Joe Rogan: Talking Monkeys in Space

"Joe Rogan is a comedian? I thought he was just that loud guy from Fear Factor." - A lot of people before they saw 'Talking Monkeys in Space.'

Joe Rogan's stand-up is very impressive and well-thought-out, and it's honest. Joe covers topics like marijuana, gay marriage, evolution, sex scandals, Dr. Phil, and masturbation in a very well-structured way. Every part of his performance ultimately deals with the strangeness of human nature. He doesn't have an act or a persona. He just spouts his deepest, craziest thoughts and opinions in a blunt, reality-check style, and the result is a profoundly hilarious speech. Joe Rogan is an unexpectedly intelligent comedian and isn't afraid to speak his mind.

Joe, you're just not funny. I'm sorry buddy- but this standup was really weak. I've seen him do better. This was just average or below average.

I had no idea Joe was so damn funny. There are few comics anymore who possess both humor AND originality. Joe is one of them. He comes off as honest, intelligent and funny as hell at the same time. Not a lot of comics make me laugh out loud. That's why I decided to give Joe some props here. It's been a while since I've seen some really good stand up. A lot of comics follow the same old rehashed, formulaic routines from way back when, and they do a half ass job at it. I would compare Joe's originality to the likes of George Carlin or Bill Hicks. These guys would make you laugh your ass off, yet at the same time, make you think. They were sharp, told it like it was and absolutely could not care any less about offending anyone with the truth. I would definitely recommend watching this. I don't see how anyone wouldn't enjoy it.
