anyone see Joe Rogan owning Carlos Mencia onstage...

[k_jerome]

for stealing material?

for background, Joe's biggest pet peeve is comics that steal material. He has called out Carlos and Dane Cook in particular for stealing material. Dane stole huge chunks of Louis CK's act for an HBO special.

1. Rogan just rips him to shreds.

I didn't know about Dane Cook. That bums me out.

[k_jerome]

2. i heard him on XM...

and he pretty much went joke for joke and the material was virtually identical. CK has come out dissing Cook as well, apparently he is well known on the comedy circuit for stealing material. Rogan does give him props for being good looking and a good performer...but the joke stealing is a big sore spot for him.

3. another interesting point Joe brings up is that Mencia is not even mexican as he claims...

but half german and half honduran. real name Ned Holness (sp?). funny.

[Buddyblazon]

4. Yeah...

I read that whole thing the other night.

He's actually half German, half Honduran.

On edit:

Doh! You actually said his heritage. I get an F for reading comprehension.

5. Never found either of them funny

6. Dennis Leary is another favorite Rogan target

Rogan is wicked funny. I pity whoever tries to steal his material.

[eyepaddle]

8. Why is Leary a target?

I mean, it's not like there aren't a lot of reasons--I just want to know which one set off Rogan.

I don't think I've heard Denis Leary tell more than about two jokes in his entire career, all he seems to do is bitch about stuff.

"You know what I hate?--Slow Drivers in the fast lane."
"You know what else I hate?--My kids breaking stuff"
"You know what else I hate?--People who don't know what I want before I tell 'em"
"You know what else I hate....

10. Much of his early stuff was ripped off from Bill Hicks

Especially the whole smoking-constantly and being righteously pissed all the time.

[eyepaddle]

11. Oh, now I see it, but

Bill Hicks was funny, and Denis Leary isn't--that's why I never made the connection. ;)

[k_jerome]

13. never knew about Leary....

but Rogan RIPPED Dane Cook on XM. Had side by side comparisons of his material blatantly ripping off CK.

7. I hear Robin Williams is notorious for stealing jokes too.

Which only further vindicates my opinion that Robin Williams sucks.

9. Updates.

Thats a bit old now really. Since this Rogan was barred from The Comedy Store, and fired by his agent. Seems Carl....Ned applied some pressure.

Next Ned went on the Mikey show(morning radio) in San Fran. Ned talked about how it was bull, but he got busted stealing a bit on the radio show! He used a bit called the Stereotypical Olympics. The radio hosts recognized they had heard that bit before at a radio show work shop in Fla. Ned later called back and claimed the bit was given to him by said Fla dj's. Right Ned we believe you. :eyes:

Heres a link to the radio clip----->

I always dislike Ned. His show went up in Chapplles old spot when Dave had his problems. I checked it out but found all his jokes were in bad taste, even for me. All i ever heard were jokes about Mexicans, blacks, and the retarded, or other mental handicap.

12. They're all guilty.......Except for George Carlin

[Bucky]

14. and Steven Wright. What do you get when you cross Steven Wright with PeeWee Herman?

16. If Dane Cook steals jokes,

How is he so painfully unfunny???

Can't he find something humorous to steal???

[Starbucks Anarchist]

17. Maybe he stole from Dennis Miller.

[k_jerome]

18. i agree wholeheartedly. there is something about him people seem to like. nt.

[sasquatch]

19. Carlos is a hack, but he has his moments

He's definatly a helluva lot better than Sarah Silverman.
