	That leather pants Comedy Central special went crazy, and his career went LL Cool J: chicks thought he was hot, and the alt-comedy nerd consortium decided he was no good.  Whether or not he was exactly your thing didn't matter: it was decreed he was a hack.  <br />
	<br />
	The three jokes he was accused of stealing, they're not very good.  Not unique.  Not specific or significant enough to logically affect how you should view him.  Too bad they became attached to "he stole them from Louis CK" (this shit happens all the time, and they worked it out privately--but dude has tons of material and knows the do's and dont's: he's not stupid.  Carlos Mencia* he's not.).<br />
	<br />
	He's not my mainest dude, but to deny that he's funny is nonsense.  He sold out Madison Square Garden like three consecutive nights.  There's a handful of comics that have ever done that.  Not like that's an instant stamp of comedy greatness, but it's undeniable.  The guy is funny.  To a lot of people.<br />
	<br />
	Apparently, his act is now getting super personal and honest.  The realest shit on earth, true stand-up.  I'd love to see it.  Jokes is one thing, but stand-up<br />
	<br />
	*Carlos Mencia is also a great comic.  His ruthless ambition can overshadow that: he's got a problem.</div></blockquote>

	You know who's the awesomest singer ever, ever, ever?  Barry Manilow.  Because he's, like, really really successful, and he's sold out lots and lots of shows in lots and lots of venues.  He's just like GREAT because of this, and no one should ever say otherwise, because he's just like great.  The realest shit on Earth or something.  For real.  Like WOWARAMA.  Golly Jeezus rama lama ding dong and stuff hoo boy.  I swear it.
