Carlos Mencia Gets Emotional: I Went from Doing Stadiums to Clubs Over Stealing Accusations (Part 9)

Watch Full Interview: • Carlos Mencia on Joe R...
Part 8: • Carlos Mencia on Kanye...
Part 10: • Carlos Mencia on Getti...
--------
Comedian Carlos Mencia clarified comments he made in 2009 about New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. He claims he never made the controversial joke about black people not being able to swim. Instead, Mencia said his comments questioned the logic of building a city below sea level. He said he did include a version of the aforementioned joke in his act, but only because there were statistics supporting it at the time. The comedian also addressed a misunderstanding that led to being banned from a few locations. Mencia also discussed his relationships with fellow comedians, acknowledging that he may have unintentionally hurt others in the past due to insensitivity and a skewed sense of humor.

Yes because every comedian that has been accused of “stealing” jokes has come out and admitted to stealing jokes 😂.

[@Azzury.]

The whole joke thief thing has just turned into a “let’s comb over this guy’s whole career and compile a laundry list of every time he came anywhere near even looking like he stole a joke”. Just shows how a powerful narrative can create a life of its own and dictate all truth. Fact is Rogan didn’t like Mencia and resented how people “fell for what he was doing”, and wanted to be the hero for his friends he felt to be slighted and wronged - in line with his natural disposition. It made him a pariah in the industry and a persona non grata as if he was touching kids. Yet many attached to the Rogan comedy troupe have seemingly been left untouched despite wrongdoings that equal or even far surpass repurposing jokes.

[@Jiu-Jitsu-Robot]

And you went to school to figure out this type of personality? I come to realize how privileged I am to grow up in an unprivileged environment. The streets teach you things that people pay tens of thousands to learn in an institution. I guess I went to “school” too, but I had to learn these traits for survival. To be able read a room is pertinent in all fields of life.

[@Rondondemarco]

@@NoLineNoWait123AbC Don't get it twisted or assume that I grew up in a privileged environment. I learned it in the streets too however the technical terminology assigned to my organic knowledge was amplified in the academia elements. It's not enough to be exclusively street 🛣️ smart, one must have book 📖 smarts and streets smart to perform at an optimal level in this corrupt world no matter what activities we embark upon. This is why it's troubling to witness the diminished IQ of the youth pushed in the drill rapper and other low IQ hip hop agendas. When I was coming up we had intellectual street individuals like PAC who could articulate, know history and was a damn scholar yet still came from the underprivileged environment of the streets like myself. Real Life is both like the streets and the school at the same time because it's political, albeit hood politics corporate politics or grand scale politics that determines our connects, networks and survival outcomes. What I learned studying Karl Jung and Sigmund Freud amongst others just amplified what I organically learned surviving the Southside of Chicago 🌆 my whole life. I have an abnormally high level of perceptive IQ naturally. I was told that by many teachers as a small child. Perceptive intelligence aka central intelligence is the most important part of survival in my life experiences. You can read all the academia books in the world 🌎 but if you can't identify a threatening personality type or a compromised circumstance that can hinder you, you will lack the skills needed for primitive survivalism. I'm not directly talking to you on this part just everyone who thinks that you can survive on pure books or pure streets alone. It's ☯️ in a way. I KNOW a lot of educated fools and a lot of poor uneducated very wise people.

[@1VetsVision]

Joe Rogan was banned from the comedy store, and lost his agent, but nothing happened to mencia. If it was me being accused, and it wasn't true, I wouldn't have quit comedy and make even better jokes but that wasn't reality. He knew he was caught. He didn't start out that way, but his need for more fame and power lead to this. He'll forever act like he was a victim. 😢😢

I think the first time I really encountered Rogan was on the Opie and Anthony show with Patrice Oneal. They talked about the situation where Rogan confronted him very shortly after it happened. Ive seen a lot of media over the years sorta questioning how Rogan had such solid relationships with so many comedians from the jump. He rightfully earned a lot of love for standing up for his friend against such a popular comedian. Seeing the trajectory of both men since is crazy. One became a pariah and the other one of the biggest personalities on the planet. Good lesson in the value of character. For Mencia to act like he wasnt VASTLY more popular than Rogan (back then) or any of those other comedians is INSANE. I followed that group of comedians back then and none of them were close to as big as Mencia, though a whole bunch of them all overtook him afterward. He tried to be a bully and someone stood up to him. Very hard to feel sorry for him when he cant acknowledge that shit a decade later. Not like someone ruined his life anyway. Im sure hes still very rich. The universe just reset things to how they should be lol. Mans a pathological liar.

I just feel bad for the dude. If he just straight up said yeah.. i fd up and did this n this everyone would respect him more and move on

[@plewisjr90]

I can't feel bad for someone who can't man up to what he did & cries about what his own fucked up actions did to him.

[@allenh7835]

My bad. I apologize. I was wrong vs Gtfoh, nothing you can do about it ! One can make the problem go away, the other can introduce you to how merciless Karma can be.

[@williamannette558]

This guy has no self awareness at all. Every interview he has ever done it’s always someone else’s fault. He has never taken responsibility for anything he always blames everyone or anything for a simple fact that he steals jokes Just admit it and move on

[@celesterwalker7725]

I always thought he was pretty funny back in the day. Only so many jokes you can steal, you have to have some ability. Most comediens don't write all they're own stuff any way.

“All they are own stuff”

Carlos went from stadiuns to a folding chair at Vlad TV

[@NEMtvOfficial]

His new Stand Up was hilarious...he went too far wit the last joke but I applaud the effort 😂

[@kayminpierrelarochelle8385]

And after all the therapy and all the chances he's had over the years, he STILL won't come clean and admit he stole the jokes... the world has seen them with our own eyes and he continues to lie...

[@OmarScruggs]

Im a standup comic and i feel no sympathy for a joke thief. None! A theif is a theif

[@juswolf22]

Show some sympathy he had to maintain the machine that made him.

[@twintalk2943]

@@juswolf22 the original commenter has never tasted success, if you have, you understand the allure or taking the easy road, and can feel some level of empathy for people who do and fuck up like Carlos

[@juswolf22]

@@twintalk2943 exactly. As humans we do more to avoid pain than seek pleasure. He said it himself he lost fun when it became a machine, of course his creativity was gone. Kevin hart is doing the same thing now.

[@twintalk2943]

@@juswolf22 almost every main stream rapper is on this list. Tons of the rogan comedian circle as well. What Carlos went through emotionally is insanely common, we spend too much time stoning the people that get caught instead of fixing our society so that it happens less.

[@juswolf22]

@@twintalk2943 it’s fixing itself really I’m noticing. The industry is grappling to gain the upper hand, but artist is finding more and more ways just to connect to the audience without the pressure of maintaining the machine.

The title is too funny

[@hotsauce3007]

After all these years still no accountability

[@MarcoPolo-pz4ch]

LOL pretty crazy stuff

[@emilypashak9834]

I don't see a bad guy just a guy who made a bad decision a long time ago.

[@Bingo_the_Pug]

Don’t be sad because it’s over, Ned, be grateful that it happened. 1% of comedians ever make it big time, he was one of them, enjoy your retirement

[@drew004jc]

"its never the scandal, its the cover up"............he handled the whole situation pretty poorly.......really poorly

[@markv7249]

A part of being a Man is admitting when you are wrong, even sometimes, when it's not your fault.

[@pinkchilldivestmentor]

You could tell he’s guilty by how he looks his body language he’s not relaxed, might be embarrassing, but he should just admit that he was appropriating other peoples jokes uncredited shamelessly. Then he could move on.

[@Channel-lj1zx]

Anyone hating on Carlos for stealing jokes was introduced to the comedy scene via Joe Rogan. Most of you have never been on a stage, let alone as a stand-up, to be so judgemental. It takes more than "material" to be successful. *Least important factor.*

[@juliosuaz187]

Joe Rogan? Comic View/ Def Comedy Jam shii premium blend.dude wasn't really stealing jokes we all do that ex: " i guy walk in a bar" he was taking life analysis n metaphors

[@battleaxe8252]

Yea you sound like a loser.

[@MattHobson-cr6xk]

All he had to do was put his hand up and admit it pay for someone to write for him and he would have been fine nobody likes him cause he plays the victim the dude got caught being a con and he has tried to lie and spin the story for yrs to his favour.and before you say it nope the podcast is okay from time to time but Joe's stand up is terrible got into stand up through Billy Connolly and Rodney rude so nope not a Joe nut hugger just a fan of common sense and reality is all

[@The015225able]

Material is the least important factor? That's what comics spend their whole time doing is writing and refining material. It's the actual art but it's least important?

[@simonlee498]

You shouldn't have a written opinion as you never attended Harvard an became known in the English language I bet you've never been on stage either lol

[@dannyvigilante138]

That real phone call was absolutely a real thing that really happened. For real. 🙄

Every one in the comments acting like him allegedly stealing jokes affects their lives personally.

He can't help lie constantly. This interview is making him look worse than before. You can see him scrambling to make shit up. Embarrassing.
