Carlos Mencia isn’t Funny – Kanye West is a Gay Fish – South Park
Carlos Mencia gets Punished for Stealing Jokes
Do you like Fish Sticks? If you answered ‘Yes,’ then you are a gay fish according to the most recent episode of South Park. The premise behind the joke is that if you say it really fast, Fish Sticks sounds a lot like Fish Dicks, thus making you gayer than a rainbow trout. The joke was originally coined by South Park’s class clown, Jimmy, and later stolen and popularized by Cartman.
There were lots of great one-liners in the most recent episode of South Park, but my favorite part of the story has to be the continued ‘calling out’ of Carlos Mencia, one of the most non-funny and unoriginal comedians in history. For years he has been taking jokes from other comedians, and wrapping them up with a big ‘beaner’ bow and presenting them as his own. Basically he just takes a standard joke, adds a Mexican accent to it, and the simple minded and uninformed laugh because they are trained to laugh. Hilarity doesn’t actually ensue.
I had been complaining about how bad he was for years because he was stealing jokes from Dave Chappelle, and it turns out that pretty much every comedian hates Mencia as well for stealing their jokes. He also isn’t even Mexican. He’s half German and his real name is Ned Holness! Joe Rogan famously called him out while on stage a few years back. I will have to track down that video and make it a YouTube classic in the near future.
Kanye West is a Gay Fish
The Kanye part of this is episode is pretty classic as well. Much like the way Trey Parker portrayed Puffy in the past as a larger than life gangsta type, Kanye walks around with a crew and acts tough in this episode as he’s trying to defend the fact that he’s not into homo-beasiality. In the end, however, he decides that he can’t tempt fate and that he is indeed a gay fish!
After this revelation we are treated to a vintage song to support the claim that is actually pretty catchy. Nothing better than South Park’s creator, Trey Parker, making songs to support his comedy. Between South Park and Team America (not to mention Orgasmo and Cannibal the Musical), I don’t think many people have as much comedy songwriting talent as Trey. I am still waiting for DVDA’s first full length.
Some quality lines (all delivered by Carlos Mencia while being tortured by the Gay Fish Kanye West):
“I stole it man. Come on man, you know what it’s like? Being a comedian and not actually being funny? Come on Kanye, I just take jokes and repackage them with a Mexican accent man.”
“Look at me man, I’m not funny, I steal jokes. My dick don’t work man. I have to piss in a plastic bag man… I’ve got no dick!”
