" I mean at least be funny if you ’re being ignorant and sickening . "
Joe Roganis under fire for jokes he made in his new Netflix special,Burn the Boats.
Burn the Boatsis his first standup special since 2018. It’s also his first to stream live on Netflix after signing adealwith the streamer this summer. In the trailer, Joeteasedthat it would feature “some ride-home arguments” but stressed they are “jokes, folks. Just jokes.”
Within minutes of the opening, Joe was talking about “woke” topics like trans representation and “pregnant men.” He said that while he considers himself “open-minded,” he believes trans men have been too quickly accepted into American culture.
“I’m open-minded. I just want to know what happened,” he said. “It’s almost like a pervert wizard waved a magic spell on the whole world.”
Imitating a wizard, he joked, “‘With a wave of this wand, you can walk into the women’s locker room with a hard cock, and anybody who complains is a Nazi. Abracadabra!’ And it just works!”
“And everyone just accepts this new reality, and it’s fucking weird,” Joe continued. “I just think we need standards. You can’t just put lipstick on and now you can shit in the women’s room!”
“I just wanna know what’s going on,” he added. “Like, the world got weird.”
Joe went on to say he does “believe” in trans people and fully supports the “right as an adult to do whatever you want that makes you happy.” “But I also believe in crazy people!” he quipped.
“Somehow or another, that got left out of the equation,” Joe went on. “All of a sudden, crazy people just went away like the flu in COVID!”
He also made jokes about gay men, who he said he doesn’t “want to be surrounded by,” and jokes about the “strange” times of the coronavirus pandemic.
Joe said , " Before COVID , I would have recount you that vaccines are the most important invention in human history . After COVID , I ’m like , ' I do n’t think we went to the Sun Myung Moon . I think Michelle Obama ’s got a dick . I think Pizzagate is real . I think there ’s unmediated energy weapons in Antarctica . ' I ’m just kid — I do n’t cogitate Michelle Obama ’s got a pecker , but I conceive all of that other shit . "

I ’m watch Joe Rogan ’s Netflix special so you do n’t have to . And you don’t . It ’s EXACTLY what you think it is .
I think of at least be funny if you ’re being ignorant and sickening . Joe Rogan ’s main crime during his comedy special was he was n’t odd . His cult lie with it so it does n’t matter but he ’s making too many smart people stupid.https://t.co/vxOX04Qigp
Of course I disagree with Joe Rogan politically , but from what I ’ve fancy of his fresh Netflix standup special I ca n’t help but admit he ’s not the least number funny .
