Richard Pryor, Louis CK, Dave Chapelle are comedy gods with original and thought provoking material. Carlos did 79 versions of the same Mexican joke and stole the rest.

I'm a big fan of Rogan but Carlos has a case to sue him. Because Joe ruined Carlos with his white privilege. And no one ever takes Carlos challenge to go to the tapes to see where he stole anyone's jokes. And Carlos is a great comedian where Joe is mediocre as a comedian. Joe great as a host-commentator.

One of the funniest steals Carlos got caught out on was when he called into a radio show to discuss the whole Joe Rogan situation and the hosts were pretty decent to Carlos about it all. Carlos ended the call with "what he and his friends recently got up to" which he called the "Stereotypical Olympics". When Mencia left the call the host said they cant have him on the show anymore because a year prior the hosts were at an event that came up with the "Stereotypical Olympics". It became no longer a case of "maybe Joe Rogan is just bitter for some reason" to "Oh hell, it's definitely true, from his very mouth!"
Opie and Anthony played the clip when they had Rogan on. They played the clip you are talking about on the show, the radio show the clip is from Phoenix if I remember correctly. If I can find the clip I will post the link.
I remember in my teens, I was really into stand-up comedy, and comedy central presents was a constant watch for me. In Carlos' special he tells a specific joke that's actually pretty funny. A couple years later he's blown up and has Mind of Mencia. I'm watching an older stand up special with an older gentleman- pre-Mencia- and he told the same joke almost verbatim that Mencia had killed with. Not long after the joke stealing came to light and it all made sense.
Did you hear the Marc Maron WTF podcast episode about Carlos? Part 2 in specific, it was unbelievably satisfying. Willie Barcena, Al Madrigal I think, another guy I can't remember, they all told Carlos stories, Marc added some too. Another good WTF one was Steve Byrne episode, telling us what Dane Cook did to him. Satisfying as hell👌
Joe Rogan is such a tool. Who the fuck does he think he is heckling another comedian? Him confronted carlos on the set is fucked up and he wont even tell shaub he not funny and doesn't deserve a special. Joes stand up sucks, never laughed once. I was never a big carlo mencia fan but he didn't deserve all that and I would take 100 carlos mencias over 1 shaub.
Nice that eventually Bobby had him on tigerbelly to give him the opportunity to address the joke stealing. Sad Ned denied it the whole time on Tigerbelly
The other guy had him too I think it's Valuetainment or something and he literally denies everything it's sad to watch a guy lie and everyone knows he lying
Glad you brought that up. If Chris Rock can make getting slapped funny the next week but Ned can’t come up with a good one for his situation after a decade and a half, that kind of says it all.
I seen him live prior to his Comedy Central show. He was supposed to do a 1hr set but the man was on fire making everybody laugh, he went on for two hours. Honestly it was one of the best sets I had ever seen. He kept claiming he was Mexican that night and a few months later I found out he was actually Central American. I didn’t understand why he would lie for 2 hours about something so basic. I lost interest in him because of that lie.
@@TheKyrix82 no not acceptable, everyone knows Central America exists. Mexican to take advantage of “I am, so it’s not racist” when being Honduran in reality so making all the more racist.
@@thedalailama245 I really don't care what you find acceptable. Especially since it's true, most Americans really don't know what Honduras is, and consider 'Central America' to be synonymous with 'Mexico'.

What map are you reading? I still haven't found central America on the map. There is only north and south America. Central America was made up by racist white people who wish to exclude Mexico because it's not white enough.
He was so cocky with stealing he not only thought he could steal from up and comers...he was bold enough to steal from Cosby who was considered one of, if not the best for multiple decades....directly from one of his most popular specials that just about every comedy fan has seen. Not to mention Cosby is a story teller so it's not like he could steal a short joke and twist it...he had to steal a multi minute bit. Crazy Ned.
I remember he was crazy popular back in my day. Me and my friends were very upset at him for plagiarism. At first we didnt believe it, but then random people showed evidence of all of the jokes he stole on youtube. We couldn't deny it anymore.
Ned was never going to be anything but a hack. He was someone you laughed AT because he thought he was killing with a stolen act. If he was legit we would be well past even knowing he still exists. Luckily for him, his cheap, dirty ethics ensure Ned's moniker is remembered by every real comedy enthusiast as a warning for would be scumbags who want adulation for all of their hard stealing
Definitely sub’d!! 💯💙 This was really well done!! Like white women’s steak. lmao But yea man very on point with no fat just straight facts. This was how long most documentaries could EASILY be without all the buildup lol I will share your channel with friends and family too bro! Promise. ANYTHING to save comedy 🎭 🫡🤣 Great job. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Look all the current comics now like Brenden Shaub. Joe is some kind of comedy police and he doesn't even tell Brenden Shaub he isn't funny or go after his friends who steal material. Carlo's was a better comedian and Joe jealous cuz his stand up suck. Ari Shafir sucks, shaub sucks, hinchcliffe sucks, joey diaz sucks. Woke ass comedians
Crazy I stumbled across this. I had a friend go see him in Indianapolis a few weeks ago. He said there were maybe 40-50 people there and the show sucked.
I remember me and my friends loved Mencia, especially his show. For us it was cool seeing a show like Chappelle show, but done by and for hispanics. When we first started seeing stuff about how he wasnt mexican, he stole jokes, and he fucked with other comedians careers. None of us could believe it, or wanted to believe it. Especially coming from the fear factor guy Joe Rogan. We were like who tf is this guy. Slowly though we started seeing more and more evidence posted online, proving that he was doing that shit. It felt really sad and disappointing. Like damn man. That was our weekly thing we did. Get some drinks and watch mind of mencia.
Same here bro! I was a big fan and I even went to a few shows then I found out about all the lies and bullshit. I’m glad Joe put this Dick on blast. I can’t believe he would do this to these comedians right before they were about to go on stage. These guys were putting in the hard work to make new and Funny jokes and then this idiot comes up and just uses your jokes right before you perform and leaving you with lil or no material. Wow! What a Dick!
Me and my brother don't have the best relationship, but I remember going with him to see Carlos in Boston. He opened the show " Finally the Beaner is in Beantown" loved it. One of the funnest memories with my bro. Such a let down when I started hearing about carlos SMDH
The fact that he always threw the word "beaner" around like it was nothing never sat right with me. A real Mexican American comedian with integrity would never do that crap and put it in the mouths of all of America like it wasn't a demeaning and offensive word to our parents who raised us. It all made sense when all was revealed and that his name was "Ned" whom was half German.
It's so interesting to me that I used to like Carlos. Way back when he was famous, I used to see him on busses and billboards. I enjoyed his comedy. But later I found out that many of his bits were ripped off verbatim from other famous comedians and that's when I drew the line. I never again like the manic enough to watch him perform again
"Imagine if he was actually telling the truth..." that was the most funniest part of this doc. If there were no videos showing the comparisons between his bit and others in question, I would have never known.
Not sure why but I started this video with the intention of having it play in the background but then found myself sitting at the table watching it all from start to finish. That says something so I just subscribed, keep the great content coming please!
My first time watching this channel. First off you are on camera so thank you! I love real channels! Second this is a great breakdown of copycat carlos.
Look Carlos Mencia is just another comedian,Joe Rogan knows there has been several other many,many other comedians that have stolen jokes like him self ,but he has used Carlos and tries to use him for fame by trying to put him down on you tube,he wont do that to another white comedian or a chicano comedian why because there's people there to back them up.Carlos Mencia is a true pioneer,the first of his kind,Cental American.We love me and we will support him to the end.
Dude this is an excellent video!! I've seen some of these pieces thru the years but this is pretty exhaustive, in terms of content. Alot of it is new to me as well. You put a lot of info in this!! Great job!!
Bro I thought so too! Like really well organized, and just zero fat on this cool lil mini-doc Shit was dope 💯🫡 Thank you for being another person besides me to give it up to this dude this is like really great work! 💯🤯
This is funny. I’ve just been thinking about Carlos this past few months and I’ve been scouring UA-cam for updates videos. And you just happened to make this 12 days ago. I guess somethings been happening in the zeitgeist. Good job ese. Short and too the point. I guess there’s not much new to the mencia story, except for two interviews.
Comedy Central basically got him to fill the void that had been created when Chappelle left. The shows had the same premise, but Ned was no where near creative enough to make it work. Having said that, the only thing that still bothers me about the situation is how he can't fully own up to what he did. For that he deserves all the hate he still gets to this day. Own up to your mistakes, big guy.
I mean if you steal jokes from better comedians, how aren't you gonna be funny for some people? It's harder to be original and shit than it is to steal
THANK YOU for acknowledging that he was/is actually a really good comic. The vast majority of his material was not stolen, and he killed. He has admitted to stealing jokes. That is true. But for people to come out and say he sucked is just crazy.
I remember mind of mencia and I and others thought it mostly sucked with a couple good parts. SImilarly, some Comedy Central special with Dane Cook (who I like enough) doing some bus with comedians or some shit was equally stupid and shitty. Comics can have their moments and not. We judge them on having mostly good stuff. Maybe he was better before MoM but he was like a female comic but replace vagina with "I'm mexican!" which he is not
The worst part about stealing the Cosby joke is how bad he fucks up the rhythm and timing. It reminds you of a spastic kid trying to retell a funny story he/she heard and just blasts through the punch line. And that scream at the end, Jesus…
If I pretended to be a French guy and joked about how I never wash, drink too much wine and cheat on my wife, there wold be outrage. If I wore blackface with a bucket of chicken asking people "Ain't you got no class" with my plastic covered furniture and 3 year old with bad credit, there would be a riot
I remember when this all went down. I was like 16 at the time watching the ComedyStore incident on UA-cam. It was wild how Dane Cook and a couple others got stray bullets from the fallout.
I absolutely fckn miss Carlos Mencia. His show was way ahead of it's time. I would dare say he was the equivalent to the Dave Chappelle show. But give me a fckn break with the stealing jokes. Every comedian in some way shape or form has taken a joke they heard from someone else and incorporate it into their act.
It's not like he got cancelled because another comedian had a beef with him. Because that other comedian is all about free speech and rights for Americans and that guy can't stand "cancel culture". We know this because he talks about it all the time. Im going to go watch the Mencia show now. Oh yeah... nevermind....
Comedy must always be everything on the table! There is no such thing as hate speech. If you believe hate speech exists then you should want MORE SPEECH.
First time watching your channel and brother I will continue especially if it's like this . Love short doc especially when relevant this might be from along time ago but the jre is a huge thing for alot of people this kinda makes you think about the ones he gave the green light to and the ones they worked to push out of the comic world.
Yeah at least Robin Williams owned up to it 👍 Its awkward to have someone copy your joke and make it even funnier so no one ever seemed mad. He never seemed to get upset with copycats of his work either.
What’s weird, is when I called someone out- along with so many others, I was the one who lost their agent, manager, gigs & friends. She had the biggest publicist.
@@comedyenforcement thank you. Joe is a friend. He got me thru it. He also knew what it was like when the full weight of the industry gets mad at you for calling out someone they “like”/make money on. It was never personal.
I never thought Carlos Men "Stealya" was funny at all. Especially after I watched him do that Football bit. I had watched Bill Cosby do it back in 1983. It was at that point that I knew Carlos was garbage truck juice!
@@stephentot5011 right? I remember when she stole Ellen's joke and than said it to her on her own show. Her thievery is so blatant yet everyone refuses to acknowledge it.
There was that time when Norm Macdonald stole the jokes of everyone he was performing with, did the jokes in the opening act before they all came up to perform, rode home with them all on the bus and laughed about it. What a legend. 🤣
I remember being a teenager and I had no idea all the drama was going on around this but when my older brother would be watching Mencia I just thought it was cringey.
He was seen as stealing from the start of his rise. He was replacing Dave Chappell. The shows werent as funny but then he was getting hit for stealing jokes (which all of them do). He was treated like a fad and went out as fast as one.
Rogan needed someone to stepon on his way up. Mencia was the one. Mencia could of handled it there and then. All comedians steal jokes. You won't see Rogan confronting Steve Harvey about stealing jokes from Katt Williams.
I remember where I work they booked him for a show. When we don't sell alot of tickets we end up giving tickets away for free and don't think many went cause he never came back.
Having watched both Chappelle and Mencias shows, you could see that they both stole from Richard Pryor's TV and stand up. Still enjoyed the shows but remember Chappelle had Mooney who was Richards top writer and when Dave quit Carlos just took from all three , so it seems to me it was about Comedy Central money and who is going to fill the void left by Chappelle .
I watched that Cosby standup when I was a kid with my folks and seen it many times since and I recall when I saw mencia and that joke I said out loud with a large group of friends watching as well that he ripped that joke from Cosby.
Carlos Mencia has had multiple podcast appearances to perhaps come clean about joke theft, and he will not do it despite the hosts knowing that if he admitted to even unconscious theft , it would help his career move past this mess. Yes, he is an amazing performer, but he has this asterisk by his name until he addresses the elephant in the room. Kevin Hart has a writing team. Carlos could do the same. Just admit that you may have incorporated other comedian’s material in your sets in the past and move on.
Dennis Leary just straight up Stole Bill Hicks’ whole persona after he died. I honestly don’t think comedians care much if you take a joke, structure it differently, change the punchline to make it your own if it’s a one off here or there. It would be like a songwriter covering a song. But, to make a career out of it is something completely different and to equate being a serial joke thief with a pop song cover band is disingenuous in the extreme.
Hicks was still alive when Leary jacked his act and said, ""I have a scoop for you. I stole his act. I camouflaged it with punchlines, and to really throw people off, I did it before he did.”
Man, I cant think of many comedians who have made me keel over in laughter like Carlos did back then. Carlos downfall has been his ego. Everyone would have moved on if Carlos had the slightest humility.
The only part I'll disagree with is point #1 about the racial context that most of his material featured being a problem that contributed to his downfall. Comedy has become increasingly PC in our extremely sensitive culture today, but in the mid to late-2000's, Mencia's material was quite frankly pretty run-of-the-mill as far as how edgy it was. He could have easily pivoted as the culture in comedy shifted, and he would have been given the benefit of the doubt, particularly since he is a racial minority. The only reason he may not get that benefit now is because of the points brought up in #2 and #3.
I’m Filipino & His Comment of Filipinos as the “Mexicans of the World,” was a Joke he could not Believe he just Said? Every Filipino Fan I know Dropped him in a heartbeat! It would be topic of conversation.

Well you’d feel bad for a guy that gave you a start. Comics struggle to ever get any recognition and he struggles with loyalty to a guy and honor
Bro that’s what I kept thinking through the whole video. He seemed to play in every circle
He is such a slut. Dirty little slut Bobby sure gets passed around.
@@AyeAyeRon11 Bobby Lee is a cuck I wouldn’t trust him
Bobby Lee is completely spineless
Ned was never going to be anything but a hack. He was someone you laughed AT because he thought he was killing with a stolen act. If he was legit we would be well past even knowing he still exists. Luckily for him, his cheap, dirty ethics ensure Ned's moniker is remembered by every real comedy enthusiast as a warning for would be scumbags who want adulation for all of their hard stealing

Joe Rogan started #CancelCulture
Definitely sub’d!! 💯💙 This was really well done!!
Like white women’s steak. lmao
But yea man very on point with no fat just straight facts.
This was how long most documentaries could EASILY be without all the buildup lol
I will share your channel with friends and family too bro! Promise.
ANYTHING to save comedy 🎭 🫡🤣
Great job. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can't wait 4 the downfall of Joe Rogan
Look all the current comics now like Brenden Shaub. Joe is some kind of comedy police and he doesn't even tell Brenden Shaub he isn't funny or go after his friends who steal material. Carlo's was a better comedian and Joe jealous cuz his stand up suck. Ari Shafir sucks, shaub sucks, hinchcliffe sucks, joey diaz sucks. Woke ass comedians
@@joshuasmith6346 yeah he defended Amy Schumer stealing jokes.
Crazy I stumbled across this. I had a friend go see him in Indianapolis a few weeks ago. He said there were maybe 40-50 people there and the show sucked.
Yeah Ned is all but dead in the comedy scene
where did he play in Indy?
@@devinhyde1139 I didn’t ask because I don’t know Indy well enough to know any better. He said it was a small venue…..if that means anything.
I absolutely refuse to believe anyone ever stole a joke from Joe Rogan.
Carlos has such a recognizable voice. If he would have just let that be his thing. Gold. But, oh well
Nah. He just wasn't funny. That's why he's not relevant anymore. The internet has shown us the thieves
This was great content for such a small channel . I enjoyed it good job
Thank you!
Joe Rogan deserves a medal for taking him down.
Joe Rogan is a douche, every time I try to see him interview someone,He’s constantly interrupts them, you can tell he is full of himself.
The fool that advised his audience to take horse dewormer to fight covid ? How TF do you conclude such foolishness?
For canceling someone? Isn’t that against everything that he stands for?
@@MajikBeard for exposing a thief who steals material.
@@SisyphusQuit Still canceling…
I remember me and my friends loved Mencia, especially his show. For us it was cool seeing a show like Chappelle show, but done by and for hispanics. When we first started seeing stuff about how he wasnt mexican, he stole jokes, and he fucked with other comedians careers. None of us could believe it, or wanted to believe it. Especially coming from the fear factor guy Joe Rogan. We were like who tf is this guy. Slowly though we started seeing more and more evidence posted online, proving that he was doing that shit. It felt really sad and disappointing. Like damn man. That was our weekly thing we did. Get some drinks and watch mind of mencia.
Same here bro! I was a big fan and I even went to a few shows then I found out about all the lies and bullshit. I’m glad Joe put this Dick on blast. I can’t believe he would do this to these comedians right before they were about to go on stage. These guys were putting in the hard work to make new and Funny jokes and then this idiot comes up and just uses your jokes right before you perform and leaving you with lil or no material. Wow! What a Dick!
Had us feeling like Der Der Derrrr
@@slimekinjoe7437 definitely tried to derr my brain
Me and my brother don't have the best relationship, but I remember going with him to see Carlos in Boston. He opened the show " Finally the Beaner is in Beantown" loved it. One of the funnest memories with my bro. Such a let down when I started hearing about carlos SMDH
The fact that he always threw the word "beaner" around like it was nothing never sat right with me. A real Mexican American comedian with integrity would never do that crap and put it in the mouths of all of America like it wasn't a demeaning and offensive word to our parents who raised us. It all made sense when all was revealed and that his name was "Ned" whom was half German.
"it paved the road so that future comedians would be protected from plagiarism"
Amy Schumer: "hold my diva cup"
Bro I loved mencia before finding out he stole jokes. Like you said he’s a great performer. He has a talent with showtime
Same here, he was my favorite comedian before the joke stealing thing blew up
The Cosby bit is the crazy one. That is a famous bit and I remember seeing him do this in 2006 and was like "hey...that's a Cosby joke."
Lots of comics steal unfortunaly
Dammm that cosby joke was almost word for word lol
And the very typical line is "Hi mom!" but Mencia had to change it a bit to a line that borderline didn't make sense.
What I learned is Bobby will not have back. He will fold on his friends when times are tough
It's so interesting to me that I used to like Carlos. Way back when he was famous, I used to see him on busses and billboards. I enjoyed his comedy. But later I found out that many of his bits were ripped off verbatim from other famous comedians and that's when I drew the line. I never again like the manic enough to watch him perform again
FIrst time viewer. Well made micro doc! Your eyebrows are epic and could have their own UA-cam Channel. Cheers!
Hey, thanks! And that's funny lol
So glad to see the channel growing. 👍🏽
Thank you!!! I appreciate everyone that took their time. I need to do way better content because I do value everyones time and engagement.
I remember how Mind of Mencia was outright stealing one or two Chappelle Show skit. Can't remember which one but it was very noticeable
"Imagine if he was actually telling the truth..." that was the most funniest part of this doc. If there were no videos showing the comparisons between his bit and others in question, I would have never known.
Not sure why but I started this video with the intention of having it play in the background but then found myself sitting at the table watching it all from start to finish. That says something so I just subscribed, keep the great content coming please!
My first time watching this channel.
First off you are on camera so thank you! I love real channels!
Second this is a great breakdown of copycat carlos.
This is the first time I’ve ever seen the clips of him vs who he stole from compared to each other. Nice work👌🏼.
That Bobby Lee vid is like a hostage video 🤣🤣🤣
This was quality content man ! Great work
Thank you ! Appreciate it!
Look Carlos Mencia is just another comedian,Joe Rogan knows there has been several other many,many other comedians that have stolen jokes like him self ,but he has used Carlos and tries to use him for fame by trying to put him down on you tube,he wont do that to another white comedian or a chicano comedian why because there's people there to back them up.Carlos Mencia is a true pioneer,the first of his kind,Cental American.We love me and we will support him to the end.
This video was very well put.
Dude this is an excellent video!! I've seen some of these pieces thru the years but this is pretty exhaustive, in terms of content. Alot of it is new to me as well. You put a lot of info in this!! Great job!!
Bro I thought so too!
Like really well organized, and just zero fat on this cool lil mini-doc
Shit was dope 💯🫡
Thank you for being another person besides me to give it up to this dude this is like really great work! 💯🤯
Thanks a lot!! Its really appreciated. Thank you both
Thank you! I appreciate that feedback :D sending all the love and good vibes your way
This is funny. I’ve just been thinking about Carlos this past few months and I’ve been scouring UA-cam for updates videos. And you just happened to make this 12 days ago. I guess somethings been happening in the zeitgeist.
Good job ese. Short and too the point. I guess there’s not much new to the mencia story, except for two interviews.
Comedy Central basically got him to fill the void that had been created when Chappelle left. The shows had the same premise, but Ned was no where near creative enough to make it work. Having said that, the only thing that still bothers me about the situation is how he can't fully own up to what he did. For that he deserves all the hate he still gets to this day. Own up to your mistakes, big guy.
@Bryan Smith Greedy people above don't have time to waste. TIME IS MONEY. They will use anyone to make money. You have to chill.
@@horsewithnoteeth3348 While I agree with you... he's not wrong
This is a great breakdown! Thank you👍👍
Kudos and congratulations on almost 100k.🎉🎉🎉
This was amazing. Thanks heaps, love the video. You've got another new sub here
I love your content man, it's not biased and well put together. I been subscribed since you had a few thousand, keep grinding you will hit 100k soon!
Great content dude, succinct and researched. Thanks for the video! Subbed
Thank you! Much appreciated
Almost forgot about this guy. Had no idea about this side of him. Great video!
Thanks!
Same
Still a better comedian than Brendan shaub
That's not a very high bar.
@@josephnicolino8529 I’m just sayin
I mean if you steal jokes from better comedians, how aren't you gonna be funny for some people?
It's harder to be original and shit than it is to steal
Great episode, I've heard about this but never got the back story so thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
People here really defending Carlos mencia?? Stealings someone craft and making money of it is never ok.
THANK YOU for acknowledging that he was/is actually a really good comic. The vast majority of his material was not stolen, and he killed. He has admitted to stealing jokes. That is true. But for people to come out and say he sucked is just crazy.
I remember mind of mencia and I and others thought it mostly sucked with a couple good parts. SImilarly, some Comedy Central special with Dane Cook (who I like enough) doing some bus with comedians or some shit was equally stupid and shitty. Comics can have their moments and not. We judge them on having mostly good stuff. Maybe he was better before MoM but he was like a female comic but replace vagina with "I'm mexican!" which he is not
Well done, Sir. I enjoy your work. Very professional and impressive!
The worst part about stealing the Cosby joke is how bad he fucks up the rhythm and timing. It reminds you of a spastic kid trying to retell a funny story he/she heard and just blasts through the punch line. And that scream at the end, Jesus…
If I pretended to be a French guy and joked about how I never wash, drink too much wine and cheat on my wife, there wold be outrage. If I wore blackface with a bucket of chicken asking people "Ain't you got no class" with my plastic covered furniture and 3 year old with bad credit, there would be a riot
I remember when this all went down. I was like 16 at the time watching the ComedyStore incident on UA-cam. It was wild how Dane Cook and a couple others got stray bullets from the fallout.
Everybody disliked Dane Cook for a different reason. Js
Dane Cook was NEVER funny
@@r.c.l2569 Why?
@@DGCMO cause he was a hack and a sell out
I absolutely fckn miss Carlos Mencia. His show was way ahead of it's time. I would dare say he was the equivalent to the Dave Chappelle show. But give me a fckn break with the stealing jokes. Every comedian in some way shape or form has taken a joke they heard from someone else and incorporate it into their act.
It's not like he got cancelled because another comedian had a beef with him. Because that other comedian is all about free speech and rights for Americans and that guy can't stand "cancel culture". We know this because he talks about it all the time. Im going to go watch the Mencia show now. Oh yeah... nevermind....
Comedy must always be everything on the table! There is no such thing as hate speech. If you believe hate speech exists then you should want MORE SPEECH.
First time watching your channel and brother I will continue especially if it's like this . Love short doc especially when relevant this might be from along time ago but the jre is a huge thing for alot of people this kinda makes you think about the ones he gave the green light to and the ones they worked to push out of the comic world.
I think Robin Williams was also known for stealing jokes but he was rich enough to send somebody a check for it
He admitted he did steal jokes which is honest,compared to others like Ned who claimed he didn't.
Milton Berle famously stole jokes, but he leaned into it while other comedians would joke in their routines that he did,
Yeah at least Robin Williams owned up to it 👍 Its awkward to have someone copy your joke and make it even funnier so no one ever seemed mad. He never seemed to get upset with copycats of his work either.
@@jamiehill3621 refinement of comedy, respect in the skill game
Great video! Just subscribed, can’t wait to see this channel grow! 😊
Thank you so much!!
What’s weird, is when I called someone out- along with so many others, I was the one who lost their agent, manager, gigs & friends. She had the biggest publicist.
I like your work! And I know who you are talking about. I also think Joe Rogan went to easy on her knowing that there is so much evidence against her.
@@comedyenforcement thank you. Joe is a friend. He got me thru it. He also knew what it was like when the full weight of the industry gets mad at you for calling out someone they “like”/make money on. It was never personal.
@@comedyenforcement and btw- like your work too
Agreed I’ve always loved watching your content! Keep going girl!
I never thought Carlos Men "Stealya" was funny at all. Especially after I watched him do that Football bit. I had watched Bill Cosby do it back in 1983. It was at that point that I knew Carlos was garbage truck juice!
Garbage truck juice... lmfao, I work on garbage trucks and I can tell you there’s nothing worse!
Then he acted like he never saw the Cosby bit.Everyone in the world saw the Cosby bit.
@@pastorofmuppets22 For real!
Mencia dud it way better than Cosby stop the hate Cosby stole that joke from mexican anyway who cares
Did
Rogan did to Mencia what he refuses to do with Amy Schumer and he lost all of my respect because of it
I agree, why didn't Rogan go after Amy Schumer like he did to Menstealer?
@@stephentot5011 right? I remember when she stole Ellen's joke and than said it to her on her own show. Her thievery is so blatant yet everyone refuses to acknowledge it.
@@jackpenber8959 What I don't understand is why she isn't being called out for this?
@@stephentot5011 exactly, she must have some really deep connections to be able to get all these other comedians to completely ignore her plagiarism
@@jackpenber8959 Here's a hint, it has to do with her last name. ;)
There was that time when Norm Macdonald stole the jokes of everyone he was performing with, did the jokes in the opening act before they all came up to perform, rode home with them all on the bus and laughed about it. What a legend. 🤣
I'd even say,if you want to see Norm McDonald's act done properly and by the original, check out Steven Wright.
See, that's funny. You know he had good comedy, and he could write amazing comedy, but he fucked with his buddies and made it funny.
I remember being a teenager and I had no idea all the drama was going on around this but when my older brother would be watching Mencia I just thought it was cringey.
Great video 😎👏👏👏
Lets be real, Carlos Mencia was never going to step out of the shadow of George Lopez.
He was seen as stealing from the start of his rise. He was replacing Dave Chappell. The shows werent as funny but then he was getting hit for stealing jokes (which all of them do). He was treated like a fad and went out as fast as one.
In his defense it's almost comedy just hearing him, while thinking hes slaying, completely butcher Cosby's joke!
Good work Joe.
Rogan needed someone to stepon on his way up. Mencia was the one. Mencia could of handled it there and then. All comedians steal jokes. You won't see Rogan confronting Steve Harvey about stealing jokes from Katt Williams.
I remember where I work they booked him for a show. When we don't sell alot of tickets we end up giving tickets away for free and don't think many went cause he never came back.
Having watched both Chappelle and Mencias shows, you could see that they both stole from Richard Pryor's TV and stand up. Still enjoyed the shows but remember Chappelle had Mooney who was Richards top writer and when Dave quit Carlos just took from all three , so it seems to me it was about Comedy Central money and who is going to fill the void left by Chappelle .
What jokes did Dave steal? One thing to be inspired versus blatant stealing lol
Props to the guy who handed Rogan a mic
Leaned into the acusations!? Genius suggestion, that would be hilarious. Lots of material there for sure.
Carlos was so popular in the early mid 2000s it’s crazy
Poor Bobby Lee stuck between a rock and a hard place with Joe and Ned
Great video! I am surprised you don’t have more subscribers, this was very well made and smooth to watch. Well done :)
Thank you! I appreciate that :D
I watched that Cosby standup when I was a kid with my folks and seen it many times since and I recall when I saw mencia and that joke I said out loud with a large group of friends watching as well that he ripped that joke from Cosby.
And Cosby stole it from a Mexican do your facts finding
Carlos Mencia has had multiple podcast appearances to perhaps come clean about joke theft, and he will not do it despite the hosts knowing that if he admitted to even unconscious theft , it would help his career move past this mess. Yes, he is an amazing performer, but he has this asterisk by his name until he addresses the elephant in the room. Kevin Hart has a writing team. Carlos could do the same. Just admit that you may have incorporated other comedian’s material in your sets in the past and move on.
4:03 when you said "and everybody's favorite: amy schumer" i feel insulted 😂😂😂
Dennis Leary just straight up Stole Bill Hicks’ whole persona after he died. I honestly don’t think comedians care much if you take a joke, structure it differently, change the punchline to make it your own if it’s a one off here or there. It would be like a songwriter covering a song. But, to make a career out of it is something completely different and to equate being a serial joke thief with a pop song cover band is disingenuous in the extreme.
Hicks was still alive when Leary jacked his act and said, ""I have a scoop for you. I stole his act. I camouflaged it with punchlines, and to really throw people off, I did it before he did.”
Ned DEFINITELY stole/steals jokes. Theres no question about it. Ask anyone in the business and they will tell you its true.
Wow Bobby is so different when hes not acting. I actually find cigarette / backstage Bobby more “real” in a way.
The intro 😂😂😂 i chocked on my cheddar popcorn laughing
I love the Bobby Lee with Rogan when he didn't know what was happening. Real Ass Dude.
Man, I cant think of many comedians who have made me keel over in laughter like Carlos did back then. Carlos downfall has been his ego. Everyone would have moved on if Carlos had the slightest humility.
Agreed
The only part I'll disagree with is point #1 about the racial context that most of his material featured being a problem that contributed to his downfall. Comedy has become increasingly PC in our extremely sensitive culture today, but in the mid to late-2000's, Mencia's material was quite frankly pretty run-of-the-mill as far as how edgy it was. He could have easily pivoted as the culture in comedy shifted, and he would have been given the benefit of the doubt, particularly since he is a racial minority. The only reason he may not get that benefit now is because of the points brought up in #2 and #3.
Uh, yeah this was years ago before the woke/cancel culture thing happened. 🙄
Bro your eye brows look like part of your glasses they so thick.
See Carlos it’s not that hard
That joke was so bad he won't steal it. And you look like a 50 year old version of Cid from Toy Story
I can't unsee it 🤣
I’m Filipino & His Comment of Filipinos as the “Mexicans of the World,” was a Joke he could not Believe he just Said?
Every Filipino Fan I know Dropped him in a heartbeat! It would be topic of conversation.
Carlos rise was so fast and his fall was even faster.
I think if he admits it that would open the door for litigation against him. That could be the reason he still denies it.
But he straight up admitted he stole jokes...
