I've seen that show "Mind of Mencia" like, 4 or 5 times. Lemme tell you, i mostly fucking hate it. He tries too hard to be the Mexican Dave Chappelle. The thing is, Dave Chappelle is a comedic genius, while Mencia is a stupid wannabe. He takes on this obnoxious voice and just tears into mexicans without really being that funny. He, somehow, became the voice for hispanic self-critique, but get this: he's widely accused of stealing large portions of his material.

It has the comedian Joe Rogan bringing up 3 or 4 comedians all willing to testify that Mencia steals jokes. It's kind of one of those awkward to watch videos, but if you get all the way through its pretty interesting. This guy has stolen from a lot of talented comedians. One of which is George Fucking Lopez! George allegedly punched Mencia in the face at a comedy club after accusing him of stealing 13 minutes of his routine for an HBO special.
Well all that is just sort of funny, but probably the best part of the whole video is seeing how truly fickle the crowd was. At the beginning they were begging Joe Rogan to sit his ass down, and by the end they were booing Mencia off the stage. Too fucking funny!
