Offensive or Funny?

Carlos mencia just finished up his 2nd season on Comady Central, one of his biggest hits being THIS song:

"Spoken:
Dee de dee, doesn’t mean mentally retarded. It means stupid. This song goes out to all the stupid people out there, you’re gonna find this song hilarious, and you don’t even know…it’s about you.

[Verse 1]
You dropped out of school cause you’re smarter than everybody
I got three words for you dumbass, “Ding, fries ready”
You try to outrun a bull, but nobody’s that fast
That’s how you end up, with a horn stuck up your ass
Roethlisberger needs no helmet cause he’s a star
But the year the bus left, he got hit by a car
You wanna go huntin’ for quail someplace
Don’t go with Cheney, he’ll put a fuckin shot in your face
If you bungee jump so you can fly through the air
I ain’t upset you ended up in that wheelchair
You ignore all the warnings, yeah you light up a smoke
Now you have to talk with a machine through your throat

[Chorus]
How many idiots can there be?
Some say that it’s 1 out of 3
If you don’t know then take it from me
You’re the dee dee dee

(spoken) you you you
dee dee dee

And if you are a Dee
Please don’t marry a Dee
Cause then your kids will be (what? what?)
Dee dee dee

(spoken) dee dee dee

[Verse 2]
You cry about the price of gas and war in Iraq
But you voted Bush in twice what were you smokin, crack?
Didn’t get a prenup, though you knew she was a skank
Now you’ve got herpes and she’s got half your bank
You were on top of the world with “Hit Me Baby One More Time”
Only a stupid bitch would marry Kevin Federline
You drink and drive and you think it’s okay
Now you’re cell mate’s weavin in and out the “hershey highway”
When you put tigers on your show and they can’t be free
They’ll bite your neck off and then you’ll say (chokingly) “dee dee dee” (cough)

[Chorus]
How many idiots can there be?
Some say that it’s 1 out of 3
If you don’t know then take it from me
You’re the dee dee dee

(spoken) you you you
Dee dee dee

And if you are a Dee
Please don’t marry a Dee
It’s genetics don’t you see?
Your kids will be dee dee dee

(spoken)
That’s what they’re gonna be: DEE DEE DEE!!!

[Verse 3]
Parents are to blame for all these dee dee dee’s
Letting their kids drop out and not get GED’s
You keep your kids inside cause there’s freaks on the loose
But yet you let them drink from Michael Jackson’s “Jesus Juice”?
You don’t care when your kids come home with D’s from class
What you need to do is get some balls and beat that ass
He isn’t stupid, you say he’s got A.D.D.
It’s that his mom and his dad are both dee dee dee!

[Bridge]
This test is too hard! (So they lower the standards)
I’m not good at sports! (So they give them all trophies)
My dad used to spank me (So they lower the standards)
I’m too fat for this seat (So they widen the standards)
They say no cause I’m black (So they lower the standards)
They say no cause I’m white (So they lower the standards)
They say no cause I’m Asian (So they lower the standards)
No habla Englais (So we all become Spaniards)
And you wake up one day and you don’t have the skills
To get a better job so you’re stuck on the grill
You’re wondering why Julio took your job
But you forget to see, you’re as dumb as a knob
Your ass is too fat to get out of the house
While you’re eating more food trying to figure it out
So they outsource your job to some guy named Habib
Cause he works harder than you and he’s got 5 degrees
And you’re asking yourself how could this happen to me
I’ll tell you why, homie! Cause you’re….dee dee dee

Dee dee dee
Dee dee dee"

So, does the forum think he is offensive or funny?

Not offensive, but not neccessarily funny either.

Carlos Mencia is one of the funniest men alive! I have several of his CDs and plan to buy more. :D

How is this offensive?
"I am a stupid person and I object!"

I was referring to Mencia in general.

Generally speaking, Carlos Mencia makes a living out of finding the line between funny and offensive and dancing on it. I approve. :)

Mm. I disagree with his enforcement of child abuse. It works in Mexico when you have so many kids that you have to beat them instead of understanding them, but up here in the land of birth control, it's best to be more rational.

Personaly it was funny ... not the best stuff I have ever heard (nor the most offensive ... I love stephan lynch) But I dont really find this overly offensive

The whole point of this thing was to show that people are idiots ... its not making fun of thoes that are helpless like the mentaly handi capped it is making fun of thoes that have the ability but waste it

I don't really find it funny, but it's his right to express himself.

The song is meh...I know I'm not offended, and I also know I'm not laughing.

As for Mencia, I don't find him particularly funny...overly bombastic and irritating perhaps, but not funny.

Offensive is funny. Take anything offensive, put it in the right context, and it's funny.

I find it very hard to get offended by a comic.

Pfft...as if that's bad enough.

After returning back to East L.A. he graduated high school and attended Cal State L.A. where he majored in electronic engineering.

He eventually left school to pursue a career in comedy one credit shy of his degree.

You're one credit shy, and you quit to become a comic?

Nice that it worked out for ya...but you're still a fucking idiot for not finishing that degree.

One credit! :headbang:

I hate Carlos Mencia. I'm not going to call him offensive, or funny because either one of those things would only be complimenting him. He's based his career off of cliche rascist humor, and self-indulgent bullshit. He's a douche bag, and he wishes he were Dave Chappelle.

Not offensive, definitely not funny.

Funny at times, offensive only if you're a over-sensitive type, stupid at other times.

he is a comedian, you know I used to tell people when I did stand up comedy that if something I said offended them it was more their problem than mine.

are people stupid? yep.

does he see that? yep.

does he make money off of it? yep.

so how is he wrong again?

That whole song made for a better rant than a comedy routine...the only thing I can picture funny about it is having him conduct a kids' choir in singing it...

I'd have loved to see you do stand up Smunk.

Carlos can be funny, but he cant touch Dave Chappell or Robert Schimmel. They are funnier than Carlos could ever hope to be.

more than funny, sadly true!

I really cant stand that guy, his stuff is almost always offencive and not funny.

That being said, that song is in fact, very funny and not offensive.

I can't stomach Mencia, mostly because he's always making really dumb Mexican jokes. He's not Mexican.

I'm glad we have humour over here.

I didnt find it either (offensive or funny), but I'm not neutral, I think it's kinda' sucky.

Maybe you just had to be there, but I think if I had've been, I'd have wanted my money back...:rolleyes:

Carlos Mencia tries to be offensive and funny. He fails at both.
