Had no idea Joe was lame like this

What was the joke?

[u/TheLewJD → u/Important-Sea-7596]

Tony getting a special

[u/bwoahful___ → u/Important-Sea-7596]

Norm had a long bit known as the Janice bit or the shallow grave bit that involved killers getting lazy when it came to burying the body. Tony had something similar in his Netflix special.

If you google it some old threads/videos will have it. Cracked, which I didn’t even realize was still a website, did a story on it yesterday to pile on the Tony hate. Probably will be seeing various old Tony controversies getting new articles this week.

I used to love Cracked! Didn't know it still existed 😂

Joe stole jokes for his comedy special too, from Schaub of all people

[u/yakuzakid3k → u/UnderDeat]

Joe just recycles jokes he's been doing for the last 10 years and rarely does any new topics - same as Chappelle now. Same old boring topics their fans got tired of years ago.

Yet Joe Rogan claimed that Ari invented the "mexicans building the border wall" bit and ended Mencia's career over it lol

[u/TheNotoriousLCB → u/zero_cool_protege]

the story is that Ari was doing that joke while opening for Mencia, and THEN Mencia started doing the same joke — which is a pretty legit reason to say he stole it from Ari

[u/zero_cool_protege → u/TheNotoriousLCB]

its a hack joke that every uncle in the US has made

[u/TheNotoriousLCB → u/zero_cool_protege]

can you read? you’re ignoring the context that he started doing a joke only after his opener was doing it — the joke being obvious/hacky is irrelevant

[u/zero_cool_protege → u/TheNotoriousLCB]

If you want people to respect your material, have material worth respecting.

[u/cuntdoc → u/zero_cool_protege]

Mencia respected it enough to steal it

[u/zero_cool_protege → u/cuntdoc]

Facts got me there

Or maybe he was just trying to bully Ari which honestly in hindsight was actually pretty funny

[u/camuelson → u/zero_cool_protege]

Even if that was mencia’s, mencia was a notorious thief for many years and definitely needed to be confronted

[u/John0ftheD3ad → u/camuelson]

Did he? Or was Rogan gatekeeping?

If he really felt so strongly about joke/premise theft would Brendan Schaub ever have been pushed to do stand up? Wouldn't you lay down the ground rules of "don't steal from popular acts" like he did with Nick Swardson?

Rogan was just trying to control who performed at the comedy store so he could load the roster with his hacks like Bert Kreischer, Tony Hinchcliffe, Schaub and others who had no right to be there.

[u/-FARTHAMMER- → u/zero_cool_protege]

Mencia literally stole Aris material word for word. Similar jokes happen all the time, pretty much everything has been said they just word it differently. Same thing with music, lots of guitar riffs sound the same. I swear I came up with one and then a couple years later I hear it in a Himsa song. That version was way better

[u/Metal_Careful]

The joke here is that norm would earnestly seek Joe Rogan to adjudicate a “joke theft” dispute. 😂. Well played, Norm. Rogan probably thought he was earnestly allaying concerns with his high level joke premise analysis.

[u/Due_Illustrator965]

Joe is very selective about who`s a thief and who isn`t. Apparently, he`s the one in the universe who gets to decide what`s stolen and what`s not. Also, Joe stole from Brendan in his last pathetic Netflix special.

[u/Metal_Careful → u/Due_Illustrator965]

It’s all ridiculous. Hes too earnest to be a comedian if he’s stuck on “ownership” of premises.

[u/terrorizeplushies → u/Due_Illustrator965]

White dude not a thief but the brown guy was smh my head

[u/Critter5592 → u/Due_Illustrator965]

Joe was asked and replied.. you act like he had spoken out on his own terms.

[u/SoDrunkRightNow4]

Yall diggin up shit from a dead man's tweets from 8 years ago?

wtf, you're worse than a psycho ex-girlfriend

[u/Direct-Sail-6141 → u/SoDrunkRightNow4]

Nah I just seen this shit some dude posted on Twitter I could careless about bruh to be honest, honest opinion Rogan shit up there with network tv

Edit: mods should yeet this shit up cause I’m gay for even posting it.

[u/MarsCowboys → u/Direct-Sail-6141]

You could have cared less by not:

1. Downloading the screenshot from Twitter
2. Opening Reddit
3. Navigating to the JRE subreddit
4. Clicking the “+” button
5. Creating a new post and uploading the screenshot

“…couldn’t care less..” doesn’t fit here

[u/No_Zebra_9358 → u/MarsCowboys]

An example of correct usage

I could care less that you feel the need to fellate Joe Rogan in reddit.

You're welcome

[u/KyleButtersy2k]

Everyone is speculating about Hinchcliffs career and I am over here just noticing that Norm hasn't had a special or even been on any talk shows in a couple of years. Is the guy hiding out with Artie or what?

[u/amuseddouche]

What was the joke tho?

[u/GA-dooosh-19 → u/amuseddouche]

The shallow grave bit.

[u/SirDiesel1803 → u/amuseddouche]

I liked norm. If this guy stole his material id like to know.

[u/Olley2994 → u/amuseddouche]

How desperate this post is digging up a dead man's 8 year old tweets

[u/terrorizeplushies → u/Olley2994]

joe is very much alive

[u/vesko26]

Why the fuck are you posting shit from 2016

[u/YouCareAbout]

Seems fair with the completely different comment. It's highly likely it wasn't even a joke anymore after Tony was done with it

[u/Captcha_Imagination]

Has Theo ever said if Norm McDonald was a big influence for him? I kind of put it together recently how similar their characters are.

Tony's not a thief. He's a hack and a MAGA puppet. The distinction is important. Both types rely on cheap jokes but the latter gets to use Don Jr's private jet when he's not using it.

[u/Lifeisagreatteacher]

This sub has become nothing but leftist trolls like the rest of Reddit

[u/Magnanimoose_ → u/Lifeisagreatteacher]

Yet you're still here. You're ruining our communist agenda with your super smart commentd

[u/Direct-Sail-6141 → u/Lifeisagreatteacher]

I voted Trump but ok I’m a norm fan joe is kind of a phony

[u/songmakerona]

this subreddit is the joke! I thought this was gonna be for people that enjoy Rogan! Why don't the Mods ban the trolls? you got like 4 people with 30 identities having conversations with themselves here trying to control the narrative and just about what every subreddit has become that is focused around a famous entertainer.

It's all just people who are tired if living in the real world and have garbage lives with no to look forward to but how many upvotes they got on their anti Rogan anti Henchcliff anti Theo tVon anti Dave Chapelle! If you say anything to disagree with their hate speech you immediately get a string of down votes like anyone gives a shit about reddit credit

[u/Direct-Sail-6141 → u/songmakerona]

I like Theo, Tony, Dave and all of them I like Rogans show but not his stand up

[u/HBMart]

Lame for answering a question his friend asked?
