Stop Carlos Mencia

[PhotoJones]

1.I've read up on Mencia. His father is Hondouran, his mother is Mexican. And yes his real name is Ned. Stage names are very common in show buisness.
2."Stealing" material from other comics is a time honoured tradition in comedy. In fact most won't tell other comics their routines before they preform it themselfs so someone can't steal it.
3.He's not racist. Or rather he's racist versus everything, and everyone. He's an equal opporunity hater.
4.Rogan is an egomanical arse. He though that he a guy who isn't that funny, and has 0 pull could take on a guy who has a hit show and can gaurentee box office/ratings and him not get the shaft? That's moronic and stupid.

just out curiosity, but are you defending him?

Mencia>Rogan. And I watched his show to see if I could find the racist race hater Mencia. I found him to not exist. Also do you have any ides how petty and defensive comics are with each other?

yeah, i do. i used to live with a stand up comic, and i got to tell you: no one repsects carlos mencia. everyone looks at him as a hack.

Then you know that if you do stand up someone and some point is gonna steal a bit from you. That's how the comedy game is played. And if Rogan doesn't like that he shouldn't be doing comedy. Actually he shouldn't be doing comedy anyway, he sucks.

actually, you're completely wrong about stealing material being some "time honored tradition". it's not. being caught stealing material is the equivelant to the black spot.

It's like plastic surgery in hollywood. Lots of people do it, but no one wants to admit it.

Ugh. Do we need ANOTHER f**king thread about this?

I take full responsibility for starting the Mencia/Cook hate threads that have been cropping up over the past couple days.

Your honesty is admirable. But, we're still going to have to flog you for your indiscretion.

Well, there's a huge list of people that want to dole out some lashes. The only fair way will probably be a lottery to see who gets to go after me.

The worst thing is I used to like the dude. But then I found out how much of that **** he stole. :

I actually agree with Lars. I'm no Carlos Mencia fan...hell, I think I've seen Mind of Mencia once...but regards, even if he does steal jokes it isn't the jokes that are carrying his career. His delivery is fairly unique and it is what is really carrying his career. Joe Rogan could have the funniest material on the face of the earth and still be able to do jack **** with it. Why? Because Rogan lacks comedic timing and charisma.

I'll still watch Mencia is there's nothing else on televison.

 

[Paste Pot Pete]

Gee, all this time I thought Carlos Mencia was just an unfunny hack.

Now I found out that it's really other people being unfunny! I don't know how I feel about this.

Okay Jag...damn, and you have all the equipment for that too, don't you

 

[Spider-Who?]

it seems that some of you are thinking that it is okay to steal other peoples work. Well, its not. Even if it goes unmentioned, it is not okay. You, as a comic, get respect by making your OWN jokes, not taking from someone else, just like any other profession. It isnt just Rogan that Mencia steals from. Its from anyone and everyone whose jokes Mencia likes. And if it is okay for himi to do that, then why did George Lopez deck Mencia after watching the hack perform over 13minutes of Lopezes material on an HBO special and why do the comics who perform at the same club Menica visits have a signal for when Mencia enters the room, so they can (hopefully) stop their bit before mencia steals it?
