I call it being politically incorrect, considering that he really doesn't spare anyone in his jokes, besides, who HASN'T told some of those kinds of jokes before?

We all know that only white people are racist.

[Sentinel XIV]

A Mexican, a black guy, and a white guy are walking along a beach when the Mexican notices a lamp laying in the sand. He picks it up and brushes off the leftover sand. With a puff of smoke, a genie appears.

GENIE: "I shall grant you all one wish."

MEXICAN: "I wish for all of my Latino brothers and sisters in America to be rich and free back in Mexico."

The genie nods his head, and the Mexican disappears.

BLACK GUY: "I wish for all of my African brothers and sisters in America to be rich and free back in Africa."

The genie nods his head, and the black guy disappears.

GENIE: "And you, white boy?"

WHITE GUY: "You mean to tell me all of the blacks and Mexicans are out of America?"

The genie nods his head.

WHITE GUY: "Then... I wish for a Coke."

It'd be OK if it was funny. Like with Dane Cook. If only they had an ounce of fucking talent.

[static_ice]

How many fucking threads has this guy made in the past few days?

On topic: I don't know about Mencia but he's better than the idiot has-been George Lopez, and Gabriel Iglesias beats them both combined.

Racist White Boy!

Everyone's a little bit racist! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO-tobS1nl0

I used to like Carlos Mencia before I saw this video...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDmaG1-H25M

I really can't support a guy like that. He steals jokes and that's not okay with me.

As for the topic, in my opinion, he's very rascist, but he's allowed to be because he's a minority. If I (a white guy) told all those jokes, I would get my ass kicked. But I have no problem with his rascism.

[Alex Youngren]

holy shit dude i just watched that video........ i still think he's funny

[silvanricky]

I don't know if the guy is a racist but I do know that Joe Rogan tore him a new one on-stage in front of the crowd. Mencia does steal some of his stuff from other comedians.

We all know that only white people are racist.

Which is a load of bullcrap. Simple as that.

Any clever retorts? No? GOOD!

Keep it that way.

Carlos Mencia is not a comedian at all, but in actuality a giant douche-bag. For those interested in learning more about douche-bags, head over to your local library and ask a friendly librarian.

Jimmy Kimmel, at the Roast of Flava Flav: “This roast is environmentally conscious. It’s Comedy Central’s first carbon neutral television show. Hey listen, Comedy Central, if you wanna stop polluting the atmosphere, cancel Mind of Mencia…Thank you.”

I think tubaman already posted this, but here it is anyway:

Mencia is a hack.

Don't care. If people don't like him, don't watch him, simple as that.

dude, come on. the author deserves the credit. if Mencia is making a fortune and fame off the material of someone else, WITHOUT compensating them, then it is a big deal.

i first saw that video last year sometime... probably soon after it was posted online.

the truth is, comedians do steal from each other all the time, but there's almost always a give and take involved. Mencia doesn't give anything in return for what he steals, and so the work-a-day comics start to hate him.

hasn't his show been canceled? i think the backlash from this video brought down Mencia, but i could be wrong.

[muy_thaiguy]

Never said it wasn't a big deal, all I said was that I didn't care and that if people didn't like him, to not watch his show, that's all.

Dunno if MOM has been cancelled (my faith in God may rest upon that eventuality) (not really) but I saw some promo on Comedy Central for some new sort of Mencia-related drivel.

And. MTG, I'd like to disagree with you on the whole "ignore him" strategy. If he's dumbing down comedy and pandering to his audience (a la Larry the Cable Guy, to suggest another absolutely unfunny comedian) he won't get run out, because people will pay for that, and damage the overall world of comedy. Think about it - Mencia holds a prime spot on basic cable. He is effectively given a soapbox by Viacom to spout damaging ethnic stereotypes with just a patina of comedy to make it palatable. While I generally agree that art is art and should not be tampered with, that's not what I think makes sense here, as Mencia isn't art as much as an exercise in branding. The brand being taking advantage of the basic human desire to laugh at others for being different. Is this an elitist opinion? Probably. I feel like giving money to pandering comedians takes money away from smart, innovative ones. Which is where the real comedy is.

Well, I haven't watched his show in a couple of years because they kept screwing around with the time slot, but if I remember correctly, Mencia himself said on his show that he was going to do his best to give out those stereotypes, and not just anyone ethnic race or religion, but everyone. Thereby giving fair warning.

Also, I kind of like Larry the Cable Guy personally, but that's just me.

[reminisco]

Mencia only got his show due to Comedy Central attempting to fill the Chappelle sized hole in their programming.

and the only good thing Mencia did was remind us all of just how brilliant Chappelle is, by watching how shitty Mencia is.

Keep it that way.

I'm just saying. Example:

Man 1: Brown pride!

Crowd: Yes! he is showing pride in his race.

Man 2: Black Power!

Crowd: They used to be slaves so its cool!

Man 3: White Power!

Crowd: WTF?! Get The Racist Honky!
