‘Fat Jew’ Instagram Joke Thief Slammed by Patton Oswalt, Joe Rogan & More

When the man with the Instagram handle @FatJewish is described as a comedian some would say that term is being used loosely. Just the other day Josh Ostrovsky, otherwise known as the Fat Jew, signed a huge contract with the talent agency CAA and a lot of people were angry by the move. Comedians like Patton Oswalt, Brian Redban, Doug Stanhope and Joe Rogan slammed Ostrovsky for stealing other people's material and reposting it as his own.

These are his top 50 instances of theft on the Internet.

Rogan discussed it on their podcast and even Buzzfeed's Ben Rosen took his shot.

You can listen to Rogan talk about it on the Joe Rogan Experience below:

Oswalt's attack on the Fat Jew was probably the loudest – which is usually the case in these situations. The comic called Ostrovsky an "aggregator" and led his attack by putting the word "aggregate" into famous song titles. Jane's Addiction and Prince all got rewrites.

My favorite Jane's Addiction song is "Been Caught Aggregating."

Always chokes me up in "Purple Rain" when Prince sings, "Baby I could never aggregate you from another..." — Patton Oswalt (@pattonoswalt) August 15, 2015

Doug Stanhope joked he never wrote anything funny on Twitter for fear of having his jokes stolen. He was hoping though that the Fat Jew would retweet his tour schedule but sadly this never happened.

I never wrote anything funny on Twitter cuz of @FatJew. But he never stole & RT'd my tour schedule. So it's a wash. @pattonoswalt — Doug Stanhope (@DougStanhope) August 17, 2015

A better list would be comics that have dumped CAA or boycotted Comedy Central for signing @FatJew. That'd be inspiring. Anyone? Anyone? — Doug Stanhope (@DougStanhope) August 17, 2015

Brian Redban from the Joe Rogan Experience called for Amazon to stop endorsing the Fat Jew.

Ok @ComedyCentral and now @Seamless no longer working for @fatjew - @AppleMusic @Beats1 @amazon do whats right. https://t.co/9zkuH2N2Y6 — brian redban (@redban) August 18, 2015

Ben Rosen from Buzzfeed doesn't just dislike Ostrovsky; he actually fell victim to him at one time.

Thanks FatJewish for straight up stealing my tweet without any credit whatsoever. pic.twitter.com/iELnQ0YHMD — Ben Rosen (@Rosen) August 14, 2015

The most viral attack on the Fat Jew came from writer Maura Quint. Her tweet calling out Ostrovsky gained more than 3,900 retweets.

"The Fat Jew is someone whose entire career is simply stealing jokes from tumblr, twitter, etc. He is making a living off of the hard work of other people. The people he steals from are struggling writers, comedians, etc.," she writes.

Most of us here know @fatjew is shit, but your FB friends might not. Help them. I wrote this, use or write your own! pic.twitter.com/FFgPpiEtVC — (maura) (@behindyourback) August 15, 2015
