Published October 1, 2026

That's Crazy, Man. Have You Ever Done DMT? is an exploitable image macro of Joe Rogan from his podcast, pairing an unrelated setup with Rogan pivoting to psychedelics. Launched on r/JoeRogan in December 2018, it became the fan-favorite shorthand for mocking how reliably Rogan steers interviews toward DMT.

Overview

That's Crazy, Man. Have You Ever Done DMT? is a two-panel exploitable built from a still of Joe Rogan sitting across from a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience1. The setup panel shows the guest saying something, anything from a mundane observation to an elaborate pitch, and Rogan's panel caps the exchange with a flat pivot to dimethyltryptamine4.

The gag works because of how often Rogan actually brings up DMT in long-form interviews, so fans treat the image as a running punchline about his interview reflexes3. Early edits leaned on nerdy source material like video games, but the format accepts almost any setup since Rogan's reply never changes2.

On December 3rd, 2018, Reddit user poppyseedgiraffe posted the first version of the macro to /r/JoeRogan, using a frame of mathematician Eric Weinstein mid-conversation with Rogan and captioning Rogan's response with "That's crazy man. Have you ever done DMT?"1. The thread, titled "lol," picked up more than 8,100 points and over 300 comments inside a month, with a 94% upvote rate1.

The joke draws on years of Rogan openly discussing his DMT trips on the podcast, a running thread documented in supercut videos pulled from the show3. Those compilations gave posters a shared reference point before anyone turned the bit into a repeatable image macro4.

How It Spread

The format moved off Reddit quickly. On December 5th, 2018, Twitter user @F1NG3RSMUSIC posted a Metal Gear Solid version swapping the guest frame for a scene from the game2. Within days, variations started cycling back through /r/JoeRogan, including a December 10th post by Redditor Subrosa34 that reframed the punchline around a 4-year-old doing a somersault, which pulled in more than 5,100 points and roughly 70 comments over two weeks4.

Merch followed almost immediately. On December 14th, 2018, the Funny DMT Apparel storefront listed a "That's Crazy Have You Ever Tried DMT" T-shirt on Amazon, turning the catchphrase into wearable fan merchandise less than two weeks after the original post went up5.

The exploitable is still a go-to inside the Joe Rogan fandom whenever a guest's monologue invites a DMT pivot, and the Rogan reaction frame is still passed around any time his psychedelic talk surfaces in a new clip3.
