Impressions just aren't my thing. He's really good at them but that alone doesn't make him funny. I think most of his stuff he does while doing impressions is pretty lackluster.
I'm also just way more into more brash comedians like Frankie Boyle, Doug Stanhope and Louis CK. I love Carlin too he was amazing. I don't know, to me the impressions sometimes comes off as searching for cheap laughs. I know that it can seem like Louis CK also goes for cheap laughs sometimes but I just like that style of stand up way better.

Also, I don't really like Rogan as a comedian and he's rarely very funny on his podcast although I do listen to it a lot.
Rogan just yells until people laugh. Very very few of his jokes are clever any way.
watch his latest special, Rocky Mountain High and see if you still feel that way. if you do, you're wrong :P
That was 5 minutes n of exactly what I meant

I chuckled when he said that people who get cancer from milk are pussies and I kinda liked the part about vegans because the way he explains 'em is kinda how the one I know is.

It was funny, just hours after watching the special, I randomly saw someone in an interview or reality show or something say "we're the only animals that drink the milk of another species", and I thought about Rogan's rant on how moronic that argument is.

I have heard those jokes a million times
People have been giving cats milk since before I was born
It's been in Tom and Jerry I'm pretty sure
This isn't clever stuff at all but he did yell it and therefore it's funny right?

In all fairness Nate, it's the same with almost every form of art or entertainment. If you've lived long enough and paid attention to the past forms and the modern forms then nothing is new. Everything is being regurgitated by the younger generations.

But if someone can present it in a unique and refreshing way I won't mind. But I don't see Rogan doing that. He's the male version of Kathy Gifford (sp?) who stole her whole act from Joan Rivers.

I laughed my ass off at Rogan's bit about girls liking to be around gay guys, but how they'd run for the hills if they ever were confronted with gay porn. on the other hand, a man walking in on two lesbians would be like seeing a deer in your backyard...."no sudden movements, I'm nice....." LOL

That would be fine if he didn't attack carlos Mencia for using similar bits to other comedians and doing stock humor. That makes me look at your material when you do that and guess what I see? Subsophomoric regurgitated jokes.

I'm with you 100% on that. Joe should shaddup about the joke stealing.

I completely disagree. Carlos Mencia is an admitted copycat. I've never heard anyone call Rogan a thief before.

Not saying he stole just that he does very easy stock humor, which is what was in the Mencia video above. It's not clever. Also the joke in the video has been told for years before that. I heard a version from my dad, which I'm sure he heard somewhere else, in high school. Robin Williams did the same thing but you guys loved him so much you gave him a thread.

In any case carlos can be quite funny.

that Mencia clip is hilarious I'll give you that. I thought the latest Bill Burr special was way too long, but it did have some great moments. Burr has one of the most likeable qualities which translates into comedy almost effortlessly.

So far I haven't heard one joke from Rogan that made me laugh. He's just shouting like he's upset about stuff but it doesn't feel real.
