    Joe Rogan at Capitol City Comedy Club

    Plenty of stand-ups are convinced society is currently engaged in a long, dumb trudge toward the world portrayed in Idiocracy, but few modern comics register their discontent about it as loudly as Joe Rogan. Of course, Rogan-hosted fare like Fear Factor and The Man Show is only a few steps removed from Ow! My Balls, so maybe all this Sam Kinison-style screaming and fretting about being out-bred by the dumb is merely a corrective. Off the comedy club stage, Rogan has transitioned into roles as both a mixed martial arts expert and a frequent guest on The Alex Jones Show—two perfect avenues to vent his outrage. If only conspiracy theories pulled as many laughs as his righteous takedowns of Carlos Mencia.
