The fact that he makes fun of everyone doesn't make him some innovative comedian who is bringing new light to the entertainment business. It just means that he can't make jokes out of anything outside of the blatantly obvious. And the fact that he so openly boasts that he is so courageous about not being afraid to offend people just means he is relying on another gimick to create controversy. Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and every single pulp comic or volunteer comedian at some cafe does ethnic routines. Fans of Ned Mencia accuse people who think Mencia has no talent of simply being shocked and offended. Nobody is offended by "Carlos self-promoting-psudonym Mencia". At the end of Mind of Mencia, he reads hate mail that is carefully selected so that the mail he reads specifically pertains to him being offensive so he can rant about how he is being a great fighter of free speech. The fact is that people hate Carlos Mencia because he is not funny and rose to the top by stealing jokes and riding on shock value controversy and cheap gimicks. The ethnic stereotypical bits that he is so well known for are not creative and nothing but recycled jokes that comics have been using for fifty years. The worst part is his dee-dee-dee gimick. He makes fun of our general society for being predominately impulsive and have a lack of reason when he can never take any logical high ground over anybody. I quote one of his supposidly original bits "I hate it how when I tell white people that the FDA allows cereal to be produced and marketed with rat feces and they ask 'well how much'...there is fecal matter in our cereal, Why would it matter how much?!.....DEE-DEE-DEE!!!" When he did that joke, he could not look any more retarded. There is about 50mg of feces per KG of cereal mass. That is a ratio of 1:20,000. There is no way to make the cereal with less feces unless it was made at some factory in outer space. We are inhaling more animal waste as we sit in our homes. This next rant doesn't say how Carlos has no talent but it does make fun of him in the most direct of ways. I think it is incredibly ironic whenever he makes fun of retards when he looks like some retard who walked into someone else's closet and started dressing himself. All he has to do to pass off as someone clinically proven to be mentally retarded is wear a helmet.

Period. Does he make fun of everyone, absolutely, including himself. Yes, he says what he thinks, he says what most people think. The man has a gift for pointing out the obvious in this politically correct world. Does he offend people? Absolutely. People need to be offended from time to time, that way we get to see what self-righteous idiots they are. As for making fun of the "dee-dee-dee"s of the world, he's not picking on the truly mentally handicapped, just the people that have smoked/drunk and blamed on everyone else their way into their chosen path to stupidity. Are some people disadvantaged? Sure, and have some of those disadvantaged people *MADE* opportunties to better their lives? Absolutely. But do the "dee-dee-dee"'s of the world use them as an example to follow? No, they don't. Instead they're content to blame everyone else for their "misfortune", for their "lack of opportunity". For what it's worth, I'm one of those "disavantaged" people who actually made something worthwhile of their lives. I come from the poorest family in four blocks, and now I'm a software engineer making a damned good living and helping others to boot. For those of you who condemn Carlos Mencia for what he does, you're showing your stupidity because being American means that people like Carlos Mencia can do exactly what he does without worry. Just like being an American means that you can condemn Carlos and those like him, except that your condemnation is nothing more than hot air and noise. Something to think about: It's idiots like you that provide the examples for his act. More power to him I say.

First off, if my name was Ned Holness, I would drop that and take my mother's maiden name of Mencia also. I would not want to be called Mr. Holness. You need to actually watch his act before you make a comment like some of you people have. If you would watch his act you would know that he doesnt claim to be mexican, he clearly states he's from Honduras. He only mentions being mexican in a joke on racial stereotypes: "I'm mexican in LA, Cuban in Miami and Puerto Rican in New York". That is why he appreciates being an American so much because he actually knows what it is like to live in another country. We so-called natural born Americans dont appreciate being americans because we dont know any other life. We have always been given the right to freedom of speech, in many countries around the world if you speak your mind you are killed. So, Carlos isn't that original- I will give you that, but there arent many comics in his position who actually push the envelope of polital correctness, Chris Rock does it and Ralphie May did in "Just Correct" but are there any other comics who do it? George Lopez talks about Hispanics and family and how white people dont understand "mexicans" he doesnt delve into the issues of being too PC. I have to say I disagree with MrQuinn on the issue that Carlos' fans are uneducated, just because we dont share your simple minded opinion. And if you are a man, how can you say nicknames are earned? I bet at some point in your life you gave your "lil soldier" a nickname and I'm pretty sure it wasn't "earned". The world is big enough for many comics. There are many types of comedy not just joke telling that makes you laugh. There is dry humor as used by Woody Allen; there is self demoralizing humor as used by Richard Pryor in his early years and Sam Kennison-who if i remember correctly yelled at the top of his lungs much like Carlos; there is "you might be a redneck" by Jeff Foxworthy; drunken humor- Ron White; honky humor- Larry the Cable guy; family humor- Bill Cosby; making fun of mexicans - almost perfected by George Lopez and Paul Rodriguez; ventriliquist humor; please pardon this next phrase my black people-but "Nigga humor" used by just about every black comedian who has ever lived except Bill Cosby. And to Bostonian who stated ".(It’s like saying “Well, I’m Black, so I can say “Nigger”) you I assume are white because no black person would ever call someone Nigger maybe Nigga but never Nigger as there is a huge diferrence in the two words definitions. I'm Mexican and can say that I find it hilarious that Carlos did the Taco Bell dog bit, because it's true how can the people of LULAC be so ignorant to actually say that a dog represent the hispanic people. They are just too closed minded that they cant appreciate a good commercial, Taco Bell hasn't done anything near as funny since. Anyway, so all I'm saying is that as human beings, or homosapiens for all of us "uneducated people", we need to respect that other people will have different sense of humor and that what makes you laugh won't make someone else laugh. So just because we appreciate different comedy doesnt mean that what you like is less funny that what I like, we just like different things. Thats the beauty of being an American at least we have that option. To everyone bashing Carlos Ned or whatever his name is, you people need to quit being so closed minded.

A "comedian" without an original bone in his body. An admitted word for word joke theif who thinks it's okay to completely steal other REAL comedian's bits because he thinks he has a better delivery, when really he comes off as obnoxious, hypocrtical, and ignorant (in the real sense of the word). A "comedian" who is really, really loud about things that he knows nothing about. A human loud mouth, trash bucket, asshole who thinks he's controversial, when really the only controversial thing about him is where is gets his jokes and self proclaimed ethnicity. A "comedian" who accepts a fake last name because it sounds "more mexican". A total ass clown who exposes the soft underbelly of stupid and ignorant television viewers. A "comedian" whom no one with over a 4th grade education should appreciate. A "comedian" who's uneducated and immature followers have yet to be explained by evolution or science. A "comedian" who's total lack or morals is only trumped by his total lack of class and brain power. To "Mencia" something would be to do something so crippling or horrible to any given craft. A "comedian" who is flat-lining comedy. A "comedian" who doesn't realize that nicknames are earned and that you can't just give them to yourself. A "comedian" who has stolen so much and is so loudly ignorant that changing the channel isn't enough anymore. Someone who owes REAL Mexicans an apology for stealing their identity. Someone who talks as though he has been kicked in the head repeatedly. Someone who has no talent. Someone who deserves to be thrown in a hole with a tape recorder that has his own comedy on it, so that he can hear exactly how loud and ignorant he truly is, and then will forever step down from the stage. This way, people who know anything about the world or comedy will forever be saved from his annoying and uninformed voice. Someone who George Lopez should take a huge crap on. A "comedian" I wouldn't even listen to on my way to a real and original comedy show. A total fraud. A half German, half Honduran “comedian” who lacks intelligence and common sense.

It's just that Ned isn't funny. The entire "He makes fun of EVERYONE so its funny" excuse is really played out, and tired. I LOVE a good racist joke. Ari Shaffir(Amazing Racist)is one of the funniest people alive, and guess what? Ned ripped off most of his act (They toured together at one point) Ned Mencia just isn't funny. I can handle racism and laugh, but he's just not funny. "You know how Black people do this? And then White people do THIS?! Well us Mexicans do (mumbles off into gibberish and starts screaming in Spanish until people laugh)" Wow man....SO funny.... And remember, He's not Mexican, and his name is "Ned". He just calls himself "Carlos" so dumb-ass's will assume he's Mexican, and allow him the right to slander them.(It's like saying "Well, I'm Black, so I can say "Nigger") Also keep in mind, the laughs you heard in his first season were all recordings from the Chappelle show. I mean wow...the guys a fraud, a hack, and a rip-off. He's just REALLY not funny. Heba, It’s not that anyone is “PC” for disliking Ned Mencia (His real name). It’s just that Ned isn’t funny.
