?

I think Segura is better but I've thought Rogans specials have always been good enough for me to at least watch it all the way through. There's a bunch of specials that I got 15-20 mins in and just turned off. The Matt Rife one I really tried but man it was just bad.

I would say that he actually had some good stuff in there, a couple of bits that could be funnier but his delivery is too rushed, too loud, and his tone is too earnes6 and eager..
He’d be better with comedic pauses, more irony, tempering his mood, way less yelling. Even Kinision’s yells had a contrast with an initially calm setup.
 
It just seems like he keeps going over the same tired topics as he has been in previous specials… he needs to come up with something new. Also his standup has always been very heavy on complaining about various topics. If I wanted to listen to old people complaining I’d go talk to my in-laws
