Joe Rogan has done it again! The UFC commentator and host of the immensely popular JRE (Joe Rogan Podcast) is no stranger to making waves on the internet. This time, he shared an AI-generated video on his X account that blends humor, music, and politics in a way only modern technology could pull off. The video, titled ‘The Drill’, features none other than Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and other massive figures in industry and politics in a music video to the track ‘T-Pain’ by Pete & Bas. Sound wild? It is!

The clip wasn’t just a quirky internet meme—it’s a glimpse into the future of entertainment. Rogan credited the Dor Brothers, pioneers in AI-generated visuals, for the masterpiece. These digital alchemists have been creating ripples in the media world, crafting viral videos for titans like Snoop Dogg and French Montana. But this wasn’t just a flex of their technical prowess; it was a cultural commentary, wrapped in a layer of humor.

The video features world leaders and industry titans like Musk and Zuckerberg engaged in various scenarios that also feature pop-culture references like the hit series, ‘Peaky Blinders’ and more! At the time of writing, the video has already crossed the 2 million mark on YouTube, highlighting its ability to capture the attention of the online fandom and Rogan’s bump by sharing it on X might have also contributed to the rise in its popularity.

Joe Rogan’s 14.2M followers on X couldn’t get enough of the video as they flooded the internet with a mix of humor, nostalgia, and their thoughts on the incredible advent of AI. Here’s a look at what the netizens had to say!

Fans left clutching their sides and questioning reality over Joe Rogan’s latest post on social media

Fans pointed out that Joe Rogan sharing the video which parodies popular culture and important political figures is a sign that “comedy is back now”. The JRE host’s issue with the internet backlash over jokes and movies isn’t a secret either. During the JRE MMA Show no. 154, Rogan had stated, “Tropic Thunder would be impossible today, impossible today…”

“So happy that comedy is back now. No more cancelling people for jokes.”

Others were left questioning reality at how far AI generated content has come in recent years. The Dor Brothers, creators of the video shared by Rogan, aren’t just your average tech-savvy creators. They’re trailblazers in AI-generated visuals. Starting their journey in traditional music and video production, they ventured into animation before discovering the magic of AI image generation in 2022. Today, their resume is as impressive as their videos. With over 200 clips viewed by millions worldwide, the Dor Brothers have collaborated with music legends, luxury brands, and even spoken at major tech conferences.

“The simulation really is on another level at this point.”

Some fans added their own hilarious jabs about their experiences at work, relating them to the clips shown in the video!

“Perfect way to explain how my shift at work has been so far”

Another fan threw a curveball with a comment about the video’s rapid-fire lyrics claiming that while it was tough for them to understand the words, it was still “awesome”. They also gave a shout-out to the ‘Beastie Boys’, the iconic hip-hop/rack group that hailed from New York City and are considered pioneers in their own right! What did you think about the song in the video shared by Rogan?

“Fricking awesome! Was that in English? I didn’t understand a damn word they said. I miss the Beastie Boys”

But beyond the jokes, and nostalgic reminiscence of bands, some fans also pointed out the drastic changes in the media landscape being made through AI. In fact, Rogan himself had stated during a past episode of the JRE with Duncan Trussel that the rise of AI would be like, “culturally a meteor that is smashing into the Earth soon. Really soon, yeah, and we have no idea what’s going to survive, we have no idea what kind of a reimagining of civilization will occur when this thing goes fully online”

“Okay this is crazy, we are headed towards some wild media in the next few years. I bet this took a hefty compute load to create.”

In conclusion, Joe Rogan’s post isn’t just about a funny video—it’s a sign of where entertainment is headed. AI is no longer just a tool for tech enthusiasts. It’s becoming a medium for storytelling, humor, and even social commentary. But as Rogan’s fans revel in the hilarity, there’s an undercurrent of reflection. Are we ready for the meteoric rise of AI in media? As Rogan once said, the cultural shift AI brings might be as unpredictable as it is inevitable. Are we entering a golden age of AI-driven content, or is this just the beginning of a much bigger conversation? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
