Joe Rogan slams Australian satire show after mistaking viral joke ad for \u201cpropaganda\u201d YouTube: Joe Rogan \/ ABCJoe Rogan slammed an Australian satire show after mistaking a joke video for \u201cpropaganda\u201d but eventually cottoned on after it went viral and acknowledged he\u2019d made a mistake. The comedian and podcast host took a swipe at a video he described as \u201cdumb propaganda.\u201d He posted it on Instagram and was under the impression that it was a government-endorsed ad. It starts off with a man having an allergic reaction, falling to the floor, and refusing to let a bystander help him. He asks what\u2019s in the medication, how long it\u2019s been researched for, what statistics say about it, and what Joe Rogan says about it. Finally, the man urges the bystander to \u201cCall Joe\u201d before passing out. A narrator says, \u201cWe don\u2019t question the science when our lives depend on it. So why question it when millions of lives depend on it?\u201d Rogan wasn\u2019t terribly impressed when he saw the video. He wrote: \u201cNot only has Australia had the worst reaction to the pandemic with dystopian, police-state measures that are truly inconceivable to the rest of the civilized world, but they also have the absolute dumbest propaganda.\u201d View this post on Instagram It turns out, though, that the video wasn\u2019t an official government video. It was actually a joke advertisement from a satirical show called Gruen, which airs on ABC iView and ABC TV every Wednesday. One of the creators behind the video, Nick Hunter, told 9 News: \u201cGruen is a satirical show. The point of the video was to talk about some of the issues anti-vaxxers have and put it in a humorous context to show the ridiculousness of what is out there.\u201d Rogan later edited his post and acknowledged the ad was from a satirical show: \u201cEDIT: apparently, this is not a real ad. It\u2019s from a satirical show.\u201d Despite his edit, the post is blowing up on social media. Some fans genuinely thought it was real, while others laughed at his mistake. Rogan came under fire recently over his decision to use medication that can also treat heartworms in animals. He responded to the backlash by telling haters to \u201cstay salty.\u201d The video loosely poked fun at that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
