All I can say is that it sucks that Mencia is probably going to go down for this and rightly so. I saw him about 5-6 years ago before he was ever famous and, like the DJ says, he's just a really nice person. He went 45 minutes over his time and talked in person with everyone who came to the show afterwards.
Okay, we get it, Carlos Mencia steals material! Wow! Tell me something I don't know. How about instead of, uh, stealing someone else's material for this YTMND, you instead THINK CRITICALLY? Guess what, you dumb c*nt? Morning show boot camp? It took place in August 2006. The Mencia episode featuring Stereotype Olympics? July 2006. http://www.tv.com/mind-of-mencia/episode-215/episode/813124/summary.html Good game, next map you f*cking media whore.
haha you guys Don't see the sure genius of this man. Hes a guy that talks about stereotypes... the stereotype of Mexicans is that they steal right? See where I am going with this? He is living his stereotype!
But seriously, Mencia is a Thief and shouldn't have a show
And yes I know he isn't really Mexican and his name is Ned
I don't know about this. The idea of "stereotype Olympics" is basic enough that anyone could come up with it on their own. Conan O'Brien had "Stereotypes On Dirt Bikes" a long time ago (probably almost 10 years ago by now). The DJ claimed that many aspects of the bit were the same, but I'd need to see them side-by-side to judge for myself.
It's certainly true that Carlos Mencia is a talentless hack, and it's probably true that he steals jokes. I think it's funny that he doesn't even understand the criticisms against him. People don't CARE that he exploits stereotypes -- they get that. They just don't think he's funny because that's ALL he does. He's one of the most predictable comedians around, and his "edginess" is completely shallow.
What's actually funny is that Mencia probably doesn't realize he's stealing stuff. He's so stupid that he forgets where ideas for jokes originate, and so he just writes down the ideas in his head thinking they're his own when they were something he probably heard years ago and forgot about. The "dee-dee-dee" crap should be an attempt at self-deprecation, if anything.
This YTMND is taken out of context, even if Ned does steal, this was resolved back in July 06. Listen to Ned's explanation: http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/18227/podcast/SANDIEGO-CA/MSHO-IP/carlosclearstheair.mp3?CPROG=PCAST&MARKET=SANDIEGO-CA&NG_FORMAT=other&SITE_ID=63&STATION_ID=MSHO-IP&PCAST_AUTHOR=The_Mikey_Show&PCAST_CAT=Talk_Radio&PCAST_TITLE=The_Mikey_Show_Podcast
