Joe Rogan: Triggered (2016)

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I didn't know who Joe Rogan was prior to finding "Triggered" on Netflix by browsing the stand-up comedy collection.I decided to give it a chance based on the short synopsis that was given. But it turned out that Joe Rogan's particular style of comedy and his jokes were not really suitable with what I liked, and I wasn't particularly entertained or impressed with what I saw here.Joe Rogan did have some good jokes here and there, but they were just far in between for my liking.I enjoyed the part with the sleeping impressions, when he was lurched on the chair, and that was my favorite part of the entire show.I can't claim to have been spurred on to seek out more of his shows of he has any though.

What Joe Rogan did here was very, very brave.Joe Rogan opens every joke with laying out a verbal minefield for himself. Every time he starts a new joke I find myself saying "uh-oh" out loud, and by the end of every joke he has successfully managed to maneuver out of the minefield with humor and a valid point.I do myself strongly agree with him on some points and others not so much, but when i see past his showmanship i can see that there is a strong case behind his opinions.This made me laugh very much, but i'm not giving it a 10/10 purely because of the jokes. This routine is admirable because he dared discuss some of the most touchy subjects, in the most uncompromising way, in front of a large audience. 10/10 for bravery.

Joe Rogan is a special kind of stand-up comedian. Many try to copy the work of others, steal jokes and emulate a greater performer, but with Joe you can instantly tell he's just being himself, carrying out his own brand of wacky, almost eccentric comedy and it's a joy to watch on screen. He takes you on an adventure with his unusual outlook on subjects and questions what would happen in insane situations, all while making you burst with laughter. I've watched Joe for 15+ years, First his early days in the UFC, then his great stand-up routines and latterly in his wonderful Joe Rogan Podcast, but this has to be one of the best performances the man has ever put on.Overall one of the most impressive comedy specials I've seen and Joes unique brand of stand up is a wonder to witness. Incredibly funny, informative, opinionated and all this while taking you on a wild journey through the mind of a comedic madman, what more could you ask for.

Because he absolutely killed this!I watch a lot of Joe Rogan's podcast and I watch a lot of UFC in which Joe Rogan is a legendary voice so I might be biased in ways, but I happen to share a lot of Joe Rogan's beliefs and point of views so even though he does portray a bit more macho douche in this show than what he usually does on his podcast, the way he is able to deliver his thoughts on society is on a level only few have been able to do.Easily the funniest show I have seen for years and easily the most hid- in-plain-sight intelligent one.The Bruce Jenner bit was just a new level of comedy.
