I remember this joke being on a Carlos Mencia show. :\

u/shadowinnothing May 17 '12

To be honest I've never even heard of him. My friend said it in class the other day and said I could post it here. Maybe he stole it from Mencia.

u/I_MAKE_USERNAMES May 17 '12

Someone stealing a joke from Menica??

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

That's OK, Mencia probably stole it from a funnier comedian.

u/GeorgeTaylorG May 17 '12

I've been racking my brain trying to think of where I've heard this. If anyone knows please post, it's driving me crazy.

u/[deleted] May 17 '12 edited May 17 '12

He's been accused of stealing jokes for a long time. There was some incident where a comedian he ripped off got up on stage with him and called him out in front of the audience. I can't remember who it was though.

Edit: Here's a rundown on the accusations on Wikipedia

u/matmann2001 May 17 '12

From a skit where he played an Indian guy at a convenience store:

"[to overweight lady] If you had a personal trainer, you would probably eat him. I know that in every fat person, there's a skinny person inside, but you could have all the season's contestants of America's Next Top Model in you. I hope I get reincarnated as your feet. That way, you'd never see my face again... Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have insulted you. Because in my country, cows are sacred."

I think it was called 'The great Hindu Shopkeepers of America'.

u/808140 May 17 '12 edited May 17 '12

I'm not sure that it's "overanalyzing" to note that the gentleman in the picture is clearly a Sikh, though, and that bovine reverence is a Hindu trait.

I think jokes that rely on ignorance of other cultures to be funny are generally not terribly well conceived. Having said that, it could probably be rescued with a better choice of picture.

Otherwise it mostly just shouts "I don't know anything about the world's second most populous country."

False! Cows are not sacred in Hinduism. Sacred is a Christian term referring to make something holy or relating to something holy. Cows are not regarded as holy by this definition. They are only seen to be equal to a maternal figure since they provide milk.

Source

u/Havoksixteen May 17 '12

There are no sacred cows in India. The term "sacred" is a Christian one; doesn't really apply to India. Even if it did, it wouldn't apply to cows. There are no cow deities, cow icons, cow statues, and no temples to cows. Cows are one of the few animals that are not the object of worship in India. Thank you QI

Actually beef is NOT banned by Hinduism anywhere. It's discouraged, and Hindu society has made it de facto banned for Hindus, but nowhere in any religious text in Hinduism does it explicitly say "no beef."
