The infamous mexican joke Ari claimed Mencia stole was originally Colin Quinn's and he quotes him verbatum. If you watch an old episode of Tough Crowd with Jeneane Giraffalo, Norton, and Giraldo a minute in the joke is said. This hypocritical nose knows no respect and its disgusting this hack has rode this controversy to the top. Ari Shaffir is worse than Mencia. He might claim that they were just ironically similar, but that's what Mencia tried saying and no one believed him.

Edit:

this tough crowd clip is from March 2003, Ari Shaffir told this joke in March 2004. He might claim they're just ironically similar but that's what mencia said and no one believed him. Maybe Mencia genuinely thought he was the first to make the joke? It works both ways. They should have looked into it before interrupting one of his shows, belittling him on camera, posting the video of confrontation on the internet, and destroying his career. That is one of the most despicable things you can do to someone. Mencia was somewhat known to rift off other people's material, like Ari, but notice how no other comedians went out of their way to destroy this mans life? The video is hilarious too. A lanky, scrawny little jew wearing an affliction tshirt acting like a tough guy when his pal Rogan already initiated the conflict. If Shithead had such a problem with it, why did he need to cower behind Rogan to voice his opinion?
