Joe Rogan: Rocky Mountain High

The first stand-up comedy I saw from him was Joe Rogan: Live from 2006. That show was filmed badly but I did enjoy his performance nonetheless. In Rocky Mountain High the filming improved a lot and looks much more professional. Like the first show I watched it starts a bit slow, but it gets much better towards the end. I think Joe Rogan needs a little warm-up and once he's at his speed he's unstoppable. His jokes are never obvious, it's rarely what you think it will be. He has a broad and vivid imagination, must think a lot about the essential things of life when he's stoned and comes up with funny stories. I enjoyed Rocky Mountain High even more than the first show but I get it that it's not for everyone. Not everyone has the same sense of humor and that's fine. If you didn't like him before you won't like him now, but I do and I will definitely watch his other stand-up comedies.

Rogan consistently has good material, but the extremely aggressive yelling is sorta discomfiting. And no doubt he would yell at me for saying this, something like, "Who #@$& cares, if you can't handle me getting loud over this, then do not effing watch me!"

Ironically, I am a lot like him in that I get really animated whenever I talk, almost always, about anything. And my friends and strangers alike mistake this for me being upset, and I often get, "Why are you yelling? I'm right here!" and "Lower your voice, for godsakes!" But I'm not hypocritical. I would rate any special or show I did a few points lower if I couldn't contain my unnecessary high decibels!

Some excellent bits on Bigfoot, weed, and why we should be paranoid (the sun!). Entertaining imitations of vegans- not all of them, that ten percent that shoves it in everyone else's faces and flaunts it like a trophy that makes them better than everyone else- we all know them! Truths be told regarding the difference between women knowing gay guys- friends, and men knowing lesbians- "hmmm, only because you haven't had this glorious dick in you!". Obligatory "Fear Factor" shout-out.

Good show, if only tuned down several notches.

Joe Rogan is so unfunny they actually had to add a laugh tack to this show! Not kidding.

The audience pretty much sits there wondering when the bugs and intestines are gonna come out.
