Great Job, Internet!: Elephant Graveyard takes Comedy Mothership back to Planet Rogan

Elephant Graveyard examines the comedy crash-out of the Joe Rogan extended universe, their billionaire buddies, and Carlos Mencia.

Great Job, Internet!: Elephant Graveyard takes Comedy Mothership back to Planet Rogan

Elephant Graveyard, the Canadian video essayist known for his well-researched and entertaining Joe Rogan videos, has returned to the Joe Rogan Podcast scene with a new video titled "How Comedy Drowned in a Radioactive Cesspool of Corruption and Depravity." The video is a direct follow-up to last year's viral "How Comedy Was Destroyed By An Anti-Reality Doomsday Cult" and delves deeper into the theories behind Rogan's connections to wealthy and dangerous individuals.

The video explores the "pissscape" of comedy, which somehow continues to flow despite the growing subgenre of Rogan Watchers who dissect every appearance the podcaster makes. Despite Netflix's continued platforming of the less-than-stellar comedians, Elephant Graveyard doesn't miss an opportunity to criticize the Big N. The video also revisits the Mencia vendetta, which played a role in Rogan gaining artistic credibility and access to prestigious comedy spaces.
