[insert random "Mencia Sucks!" here]
I've never liked the douchebag. He's a perfect example, in my mind, of a one-trick pony.

Bah, I honestly don't think this one is THAT bad. How exactly would Mencia find out about a stereotype olympics done by a bunch of DJ's in Miami? This one doesn't really check out. Don't get me wrong, I think Mencia is pretty much a thief, but it looks like at this point people are just begging for people to bash him. Stereotype Olympics sounds like a pretty broad topic, and it doesn't seem overly coincodental that it could occur more than once.

But had there BEEN a third season of Chappelle, Mencia's jokes and racial skits would seem even more redundant and tired. I can't see his show making it if Chappelle's Show was still on. Yeah, I agree with that. If Chappelle was still around Mencia wouldn't have made it threw season 2.

THIS time, Carlos might actually be innocent. I doubt it, but he might. HOWEVER, all the times he's stolen material before, pretty much label him a thief, and so this time, he's guilty until proven innocent.

I cannot STAND Mencia.
Bad enough he's a thief, but, God man, at least Dave Chappelle's racial humor was FUNNY! And at least it wasn't the ONLY thing he joked about!
That he's a thief is just icing on the Crap Cake that is Carlos (Ned) Mencia.

That he's a thief is just icing on the Crap Cake that is Carlos (Ned) Mencia. And Chappelle's Show wasn't just racial humor. I mean, the Rick James episode, the R. Kelly parody, the Star Wars sex scandal sketch. These really had nothing to do with race, and they were just as hilarious as the Black White supremisist, the white family named n*****s, and the Black reparations sketches. Mind of Mencia is basically centered around racial humor.

Krusty Mencia talks to George Carlin:
"Hey, YOUR 7 things you can't say on TV bit is completely different than MY 7 things you can't say on TV bit!"

To be fair.....I do believe Carlos came up with "Dee dee dee" all on his own. Or he may have swiped it from the three year old in line ahead of him at the 7-11.

Mind of Mencia's Stereotype Olympics happened sometime last year, so I'm guessing the audio clip was also. He took the idea from a couple of DJ's in Miami? Unless I see the actual "notes" they took or some other form of evidence, anyone can say stuff like that and be lying. But don't mind me; let the Mencia hate flow. I see your point, but at the same time, I see no reason not to believe this DJ. I mean, what does he have to gain by lying? It's not like he personally claims to have made it up. In any case, I find the idea of this DJ lying to be the less plausible of the two scenarios. My opinion of Mencia is basically that, while he's made me laugh a few times, I don't think he's funny or original enough to have his own show.

The radio DJ says that the joke was part of a "morning show Boot Camp" kit... it's possible that Mencia or one of his writers was there and decided to use the idea because no one else was currently using it.
Not that I'm defending him... I never found him funny at all. I've only seen him a few times and I never laughed at anything he said. Not even a slight chuckle.

I think every comedian steals at least a little in their career, maybe sometimes without even realizing it. Jerry Seinfeld's bit about airport soap is a rip off of Bill Cosby's school soap bit. They just need to have sense enough to put a newness to it, not just plagarize word for word. That's where Mencia ran into trouble, he doesn't even try to make it different.

I actually listen to this show since it's broadcasted locally here, so i heard it when it aired.
I know a lot of comedians steal but it isn't their whole act.
