I used to really like him until I found out he was stealing jokes from other comedians. :( That was a sad day for me. Look up Joe Rogen / Carlos Mencia fight. Joe Rogen actually went on stage and punked him out. Crazy stuff for sure.

Most of this came from a bunch of unsuccessful comedians who don't have a career. Joe Rogen was just standing up for these guys because they have no voice or credibility. Comedy is all about delivery. You and I can stand up there and say the same thing Carlos Mencia does and difference would be that no one will laugh - at us. He knows how to delivery his skit/show. Most successful professionals have haters, his just got put on YouTube.

yep he is or was stealing jokes

[tony]

cant tolerate him, stolen jokes or not he is not funny

he was stealing jokes from a LOT of successful comedians (Cosby, Lopez, Louis CK, etc)

I thought he was pretty funny till I watched "tall dark and chicano"

Making fun of other races is not my idea of a good time.

Oh I agree that there are a ton of haters; like all of the people he stole jokes from. haha. I think the problem is always having to come up with new material. I believe Dave Chapelle had that problem. Joe Rogen is no failure, but I agree that he never saw the fame that Mencia has. I was a huge Mencia fan. I just thought it was funny because Joe Rogen just lost it on him at his own show. I mean, talk about calling someone out.

As far as racial jokes go.... When the jokes are, like beauty, only skin deep, I believe that the comedian's jokes are just as shallow.

i would put rogan ahead of mencia success wise. mencia had a niche show on comedy central for 2 years and did standup. rogan was on a highly successful sitcom on a major network for 4 years, and hosted a very successfull reality show for 6, and did standup.

ftr: im not a rogan fan by any stretch, he annoys me

I guess I can not debate on comedy. When I think something is funny, I laugh. Everyone has their own preference and opinion what is funny.

When Eve and I met, our first date was a Carlos Mencia comedy show. We both enjoyed ourselves and decided to make it a fun night out again 10 years later. I think Eve was looking to see if anyone else was attending and maybe we could have a drink and a good time together.
