Comedian and radio talk show host Adam Carolla may be funny, smart and I guess endearing to a certain group of people... you know sexists, shock comedians, atheists, college frat boys and 5 dollar hookers and whoever else.
You can't deny that the guy is somewhat popular and effective. His act as a douche bag actually used to sell. He did after all at one point have his own radio talk show which was cancelled by CBS and used to star with Jimmy Kimmel on "The Man Show" and is a writer for Jimmy Kimmel Live. The guy heads a company called Jack Hole Productions and produced a show called "Crank Yankers" where they had comedians crank call people and animate it through puppets. Real revolutionary stuff- syke! He's got some money and has made somewhat a name for himself in Hollywood.
That however doesn't excuse him for his ignorant and hateful comments against the Philippines.
Carolla started his tirade after a caller brought up the whole drug testing issue that led to the falling out of Pacquiao's mega-fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Carolla ridiculed Pacquiao's stance of not relenting to Mayweather's baseless blood drawing scheme which required him to be randomly blood tested at any point prior to their fight. Pacquiao agreed to get his blood drawn 24 days before the fight and immediately right after, but not the day before or closer than 24 days to the fight itself because he claims it weakens him and disrupts his training. Being the smaller guy, Pacquiao also thinks this is just a ploy by the naturally bigger Mayweather to gain an advantage against him. Carolla blasted Pacquiao and said,
"Because he's from the Philippines, because he's praying to chicken bones, you got to respect him for his belief system? No you don't! He's a fuc*in idiot!"
"Here's when you know your country don't have a lot going for it. When it's all about Manny Pacquiao."
"What if Ray 'Boom-Boom' Mancini fights in the Philippines and that's what all the United States was about? .. the United States would close down when he fights. He'd come back here. He'd run for president and everything would be Ray Boom-Boom Mancini mania. . Get a fuc*in life as a country!”
“All you fu**in got is just an illiterate guy who happens to smash other guys in the head better than other people?!”
“Really, you want some guy with brain damage running your country? Why don’t you get your sh*t together?”
“All they have over there is Manny Pacquiao and sex tours.”
“What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression?” "It's okay to be proud of your countryman but that's it? That's all you got?"
"Jesus Christ! It really p!$$ses me off when other countries do that whole thing. There's one guy. He's 5 foot 6. He's a 147 pounds and he's good at punching other guys in the head and you're going to build your entire country around this guy?
“What happens when Floyd Mayweather beats him? Does your country go into depression? Jesus! You know you got nothing going."
What Carolla said is nothing new. Ignorance and hate exists. I've lived in the United States for a decade now in cities like Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, Palm Springs and Indianapolis and have seen the vast array of ignorance and hatred come in different forms and shapes. Call it superiority complex. Call it ignorance. Or call it what it is- "flat out stupid".
A comedian's job at times is to push the envelope and I'm all for a good laugh. The problem with Carolla's remarks is that it wasn't even funny nor did it come off as a joke. The guy was blatantly airing out his hate and dislike over a race with idiotic and ignorant blabber.
Maybe Carolla will get run over by a dump truck one of these days and he'd have to go through physical therapy and be confined in a hospital and maybe then he'd realize that there's more to the Philippines than Pacquiao and sex stores. What would happen to America if it weren't for the Filipino doctors, nurses and physical therapists that represent a huge population of it's health care system.
Perhaps Carolla is a die-hard Steve Perry fan and hates the fact that the band is enjoying renewed success after they tapped a Filipino in Arnel Pineda to be their lead guy.
Maybe it's that whole "oh they're taking our jobs thing" Carolla is worried about because if a tiny Filipino can take over a sport that used to be ruled by ring giants like Mike Tyson and Muhammad Ali, then a Fil-Am comedian like Jo Koy might take his job too. His radio show after all was cancelled by CBS and you don't ever see his mug on TV anymore except for re-runs of that time he was riding Jimmy Kimmel's popularity.
And if the guy really wants to ridicule the Philippines because Pacquiao is running for congress, all I can say is that it comes with democracy. If the Terminator is now The Governator, I mean, governor of the state Carolla himself resides in, why can't Pacquiao be a congressman in a province back in the Philippines? O yeah, didn't Pacquiao lose the first time he ran for a political seat a couple of years back? If the Philippines was all about Pacquiao, how did that happen? Allow me to share a word in the Tagalog dictionary that describes Carolla's bold rants: "KATANGAHAN". In English, Google it.
What Carolla's statements prove is that there are simply a lot of idiots in the world who are not ashamed to air their idiotic views about life and against other races in public. I'm not really all that worried about it nor will I allow myself to be offended and dragged down by a clown. Ignorance exists at all levels.
An apology to the Filipino people in my opinion is not needed. It's like asking for a dog to apologize to you if he poops on the ground. The guy is ignorant. What can you expect?
Also, the guy is on PODcast now after getting sacked by CBS. Its known in the internet world that Pacquiao is one of the most popular figures in the world and generates a ton of web hits and attention- something Carolla's struggling career desperately needs.
Besides, Filipinos are fun-loving, positive people. This is offensive stuff indeed, but just ask foreigners who have experienced Filipino Hospitality and they'll attest to the kindness and good hearted nature Filipinos possess. As they say, sticks and stones-- on top of poverty, natural disasters and all other kinds of struggles-- might break our bones (not our will), but words from a loser will never hurt us.
Adam Carolla simply gave a name and a face to the idiocies that do exist in America. What KKK was to African-Americans is now embodied by one man to Filipinos. And it's quite comical that people keep writing me and spelling his name Corolla. I don't know if it's because nobody really knew this guy before this rant of his or whether it's because we Filipinos just love our Toyotas that much (now that's a joke, you can laugh now).

was it him being racist or is he just race baiting?
I am not familiar with Carolla's other rants to know the distinction.
I can agree with Dennis that it is more out of ignorance and stupidity than hate. Ignorance and stupidity, we can let pass, but if it was based on hate, that's a different matter altogether. He needs to seek help for that.
As for the Corolla/Carolla misnomer.. that is funny.. both are in trouble for not being able to stop when they needed to.
insanity,ignorance,insecurity,(KSP)'kulang sa pansin'is all i can say 'bout this moronic 'adam'who?
VERY VERY NICE ARTICLE MAN! carolla is one racist son of a b*tch!
F*** CAROLLA! Sorry piece of $H!T dumba__! I'd like to see him say that to a Filipinos' face, see what happens to his dorky atheist a__! LOL, F*** him!
Inform me if he will visits the Philippines, i will torture him and kill him for free. Not even a Dime!
The guy is a has been idiot, what's to expect? leave him to mire in his own idiocy...
I was angry but after reading this article I feel fine. Thanks bro! :)
COROLLA GUY? He must hate Jimmey Kimmel very much, he is so envy that Jimmy is love by Filipinos and he is out of the picture. He must be suffering from ATTENTION DISORDER, because his carrer is going down. Bad thing is, he is so stupid like Floyd, that he doesn't realized that this kind of racist and stupid attitude will only worsen his carrer. Comparing America to the Philippines? What a DUMB guy, Pacman illitirate? Who's illitirate now? Carolla, Just watch out who's sticking needles in you when you go to a health clinic or a hospital in the US.
Riding on Manny's popularity by racist low-blow remarks, and worse included the whole nation is a big no-no Mr. Corolla. I know you as a has-been comedian years ago on Saturday Night Live. You want to revived your career at the expensense of Manny fine but you included a whole country Philipines and now your f***king with 85 million people on it. Don't mess with us Corolla, you better watch your back from now on!!!
I do'nt give a damn to this man,any way he will just implode.
Hey, what's the big deal? The guy is a comedian. Everything he says is a joke. Nobody takes his jokes seriously. C'mon, the more we react the more he'll make jokes. That's the business of being a comedian. So, if we ignore him then probably he'll be out of business. Just like the Mayweathers, let them talk their hearts out until one day they realize no one is listening. :)
carolla knows nothing about the philippines and his own country either. absolutely he is idiot and ignorant!
My only problem with this article is your stab at atheists. You sure as hell don't want to get me started about make belief gods, cause that's exactly what they are.
this is a case of an arrogant, ignorant ranter...the education rate in the Philippines is high, if he ridicules Pacquiao, watch how he writes, watch his penmanship he writes better than corolla.. his name doesn't even sound american(corolla??)... talking about sex stores, walk around your 7th avenue...sweep your perimeter before you ridicule other races...Philippines doesn't build around Pacquiao, he even has a hard time winning elections...Its the reason we are not communists... if we were, you can never step into our country..Your old folks will not survive if not for the filipinos, you don't care about your forefathers or parents, you leave them to rot in homecare units and for the poorer ones they die on the streets... so, clean your mouth and perimeter before you ridicule others.. and by the way many silent filipinos are sword and stickmasters rather than boxers, don't ever come here or you will go home a corned beef...
maybe in the future he'll have a filipino son-in-law
Dont worry Jimmy Kimmel will bitch slap that Caveman!Lol!
You're right D. We don't want and need an apology from this unknown idiot...
Such a waste of time.
Who's this guy again?...
Uh, never mind...
Leave Adam Carolla alone. He was an abused child. He's now showing the effects of being violated when he was a kid.
the guys is a real idiot and ignorant of Filipino cuture. This is a classic example why mass shooting and terrorism exist in the USA and why americans are hated all over the world. They have developed so many things that make them sophisticated but this issue is a blatant attack against the Filipino race and its totally acceptable. This ignorant guy is planting hate and descrimination and america will soon harvest it in the form of violence and terrorism. This guy should be dleted
Americans have superiority complex and they are afraid that nations all over the world have evolved into a developed economy and they are lossing grip of being the superior. The little fella from the Philippines is the only 7 division champion thus far and he had proved it to the world that he's a superior athlete againsttraditional white, latinos and dominat blacks. Media is not yet ready to embrace a little fella as the superior one. Id like to seeadam on top of the ring with the pacman this time using fist to settle the issue not microphone
oh yeah... what if the the #1 lb 4 lb happens to be the one in Vietnam? or Taiwan? Is he going to say "sex tours?" I bet. This guy is desperately need of money/public figure AND the easier way to make money is not sex tour but bring up the name of Manny and the entire Filipino. Well, guess what Corolla... you're the PUBLIC ENEMY #1 RIGHT NOW! ANYWHERE! watch out with your family!
go ahead... WORSHIP YOUR MOST INMCOMPETENT AND SADISTIC (WHITE) GOD then, brainwash us...b'coz we are stupid and gullible people of NON white race!
carolla is just another crackhead who needs attention.
Corollas problem is he keeps on losing his job so he bloody revs up his white ignorance about Pinas!! Sex tours?? O yeah I've heard of this but most of the tourists are white limping rusty sex maniacs from Corollas country!! This Corolla is ignorant about Pinas!! He might not even know where in hell is Lapland!! Corolla ,it is not a part of Pinas this particular place!! Ignoramus pendejo!! Vete al carajo!!
(Toyota)Adam Corolla is on uncontrolled surge. Since he is not equipped with an electronic control system, it's obvious there is something wrong with his brain. One ugly side of American culture is that stupid people (masquerading as comedians) can make money by ridiculing other people and this Corolla embodies that ugly side. You're right. There's no point in asking apology from him. But you're wrong also. Because my dog exhibits more human qualities that this jerk Corolla.
one of these days someone with a chinky eye and brown skin will smack the hell out of him and he will not know what hit him.those skinny legsof his are goot target practice for a paddle.
AMEN
here's another corolla that looses its brakes...he needs a recall!!! or just dump it!!!
Too bad for Adam, illiterate Manny Pacquiao is richer than him.
he does radio for a reason!!! LOOK AT THE GUY! Jimmy Kimmel was the more presentable one and he's waaaaaaaaay more popular!!! he's just mad and jealous, because his boy got the national spot light and did way more airtime!!! the only air time this retard got is his radio and in his pants!!!
Who believes in Adam Carolla? He looks like a dickhead ! Nothing inside that head. His rants are empty, a great display of stupidity! He tries to be funny but what's really funny is his being a nincompoop!
It ok Mr. Crayola, do your thing! Filipinos don't get mad anyway...THEY GET EVEN!!!!!Watch your doorstep, watch your back, just be careful especially with asian people..they might do something you don't like and your reaction maybe too late..who knows.
Looks like Adam Carolla has gone to so many sex tours in his mind that he forgot to feed his empty brain with the right education and the meaning of social responsibility. What a shame to expose himself with – borderline retardation! Incredible!
Toyota corolla should be recall..
I’m surprised that Adam Carolla is so engrossed living in a tiny world of his own mind that he cannot see outside realities which don’t require much intelligence beyond average to perceive.
To say that any country would vote for someone based on a singular achievement, which, in this case, is boxing, is utterly nonsense.
For the sake of Adam Corolla, I will point this out what normal people already know:
Pacquiao’s popularity is beyond the sport. It is not hard to see that. Pacquiao is the exact opposite of the materially forever-hungry Filipino politicians who gained wealth after being elected. Even former president Cory Aquino, who knew nothing about politics, was a typical housewife. Her demise was the entire nation’s loss.
Adam Carolla, could please be credible and responsible enough to use your chosen medium not to mislead and, consequently, mis-educate your patronizers? I doubt if you’d gain more/be able to maintain patronage with your UNEDUCATED tirade. Good luck.
People like Carolla sows hatred and venom in the name of fun without a hint of being funny.Might be because of feeling superior or racism.My only advise is look at yourself first,are you sinless,are you the best,are you a genius,or are you the richest.If none of this what gives you the right to pass judgement on the Filipino or Asian race.I hope you'll be judged the way you did.
He is now a straight-up 'jackhole' in my book. It baffles me how someone can make such ignorant and fallacious claims. The sad thing is, many people will eat this up. AC clearly shows that he has a doorknob for a brain...
Calling all Filipinos around the world(all 100 million strong and counting), let's teach this dickhead a lessons!
i think corolla needs a sex transplant, i think he is a gay! he-he-he
SMASH THIS GUYS FACE!!! FILIPINOS ATTACK!!
I want to run over this Crayola with my Toyota truck. If apprehended I would just say it's another Toyota brake malfunction...or... nothing serious I'm a comedian and my intention was just a JOKE!
fck!!! you wanna know what filipinos made of??!!! any info guys about this morons whereabouts??
i wanna destroy this guys future and let him hate filipinos for the rest of his fckn life!!!
“Get a fu**in life as a country” - Adam Carolla

May your God bless you, if you even have one.

Maybe one of the reasons why he was sacked by CBS is that this guy ADAM CAROLLA is uneducated and a RACIST. Good job CBS.
