Hilariously, the original link on YouTube has been removed and you get a funny message about why.

Meh I don't think it's a big deal at all...I prefer the way Quentin Tarantino said it "Good artists borrow, great artists steal" ...the thing I found funny is all the people Joe was asking does he steal etc. I have never heard of ever...So basically even if he is stealing jokes and [censored] who cares he is making it...I find some of the stuff he says funny =/ Personally I don't care if it's stolen if I get a laugh out of it no biggie...would they prefer if at the end of the show he's like I'd like to thank so and so etc. for all the jokes I used c'mon seriously

This is likely because QT stole copiously from the Hong Kong movie City on Fire in making Reservoir Dogs

He was very close before, but this seals Joe Rogan as my #1 idol. He rules.

I always thought he was just a douche trying to make it in show-business, but after reading his blog, and partly because of the video, he seems like a very very cool person.

I'd agree, seems totally cool and real, except for the whole not believing we actually landed on the moon thing.

For those that missed it, Joe Rogan put it up on his own website. Can be seen here:

You see that Joe was banned from the Candy Store, and now has parted ways with his agent over this?

Yep, apparently Joe and Carlos have the same agent/publicity firm, and Carlos made them choose between him and Joe.

1. Carlos's comedy central show is horrible
2. His jokes drone on for too long at times
3. His political statements are gimmicky and he should stick more to comedy.
4. He was owned by Joe Rogan

That said, Carlos's stage show has some really funny [censored]. And come on now, not all of it's stolen. He crossed a line, but everyone is stealing at some level.

His "Take a joke America" run was pretty damn hilarious, especially the segment about how men are better to their friends than women.

I'm not necessarily standing up for Carlos as an individual, but you missing out on some great comedy if you don't at least give some of his material a shot. Download "Take a Joke America" somewhere. Not all of it is good but some of it is gold.

Also, Jo Koy who was on Carlos's Punisher Tour is one of the funniest up and coming comedians out there.

This is some BS. I'm going to call the Comedy Store and bitch a little. I'm also going to drop them an email.
