that can't do anything but spazz out and/or yell on stage.

So this guy calls me champ. And I figure he means loser. Because he's the kind of guy that would call me big fella, and I'm kind of weedy.

yeah i hate carlos mencia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRmMBFbroS8)

i dunno, most of them aren't funny to me. i'm a big fan of the Comedians of Comedy peeps, though. they're not like most comics out there, and i like that.

I find it far more interesting to watch somebody taking chances and doing things "the wrong way" in comedy then digging themselves out and being 100% entertaining. When they got that inherent timing it doesn't matter. Its all in the delivery. That and a good mix of wit are what make up my favorite comics today.



A blind 16 yr old kid with down syndrome that works at Pizza Hut has a better/less annoying delivery than Dane Cook.

I've always had a hard time getting in to comedians because either

A) They constantly curse and it has no real substance or relation to the material

or

B) I just can't relate to what they're talking about because it will be about something stupid like drinking or doing nothing and getting high.

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Carlos Mencia

:rolleyes:

it's ok though. here's joe rogan (who i didn't like until i saw this) exposing him for who he is, in front of a crowd and several other comedians. all "carlos" can do is say "shut the fuck up"

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=1943040863

i guess he couldn't think of any good comebacks to steal

joe got dropped by his talent agent apparently, the same talent agent that represents mencia because of this. joe had this to say

My agent dropped me because of the Carlos™
This is starting to get hysterical.
As the fearful little animals scamper to a safe, dry spot on the sinking ship of lies, characters are exposed and karma is radiantly beautiful.

My agent from the Gersh agency, who is the same guy that represents Carlos, spoke to me on the phone today. He told me that he was being "put in the middle of this thing, and forced to make a choice." He said that Carlos wanted to get on the phone with me and end this once and for all, and get this... wanted an apology.
If I didn't do this, he wanted the Gersh agency to either drop me, or he would leave them.

I told them that was fucking hilarious, and said that it's been fun working with them. The fact that they would even consider asking me to do something like that meant I was going to leave them anyway, but the sheer stereotypical "hollywood" nature of conversation actually fucking shocked me.
It was like a scene in a movie. Not even a current movie. More like that Kevin Bacon movie "The Big Picture" that was about the evils of Hollywood from the early 90's.

I hung up the phone and laughed out loud. A real, hard, pleasure filled laugh.

Now can you IMAGINE if I was a young, struggling comic and all this shit went down? THAT is the really ugly part of it.
Now you know why people don't speak up about this shit.

Hollywood eats it's young.
At least the Gersh agency does.

What a fascinating, and intriguing life this is turning out to be.

he was also banned from the club that this took place at (by the owner, pauly shore lol). which is weird, because carlos is the one who started it by inviting him on stage

I would like to see Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia smash their heads together repeatedly for a few hours to see which one of them dies first.

Now THAT would be comedy.

Perhaps, but Dane Cook is a walking stereotype, so he's not really very far ahead in the shitty comedian marathon.

delivery and timing kind of go hand in hand. If a comic has a fucked up timing, his delivery suffers.

If anyone's still interested in the Joe Rogan v. Mencia thing, a friend of mine dropped this googlevideo link for it. Also some bits from George Lopez and Bobby Lee is in there somewhere.

when i went to UF in 1988, i saw him^ perform for $.50. some sort of thing where the student council or alumni association paid the bulk of his fee so that students could go for next to nothing.
