He does the best satire because it’s sooooo committed to the bit you could question if he’s being sincere if you didn’t know his catalog.

Is the actual Joe Rogan show this boring? Like I know it's stupid and full of junk psuedo science but I can't even watch 3 full minuta of this parody

The one he did with Fred Armisen making fun of Bill Mahers podcast is also fantastic. Tim just nails the smarminess and disdain that bill has for his guests.

u/Mountain-Track-9064 10h ago
And one of the producers told Tim’s team that Bill Maher got mad about the parody. Bill can’t take a joke.lol

u/BradMarchandsNose 7h ago
I forget who said it (might’ve been Tim honestly), but they said most improv is “yes, and” but Bill comes from the “no, but” school of improv. His inability to riff is just insane.

That's because what Bill does is really smart, and really smart people really like it, and the parody doesn't respect that he's really smart.

Someone dosed me with crab salts once and I didn't know it. I didn't get the flu or a cold for like two years. Two years is now and my immunity means I might live forever. I went two years not knowing I might live forever, so I feel like I was robbed a little. It's weird. You can be immortal but sometimes bitter. Like you have everything, but wish your past everything could have been more.

u/MeaninglessDebateMan 11h ago
I think it goes further than that. It's one of the greatest works of ironic satire in comedy history.
There are hours and hours of finely tuned bits that have spun off into their own streaming service, HEI network. There is a 5 hour mock trial aired in entirety. There are 14 1.5 hour Oscar specials. Dozens and dozens of "movie reviews". Spinoff series Dekker and spinoff band Dekkar, Dekkar 2.0, etc.
It's real comedy genius that isn't well understood until it's too late, then you're hooked.

I followed and binged all of the content that relates to on cinema..the Oscars specials and Decker , up until when they made the trial then it’s sort of lost me it was to much time to invest , but the content is genius non the less . I don’t connect to his podcast though , from my experience his coming in a bit to cocky, and I believe it’s the true Tim his showing there
•
u/emailforgot 47m ago
Office Hours started as a pretty manic experiment, it was off putting though sorta on purpose I suppose. Tim has gone on to say he was in a pretty wild headspace at the time and the show is waaaay more approachable now, especially with Vic Berger on board. It's basically just Dadcore stuff now, the one where they write and record a song about Benson was super chill

u/Luung 20h ago
I can't sing its praises enough, but I don't think I can really recommend it to someone who hasn't watched On Cinema. It doesn't make a huge amount of sense without context, and maybe the best bit in the entire trial is the culmination of a multi-year running joke.

It's also the lead to the documentary where he runs for district attorney against the DA who prosecuted him. Worth watching if you've followed on cinema up to and including the trial (some people watched the doc since it was advertised as a movie w/o knowing the lore and that probably was weird.)

There's something about this show though that can be a little off-putting like you're stuck in a sickly acid trip that's gone on way too long and you're starting to get really bugged out by the fact that nothing is making sense still.

This is going to sound like the set up to a joke but it isn’t, just a mildly interesting thing I guess. I went out to a work dinner to a place in Los feliz probably back in about 2009. Place called Little Dom’s. And they start setting up a table for a big party right next to us which was annoying cause it was right next to us and it’s not a huge place. Then a friggin gaggle of the biggest comedians of the era start filing in. It’s tim heidecker, Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt, I want to say Patrice O Neal rip (but i might be making that up) aziz ansari, and a few more. This is LA so not CRAZY that this would be happening but also…well kind of crazy to me cause I was a massive fan of Tim and Eric at the time. My co-workers didn’t really clock it and I spent the entire rest of the dinner listening to their conversations expecting it to be the funniest most epic private comedy moment ever witnessed. Nope. Just like 10 friends having a regular dinner. Then I felt weird about having been so fixated on eavesdropping.

Some comedians/entertainers are just "on" all the time, like Robin Williams for example. But most of them are just normal people when they aren't clocked in.

I watched one episode years ago just to see why it was so popular and this is literally what the episode was.
-25
u/MulanMcNugget 17h ago
Yes and no, I have watched since the fleshlight days (12 years ago) and while the quality of the content and guest have dropped it's still good background noise when he has good guests on like the undercover FBI agent who infiltrated Neo Nazis and biker gangs or scientists Brian cox he lets his guest go on long tangents and asks decent questions, the kind most interviewers don't but people find interesting. He also occasionally has guest you would never think is interesting, like the episode with the bee lady which was 3 hours long and pretty informative and interesting.
But when it's him with his comedian friends or some quack he can end up sniffing his own farts about comedy and repeats the same things again about covid, politics, culture war shit etc. I just check who's the guest and if it isn't interesting or unique I just move on.
This parody is pretty spot on though at least when comes to all the negatives of the show and how dumb he can be. Reddit makes him out to be some bogeyman and is responsible current state of the US but he was actually pretty reasonable politically before covid broke him. The news media has some part to blame in his shift to right imo, the constant hit pieces for silly shit before covid and during it, the famous CNN piece where they made look sick digitally and said he was taking horse meds. It's easy to see looking back why he is what he is now.

u/XiaoRCT 15h ago
He's getting downvoted because he's being so generous to Joe that's he's practically lying. Most of the episodes where he brings in "cool guests" have at least one or two 15+ minute segments where Joe brings up his favorite talking points, which for years now have been literally just propaganda. 'heres why LA sucks while Texas is the best place in the US', antivax and anti mask comments literally every episode years after COVID, joe being obsessed with trans people be it for helicopter-tier jokes or his dumb attempts at political commentary around "male athletes beating up woman in women's sports", he glazes Trump constantly, etc. Not only that but dude even ends by blaming "the news media" as if this wasn't 100% just Joe leaning into political grifting.
The only way you can still have the previous guy's opinion on JRE is if you completely blind yourself to this shit. It hasn't been a "cool podcast but..." In years.
Just because one opinion isn't as negative as others it doesn't make it "the most reasonable" and you shouldn't fall for that.

He's literally talking about how the podcast is now, not just the old content. You and him replied to my comment making bullshit accusations like "you didn't read his comment fully" or "you do not watch the podcast" just because you guys can't understand that people don't look kindly at the blatant excusing of Joe's bullshit.
You speak of "douchebags who say right wing shit because they think it's good for their career", my brother in Christ, that has been Joe Rogan for years! Dude was literally there by Trump's side cheering three months ago! Not acknowledging that is just being denial, which is why he was downvoted.
You can keep dismissing criticism as people not reading your position correctly or blaming the "rage machine" or whatever, just know that you and the other guy are just grasping at straws to defend a podcast that people are starting to see for what it is, a propaganda piece.

At first the discussion was about how the initial comment you replied to was wrong, you the dismissed my explanation with bullshit claims about my comment. Then you moved on to #notallepisodes, sure.
You didn't literally say the phrase I wrote, not LITERALLY, but what you stance is has been clear. You think Joe is not a propagandist because some of his podcast episodes are not political, which like I said before, is blatant denial.
Unless you think he's a propagandist who somehow makes episodes that are fun and non-political on the side, which would be hilarious in how blatantly gullible and generous you are to Joe.

I will still watch the occasional one if he has good guest like the ones I mentioned or if Shane Gillis is on but it's pretty rare these days.

u/MulanMcNugget 14h ago
Nah just shows you don't watch it (which is fine) or read comments for that matter, I specifically said I skip pods where he spouts his shit, Joe isn't going to bring up trans in sports or Covid to Brian Cox or to FBI agent which are the only type of episodes I watch.
Joe's politics have become annoying but if you ignore the episodes where you just know he is going to spaz out it's still pretty decent. I don't think its just the news or that joe doesn't have any agency but it definitely play apart in Joe spiral into MAGA.

u/XiaoRCT 14h ago
I've literally watched every MMA episode of his podcast until 2022, where I started to miss some because I couldn't take the insane propaganda anymore. You are throwing bullshit accusations without any basis at all just to defend the podcasters you like.
He brings up Trump and vaccines/COVID to MMA fighters all the time, for no reason. Watch his episode with Bo Nickel ffs, a supposedly MMA podcast becomes literally a 2 hour propaganda piece where him and Bo grovel about how great Trump is at everything from golfing to politics.
Joe has made sure everything about his podcast is political. Pretending you can "just ignore the bullshit" is just fake, it's spread all over his content, the guy become a literal propagandist toasting the president when he wins an election.

He was always 'in' politics way before he became completely obsessed with trans people. His first political gripe goes a long way back before trans boxing.
I guess guests like Bernie or Tulsi were MMA fighters huh
Bernie is a good example of how Joe changed, he used to be able to have him on and hold a decent conversation even over shit they didn't see eye to eye, now he invites people who call Bernie an old lunatic and laughs along with them ffs

The MMA episodes are the worse for it because most of them a just with his friends who are also just as dumb asf and there's lots of dead between the fights which is why I don't watch them.
What accusations are you referring to, the news going after him lol? CNN literally altered a photo to make him look sick looked like a ompua loompa ffs after which they apologised.
Watch those pods I mentioned not once does say any of that shit, if it's ''serious'' guest he rarely mentions it. I guess I just don't find his all that offensive, they are dumb asf for sure but i'm not going to have a panic attack when I hear them.

You literally accuse me of not watching the podcast or reading comments, which I did, and tried again and again to give it another shot. And again and again I felt disappointed because Joe only became comfier being a grifter.

u/MulanMcNugget 13h ago
I mean you haven't watched since 2022 and just the MMA shows no? I assumed you did because you thought the COVID bs was in every episode.
Yea the show is Shadow of its former self but it still has good episodes every now and then, I guess because I have been watching it for so long I know which episodes to avoid. But his episodes with serious people like the guy I mentioned are actually pretty good especially if into space or science. Just read the description and comments to see if the guest is full of shit or not
I don't think Joe is a grifter in the political sense he does actually believe in what he says he isn't smart enough to be that guy like That weasel fuck Ben Shapiro. Though he did sell dodgy supplements tbf lol.
JRE is at its best when it's the episodes that are like a dumb caveman bringing smart people to explain things, it's also why it ended up the way it is now the caveman started listening to people who didn't have the best intentions and got confused by all the attention.

I think this is the crux of our disagreement. I just can't hold this generous vision of Joe anymore. During the pandemic he would have multiple doctors on lecture him about why vaccines are useful or about why people wear masks, and then his reaction would be ridiculing them while inviting anti-maskers and antivax people afterwards. Meanwhile he's making bank with the podcast+UFC, the UFC which itself has been completely coopted by Trump. I just don't think he's authentic anymore, he knows what pays him.

It's really only worth watching if it's an episode about comedy or MMA, and even then, only if you specifically have an interest in those topics. I don't care to hear about rising comedians grinding out the road life, but I do like MMA and kickboxing. The political or "science" related episodes are an immediate pass.
