What is Oppenheimer’s famous quote? Dave Chappelle leaves Joe Rogan in splits as he responds to scientist’s words
AUSTIN, TEXAS: Renowned UFC commentator and stand-up comedian Joe Rogan is also the host of the popular podcast 'The Joe Rogan Experience'. Recently, a video clip from a 'JRE' episode featuring Rogan and fellow comedian Dave Chappelle went viral across social media platforms. In the clip, they engaged in a discussion about Oppenheimer's famous quote.
J Robert Oppenheimer aka Oppenheimer, a brilliant scientist, derived his famous quote, "I am become death," from a holy book, The Bhagavad Gita, where Lord Krishna used the phrase to help his disciple Arjuna understand the workings of the universe. Oppenheimer himself used this quote to express his feelings after his involvement in creating the atomic bomb, which resulted in the devastating loss of thousands of lives. The viral video clip sheds light on this topic and also reveals Chappelle's reaction to the profound quote, adding a touch of humor to the conversation.
‘The f**k you talking about?’
During an episode of 'Joe Rogan Experience', Rogan and Chappelle engaged in a discussion about Christopher Nolan's latest film, 'Oppenheimer'. During the conversation, Rogan brought up one of the most famous quotes said by scientist Oppenheimer: "I am become death, destroyer of worlds."
Upon hearing the quote, Chappelle initially seemed ready to respond with a sincere comment. However, true to his comedic style, Chappelle's delivery and execution took a humorous turn, leaving the audience in fits of laughter. He introduced a fictional character named Earl Charles a black man who, according to Chappelle, was present with Oppenheimer when he made the quote. Dave humorously claimed that Earl Charles had a witty response to Oppenheimer's statement, which added to the comedic moment of the exchange as he built Rogan's curiosity. “Shut the f**k up. The f**k you talking about?,” said Chappelle, completing his joke. Rogan couldn't contain his laughter and ended up playfully teasing the legendary scientist. The video clip of this hilarious moment quickly went viral, generating buzz ahead of the highly anticipated release of the movie "Oppenheimer."
