Latest sketch makes fun of racial stereotypings and has Mencia playing a crooked lawyer making the "stereotypes" work for you. The first one is of an Asian American woman looking like a business woman accused of stabbing her boyfriend with a fork, and he dresses up her in a Chinese costume drama outfit having her cook and talk in an accent to disprove the jury that she "even owns a fork." It's pretty hilarious actually

hilarious and Carlos Mencia don't go together, unless prefaced with NOT

everytime I see that windbag (who reminds me of a bag just before you pop it) I keep hearing his voice say "WHAT IF DERE WAS A BEANER RICK JAMES" and I remind myself he's a half-german half-honduran, all douche

[BigLew]

Isn't carlos like polish or something?

i thought he was funny when his show was new. but now he's just recycling the same crap over and over and over again. and he needs to put that di di di joke to rest. it was funny the first 2 or 3 times he did it, but after 5,000 iterations, it's just dumb now.

[deez nuts]

he has his moments but his stuff is definitely recycled and getting old. i watch him from time to time and he gets annoying after about 15 minutes. 15 minutes is all i can take because after that he becomes one annoying hyperactive beaner.

Amen! Ned Holness, aka "Mencia" has only been ever so slightly funny when stealing other people's jokes. Even then, he screws them up with terrible delivery. Google/youtube "mencia joke thief" and you get to see everything he's stolen over the years and made less funny.

^word on that; and he is indeed half german, at least according to my own research.

[Deadpool]

Mencia = Fake Mexican, Loser

[tripostrophe]

^ Oh yeah he's half German half Honduran or something right?

[mrazntre]

everytime he steals George Lopez's jokes, he forgets to take out Mexican and insert Honduran.

in my defense of liking this is:

-it's not often you seen an Asian stereotype actually being pointed out to a large audience and laughed at for its ridiculousliness (the jew joke and black joke sucked though

-I'm overseas and dying US racial humor and this and russell peters and steven colbert is all I can get fed regularly in the internet.

Not really at all, I happened to click over it when I was on the comedy central website when I was going to watch the colbert report. The only thing I'd seen before is the one about the border sign that's pretty funny.

the guy can be funny, but his material is pretty much all the same. this clip is not the first time he's parodied racial stereotypes to joke about how they can be positive or how they can be used to your advantage. after you watch several episodes of his show, he becomes boring pretty quickly.
