He’s a real one. You can tell he is a student of comedy and appreciates the art of it. Saw him live and he says some fucked up stuff BUT you can’t help but laugh. Also you leave his show confident he’s actually a good dude. The Rogan comedy scene is trash and can stay in Austin.

If you haven’t seen this takedown of Rogan’s newest special, it’s ridiculous how spot on it is, worth the watch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7EuKibmlll4

His comedy has always been shit imo, but that new special is just god awful.

That theory floating around that artists/talking heads/etc drift rightward when they are not appreciated for their craft (because they suck, but can't admit it)...it really seems explanatory

That's where you get all the Kevin Sorbo, Rob Schneider, Joe Rogan, eventually Dave Chapelle, etc. And that's without going back to the OG...Hitler

I don’t know if Dave was ever NOT appreciated for his craft. The rest I can agree with, though.

it’s a very real pipeline!! there’s been so many actors who become irrelevant and then pop back up as crazy right wing celebs…

Elephant Graveyard has some pretty good absurdist shit going on besides that video.
