- msjacoby, on 10/12/2007, -3/+387On top of everything else, Cosby's version is fun and good-natured, while "Carlos'" version is just bitter and spiteful.
- whorelock, on 10/12/2007, -4/+359Ned Holness is proving to be one hell of a no-talent ass clown!
- robbh66, on 10/12/2007, -4/+270His bitter and spiteful is just an act. When someone like Lewis Black is pissed at something, it's because it irritates him. When Ned does it, he doesn't even understand it. He's nothing more than a fat monkey imitating the masters.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+182The difference is Lewis Black is actually funny.
- fantasticFlan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+161Cosby's delivery was perfect, he built to a proper climax and when he hit the punchline it stood on its own, didn't have to add "that bitch didn't..."
Bill Cosby is one of the greatest comedians of all time, Mr Holness, you should be ashamed. - Ninjab3ar, on 10/12/2007, -17/+173OMG! Did Bill Cosby just steal that joke from Carlos Mencia?!
- shlolz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+151The worst part is how unnatural Mencia is while he's telling the joke...it just goes to show the difference in quality between these two comedians.

- ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -14/+127The video of this isn't what's amazing. What's newsworthy is what the video implies. If there's video of George Bush Jr in a police chase, I expect to find that under politics, not video.
- gallagherFTW, on 10/12/2007, -1/+103You mean yelling and running around a stage isn't as good as precise dialogue coupled with fantastic delivery??? Damn...
BTW the description? I mean it wasn't almost word for word. The concept/pacing was identical though, which is just as bad. - Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -6/+97Just counting down the days until he commits suicide (which is inevitable).
He's like the ebaumsworld of stand-up comics. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+97With man boobs.
- Shad0wSP, on 10/12/2007, -5/+88i thoought he was at least HALF mexican- hes not. Dad from Honduras, mom from Germany
- 98acura, on 10/12/2007, -11/+90This video needs to be downloaded and posted to all the major video sites, before Ned gets it taken down and put back online every time he has it taken down. Everyone needs to realize what a blatant thief he is, and put him on the streets where he belongs.
Dane Cook needs to go too... - WazzaInc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+79Wow, wheres Joe Rogan when you need him? I also hate it when Ned "carlos" keeps saying that only he can do "beaner" jokes because hes "mexican". Im 100% mexican and this infruiates me! I hope mind of mencia cancels.
- moofer, on 10/12/2007, -5/+81"Ned Holness is proving to be one hell of a no-talent ass clown!"
And you stole that from Michael Bolton - Sarevok9, on 10/12/2007, -8/+68@sleepJunkie,
sept 11th video's would've gone in the vid section if it was invented at that point too right? when A video is deemed as 'newsworthy' it wil make the front page....
i.e. Joe rogan has claimed that mencia has stolen *%&^ and made digg's front page, twice. This is just a follow-up, as proof. get over it - ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -4/+62Check this out: the great "I Just Blocked Your Cross-posting Ass" debacle.
- PunkPortrais, on 10/12/2007, -1/+59"What's the deal with all these Beaners? I mean, how many people can you fit in that car? Who are these people?"
Ned, you suck. - Tyler.H, on 10/12/2007, -0/+55@shlolz
I don't know if i would consider Carlos Mencia a comedian. - JackyTreehorn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+51I'm Mexican and I don't find it funny either, but Carlos pays me $1.50 an hour to laugh at his jokes.
- drinkGreen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+49Cosby isn't the only person he stole from. He's stolen a few bits from small virtually no-name comedians. I remember watching Mind of Mencia, and his whole rant was taken almost word for word from a southern comedian called T. Bubba.
- scaredofdeer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+44somehow Ned's version is worse. I tried to watch it backwards so it looked like Cosby stole from Ned , just to give him a chance, but either way I kinda wish Ned gets hit by a moped or at least a warm lump of bird ***** on his way out of chili's this week. I heard hes been cleaning tables for extra money now that his stand up has been exposed.
- muleking, on 10/12/2007, -2/+41Hack, Thief, Host of his own show on Comedy Central... yuck.
- Gatesophile, on 10/12/2007, -2/+40Okay, that goes way too far. I never really had much of an opinion of Carlos Mencia before seeing this, but now... ugh. Nobody should steal from Bill Cosby. And Mencia sucked ass at saying it even!
What a douchebag. - appurtenance, on 10/12/2007, -7/+43Interesting... my ex- is the same combination.
Attention all Germans and Hondurans:
Mixing German bloodlines with Honduran bloodlines during coitus may cause male offspring to be complete douche-bags.
...you've been warned. - Emilio8605, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34Exactly! I'm also Mexican, and I find every one of his jokes insulting, not funny. Real Mexican comedians like George Lopez and Paul Rodriguez are funny because they are proud of the quirks that make them Mexican. They're not insulting Mexicans or putting them down. They speak from experience. I always hated Mencia, especially the stupid dee-dee-dee thing he does. It's retarded. When I found out he's insulting people he's not even a part of, I despised him.
- travitherabbi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33"Divide by zero error encountered."
WTF? - Pssdoff, on 10/12/2007, -4/+37"It was later confirmed that Bill Cosby did indeed steal from Holness. By using a time machine, Cosby was able to travel back to 1983 and perform his act."
- spencewah, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33That's what the word almost is for.
- bking, on 10/12/2007, -8/+37I'm blocking you for using "lol," "@," a stupid pun, and "pwned" in one horrible, horrible comment.
- violentvinyl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+27"I bought a T-shirt with the snakes on a plane logo"
The joke is on you actually. - Brandondork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26Notice how much funnier Bill Cosby's "verison" was? That's good old fashion class, something you can't teach louzy comedians.
- franksmith, on 10/12/2007, -5/+30"Almost word for word" Bah... not even close drama boy.
Ripping off Cosby?...... dead on , absolutely! - spencewah, on 10/12/2007, -4/+29Curious maths.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31Wow, he changed Hi Mom to I Love You Mom.
Same ***** thing, same pun, same setup. - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24If you can get clips of both those bits, you've got yourself a scoop, dude.
- Paffro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25did you watch the video?
he stole the material- end of story - spira1he1ix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+23You mean that place with all the goofy ***** on the wall?
- SpenceMasta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22this is great, i hope he steals a seinfeld bit
- tdogg241, on 10/12/2007, -8/+28@loki440: Did you actually just say Cedric The Entertainer and Jamie Foxx *aren't* hacks? That just makes me want to puke all over your head, sir.
- TheAwesomeKing, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22Can Someone please start a petition so we can all get it signed send it
to comedy Central and have his show taken off the air?
This needs to stop. - glxyjones, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18@dhVyse
Yes he does, O&A played a clip of a joke he stole. It was the one on his cd about someone getting hit by a car and all he could say was "eh" or something else not very funny at all. Anyway, somebody did almost he exact same joke years ago but with a bike instead of a car.
I'm not sure how many others jokes he's stolen, but I doubt it's just that one. Regardless, it seems like Mencia steals most of his jokes. I have no respect for that man. - robdiggity, on 10/12/2007, -11/+28So wait... lemme get this straight... Carlos did a Jello pudding pop commercial?
- itseze, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20I always thought Mencia SUCKED HARD! I cant believe that he has another season on comedy central! Mencia must give a good blow job, something were knowing how to suck gives you your own show!!
- Vicille, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17@moofer
Please please please ***** tell me you're joking about the "College" shirt thing. You realize that a ***** of people wear these shirts, right? You realize that it's a way of showing respect to a brilliant movie, right? When did he claim to make it up?
Also, Joe Rogan isn't even in the video linked. What the *****?
I hope you're kidding. The internet hurts me so much. - DJCult, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15It's very true. I hate it when hack comedians believe they make something funny by screaming the punchline, or repeating it, a la Dane Cook. Yes, we get it. Don't hammer it home. See how Cosby handled it? Masterfully, not condescendingly to the audience.
- BrianNowhere, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18Any comedian who has not seen Bill Cosby's HIMSELF and hasn't studied it has no right to grace a stage. No way in hell Mencia hasn't seen this bit before. It would be like Tom York of Radiohead never having listed to the White Album or Dark Side of the Moon.
