Thread: Mind Of Mencia

  1. #1

    Default Mind Of Mencia

    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

    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.

    Yes, I know that there are stupid people out there. In my opinion, it is a bad idea to insult your audience by assuming they are stupid and treating them as though they were.

    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.

    The guy sucks as far as making me laugh goes...I'll stick with Dave Chappelle.

    I saw the show a few times and had one or two laughs out of it. However, I never really got into because it was trying just a little to hard to copy Chappelle's Show...then I just quit watching.

    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.

    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.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    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.
