Can we talk about it on this board?
Or can we only talk about certain parts of it?

It delights me to know I live rent-free in your brain. Daddy gives you permission to discuss.

He's not funny.

One the my gripes with it is that he repeated a joke from a prior special or at least a joke I had heard about before with the joke about getting caught by his wife jerking it. Kind of felt like if you go 6 years between specials, it should all be new material.
Define “new” Is there some cutoff date? Most comics retire their jokes after they are used on a special. Everything else is fair game.
I do find it interesting that he chose to live stream this special.

Just meant new as in not used in a previous special. The wife catching him joke was also a part of Talking Monkeys in Space special.
I understand comics will sometimes play the hits or repeat a bit while on tour, but haven't seen many repeat it on a special.

watched this last night. it was humorous, but kinda an extension of his podcast with more raunchy jokes.
lotta toying around with, i'm not racist, right wing white nationalist homophobe.... but you guys on the left are going too far. which is fine.
chuckled, but there are dozens better out there.
regarding somebody saying earlier saying "being a comedian is harder than becoming a surgeon," what could be said is that "becoming a successful comedian is much harder than being a successful surgeon." There are 10s of thousands of successful surgeons out there. There's probably less than 100 "successful comedians."
Same thing could be said for being a "successful" NFL or NBA player, tennis player, astronaut, wood pattern maker, or clock precision specialists.

He is very politically savvy. Great at visualization comedy related to ridiculous political occurrences.

or Rogan talk about how being a comedian is harder work than becoming a physician.
i mean, by what metric? that's not an unreasonable position, assuming he means "someone who can make a living as a comedian" and not just every jerk off at an open mic night.
edit - looks like 3nOut already made this point. sometimes i reply to a post before reading the rest of the responses.

i am not saying what they do is easy but i loathe the way podcasters will go on and on about stand up. Particularly ones that aren't great stand-ups like Rogan
it is a me problem because I spend too much time in the car and need something mindless to listen too.

i agree, it does get a bit tiresome hearing over and over variations on the same ol stories about life in the trenches as a comedian trying to make it. but a lot of these podcasters are guys that have been stand-up comedians themselves (to varying levels of success) and they're often interviewing other comedians. they talk about what they know, and what they have in common.
i'm a Marine. if i ever have a podcast (i wont) and bring another Marine on, there's about a 100% chance that the majority of the conversation will be about shite we did in the Marines. it's just human nature.
but i agree - the "that time in '92 when i totally bombed at the Cellar" stories get very repetitive.

agreed on both counts. i'm terminally online for my job AND i drive 30k miles a year for work related purposes so i do a LOT of podcasts.
i can enjoy Rogan when he has interesting people talking about things i know nothing about, but i skip over most comedians and MMA podcasts.
only comedians i will listen to are Schultz and Dillon because i think they're both pretty hilarious at off the cuff riffing. I've started and not finished a few PoPs, but they can be funny.
one thing i'll add about the comedians he has on there... i listened to Ari Schaffer (who i do not think is that funny) on Tucker Carlson (who i do not listen to very often) because i thought that was an interesting combo.
people are gravitated to Rogan because he treats his comedian friends so well AND going on his show will launch you. Ari talked about how Joe was mid-tier comedian and would feed all his openers every night and was paying double what anybody else was for openers in the 90s and 00s. even something as cheap as $4 slice of pizza, nonetheless nice meals he would pay for EVERY night on the road because he knew he was making X more than any of the guys following him around. Ari said that it's not a bunch of sycophants, it's people who him know that he treats his people exceptionally well and is a loyal friend.

i think that he can go on the podcast of or have on his own, Rogan, PBD, Krystal and Saagar, Harry Sisson, Tucker, Megyn Kelly, etc. and remain absolutely hilarious and as informed as the people he's on with is a rare rare talent. never misses a beat.
and the dude totally isn't gay no matter what he says.

the Fly on the Wall podcast with Carvey and Spade is kind of the same way, except they are funnier than Rogan. but man - it seems like virtually every podcast ends up being a walk down memory lane about their early stand-up, the early days at SNL, Farley, and Norm. to be clear, i love all of those things - but it's just so repetitive. i still like their show, but i just sprinkle it in with other stuff every now and then vice listening to every episode.
but that said, i do have some empathy for them. they are at the end of their careers (some of their guests are approaching the ends of their lives), and they enjoy the nostalgia of reflecting on their lives and an era of comedy that is pretty much gone for good. i mean it's not like anyone HAS to listen.

He never stopped doing standup.
Most people don't stop their hobbies once filthy rich. They go deeper, and try to make everyone believe this is who they are. When we all know, they made their money doing something else, because no one would make them rich at their hobby.

I'm not familiar with the talking monkeys special, so I'll take your word for it. I wonder if Rogan just forgot he had used it before, because has talked about retiring jokes after specials many times on his podcast.

Spot on. It was decent. Some parts made me laugh, some didn't.

This.
I find his guests entertaining, and he asks some good questions, but when he's alone he's just not funny.

Haven’t seen it yet but all the other stand up from him I’ve ever seen pretty much sucks. He's a great interviewer and a terrible comedian.
Posted on 8/6/24 at 10:49 pm to TailbackU
I wouldn't say terrible but certainly Joe has never been a great comedian. He did accidentally find the role that he was better suited for: podcaster. He really almost popularized the genre of media.
And it probably disappears at some point.
Howard Stern, for all of his flaws and eccentric behavior, was entertaining and interesting because of his perceived authenticity. Human nature being what it is? I think Joe will likely lose his grounding and become unlikable eventually. He's most likeable when he just serves as a Socratic foil and asks questions. When he attempts to be the expert his everyman approach is lost.
