I recently heard that Carlos Mencia was a Joke Thief, however can you steal jokes?, are they copyrighted? The claims are that some comedians are saying that he has stolen their "Jokes" or "Material" for years, if if that is so true, how come these guys don't have their own shows or made it that far if their jokes were so good and funny. I think the answer is simple. Jelousy. I think some of these guys are hurt because they never had the same success as Mencia has done for the las couple of years, and it must have hurt them the most because I've never seen a comedian have two superbowl commercials before.. I think that's what has triggered all this non sense. Also, some comedians acuse Mecia of being a racist, well it happens that one of the guys making one of the claims turns out to be a comedian who call himself "The Amazing Racist" check him out sometime and you'll see what I'l talking about.

ive seen carlos live! he is a remarkable entertainer, and personally....if he did steal someone's joke, than the other person was just not as good bringing it to the table. i think carlos is a comical genius and i will never turn my back on him. and the racist stuff is a bunch of bologna because anyone who is a true fan and watches the show knows that it is just the opposite. he is a supporter of all races and sexual orientations.
c'mon...he toured with a girl, an asian guy, and a dwarf!

this happens all the time. it's the same as someone stealing a cool pickup line. it boils down to who has more demand, some hack in a small time comedy club, or someone who has a tv show or tour. i cant support what you mention, but i heard the other morning on a local radio station, that someone claimed someone stole a joke. problem is, i believe it was within race (latin, mexican, whatever you want to call it). if you ever watched a movie called 'punchline' you will see it in action. as it is, as times go by, someone is bound to repeat something that has happened before: cussing, lenny bruce, andrew dice clay, dry wit; lack of enthusiasm: bob newhart, steven wright.
the one i heard was stolen, was george lopez talking about the wall being built between the states and mexico, and using mexicans to build the wall. not sure if mencia used this, but i think this was the one that was stolen

I have heard of this before. There is a type of honor or trust among comedians. If you want to use their joke you should ask them first. You can even buy a joke. It really is wrong to steal jokes and yes it does happen.
It could just be a rumor that Carlos is a comic thief. Sure feel sorry for him if he is. BAD KARMA

Joe's got a video of himself going on stage and letting Mencia have it for stealing his stuff.Mencia doesn't deny.Instead he acts like a little b**ch.
Must be some truth to it.
