Joe Rogan was a never a good comedian. Even worse he's trying to make himself look like some missionary of the truth. When in fact he has also stolen a few gags from other comedians.

Folks, the great brilliant Andy Kaufman once taught us that Comedians aren't to be taken seriously. They're mischievous by nature and nearly 99% of the time they're doing an act to amuze us. That's their nature...to entertain us.

As for comedians that we hate. I personally don't find that Sacha Baron Cohen the least bit amusing. Most of his gimmicks resemble Kaufman gags....yeah.

Personally, I disagree with this. Bill Hicks was a comedian, but he said much more than mere gags and people got a lot more out of his work than laughs.

I never thought he was a good comedian either, from the very FEW skits I saw of him, but I did think he was making a very valid point, especially with showing the video clips of how other comedians had said something and then showed Carlos saying nearly the same thing.

It's most likely a gimmick...it's very common among comedians to try to steal the act from others. It helps both comedians to get publicity.

As for Bill Hicks...I never care much about him. I still prefer Kaufman...more of comedian IMO.

People do need to understand the difference between different kinds of comedians, clowns and comedy actors.

Seems to be the main problem here.

Sacha Baron Cohen is a comedy actor, Bill Hicks is a comedian, Dane Cook is an idi...I mean "clown".
