I highly encourage everyone to watch this creator’s previous videos.

Continuing our investigation into how our current comedy era got to be so wonderful. They say that power doesn’t corrupt, it reveals. Once a guy like Joe Rogan, the Comedy Czar, grabs hold of the reins of power, he can wield his power in any number of directions. We examine humanity’s innate instinct to migrate, and where we head when there is nowhere else to go. How can the nature of subjective reality be leveraged and exploited. The complex psychological mechanisms behind the current comedy era. The powerful cult behind the destruction of everything that was ever good. Hyperreality, classic reality. And the cycles.

    This was so good! I think this might be my new favorite channel. He’s hilarious. I’m listening to the Quakering video now and it’s kind of perfect

      How Joe Rogan and his sphere of yes-men comedians were co-opted by billionaires with daddy issues (a recurring theme) to usher in a nation-wide simulacrum where anything can mean anything so techno-feudalists can rule with impunity. It also explores the death of satire and stand-up comedy as an art form, another recurring theme from previous videos.

    Carlos Mencia was funnier than Joe Rogan ever was. Only reason Rogen made it was because of Dana White

      Him hosting fear Fear factor helped his career a lot. So did being one of the favourite characters on News Radio.

      Many people know how from UFC commentary, which you can’t say he doesn’t do a damned good job for that.

      Calling a spade a spade, he is known for a lot more than just UFC and connection to Dana White, as much as that did help him

      Joe Rogan (to me) was “funnier” than Mencia. That’s not saying much.

      spoiler

      I threw up in my mouth a little.
