“Why Are People Laughing?” – Joe Rogan Takes a Swipe at ‘The Big Bang Theory’ as He Declares Sitcoms a Dying Genre

As a stand-up comic himself, Joe Rogan has his own standards for comedy. Whether it is a stand-up show or a sitcom, Rogan has his own opinions on deciding whether they are funny. It does not matter how mainstream a show is, if it’s not funny to him, he will say it out loud. And that is exactly what Rogan did recently for ‘The Big Bang Theory.’

‘The Big Bang Theory’ is one of the modern-day sitcoms with a large fan following. Like a lot of sitcoms, it uses canned laughter to supplement the jokes. However, if it does not make you laugh without the laugh track. is the show actually funny?

This is the dispute Rogan raised during a recent episode of his podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience.’ The 55-year-old hosted fellow stand-up comic Ms. Pat on his Spotify podcast. The pair discussed Pat’s own sitcom before Rogan brought up his issues with ‘The Big Bang Theory.’

Joe Rogan and Ms. Pat started off their conversation by discussing comedy. As stand-up comics, the duo shared a mutual interest in all things comedy. Rogan paid her compliments for the success of her own sitcom. The former Fear Factor host was glad the show found success.

He said, “I’m glad your show is doing so well because that genre for comedians is a dying genre. You don’t really see sitcoms much anymore.”

Pat said that although there were sitcoms being made, comedians did not drift towards them anymore. Rogan also talked about the quality of the sitcoms that are made today. While expressing his dissatisfaction, he brought up ‘The Big Bang Theory.’

The BJJ black belt said, “I saw a clip of The Big Bang Theory and it was The Big Bang Theory but without the laughs. They removed the laughs so you can see what the show actually is. Why are people laughing? This is strange.”
