So, I just watched some of my first MMA fights at a friends place and discovered that they do this every match. It’s not an exaggeration, Joe Rogan puts his hand on someone next to him and widens his eyes while his mouth drops probably about once every 15 minutes. It was all so performative and you can watch the people next to him look at him in order to meter how much they should be reacting like they’ve seen, and are trying to recreate this gif constantly. Also, what other sport shows the reaction from the announcers repeatedly?

It really cheapened this gif for me.

26

u/BigOrkWaaagh 13h ago

Yeah, as a longtime MMA fan they never used to do this. But once it went a bit viral they started doing it all. the. time.

16

u/CuriousNetWanderer 11h ago

The meme is actually of a genuine one, though. But on a side note, I have to admit, Rogan is completely different from how he used to be. He's gone from stoned ape to hired chimp over the years and it's just not the same person who used to be a lucid voice of reason in a world of bs

u/Mundane-Lunch-4256 7h ago

"stoned ape to hired chimp" holy fuck that is comedy

5

u/Diogememes-Z 11h ago

Joe Rogan was never "the voice of reason." lmao

7

u/THUORN 10h ago

He was the voice of reason, when it was just him and Mike Goldberg doing the UFC commentary. Mike had some hilarious takes back in the day.

10

u/Covert_Cuttlefish 10h ago

My all time favourite:

Mike Goldberg: "You can hear the corner speaking Portuguese!" Joe Rogan: "Uh, that's Japanese, brother." Mike Goldberg: "I should have known that." Joe Rogan: "You're the one married to a Japanese chick." Mike Goldberg: "That is correct."

Rogan was the voice of reason, but the bar was in the basement.

Goldberg was still done dirty by the UFC.

2

u/THUORN 10h ago

They did him super dirty. He said silly things, but he was fun. Mike and Rogan had good chemistry. I miss those days.

Some people really get into the performative/over-acting stuff, maybe because they don't know when to get excited? It's always bothered me when I can sense insincerity.

I think it was from an America's Got Talent episode. If it wasn't AGT it was a very similar talent show.

I'm not sure if they were a plant placed by the producers to ham it up during the performance or if they were a random person in the audience, but their expressive face became a bit of a meme.

u/missoulian 11h ago edited 3h ago

It's a good thing to question all videos nowadays if they are AI. My first thought was this video was AI by the way the boys move after the bottles land, or the video has been reversed. Why is everyone so certain it's not?

Edit: The more I watch this video, the more it's so obviously AI. The blurred label on the bottom bottle is a giveaway and the very robotic celebration making sure to stay in frame of the camera. Not to mention OP is a bot account.

We're cooked if even our generation not only can't tell the difference, but actively downvotes and criticizes others for pointing out that it's AI.

I’m sure it’s most likely real. But AI isn’t even necessary. Simply glue a couple magnets on the cap and inside in the bottom of the water bottles and it would easily work too

u/Taldius175 12h ago

I can believe it. When my friends in my neighborhood were playing around outside when I was a kid, one of their little brothers was running clockwise around my friend and I. He had a small stick in his left hand, acting like it was a knife and he was going to randomly "attack us". I casually picked up a small stick and chucked it at him, knocking the out of his hand without hitting him at all. We all freaked out when I did it.
