[General Discussion] Carlos Mencia vs Joe Rogan

That, and they're worried about him using his power in "Hollywood" to have them black balled for talking badly about him. But in private, they talk about it. A LOT.
It's a huge problem at the comedy store, to the point where some really good comics are refusing to go onstage if he's there watching the show, and others have a signal system to alert the guy onstage that Carlos has walked into the room.
It's really THAT BAD.

I fucking hate Carlos Mencia.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dane Cook doesn't have his own show on Comedy Central. He's had a few specials, sure, but the bullshit isn't nearly on the level that Carlos demands.

How ya doing, buddy?

Right, you'd have to be a fucking idiot to do the same joke as another Comedian. They can, however, do the same bit, which is what everyone is accusing Ned of doing. Did you notice when Bobby Lee was about to go into his story about Mencia stole a part of his routine? He didn't describe the joke in its entirety, he described the idea. That's because Mencia didn't steal it verbatim, he stole the bit.

The proof is in the pudding. If almost every comic in the business thinks Mencia is a thieving hack, something's wrong.

How ya doing, buddy?

There are no tricks involved here, people are idiots.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Ever watch News Radio?

I was speaking idiomatically.
