in the hope that the good people of america can emancipate themselves from the shadow of bush and see beyond to a future where it is worth accusing and punishing the corrupt, might I suggest we reflect on Mencia calling Rogan out and insulting him when rogan had actually been prepared to maintain decorum by using comedic quips. VERDICT; MENCIA WANKS DOGS. PUNISHMENT = BLOW JOB BY A PIRHANA OR ANAL OBLITERATION BY LAXATIVE

Who Is Joe Rogan?

Both of these guys were wrong. Rogan's a bully. He likes to be the badass. Mencia should have left it alone. When you get on stage and say that someone is "too much of a pussy to say that shit to his face", you have to be prepared to take the consequences. I don't know how it is in LA, but in South Lousiana, them's fighting words. When you say that, and the other guy comes back and does say it to your face, there are only two possible outcomes. Either you whip some ass, or you take an ass whippin'. If Carlos cried to the management about feeling threatened, he's the pussy.

I love Mencia AND Joe Rogan, but huge respect to Joe for calling Carlos out. It's lame to stray from your own material, and people in the business know it. As for calling Rogan a pussy...I wouldn't recommend that. He's one tough dude, and Mencia is clearly no match. So instead of pounding the guy, he threw verbal punches onstage. No foul there.

My worst nightmare? Heck Lori I didn't think you knew how to read! Much less use the computer down at the local community college! And please stop with the sexual innuendo's; didn't work before and won't now. Albeit (that's a word, look it up) since I have managed to offend your insecurities, like Carlos did to Joe Rogaine, then I am pleased to be in said company. And inclosing, it rather doesn't matter to me whom wrote what, but rather is it funny, and by that is the comedian funny. Do you get my pt? OK, I didn't think so. Said another way: Carlos is funny and he's on TV, superbowl commercials, and on a huge tour, which will ultimately make him very rich. Carlos has a method in connecting to his audience both via cable and live. Some don't like him, but apparently most do. Joe doesn't have the talent/charisma to do the same; sorry but facts are facts. Is Joe selling out anyplace besides the Dayton Chuckle Shack (one night, one showing only)? Joe's not any of the aforementioned, so he acts out. This is what child psychiatrist's will tell you what happens to children when they are frustrated -- they act out. So Lori keep dreaming about our encounter....you're just another Joe Blow to me.

Well, Joe is hot or is he really trying to jump-start a dead career? Much to do about nothing, and believe me that was a hell of a lot of work to show that carlos's real name was "Ned." Who doesn't know that? BTW with all the quick and poor editing, I thought I was watching another propaganda piece by Michael Moore; just less polished but just as factual. And that's not a compliment. Perhaps this should be entitled: Joe's documentary - my failing career without Andy Dick. (Really, Joe if you had any talent, this stuff wouldn't happening to you. You would still have an agent, still have a gig, and maybe somebody would actually pay to see you. So quit the blame shifting and get back to work as a bagger at the local 7-11.).

If Joe doesn't come up with sufficent evidence, I don't believe him. Carlos lost his touch after the first season.

"Do you really think that a Jewish guy came up with that joke? A beaner joke?" Wow, Mencia's more racist than that Jimmy Smithington guy.

All the actions that Carlos Mencia, or should I say Ned Arnel Mencia, such as using the "copyright" argument to pull this video off youtube, getting Joe banned from the Comedy Store, etc. just emphasize what type of person he is and that this guy has no backbone and values. It shows he's willing to do anything to get ahead....and that includes stealing jokes.

Carlos Mencia is as unfunny to me as Joe Rogan usually is, but I have great respect now for Rogan. He stood up, called the guy out and anyone with any brains can see from the fallout that Rogan's telling the truth.

What's funny is I don't think we would be talking about this if Dave Chappell hadn't left his show. Mind of Mencia is a very hollow imitation of that show. Not a fan of Rogan's, but I may become one.

Carlos is a loser and just not funny. If he's stealing jokes I hope he steals better ones in the future.

that was great. I'm not a fan of Joe Rogan but that was really well put together, I think his point would have been more powerful if he didn't do the posturing/in-your-face/cursing stuff but kudos to him and eff Mencia for trying to shutdown the vid if it's true that's what he's doing.

Carlos is a sad, hollow-minded man. First he got the You Tube folks to take down the video (people re-posted and got around it somehow, thank goodness). Then he claimed he felt physically threatened by Joe to get him banned from the Comedy Store--what a load?! And now he's gotten Joe's agent to drop him (they share the same agent apparently)! To me, this just reinforces Joe's assertion that Carlos steals jokes. He got owned in front of a crowd of people and then knew the video would go viral and started thinking about what a punk he'd look like to everyone else. So he uses what Hollywood clout he has to piss on Joe. But the winner in all this is still Joe because he has the cajones to stand up for himself and for the art of stand-up. He could apologize to Carlos and make all this crap stop but he won't. I've got mad respect for the man.

Awesome! It's kinda like in high school, when two assholes you hate fight each other. No matter who wins, you win!
