Bobby Lee contends that Carlos Mencia plagiarized material from other comedians and maintains that such actions remain inexcusable.

“I believe that you know there are certain things that you didn't consciously or unconsciously do but I think that there were some you know elements of your act that were um you know too similar to other people's acts and regardless if you're conscious about it or not you know it is what it is”

Comedians should have the right to joke about any topic, regardless of potential offense, as it is essential to their profession.

“I think that jokes don't need to be explained why because it's a joke no but let me just say wait you're you're not a black woman so you're not going to get offense to it but it's still a joke but the joke so I'm a I'm a freedom of speech person the same way I I think Kendrick has the right to say w”

“It was a funny [ __ ] joke and you're just assigned about it because you don't like people making mean jokes about you. And if you don't want people making mean jokes about your side then you need to hold your own side to account.”

He believes that the tension created by modern social restrictions can actually be a useful and productive element for comedians.

“I think it's a good time. I don't look all even all my friends who have gotten cancelled are doing arenas. So So I'm not I wouldn't cry for Chappelle or Rogan or Tom or any of these like or any of these guys are all these guys are doing incredibly well and the tension is fun to me.”

Comedians should avoid making jokes about other people's families or children.

“You don't talk about people's kids. Okay. You don't talk about people's kids. You don't talk about people's kids. You try Don't talk about their parents either unless the parents involved themselves and then we're all adults.”

Daniel O'Reilly claims that comedy should allow for anything as long as there is no genuine malice behind the intent.

“I half believe you should anything goes in comedy as long as there's not malice. But then I also believe that if you've got a big following, you've got a responsibility to put the correct message out.”
