Mind of Mencia
Comedy Central

Not since George Carlin has someone been both so right and so funny all at the same time. Carlos Mencia makes me think as the milk is shooting out of my nose. He is an equal opportunity offender.

As a white male, I have often been ashamed of what people like me have done just during my lifetime. I will add that I don't agree with or was ever part of any of shameful things I read about in history class, but I sure can laugh about them. Unlike some of the people that e-mail him, I can take a joke. Carlos drives home the humor he sees in everyday life. It don't matter if it's a sign found along the highway in California or news reports, Carlos makes me laugh.

The "De-de-de" of the week, and the award program he put on was as funny and fresh as George Carlin's 7 words bit, and you can play it on the air. If you are so proud of who you are and where you come from, you will be offended at some point, so if this bothers you watch something else.

If you have a chance, watch this show. The world needs cutting edge comics like Carlos Mencia.
He understands what free speach is and how to use it to make a point. Dave Chappelle was great and did shows alot like Carlos Mencia, Chappelle burned out and stopped making shows. I hope this don't happen to Carlos Mencia because I'd like to see his show for years to come.

Could this show be any funnier.... Sure. Just like anything this show has room for growth, thing is I bet Carlos is better at fixing them than I am.

Do I forgive Comedy Central for getting rid of Mystery Science Theater 3000... Not really, but life goes on and so should humor. Shows like this is why I pay extra for Dish Network, and it is worth every cent for it too!

Now when Drawn Together starts its second season I'll have reason to tune in once more.

If you ain't laughing, you ain't living
