Ahhh, Wilford Brimley’s classic Liberty Medical commerical.
And the Die Uh Bee Tus remix!

Wow. This controversy has taken the web video world by storm. Joe Rogan has been a strong defender of a comedian’s creative rights. When a comic starts stealing jokes, Rogan has always called them out on it regardless of their status in Hollywood. Recently at the Comedy Store in L.A. (a regular performance spot for both Rogan and Mencina) Rogan confronted Mencina on stage in front of an audience about his alleged joke stealing. The argument gets pretty heated and essentially destroys Mencina’s credibility. The confrontation was filmed and viewed by over 50,000 people on youtube before it was taken down by Carlos himself. Rogan has subsequently been banned from The Comedy Store and has also lost his creative representation (who also represents Mencina). Props to Rogan for putting that guy in his place, definitely pick up his CD from 2001 I’m gonna be dead someday and support a true comic.
