Fear Factor was kinda fun. But for real, fuck Joe Rogan.

Fuck it, give Carlos a Netflix comeback special. Let's see how he does. Itll be named "Triggered"
If this is the "he's not really Hispanic/Latino" angle, he was born in Honduras to a Mexican mother and Honduran father, so let's not. Other than that, of course, drag this unfunny motherfucker.
Out of all the legitimate reasons to rip into him, I never got why "he uses a stage name" was the one that caught on.

Rogan might be a shitheel of the highest order, but calling out Mencia is still the best thing he's done.
Dude was just a mid 2000s rip-off of Chappelle, minus the wit and self-awareness. So, like, late 2010s Chappelle.
He talks about this on the podcast linked on here. That stash was only a small part of it.I believe I heard recently some law enforcement officials contacted Cook about money of his that was stashed in the wall of a house.
The only thing I remember involving joke thieving with regards to Cook was him accusing another guy of stealing his "essence" (not his jokes) and talking about it on WTF.
The last thing I heard him on he sounded fine, though. He's had a crazy ride.
So Chapelle stole his shit after he stole Chappelle's?
We need some good progressive comedians
12 seconds in and he claimed he's never not authentic. Yes except everything you base yourself on.
Then tries to score points by saying if he stole from Cosby, so what he's a rapist. Yeah, but that wasn't out when he stole the joke.

The only reason he ever got a huge push was because Comedy Central was desperate for a new show to supplant Chapelle's Show because it was clear Chappell's was done. Without that strong drive for edgy ethnic humor he never would have gotten anywhere in the first place— blaming Rogan for his downfall is wrong. Mencia's own shitty routine and schtick was his downfall. Plenty of good comedians have survived accusations of joke thievery (Amy Schumer and Denis Leary immediately jump to mind).
Its was a slow burn if I remember correctly, Rogan actually was banned from The Comedy Store for a while for pushing it, sticking up for those he stole from. Finally caught up eventually and Joe was invited back.
Cook... Lost all his money to his brother who he entrusted to be his money manager (who is in jail and still won't say where he stashed it). Never was a fan, but he was crazy good at leveraging social media (myspace) back in the day to hit a small, but crazy supportive audience that filled stadiums to see him.
That's the joke lol
lol Rogan would have to call him out again
(slaps forehead) I mean, I should've figured but duh on my part
This is where I'm at.Carlos Mencia has always been insufferable. I'm glad he's gone.
He recently appeared on an episode of RLM, sorry.
I thought Kayne murdered Carlos for insinuating he was a gay fish.
Rogan literally killed his career. This is one of the first things after the modernization of the internet that went truly viral. It was fun to watch.
I've always unironically liked Dane Cook. Got made fun of bunch of times. Looks like I've got a good radar for comedians lolIt's funny how a decade+ ago I couldn't stand Dane's stand up but after watching that I feel like I gotta support the guy lol. Seems like a nice dude who just got fucked over.
Rogan started it- But Mencia killed his own career. There's proof of his joke stealing all over the place and he still can't own up to it, including him "owning himself" after defending himself on a radio show, then mentioning a bit that the host recognized as being stolen, lol.
I mean it's easy to come up with the same joke as someone else. All the world's stories have already been told, right? Just have to try and not make it obvious.
Damn, the host was pretty much kissing Carlos' ass the entire team. "He shouldn't have bullied you. He should apologize." lmao.
