Mencia steals from Cosby

Men-stealia's version sucked

carlos mencia isn't even his real name lol,its Ned Holness.What a fake loser

Archman 2007-03-25T05:54:16Z says:

I think this actually works for him. Stealing from 1983? C'mon. Not saying he is inocent, I don't know, but he probably did not steal this.

SNIKT 2007-03-25T06:43:57Z says:
Are you fucking kidding me? Or are you just retarded? It's the same joke with minor changes. I'm sorry, settle down, don't keep screaming "Thdop ma-ing fuh ob mah dia-bi-ity!"
ixsx 2007-03-26T00:48:57Z says:
Yeah, 1983 was a long time ago... Probably Ned didnt even see that Bill Cosby "Himself". It is only one of the most classic comedy specials ever.
HypoLuxaHermesPan 2007-03-26T10:51:33Z says:
Hmmm... How many of you had heard the Beatles? Or Hendirx? Same with comedians... They probably all have heard Cosby, Pryor, Murphey, Bruce and Carlin's entire catalog of material. No defense on this one. He stole it!!! ...or maybe it was a tribute?
Bastardo 2007-03-27T02:18:26Z says:
A tribute means that he gives credit, at least when bands cover other peoples songs they dont change it to make it seem like they created it in the first place, he is just an uneducated fuck

hotshot 2007-03-25T06:48:04Z says:

carlos mencia rocks. i dont know whats up with bill cosby thinking he can steal mencia's shit.

bobroonie 2007-03-25T07:05:06Z says:

Carlos is actually known for stealing bits from many comedians

Babies Kill You 2007-03-25T07:29:55Z says:

It's two completely different ways of telling the same joke. Cosby is more of a mellow story teller, while Mencia is like a spastic child. But the truth is, everyone in entertainment reuses stuff (or stealing if that's what makes you hotche moche). For example, Led Zeppelin, some of their greatest songs like Bring It On Home and I Can't Quit You Baby were essentially stolen lyrics of Willie Dixon. But I have always thought that if it sounds good, why not use it again.

dik 2007-03-25T07:43:06Z says:
led zep stole lyrics from willie dixon????? back that up!
Babies Kill You 2007-03-25T08:05:50Z says:
That's a well known fact if your into older music.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_zeppelin

This gives a general overview of the controversy (look at the part about the first album), but it's Wikipedia so you'll have to read some books about it for concrete info.
CongressmanDildo 2007-03-25T13:17:32Z says:
Yea led zepp stole starway to heaven from spirit and the song is taurus.
J-sin 2007-03-25T16:18:53Z says:
agreed. ie. sqeeze my lemon; blatant theft. however they personalized it never denied it and in my opinion improved it. Ned just sucks.
cutter 2007-03-25T16:33:14Z says:
There was an interview with Robert Plant not to long ago,and he openly admits to using lyrics and music from old blues musicians...
tntryon 2007-03-25T17:44:57Z says:
and mencia is still a duche!!
dik 2007-03-26T13:04:50Z says:
i stand corrected

dik 2007-03-25T07:40:08Z says:

in rap music they steal more blatantly and just call it sampling

Babies Kill You 2007-03-25T08:06:23Z says:
Yeah, rap sucks.

SuperMilkChan 2007-03-25T08:17:20Z says:

I really don't like mencia, i think there's no substance to anything he says, he just says "beaner" because he knows it'll get a laugh. and i love billy cosby, love his sound effects and everything.... still, i think those two bits are different enough. i mean it's a pretty easy joke anyway. and one's about a father being proud, the other's about a father working hard to help his son. it's fair.

keefbox 2007-03-25T08:27:03Z says:
No, it's the same joke...

RonT 2007-03-25T08:51:40Z says:

I liked Mencia's better because he's not black.

El_Wanko 2007-03-25T12:12:03Z says:
Looks like a bean-nigger to me.

avatar_ignis 2007-03-25T09:24:31Z says:

and later officers found a stash of jello pudding in mencia's basement...

chairman_of_the_bored 2007-03-25T11:27:07Z says:

Sounds like the sort of joke that has been doing the rounds since forever with changes put in by people who say it. However I still wouldn't put it past that fat little turd from seeing someone tell a good joke on stage and using it as if it were his idea to begin with.

K-Billy 2007-03-26T03:09:06Z says:
here here. I second that.
Hertz 2007-03-26T15:00:56Z says:
why steal a bad joke anyways...

CruelHM 2007-03-25T12:38:51Z says:

He's made a lot of money out of not being very funny, being a cheaper George Lopez (hard to believe wouldcha wouldcha), being an even louder George Lopez (hard to believe etc), and even more annoying Lopez (hard to believe x 3).

I'm confused how some people make it. Has to be blind determination and being in the right place at the right time (and probably knowing the right people). Face it - he's an annoying beaner who's richer than most of us will ever be - dee dee deeeee.

Imagine how many of his friends and family he could cram into his LA mansion...but I'm sure he only has his wife and kids...and a white, American girl as his slave around the house.

supernova 2007-03-25T16:33:07Z says:
The reason for Mencia's fame is simple. He's a jewish, latino homo. Hollywood was forced to make him famous, it's an affirmative action protocol...

CruelHM 2007-03-25T12:40:25Z says:

Oh, and why didn't he stay at the making 7-up commercials level? That was more than enough for him. He's as funny as having root canal surgery with no anaesthetic.

chairman_of_the_bored 2007-03-25T15:17:11Z says:
I believe from a previous Muchosucko submission it was Sprite.
CruelHM 2007-03-25T16:07:41Z says:
Yes I think you're right. Feel better for pointing that out? My point remains unchanged...the exact soda changes nothing.
MrFugsmucker 2007-03-26T00:56:45Z says:
It just proves he was advertising the wrong drink.
chairman_of_the_bored 2007-03-26T01:30:14Z says:
Not really, just for the record in case anyone ever wanted to search for it.

loopy5689 2007-03-25T14:38:25Z says:

cosby's was better

borracho5000 2007-03-25T17:11:23Z says:

mencia is just not funny. he steals bits and the way he delivers his bits. the sad thing is is how he has such a strong fan fallowing of 13 year old who are hearing there first nigger/spic joke. its like dan cook who also sucks. No one who has been a fan of standup for a long time can stand either of those two becuase their jokes are contrived if not stolen pieces of shit. every one steals in stand up every one has stolen a joke from richard pryor, but they dont tell the same joke its the conept that they barrow. cook and mencia steal a joke word for word.

ozerith1 2007-03-25T18:30:28Z says:
who the fuck has cook stolen from? cook is awesome.

lol @ dane cook being awesome.... hes one of the many "comedians" who aren't funny one bit... hes a person who can tell ok stories.. but hes NOT fucking funny...
borracho5000 2007-03-26T02:19:21Z says:
thank god i thought i was going to have to dane cook bash by myself. he not as bad as mecia but he still sucks.
IGoPPStandingUp 2007-03-26T06:10:21Z says:
Yah dane cook is amazing hes one of the few comedians I can watch for like a hour and not even smirk at any of his jokes hes incredibly talented at being so incredibly unfunny...

themadzombie 2007-03-25T18:33:59Z says:

I watched Mencia on comedy central when he did that crap. Still isn't funny!

cwall 2007-03-25T19:03:58Z says:

why didnt Joe Rogan come out and punch Menstealia in the face!?

bigsmokedogg 2007-03-26T00:39:13Z says:
mencia called rogan up at the comedy store, rogan shut the fat wetback up then released a vid on youtube showin all his plagerism(sp). mencia had it removed for copywrite violations, the douch
yak 2007-03-26T01:42:58Z says:

Pompazoidee 2007-03-26T03:26:11Z says:
Yak-- thanks for the tip. I missed the "Rogan vs Mencia" clip when it was posted. Wow, that was GREAT!
Archman 2007-03-26T16:50:31Z says:
Rogan is a hippie. Fuck him.

Booddles 2007-03-25T20:27:00Z says:

i blame illegal immigration as the cause for mencia's fame... probably the main reason he got his own show and stuff.

bostano 2007-03-25T22:38:04Z says:

PS - he stole from Sam Kinison too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQWUwDbmOm0

RalphMachio 2007-03-26T04:22:23Z says:

Is anyone really suprised that Ned is stealing jokes? He is hispanic/mexican/honduran/overweight (and its a scientific fact that the obese steal), right? Us hispanics steal out of instinct. In fact, as you read this I am running across my neighbors lawn typing from their (mine now) computer......But you craka ass gringo's should stop stereotyping.

Mencia's jokes, stolen or his "own" are horrible, but I guess "my people" will laugh at anything, and then go knife fight and break a pinata.
