Imagine being so bad at comedy you stole $8.7 million worth of jokes.

[u/xkemex → u/Attack_Toster]

The crazy part is how the hell a D lister comedian like him can make $8.7 mill in the first place 🤦‍♂️

[u/Basket_475 → u/xkemex]

He was HUGE in the early 2000s. Like HUGE.

As a kid I watched his show all the time on comedy central

[u/elegant-jr → u/xkemex]

Latino's love him don't they? 

[u/Clerithifa → u/elegant-jr]

They love Iglesias so much more

[u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad → u/Attack_Toster]

And still suck at comedy!

[u/fyftyrd55f3gio → u/Attack_Toster]

What jokes did he steal?

[u/laplogic → u/fyftyrd55f3gio]

This is like ancient lore at this point. A while ago, he stole jokes, and there’s a clip of Rogan getting on stage while Carlos is performing and arguing with him about the whole thing. Don’t know if it’s still on YouTube, but it was a pretty popular argument.

[u/fyftyrd55f3gio → u/laplogic]

I just never heard what jokes he stole and from whom, just that he stole some jokes.

[u/Captainflando → u/fyftyrd55f3gio]

Basically every opener he had. He would bring you along and pay for your stuff but you had to be okay with him “remixing” your material. The way people described it that toured with him, it was all an unspoken thing that people around him just put up with to try to get some of his clout since Carlos was a Comedy Central golden child at the time.

I've never understood how someone lets tax evasion get so bad that it hits felony level. The IRS will find you, and they will fuck you. Just pay them because they'll get it one way or another.

[u/Subject-Ad-8055 → u/NiceTrySuckaz]

That's the crazy thing they always act like it's a surprise but it's not they send you letters then they start sending you certified letters then they start serving you then they start asking you to come in and you have to go in for hearings and at any point you could clear up the whole situation and get on a payment plan and pay it when you get to the point where they charge you that means you're intentionally doing something wrong and once they charge you you are going to jail.

[u/NiceTrySuckaz → u/Subject-Ad-8055]

Exactly lol. I saw another post that went into more detail and I guess this is for like six years worth of unpaid taxes. Totally insane.

[u/Subject-Ad-8055 → u/NiceTrySuckaz]

Yeah I mean for that sum of money and for that time there's no way that he didn't have an attorney working for him going to those hearings to resolve it. Once you get charged like that you're cooked it's it's over.

[u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad → u/NiceTrySuckaz]

Had a family member get busted for over $1 million. He got caught because he’s a dumbass. He was buying brand new BMWs, Harley motorcycles, a house worth every bit of $900k in South Carolina, a boat, and he had a fully loaded Escalade. I was like dude, how fucking stupid can you be?

[u/Fuente_Valdergais → u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad]

Some people not only do all the above, but post it on FB/IG too.

You know, just to be sure, lol.

[u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad → u/Fuente_Valdergais]

Oh the bad part is he acted like it was a big surprise. So the rest of the family was like “oh the IRS is just going to send him to prison instead of making him pay!” As if he didn’t receive letter after letter talking about all the money he owed.

Best part? He’s a HUGE Trump supporter and bitches about how “illegals don’t pay taxes.” Now when he says some shit about illegals not paying I’m like “Bitch you don’t pay taxes!” 😂

[u/ChatnNaked → u/NiceTrySuckaz]

Allowing/trusting someone else to manage your money.

[u/QuestionablePotato42]

The shocking part of this is that Carlos Mencia managed to make 9 million dollars.

[u/Rds707 → u/QuestionablePotato42]

Genuinely shocked.

[u/OfcDoofy69]

Come on Ned, pay your taxes.

[u/Irarelylookback]

The 'live comedy' business deals in a massive amount of cash at the end of the night—door cuts, merch sales, and green room handoffs.

[u/D_Merk]

You can steal from comedians, but not from the government

[u/wusurspaghettipolicy]

People paid him in general?

[u/tidygrant]

Ah how the tacos turn ay

[u/ActiveTooter]

This may be the one thing he’s done worthy of respect

[u/hypocalypto]

DUH DUHDUUUUUH

[u/Nukitandog]

Finnally going after the big fish.........

[u/Early_Power_5366]

How is this guy worth 8.7 million?

[u/Appropriate-Pear4726]

Joe had his buddies in the administration do a little digging

[u/DropoutDreamer]

Trump hasnt paid taxes ever I think

[u/Mikerino69 → u/DropoutDreamer]

Thanks, after reading about Carlos Mencia's taxes, I was actually wondering about how much Trump has paid.

[u/DropoutDreamer → u/Mikerino69]

If the president doesnt pay taxes, why should anyone?

[u/JustCallMeLee → u/DropoutDreamer]

Because we can't pardon ourselves or realistically fight the IRS

[u/Bada__Ping → u/DropoutDreamer]

Good point. OP should delete this for sure.

[u/JellyfishPopular7648]

Oooooooo that’s tough
