Oh Dear Lord: Carlos Mencia Swipes A *Famous* Joke This Time

The previous defense was that many jokes are somewhat obvious and can occur to people independently.

However, as just about everyone remembers this Cosby joke from that concert movie that played incessantly on HBO in the eighties (Himself), certainly Carlos Mencia remembers it. He's a comic, after all. This is his job. Cosby was huge. It's just not possible a professional comic doesn't know most of the acts of huge comics that came before.

I guess his only defense is that he must have forgotten he heard it from Cosby, or else why swipe a joke so famous, and imitate even the set-up nearly word-for-word?

This is getting embarrassing.

Next: Carlos Mencia incorporates dirty nursery rhymes into his act.

This Beaner chick was suckin' my... OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Previously: Carlos Mencia was getting away with stealing jokes from Joe Rogan, because, hey, who the hell is Joe Rogan? Not even Joe Rogan knows who Joe Rogan is.

Strong language warning as Rogan and Mencia have it out in front of an audience (marking the first time either has successfully entertained a crowd):

Stealing from Bill Cosby, though?

Like they say about serial killers as they get sloppier: They want to be caught.

Heh: Bumperstickerist asks,

Does anybody know if Carlos has a brother Russell, with whom he, Carlos, has slept?
