I loooooove Carlos Mencia's new show on Comedy Central....he's freakin' hilarious! His show is smi-political, he's defiantly anti- politically correct and offends as many people as possible. God, he's hilarious.

"You screw up big tiiiime!! We went over there drop thousands bomb, come back we was like 'who da man, we da man'. But then they come over here. They don't drop a thousand bomb. They don't drop hundred bomb. They don't even drop ten bomb. They drop two bomb"

He's okay. I liked his Comedy Central Presents episode. I don't watch his new show much.

He's pretty funny, but that joke you quoted wasn't originally said by him, I think. I may be wrong, though.

It was from his Comedy central presents performance.

It feels like Comedy Central is trying to reproduce the success of the Chapelle Show.

He's awesome. especially when he went to West Hollywood (his weho guide was hot!).. he said "I like everything about you guys except the butt hurting thing". LOL

Ahh, thank you.

Ugh. I was never really fond of that show. Some of the comedians they have are great..others..not so much.

Yeah, it's pretty much a latino version of Dave chapelle.

IMO, Mencia > Chapelle. Chapelle got old, quickly.

I never got into Chapelle. There were a few things on his show I thought was funny, though.

I've always kind of thought that Chappelle had a few brilliant sketches, and a lot of crap. Mencia's best stuff so far doesn't seem as good as Dave's best stuff, but his worst stuff doesn't seem as bad, either - Carlos is CONSISTANTLY funny.

Plus, Carlos is friends with Opie and Anthony, which gives him extra points in my book.

Chappelle's show is done... cancelled! :( Mind of Mencia rocks though. The yoga made me crack up.

Yeah, that bit was great :D

I want him to offend me, now.....

He is really cool about it.. and seems like a pretty accepting guy.. god, that guide was so hot. I couldn't take my eyes off him lol..

I like how Carlos Mencia is willing to say what other people won't and make it humourous. There have been a few things he's said I disagree with, however.

TV needs people like Carlos Mencia who aren't afraid to say what it is on their mind.

Don't like him. Sometimes he's funny, but he's a bigot, a jingoist a cultural imperialist and a fierce nationalist.

Although I tried watching his show, I quit when I saw a preview for a show where it appeared he chased a homeless/poor/unemployed man around on the streets with a bullhorn demanding he get a job. Well actually that was the proverbial straw, 'cause I was gonna drop it eventually. I just won't enhance the ratings of someone like that.

Plus his show wasn't really that funny anyways. Race jokes and insulting foreigners only goes so far.

Uhh....he's not a bigot at all...he offends everyone, not just foreigners, nd most of the time, he's kidding. Loving one's country is not a crime, nor is it a reason to dislike someone.

And, honestly (even though that scene was dramatisized), why shouldn't the homeless guy get a job?

Wow, how sour of you. He's great because he just speaks the truth and he speaks his mind.

He's not a bigot.. he attacks everyone equally.

He's a very funny guy.

One reason I don't watch Mencia's show is too many racial jokes gets annoying. I believe that is why I didn't watch Chapelle's show.

I think Mencia likes to offend everybody. It's his thing.

Mencia is funnnnnny! :D

He just points out the explicitly obvious in our culture and society. He plays on stereotypes and makes them funny instead of offensive.

chased a homeless/poor/unemployed man around on the streets with a bullhorn demanding he get a job.

I wasn't happy about that either. That was just fucking mean.


Mencia is an okay comedian, I disagree with him on several things, but I applaud him for having the guts to speak his mind.

The only positive thing about stereotypes is that they're good to make fun of.

Aww, it was just a little sliver of a segment he did on getting random people (People who were walking around the streets, shopping, etc.) who admitted that they were unemployed and he got on their case.

Heheheh, he made this white guy who was in his 20's, clean shaven and everything, sell oranges on the street.

He says whats going on in most peoples mind. Somebody had to say it. :headbang:

If you use them the right way.

Saying "All Asians look the same" isn't funny at all.
Saying "All asians look the same and we can't solve the goddamn case because this asian's face looks like every other asian's face and we're not able to solve this problem!" in a parody of CSI IS funny.

He was also wondering why people are out on a weekday at 11:00 am.

Wow. People are sensitive. The guy is poking fun at the human race. He's poking at everybody. Can't deal with a little political incorrectness? Sheesh...

Hahahaha...same with the redneck one.

Granted, I know and live with rednecks. Still funny.

Note: You do not have the right not to be offended. Freedom of speech means freedom of speech for everyone.

He cant make fun of me. I'm mixed. HOO HA! :D

An entire channel for political incorrectness would be an interesting experiment.

Wait, nevermind. I'm sure he'll find a way to make fun of me. :eek:

He cant make fun of me. I'm mixed. HOO HA! :D
I'm mixed too. I'm just made fun of twice as much as everyone else. :(

But I take it half as much as everyone else!


AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And, honestly (even though that scene was dramatisized), why shouldn't the homeless guy get a job?

I don't mean racially. He's a bigot when it comes to american vs. the rest of the world. He is also bigoted when he talks about people he considers stupid. He's actually a dumb fuck for calling a pager, Nintendo 64(good times good times) and a fax machine outdated, useless technology.

And I do consider extreme nationalists to be distasteful individuals that I choose not to associate myself with. I'm not talking about just appreciating the good in your country, but the people who will stand up, perhaps on a stage, claiming that America is the best nation on earth, who think that the world needs *more* McCulture, and who say that we shouldn't feel sorry for people in other countries, because after all they can come here!

Even if the homeless scene was dramatised, that was still a straw for me, because of the message.

On Homelessness - I'd invite you to tatter your clothes, sleep on a bench for a few weeks without a bath or personal hygenie products, then go try and find a job. And it would be easier for you than the majority of homeless, because you wouldn't have an addiction or mental disease(a majority suffer from one or both conditions). You'll understand why shouting at homeless people to get a job isn't helping, because no one will hire the guy with sticks in his hair who smells like dog feces, who doesn't own a car or residence, and who may have a mental disturbance, period.

Though if he *could* get a job, he should, of course.

Its on for me right now. *watches intently*

Lighten up. He's not a bigot. If anything, i think you are too wrapped in political correctness BS. He's not a nationalist. He's pretty smart. He's just being funny.

He's on right now. More truth and honesty.

"Be fat and happy or lose weight"

Ha!!!!

I want to see you and Carlos Mencia in a debate. The results would be most interesting.

"I don't know how I got fat" LOL

Fucking funny. :D

"Be fat and happy or lose weight"


I agree with him on that. There is no use complaining. You have to either do something about it or be happy with it.

It'd be over in three seconds

Carlos: If you don't like me, why are you showing interest in me by bothering to undermine what I do?


It's pretty much true for everything, really.

He's now talking about stupid people... lovely... :) This world is full of them

"There's the ice cream truck! *sob*"

...

:D

"You put more in this hole(mouth) than what came out of this hole(butt)" :D

That's the damn truth about airplane seats.. I had to sit next to a fat guy... he's right.

He's now talking about stupid people... lovely... :) This world is full of them

Every human is stupid to some degree. Humanity may be more technological advanced than the other species on Earth, but we're still pretty damn stupid.

Elevator!

"You weren't born sick, you ate sick"

Ahhhhhh! ha!!!!!! :p :p :p

Elevator!
HURRY! PRESS THE TRIANGLES THAT ARE COMING TOGETHER! TRIANGLES TRIANGLES TRIANGLES! *look of horror on face at guy on 4th floor*

Three 600 pound people would cut it close to breaking the elevator. :cool:

He's brilliant...

Scratch that, the truth is the wouldnt fit in the stinkin elevator.

I love his racial jokes.. he's going on the street now..

Method Man!

Wetback Is Available.

Harry Puto and the spoiled burrito..

I don't approve of Political correctness in general. That's not why I object to him. I've said why - I disagree with what he stands for. And rewatch his special, his first episode and his second episode. He is indeed a fierce nationalist, or an extremely high quality actor who can fool everyone.

I hate to fulfil Godwin's law but....

Hitler - If you don't like me, why are you showing interest in me by bothering to undermine what I do?

FDR, Stalin, Churchill, De Gaulle - Damn... our bad. Carry on, carry on.

I know it's a bad, bad example and has little to do with Mencia, but the idea that we should just put our fingers in our ears and go na na na na na when something comes up that we object to/don't like, is just silly. If we feel strongly about something/someone, chances are there's a reason, and it's good to air reasonable concerns, especially in a thread specifically on the subject.

Once again don't bother posting that I used a horrible example. I know and am admitting that. I'm talking about his arguement that his mock response by Carlos is true for anything.

Unfortunately I've brought undue seriousness to a thread that was never intended to be very serious. I'm tired anyway, so I'll bow out. I've said my peace anyways, so carry on, carry on.

:confused:

That IS a TERRIBLE comparison! :eek:

You just have sour grapes. He is not a fierce nationalist. He's just politically incorrect but right about so many damn things. And he encourages me to speak my mind more openly (maybe not that openly.. I dont' want to end up in the ER).

He's actually a dumb fuck for calling a pager, Nintendo 64(good times good times) and a fax machine outdated, useless technology.

The pager is a pointless waste of money and technology, when you have a cel phone with voice-mail and text messaging which can do exactly the same thing, and far more, for nearly the same cost.

The fax machine IS nearly outdated - you can send documents online and print them to hardcopy just as easily as you can fax. The only reason ANYONE still faxes is because many businesses are too cheap, too lazy, or too set in their ways to upgrade.

The N64 IS outdated technology - they haven't made a new game for it in years, there weren't that many good games on it in the first place, and most of the good games that WERE on it can be acquired either online in ROM format, or when the Revolution is released, with it's ROM-emulating mode.

In this case, I'd hardly say he's a "dumb fuck" for suggesting what is true.


And I do consider extreme nationalists to be distasteful individuals that I choose not to associate myself with. I'm not talking about just appreciating the good in your country, but the people who will stand up, perhaps on a stage, claiming that America is the best nation on earth, who think that the world needs *more* McCulture, and who say that we shouldn't feel sorry for people in other countries, because after all they can come here!

In his various specials and stand-ups, he suggested that America has the most powerful military in the world - which is true. He suggested that America has the most powerful economy in the world - which is also true (even if the EU is serious competition now, and the US dollar has grown weaker as of late). And he's suggested that a large number of people immigrate to the US (either legally or illegally) each year, to escape miserable conditions in their home countries, or to try and achieve a better life - which is also true.

At no point that I am aware of has he ever suggested we should basically turn Europe, Asia, and Africa into "America East", nor has he ever suggested that everyone who isn't American is vastly inferior. If anything, he tends to praise America while NOT denigrating the rest of the world - keeping in mind that NOT expressly praising all the good things about other countries is not the same as insulting them... that's the sort of BS philosophy that led to political-correctness in the first place (we have to praise everyone equally, because otherwise, someone will have their feelings hurt!).


Even if the homeless scene was dramatised, that was still a straw for me, because of the message.

I'll assume you didn't watch the show, and judged entirely from the commercial. The majority of people he talked to WEREN'T NYC homeless people, sleeping on benches and mumbling to themselves about how the CIA put transmitters into their head to monitor their thoughts. These were the sorts of people who, while fully capable of getting jobs, CHOOSE not to. The sort of person who abuses the loopholes in the welfare system to collect government money that they DON'T NEED.

If I remember correctly, the very person he was shouting at through the bullhorn, when asked why he didn't have a job, just sort of shrugged and mumbled that there really weren't any jobs out there - which is bullshit. It would be more honest to say there aren't any jobs that he was willing to lower himself enough to DO. And one of the other people he spoke to basically said he just didn't feel like working. THAT is not the sort of homeless that deserve pity - that's the sort of unemployed that deserve the EXACT amount of scorn that they received.
