Joe Rogan: Strange Times

He's not a very good stand up comedian. He's not the worst, but, without his crossover audience of UFC and podcast die-hards he wouldn't be seen as anything other than a slightly below average comedian. His delivery doesn't seem to be polished. He's just yelling most of the time which gets very annoying very fast. And if you've listened to his podcast you've already heard the material. I'm not sure if he's just pandering to his fans or if he really thinks that he's doing original, finely crafted material. At this point I think he's in such a bubble that he isn't really looking at his comedy with an objective lens or taking any kind of negative feedback seriously and all of his comedian friends that are legitimately funny won't give him honest feedback for fear of not being invited onto his podcast which would be a huge hit to them in terms of marketing their own career's.

He uses the "F-word" way too much. Like, it's not always necessary for the joke. It actually takes away from the joke because you're thinking, "My god he's said the F-word 16 times already!" With that being said, his jokes were pretty brilliant. He definitely gave us a funny way of looking at things! If it wasn't for all the constant neverending cussing, I'd give this a 10. He had me and my husband laughing quite a bit and nodding and saying things like, "Well, he's not wrong!" Very entertaining. We watched Russell Brand's new standup the other night, and this was much better. Much, much better.

PS- I don't know if he recycles the material from his podcasts because I don't follow that. So everything I heard was brand new to me.

A solid piece of stand up comedy, Joe likes topics about vegans, animals, presidents and nominees. Just overall a good listen with some subtle underlying points that make you think.

8/10

This show is one hour. Which is a blessing, given the podcast can go up to three hours. The downside: there is no guest.

Firstly I'm a HUGE Joe Rogan fan! I've probably watched half of his podcasts at this point. His previous specials are better IMHO. An average podcast is much more comedic.. I think because it comes from a more relaxed atmosphere. Joes nervous screaming and swearing throughout the special is brutal.. A couple of good bits here and there but I expected WAAAY more.. Certainly after Joe had said that this was his best special. Joe shall forever be a podcasting god not a comic..

Luv u Joe!
