- Favreism, on 12/04/2008, -0/+11Funny thing is, this will be part of Carlos' standup act by next week, with some slight alterations (read: addition of the word "beaner.")
- bearbeatsrock, on 12/04/2008, -2/+10Thank God. He must be stopped.

- johnnyguitar, on 12/05/2008, -1/+5How is this not popular?
- Swarms, on 12/04/2008, -0/+4I like Jeff Dunham and all, but "favorite"? He may be the best ventriloquist, but that's not saying much in the comedy world.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gVYfDCgYxk - SlyT862, on 12/05/2008, -0/+3If you like Mencia, kill yourself.
If you don't feel like killing yourself, at least check out Bill Cosby, Chris Rock, Louis C.K., Sam Kinison, George Lopez, and others, because most of Ned's jokes were written by these guys.
Granted, other ***** comedians steal jokes too (i.e. Dane Cook) but Carlos manages to steal jokes, makes them significantly less funny than the original performer, and still gets a TV show. I don't get it. - censorshipwreck, on 12/04/2008, -0/+2and it will...
Louis CK - jrm125, on 12/06/2008, -0/+2Sucks dropping out of high school and living in your parents' basement, eh?
- lurrker, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2Mencia is hands down the worst show/comedian in the history of television/comedy.
Carlos Mencia does for comedy what the holocaust did for the Jews, except the holocaust wasn't as brutal, it made more sense, and was slightly less of a crime against humanity.
80% of his jokes don't even have a punch line, they are just stereotypes examined to the point of obscurity.
The following sentence is specifically for Carlos...Yelling a joke doesn't make it funnier.
Just take a stereotypical topic (like Asian drivers, Black people eating watermelon, or Mexicans mowing lawns) and yell it while doing a little dance.
DEE DEE DEE!!!!

PS: Had to look up tl;dr,
Too Long; Didn't Read
Literally translates to: I'm too lazy to read the entirety of what you said, but I still want to say something. DEE DEE DEE!!!! - inactive, on 12/05/2008, -0/+2Thats the worst beaner ever, what a FLUKE!
- inactive, on 12/04/2008, -2/+3My family thinks he is funny. I am still willing to starve him out.
- bking, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2Yes. Digg is offended by jokes about beaners mowing lawns.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to watch some c-span to calm down. - Favreism, on 12/04/2008, -1/+2tl;dr
- Favreism, on 12/06/2008, -0/+1Funnily enough, I actually did read the whole thing the first time. It just felt like an appropriate comment at the time. Nice website though, I'll digg you up for that.
- aphexplotz, on 12/04/2008, -0/+1You beat me to it.
- cyrusuncc, on 12/05/2008, -0/+1Beaners of the world unite!
- lurrker, on 12/07/2008, -0/+1NP, it was all in jest anyway, much funnier than Carlos. The summarizer is neat, I only found it after wondering how to shorten it - because it really is too long.
- inactive, on 12/05/2008, -1/+2Cook sucks ass to...
- soggybomb, on 12/09/2008, -0/+1this is brilliant
- phschris1, on 12/08/2008, -0/+1***** pussy liberals. Get over it.
- fattehboi, on 12/06/2008, -0/+1yeah srsly what the ***** is that *****.
- cyrusuncc, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1Carlos Men-steal-ia
- SpookyBoots, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1Yeah that's why we don't like him. Because we're offended. But not by anything else on Digg.
- fattehboi, on 12/06/2008, -1/+1wasn't his show cancelled?
also, catchy song. - Steve8955, on 12/04/2008, -2/+2And then maybe get Chocolate News canceled for an encore
- aftern9ne, on 12/05/2008, -1/+1The only reason this douchebag hit fame was his Comedy Central Presents appearance where he spent most of the time repeating racial misconceptions about Arabs and used it to prop up why America was so great after September 11th.
- primaldefense, on 12/04/2008, -1/+1Jeff Dunham, The Amazing Johnathan, Stephen Lynch are some of my favorites. The funny thing is they do comedy, but they all do it in a way that is more then just stand up. One if a veltriloquist, one does magic as well, the other sings songs. I guess I am just a sucker for people who can incorporate comedy into more then just standing up and telling jokes and don't incorporate at least something else into their act.

Hands down the worst show/comedian in the history of television/comedy. Carlos Mencia does for comedy what the holocaust did for the Jews, except the holocaust wasn't as brutal, it made more sense, and was slightly less of a crime against humanity.
Carlos Mencia's jokes have no range outside of weak observations about race, nor do they contain an ounce of originality. When I talk about the show being a horrendous atrocity, I'm not referring to the show being overly racist, in fact that has almost nothing to do with it. It's the constructs of the jokes themselves. They're pitiful attempts at humor. They lack any kind of intelligence whatsoever, so little in fact, that his comedy is barely one notch above a clown slipping on a banana peel. 80% of his jokes don't even have a punch line, they are just stereotypes examined to the point of obscurity.
The following paragraph is specifically for Carlos...
Yelling a joke doesn't make it funnier. Doing little twitches while telling a joke doesn't make it funnier. Pointing at the camera or various people in the audience doesn't make it funnier. Laughing hysterically at your own jokes doesn't make them funnier. Relying on stereotypes for 99.8% of your material doesn't make you funnier. Having your own show doesn't make you funny. Your not funny, nor are you by any means a respected comedian, but rather, you are a commercialized joke, a fat vulture feeding on the remains of the Chappelle show. Perhaps when you take the time to construct a joke coherently, rather than fall back on "in-yo-face"-ity, will you truly know what it means to be a comedian.
What's that you say, Carlos speaks the truth? He's brave for saying what we're all thinking and people just need to lighten up? Well then I have good news for all you Mencia fans: We can all be Carlos Mencia! Its easier than you think. Just take a stereotypical topic (like Asian drivers, Black people eating watermelon, or Mexicans mowing lawns) and yell it while doing a little dance.
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED ASIANS CAN'T DRIVE!!! DEE DEE DEE!!!!
See? Wasn't that easy? I hope there are enough time slots and paychecks at Comedy Central for all of us.
Mind of Mencia's abnormal success is a dark glimpse into the comedic mind of the American majority (although we all know tv rating systems are inaccurate). To put it simply, it is simplistic, it is comedy (dare I even use that word to describe it) that requires no thinking, intelligence, or taste. The next time you laugh at his quote-unquote "jokes", ask yourself why your laughing. Is it content that is essentially clever and humorous, or is it an exploitation of obvious stereotypes that any person with half a brain can conceive?

It was much better than anything I could write! - mmclaurin, on 12/06/2008, -3/+1Don't college students have more to do than make bad video and be indoctrinated by the left???
- Enlightenment, on 12/05/2008, -5/+2
Stop Dane Cook - He Sucks!
I saw Carlos live and he was extremely funny. It appears that we have too many losers on Digg who can handle being offended...go back to your mothers basement and shut the ***** up! - primaldefense, on 12/04/2008, -10/+2I enjoy the Carlos Mencia show, it is corny, stupid, but still humerous. Yeah he is not one of the best comedians out there, Jeff Dunham is still one of my favorite current comedians. But this video was great, I kinda hope on the Mencia show they do a parody of it.
