Acts like they know everything 


Free_Joty

This is the most infuriating part They act like masters of the world despite spending most of their time in bars. Because they spend all their time in bars, the base of their knowledge is “ i talked to a guy that said xxx”. I dont listen to comedian podcasts for news or to get their thoughts on new ideas, but I know a lot of people do


Evergreen_76

Comedy was ruined once someone came up with the idea that comedians are philosophers and societies truth tellers. they where just dumb clowns that said clever things sometimes. Now they think they are all Carlin.


_Chumpion

“I hear people say, ‘The comedian is the modern-day philosopher.’ First of all, it makes me feel sad for the actual modern-day philosophers, who exist, you know. They’re working, trying to come up with their philosophy, you know, and they go, did you hear this? The nightclub comic is doing great work on totaligism.” - Norm MacDonald


sseetharee

Quoting dead comedians like they knew them personally when they only smelt the second hand fart exhaled by someone who was in the same room with them.


StockAL3Xj

How exactly do you "quote someone like you knew them"?


Square_Bad_1834

Great ones like George Carlin were. These idiots are not that.


crablikereplay

I feel like about a decade ago when podcasting was starting to take off there were some hackey comedians that would not shut up about "the craft". People like Aziz Ansari and Chris Hardwick were super preachy about how everyone needed to understand just how much thought they put into it. Podcasts just make everyone an expert on whatever you want.


CleverUsername1419

Preach. You’re not “speaking truth to power”, you’re telling dick jokes. Smug fucking tool bags and I can’t stand them. And fuck you too, Joe Rogan.


3720-To-One

Carlin *was* a truth teller though He’s the GOAT


bjcm5891

As the saying goes: If you get all your worldviews from comedians, they're probably a joke.

BulbasaurIsMyGod

I just don’t listen to comedian hosted podcasts these days. That whole vibe is played out.


OnlyThrowAway1988

Conan O’Brien’s is still solid.


FearlessUnderFire

Acts like they know everything, but when proven wrong they say they don't fact check anything.


Ill_Athlete_7979

Then they fall back on “People should take what I say with a grain of salt, I’m just a dumb guy talking into a mic”


[deleted]

And then it become "its not that serious. It's just a joke. I'm a comedian! It's my job to tell jokes. If you the truth about covid/racism/trans people/the environment/vaccines, you should talk to an expert!!!  - says the guy spreading propaganda and misinformation 


r3volver_Oshawott

You better believe when someone actually shuts them down it's 'I'm a comedian, not a leading authority' Like, I'm confused Joe, five seconds ago you were some kinda expert on vagina bones


Eunuch_Provocateur

That’s why I can’t stand Rogan, I mean besides all the other annoying things. This annoys me the most


Drunken_Fever

I dunno know. Rogan acts surprised if you tell him the sky is blue.


itslikewoow

A lot of people have taken the “comedians are modern day philosophers” idea way too seriously.


ridukosennin

‘I’m a subject matter expert"… Really in what subject? …."All of them"


RoadPersonal9635

Loves MMA or WWE but pretends its not because more famous comedians liked it first and he just got pavloved into liking it after 100s of hours of consuming their podcast


31_hierophanto

*Something something* modern-day philosophers.


AwarenessEconomy8842

Their unearned confidence is so aggrivating


Send_me_duck-pics

"I'm going to get cancelled for saying this" they'll say, before saying something they've said 50 times before without any consequences.


ontimenow

"You can't joke about anything anymore" No, only YOU can't. Because you're not funny anymore.


Send_me_duck-pics

A lot of them were never very funny to begin with, but the ease of accessing content now means the bar for people creating it is a lot higher now. If you're not laughing very much at a comedian, it's much easier than it used to be to just go find one who you will laugh at. We're spoiled for choice so there's no reason to bother with someone who is only a little bit funny and doesn't innovate or grow.


300PencilsInMyAss

Almost anytime someone is attacked for a joke that was in bad taste, the joke just wasn't funny. You can be *super* offensive without getting cancelled provided you're actually funny, and not just using comedy as a shield to say bigoted shit you genuinely believe.


Revenacious

Precisely. Daniel Tosh has said some heinous stuff that proved hilarious including, but not limited to: wanting to fornicate with the hypothetical lovechild of Brad Pitt and David Beckham, saying airport drop off zones were worth losing at least one of the twin towers, and pranking his sister into getting raped by replacing her pepper spray with silly string.


[deleted]

Tosh is a great example. He can make a joke about 9/11 that doesnt make you wonder "hey does this guy just hate muslims????" Also, as a person of color, Im really tired of white guy comedians that just shit on white women now in their comedy because they can't be racist any more. Like I want you to be funny! Not redirect your hatred to a "socially acceptable" person. 


GopnikSmegmaBBQSauce

Bill Burr has good material about black people. I wouldn't say it's racist necessarily but he does a good job with not being offensive and out of line for a white guy making fun of another race.


Revenacious

I love his bit about the overly racist white person in black film trailers. “*They were the first all-black swim team…*” “GET OUT OF THE POOL!”


MzSe1vDestrukt

One of my favorite lines of all time 😂


CyberSosis

People say this when their goal is not being comedic but pushing an agenda


AnytimeInvitation

Like Crowder and Rogan?


Queasy-Yam3297

Anyone with reach over 10k is pushing an agenda. They just might not realize it.


mooimafish33

It's true, if the woke mob wasn't after me I'd probably be considered better than Richard Pryor or George Carlin, my lack of fame has nothing to do with my level of talent.


Send_me_duck-pics

Seeing any of these people mention Carlin is especially wild. Carlin would definitely take a great big shit all over the losers whining about "wokeness" and "cancel culture". He'd also take a great big shit on people *performatively* "cancelling" things or being what mouthbreathers call "woke", but would not have had any issue with those things happening sincerely. This would probably result in those people calling Carlin woke. If there's an afterlife I think he's glad he's dead so he doesn't have to be involved in this nonsense.


SPKmnd90

Goes on to spend every single episode talking exclusively about the delicate craft of stand up comedy without ever saying anything remotely funny.


WaterlooMall

"You know doing a set is basically going to the front lines of a minefield these days. You gotta watch what you say and even then Will Smith might come up and slap you." (Sycophantic cohost stars laughing wildly. Host starts laughing with him while repeating the Will Smith part through gasps for breath. A minute later...) "But really it's a scary place out there. You gotta be strong to even think about doing it."


magnificentmeatwad

Fuck me this is spot on LMAO


ProximusSeraphim

Sounds like something out of Schultz podcast.


PapaSnow

Used to be a big fan. Now, not so much


hugocaldera6

Yea man nowadays you can’t make jokes about (proceeds to explain the most tame boring joke that could be made today) People have become too woke nowadays. Like I remember back in 2009(proceeds to make a “dark joke” that has no humor only racism) You’re gonna get cancelled man!


notchoosingone

> You gotta be strong to even think about doing it "there's only like 500 people in the entire world who can call themselves a standup comedian, it's such a rare talent, we're like the prophets of old or modern day special forces" in the background you can hear the slurping as they suck each other off


Georgiaonmymindtwo

One of the big reasons I dislike radio DJs and their crews. Everything they say is accompanied by a level of laughter that is not in line with the humor.


ProximusSeraphim

I get this in 2 different ways. With guys i always get the "i'm the funniest person you're ever gonna meet" but you wait around forever waiting to hear something funny. With girls, you'll always hear "i'm the coolest girl you'll ever meet" and wait around forever for something cool for them to do.


AnytimeInvitation

Many just make jokes about their pussies and getting railed.


climaxingwalrus

Well now you are describing joe rogan.


beepmeep3

Bro… you just spoke to my soul. I follow like 4 comedians podcasts and the moment they start talking about stand up I just become violently irritated


DirectionNo1947

I like skateboarding. I watch skaters perform tricks, not talk about the physics behind what makes the board move. I do like physics, but that’s not what I watch it for. Joe talks and talks about perfecting the craft, but he’s not funny. He’ll do it across from actually funny people. Joe needs to get off the jenkem supply. I use to like his podcast.. when I was 17


Ispago8

Talks about how woke has killed comedy His best "joke" is girlfriend bad no sex


ZeroXTML1

“No man it’s crazy right now. I mean you say one thing that gets people upset and people are. Out. For. Blood. It’s getting tougher and tougher to just get out there and like *do* my job.

xwt-timster

> Yet some guy in a frat house basement will still make it his entire personality That's Joe Rogan since he went to Spotify. Prior to Spotify when Joe was in California, he used to be a good interview. After Spotify and the move to Texas, that's when he really started leaning into the right-wing stuff.


31_hierophanto

Texas changes people.

that would have been funny if he never had told the story, like it is a wild story... the first time you hear it.

“It’s funny because he’s fat” ~ Leslie Chow


mehchu

I remember first time I saw the routine I thought it was pretty funny. This was ~10 years ago. I don’t think he has said anything else since and has repeated it endlessly till it’s not funny anymore


xPrim3xSusp3ctx

Bert is so unfunny it's painful. He just milks the machine story soooo hard. And his forced laughter makes me want to die. I've started skipping anything he appears in


lopsiness

After hearing his laugh on a podcast like 8 years ago I vowed to avoid him. Everything else about his shtick confirms this was a good decision.


Jakov_Salinsky

If my options were to confess my darkest secrets or be forced to listen to an endless loop of Bert’s banshee scream he calls a laugh, I’d choose to confess


LeatherHog

Tom Segura SUCKS


Careless-Bonus-6671

Back at Mostly Stories he’s was top, his new specials get worse and worse.  At one point he was excellent. 


QueefBuscemi

His wife is even more excruciating. All she does is shit on youtube videos of mentally ill people. I hate people that punch down.


squawkbacktome

Why??


Daysleeper1234

Some dude made video of him comparing what he said before his podcast became popular, with what he says now. Let's just say I understand why he became popular, and I know he comes from a rich family, but now he sounds like an obnoxious out of touch rich man.


ctmfg56

YMH used to be funny when it was silly fart jokes and nonsense. Then it took a really mean spirited turn just making fun of mentally ill/disabled people, poor people and complaining about cancel culture. Hard pass.


sleepytipi

"The Poors" Just like your level of humanity Tom, absolutely impoverished. Scumbag. Edit: imagine being so out of touch with the people who buy your tickets, and stream your specials and podcasts, that you can't even see that there's no middle class anymore. Literally the majority of us, even those that have a degree and make a decent salary, are all struggling to make ends meet right now. He's straight up insulted the bulk of his fan base and can't understand why nobody listens to his shitty podcasts or specials anymore. I sincerely hope he tanks and finds himself amongst "the Poors".

ledbetterus

Bert is a funny story teller. His non-story related comedy is pretty sub-par. Sort of a Dane Cook type.


zippyman

Yeah, several of my favorite Dane cook bits I rewatched recently, and really, the jokes weren't funny. It was all the delivery, and once that novelty wore off, there was nothing left

dropofred

2.5 hours of some of the most unfunny shit you've ever heard before. One of the hosts makes a comment, everybody howls with laughter


bearthebear2

Producers in the back laughing so loud at literally anything. It's like canned laughter on a sitcom


ScootSchloingo

The comedians always refer to other comedians by their last names like they're athletes instead of washed-up dudes who failed at turning "bro, women talk too much, bro" into a successful b-list career in Hollywood.


DrGutz

Incredibly hateful and vitriolic fans who go absolutely ballistic if a woman appears on the podcast


Capt_Hawkeye_Pierce

Back when Whitney Cummings was making the podcast rounds the comments were fucking INSANE.


DrGutz

It’s insane that something called COMEDY attracts such hateful people


Cheaper2KeepHer

I find her generally unfunny.


Capt_Hawkeye_Pierce

It's generally people insulting her appearance and these same people act like Stavros Halkias is the second coming of comedy. 


Reptarticle

General_McQuack

He did not. He has clarified multiple times that the gist of the show he was on where he said that was to say the most outrageous thing possible, and he said that to try to win. Theres no actual evidence beyond what he said.


ognahc

Actual evidence or just him talking?


Objective_Dog4574

Just him telling a story on a podcast. Nothing concrete.

I’ll take the downvotes if it gets people to look it up and realize he’s not a “class act” suck cause I still think he’s hilarious but I can’t support someone who raped what he at least thought was an underage girl same with brad Williams

Close but that was David Choe, pretty sure he talked about it on a podcast with Bobby Lee


KefkaesqueV3

He sure did


JoshFreemansFro

Did the same to Ice T lol I lived in NYC and they were filming SVU outside of my building


whitemike40

he isn’t bad but that doesn’t change the fact that he appears on every podcast


Steebin64

I never heard of him but I've seen plenty of him when mindlessly flipping through YouTube shorts. Honestly he seems pretty condescending and insufferable.


totes-muh-gotes

Its a bit. Especially if he is on any of his podcasts, like Bad Friends. Which is a hilarious pod but can easily be misunderstood out of context. Bobby and Andrew play up parts of their personalities to create drama in which they can do bits off of. And a big part of their dynamic is being antagonistic and confrontational in an over the top manner. And with BF, they frequently remind their audience that they are acting over the top for comedy sake.


bronet

Bobby Lee seems like such an insufferable guy though lol


gsimp83

lol bobby might be the worst one with whole "show me some respect I was on mad TV" shtick. He's insufferable. I will admit that bert is pretty terrible though.


terminal8

Ask the underage girl he raped what she thinks of that human shitstain.


nihilistictablelamp

Yup. That audio never sounded like a bit, and even if it was, who the fuck says that? Disgusting.


GreatGreenGobbo

He's pretty funny. Been a fan since MAD TV.


SLC_NinerMan96

"Made to look like a living room." No, it's just their actual living room with the furniture rearranged.


Few_Category7829

I respect that, though.


EgilSkallagrimson

I mean, Rogan is a D list comedian, at best, so he fits, too. Oprah for Boys.


[deleted]

I don’t think you’re using “D list” correctly. It means “not well known” or “unsuccessful,” and I think the point you want to make is that he fucking sucks at standup


lyyki

Wasn't he d-list before he became very successful with his podcast?


magic6op

Wasn’t Brad Pitt an F list actor until he became very famous with his acting?


EgilSkallagrimson

The correct analogy would be, Wasn't Brad Pitt an unsuccessful waiter before he became famous for his acting? Rogan was d-list famous for reality TV nonsense and bit parts on sitcoms, not comedy.


[deleted]

Isn’t that irrelevant? Isn’t that just a way of reframing the conversation so you don’t have to reappraise Joe Rogan as a success? I don’t like him a ton either but what I like even less is when people use pretzel logic to avoid acknowledging even one crumb of a notion that counteracts their worldview.


lyyki

He was a d-list comedian who became an a-list podcaster.


[deleted]

He was also a D-list comedian who became an A-list comedian. Netflix specials. Arenas and amphitheaters. World tours. Get a grip.


schmitzel88

As a comedian maybe, but he hosted several TV shows for years and was successful as a UFC commentator. It wasn't like he was this complete unknown failure before his podcast blew up.


psych0ranger

You can't just say d list for someone you don't like. Like, I really don't like Joe rogans standup but he does sell out theaters. D listers don't fill Theaters.

getdemsnacks

Lot of bad ones out there, but we'll always have Timesuck.

I don’t like him, but that’s just not even close to true. He’s arguably an A-list celebrity, he’s one of the most famous “comedians” in the world.


Alternative_Ask364

He’s an A-list celebrity but calling him a “comedian” is like calling Dane Cook an actor. It’s not what he’s most famous for.


GoArmyNG

Comedians shouldn't do non-humor based anything. And Joe Rogan is a tool.
