Top Five Reasons Why Joe Rogan is Better Than Carlos Mencia

5. Carlos Mencia Wasn't on News Radio - Do you remember that show? It was great, and Joe Rogan was the man in it. It's probably for the best that Carlos wasn't in it, since he would have just played the lazy Mexican who didn't do anything.

4. Joe Rogan Uses His Own Material - You must of heard of it by now. Joe Rogan called Mencia out for using other people's material, and had a sort of battle against him on stage. And by battle I mean a discussion between two civilized men wherein Joe provides enough proof to convict him in court, and Mencia retorts by calling him a little bitch. Good one Mencia, and speaking of comebacks...

3. Joe Rogan's Comebacks Are More Original Than Mine - Carlos' response to Rogan saying that he uses stolen material was that he thought Joe was gay and was secretly in love with him. Are you serious? I don't care if you're joking, that's a last resort tactic. You're a professional comic, either make fun of him relentlessly, or defend yourself, or something. By calling him gay, you're showing off your lack of talent and making your own situation worse.

2. Joe Rogan is Actually Funny - Have you heard Mencia's act? I'll summarize; I'm Mexican and lazy. Beaner, beaner, beaner, crossing the border to the US. Not bad, considering I didn't look up anything to go by. I'll admit, he has been able to make me laugh, but overall, his bits get tiring and are just one racial slur after another. He doesn't deserve his own show, and I curse Comedy Central for giving him one.

1. Joe Rogan Doesn't Pretend to be Mexican - It's no big deal to change your name for when you become famous or whatever your reasoning is, but... Mexican? Yeah, I'm sure it makes it easier for you to mock Mexicans when your audience thinks you're one of them, but I'll give you a tip, Carlos, or Ned, whatever your name is, making fun of Mexicans... Isn't that hard. Joe Rogan is all that he says he is, and a true American Hero, so suck it Mencia.
