Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats

Repeated jokes from 15 years ago, the great samurai has crafted the ultimate special. Why be funny when you can shout like your favorite comedian? Nerves got to this titan, he's been in his echo chamber for too long. Out of touch AF. Just came to help support. Open your eyes and start listening to what used to be your fans.

I really hope people call him out for taking jokes and reminding him about his assassination of CM. What a joke to call yourself a comedian when you add zero jokes to any appearances. Everything goes over his thumb of a head.

Plus he never even touched the stool!! He needs a big dose of the truth.

In a recent interview Joe Rogan was asked the fairly typical and predictable entertainment industry question, what inspired you to make this new special? Joe's response was.anything but typical but to anyone who has listened to Joe's view on his own comedy, it was predictable.

Joe went on to complain about the lack of real comedy in today's PC world, the lack of comics who are brave enough to stand up to Cancel Culture, Joe also lamented that if freedom of speech was to be saved the silent majority needed a voice, a strong voice to stand up against...them. Joe then said that he sees himself as the new Bill Hicks!

Big shoes to fill.

After watching Rogans new special i can honestly and confidently say that Joe is not the "new Bill Hicks". Joe is in fact the opposite of Bill, in every way possible. Without going into a detailed review of Burn The Boats it would serve you well to know, if you enjoy anything about BH, you will not enjoy Burn The Boats or Joe Rogan.

Joe Rogan is not a comic.

What a let down. I don't think Joe Rogan is an actual stand up comedian (anynmore? Was he ever any good?) as the entire 'special' was unfunny. I was awaiting this special since announcement as I thought it would at least deliver some good laughs. In sum: It didin't.

The material seemed recycled, lacking fresh perspectives or originality. Overall, it didn't deliver the laughs expected from Rogan. Fans might find a few moments to enjoy, but it's not his best work. This 'special' felt more like Joe Rogan going through the motions rather than actually delivering am emergetic and funny comedy special.

The title should be 'Burn the Bridges' as I doubt he'll be making any more stand-up specials anytime soon after this bomb.

I've been a fan of Rogan for years, from FF to his UFC commentating, the podcast (less now that there are so many political characters there) and I can remember in the past thinking he was pretty funny. I dunno if I have changed or if it's more than Joe is completely out of touch. This was significantly below par for the level he professes himself to be. Or any comic rather, which is consistently funny. I didn't chuckle more than twice. Literally a squirrel is funnier just living its life. Someone needs to give Joe the same talk he gave Schuab. Stick to what you are good at, and let the pros do this.

I've enjoyed past Rogan specials, as well as seeing him live at Massey Hall and other venues in Toronto. You expect a certain amount of meathead nonsense and conspiracy talk which may or may not be genuine. But the thing I've always found grating has now become a constant in this show: yelling everything as though he doesn't have a microphone. I know that's how the show is going to start, along with the cheap pandering to San Antonio but it just never lets up and it becomes draining. And the ratio of actual laughs to applause breaks - excluding the times he solicits it by referencing his move to Texas, Fear Factor, the podcast, is not going in the right direction.

I realize that not giving a glowing review if this will result in the usual nonsense of having labels hurled but I'm not even American, so save it.

There are some funny bits but overall, it's just a lot of energy to try and sell the bits as being funnier than they are.
