he has this very specifc, drawling, annoying tone of voice exclusive to his standup and it sucks hard. its hard to tell if he is sober while doing it - and his jokes blow ass. some of them aren't even jokes but rants about politics and marriage trying to be comedy. ugh.

Yeah I don't consider him a comedian. He's the equivalent of a Howard Stern.

All his jokes involve trying to put on funny voices and he just seems like an angry bald man.

i wonder if anyone has told rogan this. he keeps on doing the same style of comedy for years and every comedian on his podcast doesn't bring it up.

I think it's one of those things where he keeps selling out giant theaters so he assumes people like it

I hate that he has shitty people on his podcast and lets them be shitty without calling them out. he's really just giving them a platform that they don't need or deserve

There seems to be a general fearfulness of giving someone a chance to explain their viewpoint (as opposed to having someone else explain it for them), I'm not sure I understand it. I say let shitty people get it all out in plain English and then we can decide from there what to make of their opinions.

What alternative would you suggest, I don't see how "I find that person distasteful, they shouldn't be allowed a platform" works in any way.

Yeah, his standup is really bad. His podcast is ok, depending on the guest.

I get this impression too. He seems to agree with whatever his guests say...unless they're against weed. That's like the one thing that fires him up.

Richard Spencer is a household name because he's been heavily protested. I didn't know who this guy was until 2 years ago when he popped up in the news every week due to a new protest.

1) There's a chasm of difference between an actual "let's exterminate everyone but white people" nazi and the kind of people of questionable moral fibre on joe rogan's show
2) him saying he's winning is not an indication that he actually is. Remember this guy is a populist, and a liar, and a downright awful human being.

I don't think we should point the finger at joe rogan when people say stupid shit on his show, basically. If I asked you to tell me what you think about X, it's not my responsibility for anything you say.

Him getting socked in the face put him in the limelight for me. Was quite happy never giving him a single website click until that happened.
