Joe Rogan is a famous stand-up comedian and a household name in the podcasting world. He revolutionized the podcasting space after launching his own podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. Recently, Rogan gave his thoughts on comedians coming under fire for making explicit jokes.

Joe Rogan appeared on the new episode of the ‘Flagrant’ podcast alongside hosts Andrew Schulz and Aakash Singh. In one segment, Schulz talked about how politically correct people expect comedians to be all the time, even while making jokes.

Comedians’ jokes shouldn’t be taken seriously, according to Joe Rogan

Rogan added to this, “Well, one of the arguments is that like, if you say c**zy things in the name of being funny, then other people that are not as smart as you will say those things, and they’ll be hurtful. They’ll feel like they have license to say those things.”

Rogan said, “If you love comedy, you must agree that a lot of what people say they don’t mean. They just think it’s a funny thing to say.
