I hate this guy almost as much as I hate Robin Williams and Jimmy Fallon.
You should to. Here's why.

Yes Carlos Mencia sucks ***, and this is just more proof of it.
how can you hate Robin Willams?
How can you not???
I liked Carlos's stand up he did on comedy central a few years back, he has good material but on his show he is so ****ing annoying. I can't stand him. The thing I hate the most on his show is how he always acts like his comedy is so edgy and offensive when really its one of the lightest things on comedy central. I remember when his show first premiere and he was going on about that I just kept thinking of the last show that had his time spot, Drawn Together, probably the most offensive, disgusting, and vile cartoon I have ever seen on tv. Think about it, this is on the same channel as South Park and Chapelle (I'm pretty sure I spelt that wrong) Show, but his show gets the advertisement that say "you can't believe what he's gonna say next" What, so tame joke about imigration?
EXACTLY!
His entire act consists of something like this:
"...So then I said, Asian people can't drive!!!"
*15 minutes of Mencia telling you how shocked and offended you are at what he just said*
Dumbly pointing out stereotypes is idiotic and nothing close to shocking or edgy. If you're going to racial humor, make it something original and interesting or don't even bother.
from what i've seen of his show, it's just The Latino Chapelle show, since i can't stand Chapelle for more than 3 seconds you can imagine that i don't like Mencia either
if either "Chapelle's Show" or "The Mind of Mencia" were originally pitched with white host's it would have never been picked up and if it were it would have been cancelled within 3 episode's, but since these host's aren't white it's been deemed "okay" to have such blatant racist smut put out one television.
and i can see why, there is Black History Club's and Latino History Club's in Highschool's but when someone wants to start a White History Club there deemed as Racist or even Fascist (some members might remember the thread that talked about the girl in Michigan who wanted to do that).
Cramer (for the life of my i can't remember his real name) says the N-word and he become's National enemy #1, while Richard Pryor pretty much made his career off of the word "Honkey" and he's picked as the number one comedian of all time, I don't get it.
i blame the Gangster "Culture" (how can that be considered Culture?) that has taken place in North America for the last few decade's, if you wanna be a "Gangster" don't act like 50 cent, go act like the Italian Mobster's Atleast THEY have some ****ing Dignity.
plus there's the fact that neither Chapelle or Mencia are funny at all.
This Crap is the Social equivalent of affirmative action.
*meaningless rant over now i'm going to go play God of War 2 to calm down*
Wow. Where to begin...
Okay, first of all, racial humor is not "racist smut". Just because you're white doesn't mean that you need to feel burdened by history and need to react with rage and indignation every time someone mentions a stereotype. The crusade against racial prejudice does not rest squarely on your guilty shoulders.
Secondly, comedy does not have some sort of racial double standard. White comedians can make racial jokes, as long as it's in good taste. Have you ever seen Sarah Silverman's act? A pretty white girl who says the most offensive things you've ever heard. And it's great.
Racial humor is so important, it always has been. Richard Pryor used his comedy to break down walls, to knock people out of their polite little shells and make them face what was going on. Racial humor opens up frank dialog so that we don't have to sit around and pretend like everything's fine and that our society is some blissful model of perfect equality.
Modern comedians carry on this trend (Good ones at least, not *******s like Mencia). They not only force people to think about race, but they neutralize it. When you're angry about something, and someone's mocking you for it, doesn't it just make you look like an idiot? When someone like Chappelle makes fun of white supremacists and racial stereotypes, he's turning their entire existance into farce. That's whats great about racial humor today. Comedy exposes how stupid racism is and makes it something that we can mock and belittle. It's neutralizing racism.
Oh, and the little spiel about how "Gangster 'Culture'" is ruining society, :roll: . At least be somewhat original in your arguments. Good job drawing a connection between two completely unrelated points and making yourself look like some out of touch geriatric in a rascal scooter with your "blame that damn hip hop" argument. Yes, rap is going to destroy society, just like that Elvis fella did all those years ago with his "rock and roll".
And when all else fails, bust out affirmitive action (for absolutely no reason).
"Quite ****ing True"?
If so, then I'm totally going to start using that.
AWE!!!!! RIP Mitch Hedburg. rice is good when ou're hungry and want 2000 of something. Escalator temporarily stairs, sorry for the convenience. :lol: :cry:
Mitch Hedberg was great. Died way before his time.
True.
That reminds me of a comedian(the guy from king of queens with the pug?) and he was talking about some drunk guy that went on for standup. He sd the guy would talk about a subject, drift off and sleep on stage, then snap out of it and he would be at the end of each routine so you had this big gap i nthe story. but it would have been even better if the guy intentionally did it. I disagree, watching drunk standup is awesome. :lol:
Yeah, you're thinking of Patton Oswalt, and that story is great.
