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

1.0 out of 5 stars Screaming racist things in a loud way is not funny Carlos., May 31, 2007

This review is from: Mind of Mencia - Uncensored Season 2 (DVD)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The menu on the DVD is DDD!, April 16, 2007

This review is from: Mind of Mencia - Uncensored Season 2 (DVD)

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.

Signed,
