First I have to say this has been the best site for comments about carlos mencia so far. Everyone here has different views about this situation and is cool as fuck…Shit!!!I was even called an idiot by this chick, because of what I wrote earlier. I checked other sites, but everyone seemed to be one sided about the issue and that is boring. Anyways let’s get back to topic. I never wrote drunk and fucked up before, but this will be the first time. I have talked a lot of shit about Carlos and how he steals jokes and how he is not creative, well I thought i’ve been a little judgemental and cruel against Carlos and his fans about the issue of plagiarism in comedy and then I was thinking a little harder and decided I wasn’t cruel enough!!!!FUCK CARLOS!!!!! FUCK HIS SHOW!!!!!FUCK HIS STAND UP COMEDY!!!! AND FUCK HIS PLAGIARISM ASS NICE AND HARD!!!!!!Anyone in the entertainment business that needs to copy others to be funny or be notice is a fucking fraud. Everyone should do the same thing that George Lopez did to Carlos, beat the shit out of him!!!!

PS. Dave Chapelle needs to come back!!!!

Look, its not right to defend Mencia by saying “Everyone steals.” Just because everyone does it, does not make it right. And there was a comment that asked “Who owns jokes?” The writers own jokes. Its called copyright, or intellectual property. Mencia should be careful with his BS, because he can seriously be sued over that. Hell, Comedy Central could be sued for it. As blatant as Mencia is, I wonder why the comedians don’t sue him. As for Joe Rogan’s only hit show being on Fear Factor. Umm, Rogan is a commentator on UFC, he’s an MMA fighter himself (although not by anymeans pro) AND he’s a comedian. Its one thing to use inspiration and change it around to make it your own, its quite another thing to take and recite another person’s joke word for word and claim it as your own.

Marianne, maybe if Carlos took some crack he would probably be more creative…lol.. Listen, If your not good at your job, you’ll get fired, and if you steal, you get arrested. Everyone who has a family, has to support their family, but if either of does two thigs are done, they wouldn’t be able to, would they. The difference with musicians taking other musicians songs, is that they actually purchase the copyright to the songs and acknowledge the original artist. Their was another idiot called “Vanilla ice” Who took the beats from the song “Under Pressure” by “Queen and David Bowie” and didn’t acknowlege it, not only did he almost got sued, but does anybody knows where he is right now???? Carlos doesn’t even give credit to the original comedians when he steals their jokes. That’s not a comedian that’s a thief. I understand that comedians have taken a few jokes from another and changed it a little bit, but carlos performed an HBO special with nothing but other comedians jokes!!! I don’t think one joke belonged to him. I thought he was a comedian not an interpreter. For someone to call themselves an artist, they have to be original and creative, otherwise that person is not an artist, he is a fraud. Which is exactly what Carlos is!!!!!!

Answer this…If you had an opportunity to make yourself rich…better support yourself/family…wouldn’t you steal jokes too? Do you really think that this celebrity cares what most people think? He’s dee, dee, deeing all the way to the bank! They take comic books and turn them into movies, they remake the same movies over and over, bands do cover songs…the list goes on and on. “Imitation is the best form of flattery.” Personally I think he’s funny. Never heard his jokes before and could care less what Fear Factor Joe has to say. Speaking of…seen Joe on UFC? Obviously steroids! Oh…but wouldn’t that mean he stole that idea from body builders??? (GASP!!!)

I could give a rip if he stole a joke from another comedian who told the joke in the 80’s. I never heard the joke from Cosby when Bill first told it. Should I miss out on that craziness because I’m to young to have heard it in the 80’s? Ned also changed the joke, a little anywayz, and delivered it with the enthusiam and attitude that my generation likes. Artists have been stealing “recycling” material since time began. Red Hot Chili Peppers doing a Stevie Wonder song… I didn’t like the original from Stevie but loved the remake. Get over it everyone.

All of you motherfuckers that are bending over and defending Carlos Mencia must be just as talentless and have the same lack of creativity as he does. I heard a lot of people here saying that many comedians stole from another, that may be true, but name one of these jerkoffs that made an impact in the comedy business!!! Plus the comedians that steals, at least tries to make the jokes different, Carlos on the other hand don’t even make the effort of switching the jokes, he tells it exactly the same. I swear, all of you bitches that are defending Carlos should just kneel down behind him, stick out your tongue, and slowly start licking his balls all the way thru his asshole!!! I think the more into the future that we are getting in, more and more people are just getting dumber and dumber. For all of you motherfuckers that are defending carlos let me ask yall a question, let’s say for some miraculous reason, yall invent something new that will make you lots of money. Since yall like to kiss Carlos ass so much, yall would event the “Ass potion number 9″ is similar to the “love potion number 9″ but how it works is a little different, and it works as follow: The group of people that this product is target for, is for all the people that have no talent. What they would do, is spray some of that shit on their ass, they don’t have to go crazy with it, just a substantial amount. As he is sitting on a bus full of people or any public place unnoticeably, all of a sudden he passes gas. All of the people that are just as mindless that are around him, would all of a sudden line up one by one, pucker their lips, take a nice long wiff, and give it a nice long kiss on their talentless asses making that particular loser the most popular person in the whole community. Shit!!!! that would make millions!!! But!!! some other bumfuck goes ahead and steals your idea, and make lots of money doing so, while you are still sitting home, on your ass thinking of new mindless shit to invent….Tell me yall wouldn’t be pist!!!!!

wait wait, i saw John’s comment. first of all, those comedians that are “whining” that carlos stole their joke, not all of them are spoiled. is george lopez spoiled? no, george lopez beat up Ned Holness for that, Neddy stole 13 minutes of GEorge Lopez’s Material. George Lopez is not spoiled, retard. He grew up with a tough childhood because his grandma would never let him do ANYTHING, birthday party? no, and not only that, she beat his ass a lot. so don’t even say SHIT about George Lopez when you know NOTHING about him son of a bitch.

well, there’s nothing wrong with retelling a funny joke you heard in an every day setting, but if you make money telling jokes, and you’re stealing the jokes from other people that make their money making those jokes, that changes it, and it’s not very fair. to be honest, it’s just not very respectable. the fact that he actually got famous, and all that comedy central love from using other people’s material is pretty disappointing.

I’m going with John on this one. Comedians have been stealing each other’s material ever since the first comedians of the world. Every one of them have their own ways of delivering it, and alot of people like how Carlos is because it’s raw, and probably the first of this generation how he does it. You retards who are gasping and pointing fingers and going on stupid crap like “that isn’t his name” or “he took that from this comedien who took it from the other one!!!” need to just grow up, and move on. And that guy who was more open on this subject, Joe something, he and the other comedians envy Carlos (Ned from the dee dee dee’s), and they need to quit hating on him.

*GASP* I said dee dee dee, and it belongs to Carlos!!!! Oh my goodness. please……..
