We really do need to stop Carlos Mencia.

swamp_of_dumb: mud_shark: Lots of haters in this thread - I think Carlos is funny and I don't care if he stole his material (who did he steal it from and why aren't they entertaining me instead? whoever it is should blame their agent).


Because some of them are dead. (new window)

Just to be original, you sound fat.

/and unfocused


That example is quite a stretch - Is no comic allowed to tell jokes about any topic that has already been covered before?

Granted, Kinison did it better and why the hell is it that all of the good ones have to die young (okay, Carlin was old when he kicked it, but Sam Kinison died too young)

And I am unfocused or maybe even out of focus. You say that like it's a bad thing. I actually enjoy it.

mud_shark: kakaPoo: Your thought process, it is not focused.

Oh yeah?

I think I'm very focused. After I finish the beer I'm currently drinking I'm going downstairs to get another one. And then I'll repeat the process until I either pass out or all the beer is gone, but I've played this game a few times and I've learned that I hate running out of beer, so I guarantee you I'll pass out before I run out of beer. How much more focused than that do you expect me to be?

Oh, and that's a really nice potato growing out of your head.


At first I was trying to figure out if you said that because I'm an Irishman living in California or because I found out last week that I have a brain tumour... Then I realised that you couldn't possibly know either of those things, so I'm satisfied.

I had to attend a traffic school class taught by Garfield the Cat after my dewie. At least I think it was him.

 
This poster says 2009-07-11 08:11:25 PM  
Trickinosis: I live in Orange County, and I'm pretty sure the last time I signed up for traffic school (about 1 yr ago) i saw about 7 different advertisements for comedy traffic school and pizza traffic school. I went to the one in Newport because I knew there would be hotter girls than Huntington.

I think I went to that one years ago

Think it was called Pizza4U or something along those lines.

The dude teaching the class was an old lawyer. He was also a defense lawyer for OJ Simpson years back. He explained how there's much more money in traffic school than practicing certain areas of law--this is just because this whole traffic citation / driving school thing is a huge extortion scheme by the courts in California. He went onto say, "I'm collecting [forget how much it was, it was years ago] from each of you for a few hours work. Most of the time I'm just throwing on videos."

/Pay us $x more, and we'll keep it off your record, indeed

At least the Denis Leary haters can tell me who he stole his jokes from and here's something for you Hicks fans to chew on - maybe Leary told those jokes better.

I'm not real clear on the law here, but apparently we cannot take a defensive driving class and you know what? I think that's a good idea. The classes are bullshiat and you don't learn anything anyway - it's like a get-out-of-your-ticket-for-half-price if you're willing to sit through it.

And the last 2 times I took a defensive driving class to get out of a ticket, I did it online (even though there were "comedy classes" available). I logged in, I paid 20% attention and aced them. I also drank the whole time. The last one I took was great - There were about 20 questions left, but I knew I could flunk every single one of them and still pass.

The biggest hassle was the idiot clerk at the court who could not calculate the number of days I had to fulfill the requirement of taking defensive driving and go without a ticket. She was just another civil servant who didn't speak English - at least Carlos Mencia has mastered the language.


You're an Idiot.

Mencia Stole from COSBY, KINISON, The Amazing Racist, Lopez, and probably a lot of unknown comics who are coming into their own.

Still not seeing the theft. I think there's a lot of butthurt going around. Mencia was an unknown comic for years before he got famous - others are jealous of him, and I can't blame them, but if you still want to insist he stole all his material, I'm still willing to evaluate your "evidence".

Bonanza Jellybean: Ned Holness. Honduran and German.

He sucks and is a joke thief, but get it right.

At the time of his birth, his Mexican mother, Magdelena Mencía, was engaged in a domestic dispute with his Honduran father, Roberto Holness

Born in Honduras to a Mexican mom and a Honduran dad, raised in East LA which is basically north Mexico. I think Rogan was the one who started the half German BS.

Being called an idiot on Fark is a lot like being called a genius on Fark. It's meaningless.

I've reviewed the submitted links where Mencia supposedly stole from Cosby and Kinison. I didn't find any merit in them, but here's a link in his defense:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPuu_VE7KOA&feature=related

Seriously, show me a concrete example of a joke he actually stole - stop pussyfooting around. And why do you care so much? Are you concerned that Sam Kinison and Bill Cosby are having to wait in line at soup kitchens to get their next meal?

(Yeah, I know, Kinison is dead and Cosby isn't exactly hurting for money - won't somebody think of the children though? - How is that last question for unfocused?)

Oh, and by the way, the last shiat my cat left in her litterbox smells like Kinison's ass - don't ask me how I know that, it's just one of those things I'm sure of).

I'm pretty sure I would have an easier time explaining how you stole that reply from any number of people than you would have explaining how Mencia stole the linked bit from Cosby.

Stevie Wonder, really? Is he blind or something? Oh, yes he is - that's why you think your post is funny.

Sorry, but you failed the audition for a spot on Family Guy.

Wow.. So, not only do you have the shiattiest sense of humor possible to thing Mencia is funny, you are a shiatty driver, and are so bad at it, that you worry about the number of days you go without getting tickets.

You pretty much suck at life, don't you?

As for evidence of stealing jokes, he stole one damn near word-for-word from one of Lewis Black's albums. I own all his albums, know 'em all, and for some reason or another watched the opening act of MoM, and he did LB's bit. He can fark off and die.

No one is saying he stole ALL of his material, just the funny parts. You're entitled to your opinion of Mencia being funny, and I'm entitled to my opinion of your opinion being a really crappy opinion. You'll meet a lot more people who can't stand Ned, than those who actually like him.

South Park told it like it is, and showed what most comedians would like to do to Mencia. All Ned Holness does is find new ways to rip off new material and yell out "Dee Dee Dee!". He's the Larry The Cable Guy for the profoundly retarded.

Leary gets shiat because he pulled a large chunk of No Cure For Cancer from Dangerous and Relentless verbatim. Other comedians covering the same topic is OK, but Leary did it verbatim. Bill Hicks was antisocial and didn't play the entertainment politics game (he hated Hollywood and everything about it - listen to his routines about Jay Leno), and Leary was on the Nike commercials with Bo Jackson, which is why more people know Leary and let it slide. He didn't tell the jokes better, he was the more well-known name that played entertainment politics and kissed ass to get into Hollywood (who will let ripping off material slide).

The only comedian on the radio I hear mention Leary's name is Artie Lange, and that's because he only opens his mouth to kiss Howard's ass, say stupid off-topic insults, mention Norm McDonald and/or Dirty Work, or mention Leary and Rescue Me, and even he mentions the whole Bill Hicks rip-off controversy.

Mencia is a fraud, and a stupid one at that. Comedy Central should take his slot and give it to Charlie Murphy, who IMHO is much funnier.

/Artie was funnier when he was showing donuts into his mouth.
//Looks like Baby Gorilla is going to need Traffic School now.
///Would pay to see that fat farkhead in traffic school with Carlos Mencia. Maybe he'd try to beat him up. It would be funnier than him on Howard.

He's (surprisingly enough) a really funny comedian. See his bit in "The Aristicrats". Hell, the video of his bit is up on Youtube. If grandma went to see him because she thinks he'll be the family-friendly guy like on "America's Funniest Videos" (sic), they will be sorely disappointed.

Lets see, racist jokes can be really funny if they arent all about the first, easiest stereotype.

Every Mexican joke is about "beaners" or something like that
Every Asian joke is about bad drivers

I forget who I was watching, but his joke was about blacks and Grape Drink and he was talking about the old Sunny Delight commercials of the 90's where the kids are peering into the fridge looking through Milk, Soda, Purple stuff, and they all settle on the Sunny D. The comic was saying that if you look close at the black kid, he really wants the purple stuff.

Stuff like that, funny

Funny, Dave Chappelle(sp?) pretty much had that same joke, I'd bet word for word. I think the most annoying thing about Mencia is that he chose to become a comic but decided he didn't want to do any of that 'work' bullshiat and instead opted to snatch acts from other comics, sometimes almost verbatim.
