Turns out the “Boats” aren’t the only thing getting burned.
Joe Rogan’s new Netflix comedy special “Burn the Boats,” released last weekend on the popular subscription streaming service, left critics unimpressed and fans scratching their heads, as the longtime UFC color commentator shouted his way through an hour of jokes poking fun at COVID, gay men, and cancel culture, among other hot-button topics.
New York Times called it “dumb.”
Variety said the material felt “decades too late” while Movieweb accused Rogan of being “narcissistic and weird.” That said, supporters on social media claimed “miserable” critics were acting “worse than any joke” Rogan made while serving to “drag the world down” with their unflattering remarks.
“I love gay men, but I think about gay men the same way I think about mountain lions,” Rogan said. “I’m happy they’re real, but I don’t want to be surrounded by them. They’re a bunch of dudes who f*ck dudes, I don’t like my chances!”
Rogan also suggested “a pervert wizard waved a magic spell on the whole world.”
Having grown up in the era of Andrew Dice Clay and the late Sam Kinison, who screamed his jokes like a comedic drill sergeant, I didn’t find Rogan’s material to be any more offensive than what most of us have already been exposed to over the years. But pointing-and-laughing is not the same as developing a humorous point of view, an element that was sorely needed (but nowhere to be found) in Rogan’s “Burn the Boats” special.
Daily Beast put it best: “His cult loves it so it doesn’t matter.”
LOL JRO can do whatever he wants with His Fuck You Moolah
i dunno about boorish, but all his specials are unfunny… and i like joe.
I tried watching the new one, It’s ok, I fell asleep so maybe it got better, I don’t think Joe is naturally a very funny dude, and I’m a fan.
One of the worst Stand Ups I’ve ever seen, including women. You have to be quite smart to form jokes, and Joe is not a smart man
damn
Why does he bother doing this when he sucks at it. Looks awkward midget on stage with the sweat stains on his shirt. Talking about gay shit.
Because he gets paid large sums of money to do so.
I agree with you that he isn’t and has never been the slightest bit funny as a stand-up comic. I haven’t seen any of his stuff in years, but the last time I saw a clip he was like a white Kevin Hart, he just screamed dumb shit into the mic.
He’s so edgy, people just can’t handle this high level of humor.
It’s sad. Civilians will never understand what it means to muuuuuuurder…
I really enjoyed Monkeys in Space
His standup slipped as he began to excel in another avenue.
People just don’t understand highly complex,multi- layered dick jokes……
There are only about 100 of them, thank em’
I might not gonna take the Netflix for this one.
Cmon guys, props to Rogan for building his podcast, but the dude is not funny and has never been.
I thought it was fine, not great, not horrible. 6/10 probably.
It is interesting to see how much his Reddit fanbase has turned on him suddenly. It’s like now that Brenda is toast, they’re aiming for daddy next.
