Have you guys ever watched Mind Of Mencia on Comedy Central? I like the joke that Carlos told in the Why The F#@$ Is This News!? segment which was about Emus. He said..."Wait! Wait! Stop the tape! Did you hear how many people are chasing a bird!? It's a bird it can't fly! Why don't you tell all the black people that a chicken is on the loose and two minutes later we'll have a bucket of big-ass wings!"LOL:D
He bugs me. I just can't stand how he'll often assume you didn't get his joke and then explain it you.
I'll only watch it because it's on after South Park and sometimes I leave the TV on. But yeah, generally he isn't remotely funny. Other people have done it way better.
Humor for obnixious unwitty 8th graders. I can insult mexicans funnier than he can.
No offense but...stupid people do exist and they are out there, I mean there was a student I knew in high school who willingly voted for George W. Bush on the 2004 election year two years ago. And when Hurricane Katrina wiped out New Orleans last year there was actually some people just standing there with cameras taking pictures of the wave. And in the aftermath of Katrina there were still some people in New Orleans that refused to leave their homes.Quote:

I have never seen a comedian that felt the need to explain his jokes as much as this guy.
An example: the other day he was telling a joke about how it seems that all the new medications have more side effects than it is worth. He used the word "ailment" and then decided that his audience wouldn't know what that word meant. It's annoying.
However, I only ever watch this show for similar reasons as Yamaneko. I often have the tv on that channel anyway.
I somewhat like the show, the whole racism jokes are overused though.
Ditto. And the fact that he laughs at his all of his own jokes is equally irratating.Quote:

Yeah, Dave Chapelle says some racist stuff sometimes, but it's mostly against his own race and does it in a way that's actually funny. He does it just to mock the fact that racism is so stupid. But Mencia is not only not funny he mocks ALL races and does so just to get a reaction. He undermines the audience continuously and actually thinks his stuff is funny and edgy. So yeah, I'm sticking with Dave Chapelle as well.Quote:

I love Mencia. Sure all his joke may not be the most originall, but I still think his delivery of them is awsome. And explaining his joikes usually is part of the joke. Though yes, I can see how someone wouldn' like him for this. However he's got nothing on Lewis black.
Eh. I don't ever watch it. I never liked Chapelle's show either.
Another joke that I like is when Carlos is talking to a black girl and he said..."How come you all don't shut the f#@$ up at the movie theater?"
I agree with everything that everyone who dislikes him has said. I can't stand the guy. He's so loud and obnoxious and in your face. I can usually watch any comedian and not be annoyed, but Carlos Mencia is special.
Penguin if you can insult Mexicans funnier than Carlos can could you write a Mexican joke for me? I'd like to see it.Quote:

Thats the Live in san Jose one, good fun that DVD is.
I like that one hour show Carlos did on Comedy Central the other day it was called "No Strings Attached."
I heard that Carlos Mencia is a much better comedian at live shows than he is on the television show. I tend to watch the show occasionally since the channel is already turned to Comedy Central and it frequently appears on the lineup.
i bet FSP can't think of a better way to insult mexicans because carlos's father is mexican and i bet that he knows what really ticks them off.
MIND OF MENCIA IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOWS EVER CREATED AND I DON'T GIVE AWHO SAYS OTHERWISE.
^_^; And now that I appeased myself, I will slip back into my humble self...
I like it, but I don't like the fact he says "Beaner"
By him saying that so much, it seems all right for any other people to say it >:I
Even people not hispanic see it all right to say it to someone hispanic.
I just want to say it is very offensive to me and I don't like it at all >:
You know, thats weird cuz where I live all the mexicans call us crackers and we call them beaners...its been like that all my life. But it is offensive in a way...if I wasn't here in this place, I wouldnt call them that but...I dont think its offensive if they dont.Quote:

I watched the premier episode, which contained all his jokes that he then remixed and spun again, and then I never had watch another episode again. But it was good for that one half hour.
Has anybody here bought the Mind Of Mencia Season 1 Uncensored DVD?
I think his act is cute, but annoying for the reasons others have said. I prefer Dave Chapelle, Imo. :cat:
Mencia's jokes are predictable and have been done a thousand times before, by much better comedians. I can't understand why his show is still on the air.
I like Carlos Mencia. I think he's funny. As for the racist jokes. At least he makes them about everyone. Not just a certain group. I've seen worse and I'm sure I've seen better. He makes me laugh and that's all I care about. ^_^
I also like this joke Carlos did half-way through Season 1 on a segment called "Mencia's Real Reviews" it was about the third Star Wars movie of the second Trilogy he said..."Next up is Star Wars : Episode III. Whenever a new Star Wars comes out people say 'It's not as good as the old ones!' Hey jackass! You think the old ones are better because you saw them when you were ten. Everything was better when you were ten you didn't have to work,your mom fed you, and pop stars invited you over to use their amusement park. And by the way another thing stop whining, that parts in a movie are unrealistic it's a smurfing movie! Let me get it straight...Lightsabers that's okay,Jedi mind trick that's okay, a dude that looks like a dog and goes 'RAAHHAAHA' that's okay...But Jar-Jar Binks with a Jamaican accent ohhh that's when they went too far!"
