"Do you think the powers of PC would allow a white guy to get away with having a show like Mind of Mencia? Nein mein herr!



Why am I speaking German? Because Carlos aka Ned Holness is actually half German and half Central American, not Mexican. Oh yeah, almost all of his material is lifted from superior comedians suchs as Chris Rock, George Lopez, Dave Chapelle...and *gasp! Jeff Foxworthy! How uncool is it for a hip "Mexican" "comedian" to rip off a mildly funny redneck comedian?



Fans of "Carlos", due to their lack of taste and intelligence, will proudly say "Don't playa hate man. Carlos is just telling it like it is! Its your fault if you can't take his edgy un-PC humor!". Newsflash: un-PC humor isn't always funny, and it is far from new. Its been around since the days of Lenny Bruce and Red Fox. Nearly all of Carlos's jokes are racially-based. He attacks whites, blacks, asians, his own "people"(though he's not Mexican) and he has particular venom for Arab Americans in a way that is not funny but totally uncalled for. Why focus so much on race jokes? Is that all you can think of? Its the same as when 95% of comedians suck because they tell the same overmilked sex jokes over and over.



Want good comedians who have something to say? George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy(before the tranny incident) and the almighty Bill Hicks. The fact that this jackass has his own Comedy Central causes me more concern for the state of human civilization than the fact that Paris Hilton is famous."

"Ned Holness, aka Carlos Mencia, is well known, amongst comedians and followers of the art, as a joke thief. He's not even a "beaner," he's half German, half Honduran. He's, in short a poser, a liar, and a thief.



You're better served checking out who he lifts from (namely):



1. Joe Rogan

2. Paul Mooney

3. George Lopez (an ACTUAL Mexican)"

Internalized racism----not really funny....

"i got this as a gift and it was not at all funny...he uses pretty tired material and most of his stuff is played out

i think you would think it was funny if you had half a brain.



Yes, Mexicans do labor for white people, yes we do talk funny. He just uses observation and screams a lot with no social critique or commentary that true geniuses use (Dave Chappelle, George Lopez, Lalo Alcaraz, Bill Hicks and George Carlin)and in fact upholds a lot of the stale stereotypes that rich, upper class people have for poor Mexicans like me.



I guess this would be funny if you had the same level of self-hate as he does but its not funny when you are a Mexican like me.



But the material is adult uses a lot of "cringe humor" like talking about sex with his sister (I'm sure we've all seen the Comedy Central commercial) and describes his mom as a "uterus with a head" yikes!



Anyway the sad part is that he is not Mexican but in fact half Honduran and half German (born Ned Holness)?



Buy at your own caution....
