Joe Rogan: Triggered

A Joe Rogan stand-up comedy special filmed at the Fillmore in San Francisco in 2016.

Great stand-up comedy routine from Joe Rogan. Covers some topical and everyday domestic issues with some hilariously off-beat observations. Incredibly intense and refreshingly un-PC.

I didn't know who Joe Rogan was prior to finding "Triggered" on Netflix by browsing the stand-up comedy collection.

I decided to give it a chance based on the short synopsis that was given. But it turned out that Joe Rogan's particular style of comedy and his jokes were not really suitable with what I liked, and I wasn't particularly entertained or impressed with what I saw here.

Joe Rogan did have some good jokes here and there, but they were just far in between for my liking.

I enjoyed the part with the sleeping impressions, when he was lurched on the chair, and that was my favorite part of the entire show.

I can't claim to have been spurred on to seek out more of his shows of he has any though.

Unfortunately isn't funny. He yells all the time. That's not funny. It's stolen. He isn't Sam Kinnison. Although he thinks he is. He's a poser, and it has caught up with him. No matter how many times he claims to be a very funny comedian, he just isn't, not even close. Sure there will be some weirdos who like him no matter what because of the right wing conspiracy's he says non stop on his podcast, but people are on to him. He's like a Jenner now, he's so rich that people pretend to like him. It's embarrassing. He sucks, ever see a very short man hump a bar stool?? Wow!! Hilarious!! While he's screaming and grunting?

What Joe Rogan did here was very, very brave.

Joe Rogan opens every joke with laying out a verbal minefield for himself. Every time he starts a new joke I find myself saying "uh-oh" out loud, and by the end of every joke he has successfully managed to maneuver out of the minefield with humor and a valid point.

I do myself strongly agree with him on some points and others not so much, but when i see past his showmanship i can see that there is a strong case behind his opinions.

This made me laugh very much, but i'm not giving it a 10/10 purely because of the jokes. This routine is admirable because he dared discuss some of the most touchy subjects, in the most uncompromising way, in front of a large audience. 10/10 for bravery.

Joe Rogan is a special kind of stand-up comedian. Many try to copy the work of others, steal jokes and emulate a greater performer, but with Joe you can instantly tell he's just being himself, carrying out his own brand of wacky, almost eccentric comedy and it's a joy to watch on screen.

He takes you on an adventure with his unusual outlook on subjects and questions what would happen in insane situations, all while making you burst with laughter.

I've watched Joe for 15+ years, First his early days in the UFC, then his great stand-up routines and latterly in his wonderful Joe Rogan Podcast, but this has to be one of the best performances the man has ever put on.

Overall one of the most impressive comedy specials I've seen and Joes unique brand of stand up is a wonder to witness. Incredibly funny, informative, opinionated and all this while taking you on a wild journey through the mind of a comedic madman, what more could you ask for.
