MrRain422 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I watched this just last night. Absolutely perfect. I hate Carlos Mencia, and it's pretty awesome to see him owned like that. Rogan actually is now no longer allowed to perform at the Comedy Store because of this. And his agent (who is also Mencia's agent) dropped him. I'd say it was worth it.

Sir Stewart Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah, I know nothing of this feud outside of this clip, but I'd say Rogan is pretty fucking righteous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncle wilco Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 i didn't know that rogan was a comedian and i don't care for any of the stuff he's done. but this...this is probably his best work ever. this is one of the best documented slams i've ever seen. i never liked mencia, but now i really don't like mencia. btw: i was wearing the same t-shirt as joe when i watched it the first time. that was kinda weird.

MrRain422 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 My favorite part is Bobby Lee not knowing who Carlos is, but knowing Ned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Mencia is such a douche. He is about only 3% funny. (And, obviously, 0% funny in this, except in his crappiness.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aricandover Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I saw this the other day and posted about it in the youtube thread. Joe Rogan, calling out Carlos Mencia, on all his bullshit and joke stealing. I can't stand Mencia, so to see something like this just makes my day. I watched it again, and it made my day, again. Mencia is such a piece of shit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'd never heard of Mencia before. He's known, huh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owl Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 By the way, I'm not sure why anyone would claim that Mencia stole his joke. I mean, all of Mencia's jokes are really, really bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I hate that transition music. That must have been the opposite of entertaining for people who attended that show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I also hate Carlos Mencia. He is just NOT funny. The fact that he steals people's material just figures. What a douche. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'd never heard of Mencia before. He's known, huh? He has a truly awful show on Comedy Central called Mind of Mencia. That must have been the opposite of entertaining for people who attended that show. I don't know, I would have thought it was pretty awesome if I was in the audience. Of course I wouldn't be in the audience at a Carlos Mencia show, so never mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Wait, if Carols Mencia sucks, but he steals other people's jokes, why aren't we mad at the people who came up with those shitty jokes? If they had better jokes, Mencia would be funny. EDIT: ok, so that wasn't all that funny either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Wait, if Carols Mencia sucks, but he steals other people's jokes, why aren't we mad at the people who came up with those shitty jokes? If they had better jokes, Mencia would be funny. EDIT: ok, so that wasn't all that funny either. Hey, after I read your post I saw Mencia at a comedy club and he totally stole your joke.

JohnW Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Yeah I dunno I agree with Matt Z I don't think Mencia is funny but those jokes he was stealing were just incoherent observations. They are both just a bunch of nonsense. I just frown upon Rogan because he was so agressive and I just don't know what his motive is? What does he have to prove, I mean I don't think if I took a seven day seminar on how to deliver a persuasive speech I could convince anyone that his version of the man show didn't totally suck! I think Joe Rogan is just trying to be Bill Hicks or something of that nature when he couldn't shine Bill Hicks shoes. I don't really know where Mencia is coming from because I have never been into that brand of comedy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Rogan wrote a lot about the incident on his website. If you take him at his word, his motive was that, well, he considers comedy to be an art, he puts a lot of work into writing and polishing his material, other comedians do too, and he just thinks its disrespectful to the form and to the work that others do to steal material. Says that Mencia has been known as a joke thief for a long time (to the point that comedians at the Comedy Store had started to signal to the comedian on stage when Mencia came into the room so that they wouldn't perform material that they were especially concerned about him stealing), and that no one else was willing to confront him.

I don't really know where Mencia is coming from because I have never been into that brand of comedy I think Joe Rogan will tell you himself that he's not the world's funniest comedian, but he's out there trying to prove himself every day, when off his residuals from Fear Factor and NewsRadio reruns, he has no reason to. Rogan busts his ass trying to be fresh and original (sometimes hit, sometimes miss) while Mencia takes what clearly works and claims it as his own. Also, Rogan and Doug Stanhope both admit that their version of the Man Show sucked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oatmealblizzard Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Mind of Mencia is the biggest turd of a show I've ever seen. And I, too, didn't realize Joe Rogan was a comedian. Huh. But this clip was pretty great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 What little I've seen of Joe Rogan's comedy led me to believe that he's sort of a poor man's Denis Leary, which is to say, a homeless man's Bill Hicks. That said, he didn't seem too bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tandylacker Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I've heard Jay Leno tell a couple of these jokes too... I bet I've heard the building the wall, who's going to build it joke at least from 4 different people... I don't know though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
squarewave Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Bill Hicks and Joe Rogan are both friends of Kevin Booth... another funny conspiracy nut. I agree that Rogan is basically a watered down Bill Hicks except that Joe has totally sold out with that Fear Factor shit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

squarewave Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I just noticed that I have a Hicks quote in my sig here... and I related it to something stupid that Britney said... It's more timely now than ever, and it's not going anywhere... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
