On: Why Is Joe Rogan So Popular?

[Sholmesy]

Repeating "memes" is not really a thing on HN.

And potentially why this humorless crowd will struggle to understand why a comedian is popular.

Sorry that your jokes aren't landing.

But seriously, repeating a 3 letter tag line to fit in is not "comedy".

I also don't think Joe is very funny, though a lot of his guests/friend circle is (Tom Segura, Christina P, Ari S etc). His strength is in free flowing conversational interviewing, hence why his podcast is leagues more popular than his stand up (relative to the pack).

Sure, because repeating the same memes over and over again is an hilarious form of humour ;)

Repeating memes is the opposite of humor.

Not OP, but I don't consider Rogan's advocacy of DMT to be a "meme". As someone who has experienced the benefits that psychedelics can bring to your life if you take proper care, I think anything that destigmatizes them is a good thing.
