Capture the chaotic energy of Kurt Metzger’s latest appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience with the definitive piece of comedy memorabilia from January 2026. As seen worn by the man himself during his legendary rant on JRE Episode #2434, the Kurt Metzger DERP To Keep Kurp Off Surp Shirt is more than just a parody—it’s a flag for the “unmanageable” comedy fan.
Joe Rogan Experience DERP To Keep Kurp Off Surp Shirt – The “Kurp” Aesthetic
The shirt is a masterclass in ironic streetwear. The design features a jagged, aggressive red font that instantly evokes the memories of 1990s anti-drug school assemblies, flipping the script with a nonsensical, hyper-specific inside joke.
The graphic dominates the chest with the acronym “D.E.R.P.” stylized to mimic the iconic D.A.R.E. splatter logo. Below it, the tagline “TO KEEP KURP OFF SURP!” is written in a handwritten, frantic comic font. The stark contrast of the blood-red text against the black background ensures maximum visibility, making it perfect for podcast recordings, comedy club outings, or just confusing people at the grocery store. It is a visual representation of Kurt Metzger’s comedic brand: loud, slightly confusing to the uninitiated, and hilariously raw.

Why The Shirt Went Viral?
This shirt exploded in popularity after Kurt Metzger wore it during a high-profile appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, paired with his signature eccentric accessories (often a raccoon hat). The slogan “Keep Kurp Off Surp” instantly meme-fied his candid, often self-deprecating discussions about sobriety and his chaotic lifestyle, turning a personal struggle into a hilarious rallying cry for his fanbase. It perfectly captured the raw, unpolished vibe of the podcast, prompting thousands of listeners to search for the meaning behind “Kurp” and “Surp” and demand their own version of the tee.
