Lowest of the fucking low!
This shit boils my blood, so let me start off by saying, FUCK CARLOS MENCIA and FUCK DENNIS LEARY. Pair of theiving no talent fucks that steal from much better comedians.
This video of Joe Rogan calling Carlos Mencia out for being a plagiarists piece of shit is classic.
More comedians need to call these fuckers out. As a huge fan of the greatest comedian to ever live (William Melvin Hicks aka Bill Hicks) I get an uncontrollable urge to punch Dennis Leary in the face ever time I see the talentless fucking piece of shit hack. Stealing from a far more talented person is bad enough but then filling a TV special full of the stolen material is just fucking disgusting. Take a look at this to see what I am talking about -
It wouldn't be so bad but he steals the jokes and then wraps them in his own selfish arrogant ego and removes the beautiful essence and intelligent philosophies that were Bill's theme. The overall message of hope and love is gone in the way Leary performs Bill's material. Leary has also been (justifiably) accused of basing his entire on stage persona on Bill's, however elements of Leary's own arrogant self-centered persona that doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself, instead promotes a very undesirable way of looking at the world.
And worse of all Leary used the "No Cure for Cancer" special (full of Bills material) as a springboard to fame while Bill tragically died of cancer.
However Bill Hicks continues to sell more albums every year and his legacy as a one of the greatest comedians has been honoured many times. In a 2005 poll to find The Comedian's Comedian, fellow comedians and comedy insiders voted Hicks amongst the top 20 "Greatest Comedy Acts Ever" at number thirteen. Likewise, in "Comedy Central Presents: 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time" (2004), Hicks was ranked at number nineteen. While the hack Dennis Leary shamefully appears at number 50 (but at least he was many places underneath Bill).
On the 25th of February 2004, British MP Stepehen Pound tabled an early day motion titled "Anniversary of the Death of Bill Hicks" (EDM 678 of the 2003-04 session), the text of which was as follows:

- That this House notes with sadness the 10th anniversary of the death of Bill Hicks, on 26th February 1994, at the age of 32; recalls his assertion that his words would be a bullet in the heart of consumerism, capitalism and the American Dream; and mourns the passing of one of the few people who may be mentioned as being worth of inclusion with Lenny Bruce in any list of unflinching and painfully honest political philosophers.[7]

Yea, Howard exposed the same thing years ago.
Leary is funny but now we know why he's funny. Comedy is hard to do I would imagine but individuality is what makes success especially in your own community. The average people may not know he's a hack but the comedy community is not fooled.
