‘The Simpsons’ Parody of Joe Rogan in New Episode Backfires

‘The Simpsons’ is famous not only for its witty humor but also for featuring many famous people. Big personalities like Patrick Harris, Conan O’Brien and Britney Spears have been featured on the show. However, the latest person to appear on the show is none other than UFC commentator and controversial podcaster Joe Rogan.

In season 33 episode 44, people get to see a parody version of Rogan. In the episode titled ‘You Won’t Believe What This Episode is About- Act Three Will Shock You!,’ Homer Simpson gets canceled because of a mistake. He is then socially ostracized.

Rogan is, of course, not named in the episode. As reported by ‘News Week‘, a character who is described as a “Right Wing Podcast Host” welcomes Homer to share his story when no one else was willing to do so. According to the website, the episode has, however, not been liked by critics and fans alike. His being portrayed as a right-wing podcast host was scrutinized by many as Rogan has never committed to this ideology.

‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ is one of the biggest podcasts currently. However, a number of episodes from his podcast were taken down a while back. Many artists have also shunned Spotify for their relationship with Rogan. Neil Young is one such example. The singer had demanded the platform make a choice between his music or Rogan’s podcast. As a result, Young’s songs were taken down.

So in the wake of so much going on, it seems like Rogan’s reference to ‘The Simpsons’ wasn’t well received.
