I just got home from the best comedy show I have seen, EVER. Carlos Mencia rocked my world tonight. I haven't laughed so hard for so long in years. Seriously, my cheeks, stomach, and hell, my back and neck hurt from laughing so hard.

The show was supposed to last 2 hours. It started at 7:30 with 3 openers who were offstage by 9. Carlos walked on just after 9 and said goodnight at 11:40. I couldn't believe what time it was!

I like him because he leaves no one out. He tells it as he sees it and he's opinionated as hell. He is wrong, he knows it, and he's proud of it. And, tonight was his birthday! Guess what his crew got him? A Sarah Palin blow up doll!!!!

I'm an amateur comic (hobby) and Mencia's name is mud with us, for stealing other comics' material. Dunno why he does that - he's rich enough to afford writers.

He is probably the last good comic around. You have to borrow material. If you were that good at delivering it he would not be able to steal it.

Stealing material? I have never seen a comic so racially oriented as Mencia in my life. I've been going to comedy clubs my entire life. Some impart a little but not like Mencia.
He seems to speak the truth when it comes to stereotypes.

A big one is when a comedian used the "who would they get to build the fence around the border? MEXICANS!" and Mencia used it a few years later. When it was brought up to him he refuted it, his main case being "a Jewish guy couldn't do that joke before me." Awesome! Apparently he's stolen a lot from George Lopez as well, and I can't imagine being so hard up for material you have to go to there. Joe Rogan did a video with comedians talking about his material theft with video confirmations of performances.You can look it up online or watch the video here- :http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7841918711943453918

To the OP: I'm glad the show was so great for you, I just can't stand him. I love comedy and have wide tastes there, he just doesn't do it for me. I miss Dave Chappelle...

Um, Ray, no offense, but you don't know what you're talking about. You do NOT have to borrow material.

When I think of a line, I will spemd ten to fifteen minutes working it, seeing how to present it best. Then I'll insert it into a routine at a bar or open mic, a low profile performance, and see how it does. I'll try two or three more timnes before I use it on a high profile gig. And 90+% of my material gets discarded.

Material is nothing more than intellectual property. Stealing that from a comic is exactly like plagiarizing an author.

Forgot about George Lopez. Although I still think Mencia is more racially motivated than Lopez. Seen them both many times.

I was listening to the comedy channel on xm radio and one comic says he writes all his jokes into a screenplay of a man doing those jokes. Which legally protects the jokes as part of a movie.

He certainly is not. Chris Rock is actually funny, writes original material, and IMO is a very smart guy. The really good comics have a different viewpoint on things and make you think. (How I miss you, Mitch Hedburg...)

Mencia, joke-thieving aside, is way too preachy, has a huge ego, and is so freaking repetitive, he's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
