The internet is a beautiful thing.
I don’t really have to tell you that, of course seeing that you’re on it, and that your tastes are so obscure that you actually find my site on your list of places you visit.
If you’ve made it all the way over to here, you probably see more shit on the internet everyday than I do.
I go to the internet first thing every day to read what the fuck is going on in the world, and to find out what I’m supposed to be scared shitless of.
The only time I watch the old school tv news is by accident – like if it just happened to be on that channel when I turned it on.
I caught some of it the other night, and it felt like I was watching a fucking parody.
They’re still doing dopey tricks to keep you tuned in, like, “Coming up next, the common household product that could be deadly! You’re not going to believe it.”
I couldn’t believe they were still running that tired old game.
No such games are played on the internet.
On the internet the information is almost instant.
I constantly have to remind myself how fucking truly incredible that is.
I’ve got this google ap thing on my iphone, and it has a button where you click it and you just say something for it to google, like “gay republican scandal” and-BAM!! -There’s more material on the subject than you could read in a lifetime.
Instantly you get the answer to almost everything known or proven. We’re literally only limited by our questions and the veracity of the source of information. We’re just so used to it I don’t think we truly realize how fucking beautiful it is. This fucking thing we’re chatting on is enlightening the world and connecting us in ways we are just starting to understand.
It’s also bringing us some really fucking cool shit to look at.
I mean, all that information is nice, but one of the coolest things about the internet is how much fun it is. We’re being subjected to WAY more funny shit every day than people were during World War 2. Ever see pictures of people that lived back then?
Those fucks were hardly ever smiling. Because of the internet we get more funny presented to us every day than anyone in human history by a long shot.
Every day I’ll read a new funny blog, or a messageboard post that makes me LOL! Or I see a new photoshopped picture of some hilarious cat explaining what a fucking loser you are.
There’s lots of funny stuff on the internet, but every now and then you run into something truly special.
Occasionally you’ll see something that just perfectly exemplifies what’s possible with the freedom of the internet and the technology available today, and that my friends is this fucking incredible gem known as Dance Floor Dale. These guys Tim and Eric that have this really trippy show on Adult Swim created it.
My friend Eddie emailed me a link to this the other day, and I made a thread about it on my messageboard, but this video is so fucking powerful I had to talk about it here too. I just don’t want anyone to miss this.
I don’t want to tell you too much about it, just that it gets better ever time I see it.
I’ve probably watched the fucking thing 30 times by now and shown it to everyone I know. It’s funny, it’s weird, and it’s fucking awesome.
This video below contains some explicit cartoon scenes, flashing lights and is FOR OVER 18’s ONLY.
Directed by Eric Wareheim (Tim & Eric) in association with Warp Records and Warp Films. Music by Flying Lotus. Co Directed/ Animation by Devin Flynn. Co Directed/ Edited by Eric Fensler. More info at dancefloordale.com
You are such a sellout, man. You don’t think this is funny in the least, but you peddle it. And no things aren’t funnier now that the internet is available. Class clowns were a lot funnier. Real people in real life are funnier. In fact, i’m punching off the internet on account of your insight.
The crazy fucking this is, is that you got on Twitter and I got on my phone and read that you posted a new blog.
“You are such a sellout, man. You don’t think this is funny in the least, but you peddle it. And no things aren’t funnier now that the internet is available. Class clowns were a lot funnier. Real people in real life are funnier. In fact, i’m punching off the internet on account of your insight.”
Of course I think it’s funny, that’s not the problem here. The problem, young michaelborne, is that you’re a negative fuck.
I peddle it? I don’t even know those fucking guys. I never even heard of them until I saw that video. I thought it was awesome, so i thought I would share it. Go take a yoga class, dude.
“The crazy fucking this is, is that you got on Twitter and I got on my phone and read that you posted a new blog.”
Powerful twitter. PeppersGhost, you’re one of my first, and I’ll never forget that
“You are such a sellout, man. You don’t think this is funny in the least, but you peddle it.”
It blows my mind how people find the time/energy to actually post negative stuff like this. About the video itself, Flyiing Lotus is a remarkable rising musician with a strong following in electronic music circles. Warp Records is one of the most respected, and in my humble opinion, one of the best record labels in the history of music. Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Battles, Jamie Lidell, Autechre, Plaid, Grizzly Bear, and so on. They span so many genres but it’s all top quality. So, thanks for “peddling it”.
Just wanted to say that I at first thought you were an idiot, because all I knew about you was that you hosted Fear Factor. Then I heard your little description of a DMT experience. I started actually listening to your stand up and now hold a deep respect for your work. In some ways Bill Hicks is like a patron saint to me and I’m glad you’re carrying on in that tradition of comedy. I’ll be at your Tampa gig and was wondering if you would recommend seeing the 8:30 or 10:30 show.
Thanks, man. If I didn’t know me I would probably assume I was an idiot too.
As for Tampa, usually the 10:30 shows are a little wilder and run a little longer. I always do a Q&A thing after the shows, and the late shows have less of a time constraint because we don’t have to clear the room for the next audience.
Sweet! I’ll be there and will make sure to bring as many friends as I can.
Where are your old videos? And your left eyebrow as well?
Dance Floor Dale…? That was great. My image of you is totally blown… I like the psychedelic penetration shots. The internet definitely gives us more demented fuckers than they had access to in WW2, I’ll give you that. But I’ll take a live comedy show or a bunch of friends hee-hawin’ around the campfire, over girls with cups, or Dale any day of the week. Just my two cents.
I’m right with you on the internet as a yet-to-be-realized information frontier. Access to information, sights, and sounds that you might not otherwise experience. Pretty cool notion. I’m excited to see how far we can take it.
I worked on a Tom Petty concert that we shot for broadcast around the world: attending concerts via the internet. I’ve trained some of Eddie bravo’s techniques by studying his internet videos and then taking those techniques to the gym: tele-training sessions? I’m learning the harmonica the same way. Check out Adam Gussow on youtube. I just shot a commercial and shared the rough cut with a client in Florida, I live in Los Angeles. Another project that I did was broadcast on the internet as the primary method of distribution. News from the front lines as recorded by the troops themselves, with images and video. NASA’s latest photos, CERN’s latest discovery updates, porn, youtube, myspace, Skype… it never ends.
You can check out the latest deep space photos, check up on the latest quantum physics developments, upload your recent vacation photos for all to see, watch last nights Mars Volta concert, waste an hour watching old Bill Moyers Journal interviews, catch up with your buddy in Bombay with a quick video chat, enjoy a live donkey show (if you’re into that kind of thing) and come here to chat with a nutty stand up comedian, all in the same day.
WW2 may have produced the Greatest Generation, and much respect to them. But I’m havin’ a fuckin ball.
Happy 2009,
-ursus-
Personally, I’d rate this video somewhere between 2 girls 1 Cup and the BME pain olympics. Allright, not really. But, I DO hope that dude was gettin’ paid to hit that shit.
On another note, why do people always feel the need to post negative comments all over the place. Whether it’s on blogs or youtube, or whereever, I’ve got to troll through others crappy comments about shit I like. I couldn’t give a shit less if some kid doesn’t play real guitar. His guitar hero vid still rocks. Oh well, as someone famous probably once said, “Fuck’em.”.
Anyway, back to Joe, who is the bomb. Whether it’s hosting the new show (just caught it on Sat night), breaking up fights on Fear Factor, doing stand up about parachuting vaginas, or simply correcting Goldberg, it’s all fuckin’ fantastic.
Keep up the awesome work, and I look forward to the next time you’re back in Boston!
In other news, professional stand-up comic, Joe Rogan, handled a heckler on his blog today by accusing the commentator of being a negative f*ck and advising him to quote, Go take a yoga class, dude.
This sh*t’ ain’t live, man. You can take your time with the comebacks. You sound stiff, like you have a tree pose up your ass or something. Yoga….nice one.
Trying to figure out where to sign up for the deprevation tank giveaway
I cant seem to find a link or info
please help
weird video
….I’m not being negative about this…but it seems to me like some people have too much time on their hands 
….but I do respect the work that went into it….and the courage needed to appear in it in such postures….so good for them 
.
Who the fuck is this michaelborne asshole. If you have such disdain for Joe why the fuck are you looking on his blog or even taking time to watch the videos on it. Have you ever taken the time to listen to Joe talk about ANYTHING you incompetent fuck? He has more compassion for things he hates than you do for things you appreciate you fucking ding-dong. Go post on Rush Limbaugh’s blog you fag!!
Joe,
What did Dana think about the Mir Knockout? If you are around you should pop in and let me know what is going on.
Take it easy,
Bleh
Same goes for you Dana. The charity drive was too good to be true. Hopefully it will help fighters and the military. I was checking to make sure that if you sent the box of money the professor did not steal it.
“the problem with stupid people is they don’t know their dumb.” michaelborne- Joe uses his wit and insight to amuse people, that why they call him a comedian. Apearently, he’s good enough at it to have a website with his cheezy grinning mug on it where people bother to take the time and read his shit, and write comments on it and whatnot. What about that do you not get? Does your duchebaggery know no bounds? Go lick your home-stupidity-test strips and then complain afterwards how they are broken, you dickless lickspittle.
What’s up Joe, I’m a big fan of your comedy, because you don’t just make stupid jokes but speak truth to people. http://home.flash.net/%7Eevt/vision.htm
Have you ever read prophecy by Sarah Hoffman, she tried to commit suicide in 1979 and was given a vision by Gog about the fate of the earth, and was turned back into our world. This lady seen Twin Towers collapse 20 years prior to that actually happenning, and she basically describes the end of the world to such a detail that it makes perfect sense about what’s going on right now with Israel and Palestine, as well as Iran backing up Hamas ans Palestine. She even says that major missle/nuke is going to be sent by Iran from Lybya towards Israel that would start WWIII. She also talked about Russia and China invading U.S. soil, she specifically sites the major citites to be struck with uncurable diseases, and multiple natural disasters sweeping all over U.S. . I’m not easily scared, but I had goosebumps all over reading this, because with all my heart and soul I felt it was the truth.
Have you ever read something that automatically registered as undeniable truth in your brain, complete moment of clarity, that sweeps the information like brushfire of energy, and paints complete picture of what is going to happen, an ultimate De Ja Vu.
Nuclear winters, riots, anarchy, murders, rapes.
Maaaaaaaaaaaan….fucking chills all over.
SO far everything she said is coming true, we as a human race knowing this prophecy need to change man, cause every one of us contributes to apocalypse every second. We are all part of one energy that holds this universe together, you can call it God, with every thought we form our reality and effect overall fate of the universe. Love is the only thing that will save us. I doubt this planet will survive, but the soul is eternal, so what really separates us from the aliens is the physical form and spiritual level. The soul knows everything, but the human body cannot fully untap that knowledge, perhaps on this planet in this human form.
Lately I have been having visions of aliens and ways they already effect this world. One of the ones that really struck me curious is when I’m standing in LA and I look up. I see a space ship right below tallest highscrapper, that opens and some type of device start pumping ultra frequency radio waves into the city limits. I’m shockingly realize that they are doing mind control procedure, but it doesn’t work on me. Suddenly I hear the the voice in my head: ”Keep quiet, do not tell anybody about this”, as the space ship retracts the device and turns away. Telepathically I reply: ”Yeah right!”. Immediately the ship turns around and blasts me with those waves, I fall unconscious and my kidney’s start failing, in extreme sharp pain I wake up in my bed, still feeling the effect, and slowly the pain fades into nothingness. What’s crazy is that I had this vision when I was still in Phoenix, I had never been in LA, but I had to move here for work last week. When I arrived I quickly saw the skyscrappers from my dream, exactly how they were in the vision, least to say I was fucking SHOCKED.
It’s not the first time I’ve seen visions like that, and seen UFO’s when I lived in Anthem, Arizona, seen quite a few near the mountains, as well as in downtown Mesa. Shit’s trippier than a motherfucker.
Motherfuckers tried to abduct me in my sleep, I woke up at night with 2 UFOs over my house literally reading my thoughts, I felt the energy surging through my brain with tingling sensation, automatically I blocked them out and tried to read theirs, one of them spun in the circle and with bright lights disappeared with a speed of light, the other one watched me for a second and then followed the 1st one. Trust me I’m not making that shit up, I’m not THAT creative to think that shit up LMFAO!. (And I wasn’t high either hahaha)
Our family friends got a bunch on video camera, and said they have a underground base underneath the mountain. They would appear around 7-8 pm and then suddenly drop to the ground behind the mountain.
Shit’s insane!
OOOoooohhhh…….That’s Survivor……..Hey Survivor. Sorry that is my best black chick impersonation without being able to speak it. I have two things for you brother. One….Lytle v. Davis was some good punching and the Irish crowd behind Davis was insane. Two……please tell whoever mans the UFC sight (I know it isn’ t in your control) but dude, when I am in the states and I want to check the undercard I don’t want to see the results of half of the fights on the FRONT PAGE. I know we were hours behind, but brother that sucked to find out the winner of Franklin v. Henderson before I got it on PPV. Hope you had fun on the best island on Earth.
What the fuck man……..Coleman/ Rua looked like it should have been a piss poor Rocky sequel……..Rocky 37 Balboa vs. all of Brazil…..wait maybe I am confusing the Rambo films. None the less I still love the Hammer…….he’s just not the same ground and pound. I look like a fuckin’ stalker on here. 5 messages in a row that have nothing to do with the thread. Sorry!!
adult swim rocks, the internet too….without the internet I wouldn’nt have seen have the movies and series I’ve seen, nor the UFC which I can only see by pyrating it off the internet…. I showed most colleagues at work the corey hill fight on youtube…now that one makes people react :p
and ofc the biggest gem of them all, metalocalypse :p
LMAO im glad you’ve been subjected to tim/eric not everyone gets these guys. saw you with the jones the other night, i want one of those shirts (“i have documents”) seriously you and stanhope are unfortunately the only true minds in comedy today…(unless you know more i’d like to know) if it wasnt for you i would never know about bill hicks and thats super fucking sad; he doesnt get as much credit as he deserves (as well as you guys) keep speaking the truth and staying real. i genuinely thank you for subjecting me to bill hicks, man is a genius. agree w/ sly brendon small is a awesome everything he touches is golden…hope he’s not a royal bloodline…nothing in this world seems pure….long time first time comment, be gentle
all comedians steal jokes. ari stole the mexican super wall from my uncle(he told me that joke in 1996. so shut the fux up. u think u r cool cause ufc. haha. news flash. u r not cool
Hey Joe. I am going to check out the UFC fights in Columbus on March 7th and was wondering if you are going to perform somewhere over that weekend as well. I am coming from Wisconsin and would love to see both. I sent a message on MySpace, but I don’t know how much you actually check or update the site. Also, McGowan26b, all comedians do not steal jokes. Only the lame fucks without creativity like your so called Uncle Ned. He’s not funny anyway. Leave Mexican humor to REAL Mexicans. Ari’s joke was political so I doubt Ned could move past his OWN stereotypical comedy. Menstealia sucks!!!! I didn’t think he was funny from the first time I heard his lame ass comedy anyway. With a last name like McGowan you must be a REAL hispanic too huh?
Joe, I was at your 10:30 show on Saturday in Austin. My girl and I drove up from Houston, and it was worth it. At one point I laughed for 15 minutes straight. We were the table closest to the back exit, so it was a nice treat for us that you were back there during Ari’s set (also insanely funny).
I know you like crazy shit, so check out these 2 links next time your little girl is keeping you up until 5 AM:

Rogan –
I’m watching the segment with you on the Alex Jones show right now. Dude, good shit. I’m going to watch Jones get up on stage with Doug Stanhope as soon as this interview is over.
You don’t have any dates in MN on your new tour. WTF man? When you came to the Fineline in Minneapolis last year I was under 21 and the show was 21+, so i couldn’t make it. I’m still pissed I didn’t get to see you live!!! I know you probably don’t have much choice in your tour, but you better make a mental note of my disdain.
Also, I friend requested you on Facebook. So add Ben S—— when you get the chance.
Anyways, you’re the fucking man, man. I’ve watched your Netflix special at least 10 times and it is still hilarious. I totally think if we adopted your foreign policy of dropping bomber loads of chronic smoke on the Middle East we’d solve a lot of problems. Also, we should take a page from Bill Hicks and make pot mandatory!
We’re one day closer!!!!
-Bjammin
thank you for sharing the wonderful world of dance floor dale. it was indeed one of the funniest things i’ve seen in a long while.
why do people feel the need to become a member of your site just to heckle? i guess 12 year olds with nothing better to do, but skim a thesaurus to look for new interesting alternatives for ‘gay wad’ need somewhere to express themselves, since mommy and daddy are too hopped up on xanex to give a shit how their day went.
sorry about the rant.
anyways, i had a couple questions for you, and i figured you’re more qpt to answer on here than myspace.
GSP or BJ? i’ve been trying to wrap my mind around it for a while, and i think GSP is just to strong for BJ at this point in both their careers.
Is GSP – Anderson Silva going to happen?
lastly, where do you stand on women in MMA? i personally think that women should have a place in the UFC. i find the fights very exciting, both athletically, and sexually. haha.
keep up the good work. i’m not gonna suck your dick or anything, but i find your views well thought and insightful.
-Joseph
*apt*
It was so awesome to me to see that you liked Tim and Eric that I had to register here and share this video with you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwfD0gDRFkA
To me, that’s one of the funniest things ever. It’s a sketch called “Not Jackie Chan,” from the episode “Chan.”
I want to have Tim and Eric’s abortions.
PS
have you heard of waterbears?
Little microscopic organisms that live in poo water and have PAWS.
Joe, have you followed any of the story of Ted Haggard? I hope you have, and if you have what do you think? KOBB
I would like to square up w/ Joe Rogan in the Octagon!!!! Or if you are coming to Louisville, KY anytime we can just to a good ol’ fashioned street fight. If I win you have to post the video on your website of you losing…
Also what’s your take on the Denver Airport b.s. I have been reading about online?
So, Joe. The internet is a beautiful thing, but as I’m sure you’ve seen with the BME Pain Olympics an the notorious 2 girls 1 cup, the internet can also be a somewhat disturbing and nightmare inducing thing. So, just cuz I know u share my fascination with the morbid and fucked up things that are on the internet I would like to share with u one of my recent finds
http://www.efukt.com/134_Vaginoplasty.html
Dude
me and my friends get together and watch the ufc fights and put friendly wagers on each fight .i started about 5 fights ago wagering on what color shirt you would wear …it seems every time before that you would wear black…”what the fuck”
its cost me about a ben franklin or 2 so far since you QUIT WEARING A BLACK SHIRT…WEAR THE BLACK FREAKING SHIRT SO I CAN WIM MY CASH BACK
and give a shout out to Sir William of South my buddies will know who your talking about ….love the stand up…rock on
peace out
Sir William of South
[...] so-called “Internet.” it’s called Dancefloor Dale. Read about it (and watch it) here. Tags: Dancefloor Dale | Joe [...]
I think a more appropriate title for this video would be “The Conception of Whoopie Goldberg”.
When I was watching this I was getting flashbacks of being stoned out of my mine watching that damn Badger Badger Badger shit…whew…that was some killa. lol
Tim and Eric are two very smart dudes. They come up with some ate up shit but they know what their doing. I got to meet them in KC a few weeks ago when they were on tour. Their skits are just as hilarious and awkward in person if not more. Joe your the man. keep it real
Joe Rogan, you are funny. UFC 94, round 2 St. Pierre lands a right on BJ Penn’s chin. The crowd cheers. Rogan, “He (Penn) just got back to guard. Wow, how much has this sport changed? People just cheered when he got back to guard.”
You are way ahead, Rogan. Must be the mind expanding drugs. Namaste, motherfucker.
sorry to be off topic here but… I have been planning to go see Joe Rogan live at the improv in Tampa. however its a strictly 21 and up show, and im 20… FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! not cool! now ill never get a chance to see one of my favorite comedians live.. instead im sitting at home typing on a blog. You must look out for your fans under 21! /wrists
DUDE, if you guys want to see come funny shit watch doglover199709 videos on youtube it a young fat fucking girl dancing….and she thinks she is legit….check it out……http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEtP9zQAOI4
joe…i think i owe you an apology
i was the obnoxiously drunk guy in the club in vegas the friday night before the fight. don’t remember much, but met you and eddie bravo, and alex jones and joey. anyways, apparently i was really pestering you and kept tapping your shoulder saying ‘hey? hey! hey? hey!’…so if that’s the case, sorry for being annoying.
on a lighter note, i had one of the best weekends of my life. it was my first live mma experience and i was like a kid in a candy store. i can’t think of any other major sport where the athletes are so accessible and, almost without exception, so down to earth and approachable. from kid yamamoto to phil baroni to martin kampfmann. just one of the things that makes this sport so awesome. it was a great night of fights and an experience that i won’t soon forget.
anyway, not sure if this is the right forum for this message. if you ever find yourself in vancouver, canada, let me know…it would be nice to have a (sober) conversation.
peace
