Rogan's other recent studio arrangements did not fare any better in the comments. Many fans roasted the comedian's decor choices from the beginning of his podcasting days.

Such a great show. RIP Phil Hartman.

Of course, any studio Rogan sets up will always bear comparisons to the set of News Radio, where he made the jump from a stand-up comedian to a sitcom actor.

I guess surrounding oneself with masculine signifiers is easier than doing any self-reflection

Some fans made grim commentary about the state of masculinity itself based on Rogan's decorations. They pitied him for having few options that would fit into the aesthetic he wanted to project.

Seems to be the macho faux rugged equivalent of the faux artisinal wedding aesthetic.
The "hip" neo-calvanist evangelicals love it too. Essentially it's the stupid man who thinks he's clever look. pic.twitter.com/Ju03SJJp6o

In addition to a restaurant, many compared Rogan's set-up to a faux-rustic wedding.

Rogan's previous red-light set-up was compared to the inside of a video game console — a location that would likely please many of his die-hard fans.

On the surface, some thought the barbecue aesthetic was intentional, and that it must reflect Rogan's recent move from California to Texas.

Cuz Bill Burr gave him shit for having the American Flag as a backdrop.

and the reaction to that interesting, red studio pretty much proves the majority of his audience are not sycophantic dude-bros cause those guys would accept his show on youtube if it was shot in an english tea house with doilies and sugar cubes.
In truth, some fans really had dedicated some thought to Rogan's shifting aesthetic, and they had legitimate theories about why these changes had been made. Some even went further, refreshing their generalizations about his fanbase based on these changes.
