Fans of Joe Rogan debated if comedian Anthony Jeselnik calling them “losers” was worth a laugh or not.
Joe Rogan is known for his unique theories and hosting guests with their own wild takes on his podcast. Though some oppose his views, the JRE show has continued to thrive as the number one podcast on Spotify.
While millions of fans anticipate hearing Rogan’s ideas, stand-up comedian Anthony Jeselnik thinks anyone who listens to the podcast host is a “loser.”
On Netflix’s stand-up comedy show, Bones and All, Jeselnik celebrated his 20 years in the industry. In doing so, he roasted Rogan’s fans.
“Do not get me wrong, I like Joe. Joe’s my friend, Joe’s a good guy,” the comedian said. “But if you listen to his podcast, you’re a f*cking loser.”
Fans of Rogan who heard the Netflix special were divided, taking to X to discuss their opinions.
“Punchline sells it if you listen,” admitted one.
“I’m so glad to be in the world’s biggest loser community,” someone sarcastically wrote.
“This guy watches CNN and The View instead,” a fourth quipped.
Not everyone was a fan of the bit, though.
“The problem with the joke is that it works smoother without insulting Rogan fans. He allowed fat on the bit for a political statement. So… It’s him being political instead of just doing comedy,” one argued.
“Damn, this guy used to be funny,” another mocked.
