With the second season of Mind of Mencia, comedian Carlos Mencia doesn't hold back, whether he's skewering George W. Bush, gays, or racial stereotypes (including his beloved "beaners"). Mencia displays an almost child-like glee during his monologues that are a part of each episode. Flapping his arms and legs around like a kid who's heard the funniest joke, he punctuates stories with his trademark sing-song "dee de dee." The second season, which aired in 2006 on Comedy Central, starts off with a hilarious send up of Brokeback Mountain. Mencia's version is "Wetback Mountain," starring himself and former Saved By the Bell actor Mario Lopez. The skit's reveal isn't that the characters are gay (they're not). Rather, it's that they secretly revel in burritos, piñatas, and ponchos when Caucasians aren't around to watch them being... Mexican.
Mencia is a good actor when he puts his mind to it. In one skit where he portrays an ethnic convenience store employee, he delivers zingers not unlike Johnny Carson doing his "Amazing Kreskin" bits. To a smoker who is having lung problems, he chides, "You need cigarettes like this country needs another C-average president." And to a particularly hefty customer complaining that she'd be thin, too, if she had a celebrity's entourage to whip her into shape, he predicts, "If you had a personal trainer, you would probably eat him." This season is filled with guest appearances by fellow comics Cheech Marin, Dave Attell, and a poker-faced Peter Boyle (Everybody Loves Raymond), who surmises that the "Jesus fish" on the back of Christians' cars basically means, "I love Jesus, but I don't know how to spell it." The highlights of the two-disc set, which includes all 14 episodes, are a spoof of Pirates of the Caribbean (with some scenery chomping turns by Jamie Kennedy, Tracy Morgan, and Bobby Lee), and a competition he dubs the Stereotype Olympics, in which he sets out to settle once and for all which ethnic groups are the fastest, best suited for looting, and the most, um, well-endowed. The results are surprisingly hilarious. --Jae-Ha Kim

This man is craaazy! He is just hilarious! I've watched his first three seasons on DVD now and love it. He really says what's on his mind and pulls no punches! He is hysterical. The only bad thing is we have to wait until November to get the fourth season.

It's Carlos Mencia, what else can you say? It's hilarious, and even moreso since it's uncencored. Worth the money!

Carlos has to be my favorite comedian of all times. Yes, he might use the "F" word too much but he has an amazing talent at taking the brutal truth and putting it out there and making it funny. I guess I enjoy his humor so much because I believe, as he does, that if you are 100% secure in who you are you do not need to take offense to his jokes. Most of what he says is based on what we have seen out there.
I call Carlos Mencia "My Therapist". When I get home from work, no matter how stressed I am and how bad my day went, after one episode of Carlos I am laughing, happy, and stress free. Try it. This man is a genius.

Friends of Mencia will know that you eithr love his humour or you hate it - much like South Park - there really is no in between ! As long as you are thick skinned and not easily offended - because believe me no race, religeon or country gets out unscathed !
Lots of laughter - with the usual expected bits of audience participation from time to time makes Mencia one of a kind.
Season 3 is on pre-order - what are you waiting for !

This is probably the better of the first two seasons. But I'm pretty sure that when the third season is available, it's going to sell like hotcakes.

Seriously. He's not funny. He just yells out racial slurs and racist comments ... which in itself is not bad IF it is told in a form of a joke. But he doesn't tell jokes, he just says racist crap in a tone that almost tries to convince you that it's suppose to be funny.
Stupid people will laugh at his stuff. And if he does have good material every now and then, most likely he stole it from other comics.
Just search for Bill Cosby and Carlos Mencia on youtube, you can see an example of blatant and shameless plagarism.

Okay, it may just be that my DVD player is estupido, but for some reason, it won't let me access single episodes and when I play it straight through, the first chapter in the episodes after the first all get skipped, so I have to play with the back/forward buttons. It took me two viewings to figure this out, so that's fairly DEE DEE-DEE on my part.
Kind of a dropoff in terms of material this time and it seems like there was a lot of self-censorship on the part of Carlos and others in his episodes. Highlights: A visibly ill Peter Boyle (RIP) telling the real meaning behind bumper stickers ("I Support Bush" really means "I can't get this f****** sticker off my car!"), Carlos' duet with Aries Spears on "KanYe West is a Crazy N****," and Punji the convenience store clerk.
There's also a nice nose-thumbing at Dave Chapelle's sudden development of ethics, but I'll let you watch that on your own.
By now, everyone knows Ned's schtick. Engineering student turned stand-up comic in the vein of Bill Hicks for the 21st century. Your mom knows what "Dee Dee-Dee!" means, so the sun may be setting on his fifteen minutes of fame. I still worry he's going to get shot. The use of the small person is tiresome in the face of shows like Jack***, and Joseph Mencia may be the Jose Jimenez of the new millennium. That said, it's still funnier than most of the stuff out there currently.
It's good, but the menu is wonky.
