Joe Rogan mocked by Anthony Jeselnik in Netflix special triggering controversial reactions

Comedian Anthony Jeselnik recently poked fun at fellow comic and popular podcaster Joe Rogan during his Netflix stand-up special *Bones and All*, which premiered on November 26. 

Jeselnik remarked, "And yes, I did mention Joe Rogan. Do not get me wrong, I like Joe. Joe’s my friend, Joe’s a good guy. But if you listen to his podcast, you’re a f**king loser," as part of a joke towards the end of the show.

He went on to joke that his brother-in-law is the "biggest fan" of Joe Rogan, sharing that he "never misses an episode" and always feels that four hours isn't "long enough."

"My brother-in-law is Joe Rogan’s target demographic. My brother-in-law is a conspiracy theorist. A crazy, conspiracy theorist," Anthony continued. He went on to explain that his brother-in-law also "refuses to become an organ donor."

Jeselnik humorously added, "He swears if you get into an accident and the paramedics see that you’re an organ donor, they won’t try to save your life. Because they wanna use your organs to save someone else. It’s insane, but I can’t argue with him because he’s a paramedic," before delivering the punchline.

His joke about Joe Rogan and his audience quickly gained traction, sparking a variety of reactions online, with some people criticizing him. 

“This guy watches CNN and The View instead,” one commenter wrote.

“Says the guy that dated Amy Schumer,” another person remarked.

One user called the joke “embarrassing,” comparing it to another comedian’s criticism of Ricky Gervais, questioning why comedians dedicate whole segments to mocking successful peers.

"I didn’t even laugh and I barely watch Joe Rogan," wrote a user.

However, some online users found Jeselnik’s joke amusing.

“That’s a good joke,” one person wrote.

“Punchline sells it if you listen lol,” another commented.

“It’s just a setup for a pretty funny tag,” an individual said.

“That punchline got me--excellent joke,” another user remarked.

Up until now, Joe Rogan has not responded to the jokes made by Anthony Jeselnik during his Netflix special, which celebrated his 20 years in comedy.
