Don't know anything about the Mencia guy, excpet for that South Park thing, which was great. My joke had nothing to do with them, it was solely based on calling you the lowest common denominator.

🤨

What's the "easy" stuff about? No one was pissed. 😐

And, yes, you're joke was obvious. Thanks for explaining. 😐

Carlos doesn't steal hardly anything. It's written for him. 😄

'Hardly anything' is still enough to condemn him for it.

Other comedians have come out and cited actual evidence to him stealing material from other comedians.

It's also been reported that Dane Cook also steals jokes.

Yeah, cause your...

Please. Both actually make witty jokes...even I provided an example, you'd argue with it. It's actually a trend to dislike the two by people like you. I can't describe it..but it is mainly "internet" types that don't like Carlos and Dane.

...was not butthurt and unrelated to what my joke was.

And it should be "your" not "you're", as I am not a joke. Well, maybe sometimes.

Not the good ones though.

It's more common than you think. However, if one commedian becomes successful, others provide nice resentment. It has been like that for ages among comedians.

I can see one or two jokes being coincidence but the dude ripped off an entire set from Bill Cosby. If you're going to steal jokes you don't steal from a big name like Bill Cosby. That's just damn stupid 😂

George Carlin, Emo Phillips? Great stuff.

Oh yeah, i wasn't trying to say that controversial comedy didn't exist then but the mainstream comedy was definitely more subtle and reserved. Just look at how Carlin evolved through his career. Carlin started out telling jokes and by the end of his career he was just sharing cynical observations 😂

ok i wanted to make this thread for the longest time, and i wanna discuss sumthing thats been pissing me off to no end. its this decades strengthening trend in the NEW FUNNY, neither movies , nor tv shows, nor even things like snl or late night is immune to this. its better to illustrate this by example. in MY humble oppinion thins/people/performances like THESE are funny.

jim carey - snl. any interview he does, ace ventura, liar liar etc

that 70s shows - hilaroius, witty, has you rolling on the floor with genuine humour

CLASSIC adam sandler- little nicky, water boy, happy gilmore. snl etc

russel brand- amazing new age comedian, genuinly funny and succeeds while other more famous retards fail

george carlin- duh, standup

lock stock and two smoking barrels/snatch - geniunly funny stuff, brit humour

prates of the carribean - again genuine warmth in characters and humour

jay and silent bob- basically another true role on the floor performance duo of the 90s

friends- yess we all loved it and laughed at it, still do

dave chepell/eddie murphy - classic standup and classic performances in moves

screwed - chepell and the other dude were in it, funny as hell

simpsons - self explanatory

south park - YES

american pie/roadtrip etc

robin williams -standup plus genuinly humourous performance

now CONTRAST this great humour with the newer trends in humour that i find absolutely appaling{and im hoping some other people do too}

the new snl- im sepcifically referring to the annoyingly monotonic and subdued/nasal/deep voiced ladies of the show

juno- succeeded as a movie but failed to make any laugh

the office- the SINGLE biggest culprit of the current times , the british version with ricky gervais was BARELY bearable, this one though....

arrested development- this show started it for america

will ferrel- HONESTLY, taladega nights, blades of glory, and that other friggin ping pong movie

Jon Heder - responsible for making the retard element

current adam sandler - seriously wtf is going on, zohan...need i say more

jimmy falon- if i had to define the trend in a single sentence, its the difference between this man hosting late night compared to conan o brian, nough said

now.

retards/screaming like a ***** on exctasy at the wrong moments/ultra magnified racist themes{referring more to will/john hedar style of comedy}

awkward silences

embarrising facial expressions that make you wanna punch them

awkwardness but no realistic angst as a result

minimal dialogue

subdued awkward laughter

inability to have a single conversation without awkward interruptions and indecisiveness on who shud talk next

simple boredom

awkward costumes usually showing overweight/unworked physiques in stretchy/shiny/in awkward poses

greater reliance on unconventional and not realistic or artistically inspired venues of sexuality {old ladies MADE to look embarrising/sleezy/out of touch and yet shameless at the same time basically making a fool of themselves and having penises rubbed against them and loving them} {referring more to adam sandler and i suppose to will/had too}

bad camera angles, no background music, amplified sound effects of
things falling or feet walking

---------------------------------------

these things/elements are NOT funny. seriously when the **** did all this start to be defined as HUMOUR?!?!?!?!

boredom=/= reality

it isnt reality, it isnt hyperreality, it isnt a new form of humour, it isnt coming back to the roots, it isnt creative, it isnt artistic, it isnt intellectually appealing {watch gimore girls instead of the office if you want everyday witty gialogue and intellectual babble thats funny, seriously}

it has absolutely no warmth or charm. it is BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! also, its a bit hard to summarise my thoughts on the subject so this is just a rought outline to make you guyes understand what im talking about.

agree? disagree, wanna add sumthing? wanna flame me?

discuss!

I blame it all on Krod Mandoon.

Why would you blame it on an awesome show?

Ugh, that show is vomit. I realize this thread is based on the semantics of one person's sense of humor vs another person's, but that show is just total crap. It's like someone watched that 300 parody and decided to build a series around it. Not that 300 wasn't a joke all on it's own.

South Park was fairly accurate on Mencia, 'I just recycle jokes with a Latino flair' is basically his shtick.

You suck donkey balls Fair enough, humor is subjective.

Robin Williams is the notorious joke thief.

H-he's Jewish?
