    Carlos Mencia blatant copy of a Bill Cosby joke

    If there was ever someone in this world I absolutely hate. It is Carlos Mencia.

    He clearly is doing it as a tribute towards Bill Cosby, it's so obvious.

    That is NO excuse with "everythings been said n done already". If you can't maintain innovation in your field and you just copy, you're a leech. Originality can always be found; quit being a lazy cocksucker and find it, not steal it.

  8. Damien_DaSalvaged from archive22 Mar 2007, 00:00
    Actually, he's known for stealing his material. If he gives the person credit.. then I'd believe he was tributing it to them.

Big Zero Yeah That Is What I Thought, Dont Get Me Wrong, You Might Get Your Little 3 Years Old Daughter Laugh Though!!!!

Like I said yesterday, stand-up comedy is 50% material, 50% delivery and obviously Carlos is pretty damn good at the delivery part! But let's be realistic here for a minute, what is original anymore? Just about everything out there has already been said and done. It's so rare to find original material anymore, so now we take enjoyment from the performances more than anything it seems like.

There's plenty of original material out there I don't know what world your living in. Look at the comedian who plays Borat, Chappelle, Jim Gaffigan, Mitch Hedberg (RIP) to name some of the better. IMO we shouldn't be be feeding these unoriginal thieves as they have no creativity and must succumb to stealing to even have a chance at making it; pathetic.

He was brilliant... and original.

That's ridiculous. If you can only do delivery but cannot write your own material, you aren't a good comedian. Some comedians like the late night talk show hosts have a staff of writers to help them make new material every night, but that's fine because everyone knows about that and they don't make any effort to hide that fact. But stealing from other comedians and not giving them credit is bullshit. The "it's all been said and done already" excuse is bullshit too. The world changes on a daily basis, so there is an infinite amount of material out there if you're creative and hard working enough to look for it.

Thats total crap! If the joke was purchased from the original comedian, thats another story. Carlos should have to pay royalties. If his perfomance is soooo damn good why dosent he just become an actor?? Well, he is acting as though hes a comedian.

Agree 100%. I could care less where he got his material from as long as he made me laugh. That is why I goto comedy shows. To have a goodtime!

So if u took the time to make up your own jokes and then somebody stole them to make a profit off them and not give you any credit would you still not have a problem?

You fail to see my point. I am going to his show as an audience member. Not the trademark/copyright police. If the comedian makes me laugh, I got my moneys worth. Enforcing copyrights is not my problem!

Big Zero Yeah That Is What I Thought, Dont Get Me Wrong, You Might Get Your Little 3 Years Old Daughter Laugh Though!!!! a couple things I dont like about your post: - the english language doesn't consist of every word being capitalized. - I dont hate on Carlos Mencia because he makes more money than me, he's mexican, and i'll leave it at that. - I won't stoop down to his level and steal material from him because that would be wrong, that would be plagiarism, and quite frankly, it isn't that hard to sit down and write some clever comedic strides. - Cosby is great. Mencia sucks. as XX XXX now I have a constant haunting thought in my head...... first our jobs.... now our comedy? FUCK. whats next holidays? oh shit too late..... No need to turn your post into a personal attack just because you disagree with this persons writing style or viewpoint......BIG Ozzie

  26. producerflieSalvaged from archive22 Mar 2007, 00:00
    People that say "it's all been done" are either: 1. Carlos Mencia Fans 2. Dane Cook Fans 3. Carlos Mencia or Dane Cook themselves Carlos Isn't even trying to hide the fact that he's stealing anymore. His next video on filcabi will probably be him smashing a watermelon with some type of "beaner" sledgehammer... The most original I have been hearing lately are Jim Gaffigan and Pablo Francicsco..
  27. RaidenatorSalvaged from archive22 Mar 2007, 00:00
    I hated Carlos Mencia before seeing all of this stealing crap. I still hate him now, but at least I have more of a reason to hate him. He's not even funny when he steals other jokes. If he had to pay royalties to every person he stole a joke from, he'd just go bankrupt. I've developed an algebraic formula for Carlos Mencia. (Money earned from Carlos' shows) - (Royalties paid to other comedians) + [Carlos' own material, or 0) = Money earned. Money earned < 0

I love Gaffigan, I saw him tonight as a matter of fact in Nashville, but what's wrong with Dane Cook? Some people don't see the humor, but I've never heard an acusation of him stealing material. BTW, I detest Carlos Mencia.

    god i hate mencia,he isnt original at all,and that was almost word for word with cosby. i stopped watching his stupid show a long time ago,and i wish everyone else would too,and just make the bad man go away lol
  31. WendalSalvaged from archive22 Mar 2007, 00:00
    That was a horribly bland joke by both guys. But it's good to see Carlos exposed some more. Soon he'll be forced to wear a bag over his head.

    Oh, I get it. If you type a racial slur in quotes, you won't get a strike from the mods. Good to know. Mencia sucks ass and so does Dane Cook.

Where do you get your information, Dosage? I just re-read all of the posts and found "beaner" the only word that was in quotes and could possibly be construed as a racial slur. I believe that this poster was quoting what Carlos had said...he uses the term Beaner in his act regularly! But still...please define a Racial Slur. "Beaner" would not be a racial slur...it would be an Ethnic Slur! The same as "Jew", "Wop", "Kike", "Wetback", "Tonto"...etc, etc... Racial Slurs have to do with race...not Nationality, Ethnic Background or Religious Preference. Theses type of slurs are not tolerated here as well!
  35. Mad MarkSalvaged from archive23 Mar 2007, 00:00
    Mencia is lame.
  36. blaikeSalvaged from archive23 Mar 2007, 00:00
    Seriously. Mitch Hedberg, I have to say had poor delivery. But his jokes... oh his jokes were fucking funny as hell. They were original, they were creative. It's impossible to say everything has been said and done, and we must resort to copying. Then why do we still write books or paint paintings? Because not everything has been said and done. Just like in comedy, you can keep writing new jokes. Carlos Mencia steals his stuff from people, and I find it a good point that he's not even Mexican. Half fucking German, half Honduran? Thats like a dark Indian running around calling people niggers.
