So he's Honduran, so what? Mencia grew up in East LA; how much more "Beaner" do you want?

I'm Puerto Rican and I think Mencia is hysterical, especially the way he rants against stupidity without regard to race, creed, color or national origin. He and Chapelle are cut from the same cloth, but their styles are distinct.

Yes, he is not afraid to offend, very refreshing in an era of bocorrectness, and joins the ranks of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor, who raised many an eyebrow. I'm anxiously awaiting season two.

In response to the "Ant Popper's" so called "review" below, Carlos was renamed Carlos by his aunt and uncle who raised him and their last name was Mencia.

Have you ever watched the show?
If so, you might have recalled a certain phrase that Carlos uses for people like yourself...

DEE DEE DEEEEEEE!

If you're not laughing, you're not living, baby.

LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HILARIOUS!
I can not wait for season 2

If this is the show used to fill in the tragically canceled Chappelle's Show, then there is no God.

Carlos Mencia is a worthless "comedian" who can't imagine things beyond being racist. He always compares Mexicans to other people, but sorry to break the ice, but Mencia is not Mexican. He is a mix of Honduran and German, no Mexican in his blood at all. The man's jokes are rehashed, idiotic, and downright cruel and unfunny. If there weren't stereotypes in this world, then this show wouldn't have existed. At least when Dave Chappelle does his stereotypical jokes, he doesn't have to enhance them with mindless yelling and he knows what he's talking about.

I would give the man much more respect if he admitted that he was Honduran. I'd also give him more respect if he wasn't always using degrading Mexican jokes and actually opened up his mind. But no, this is how it turns out. Save yourself the trouble and watch anything else on Comedy Central besides this.

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.

Mind of Mencia is honest, brutal yes, but honest. You can ONLY be OFFENDED if you ALLOW yourself to be offended. Geesh people get a grip! It isn't like what he talks about doesn't happen! At least he tells it like it is and puts a funny spin on it. If you find him distasteful go rent some vintage Lawrence Welk and stock up on Ensure!

Carlos tells it like it is. That is all there is to it. If you can't laugh at yourself, then dont watch this DVD, it ain't for you.

Carlos is about making us take a long look at ourselves and then each other. He warns right up front that he will offend. He is an equal opportunity offender. And I love it.

Thank you Carlos, for making people think. That is what it is really all about. If more people listened to him, this world would probably be a better place.

Funny as hell...thats all there is to it. Who cares about politics when it comes to getting a laugh. Who cares if he's honduran, mexican, american, australian, or martian, it DOESN'T MATTER. He speaks his mind and it's funny as hell. If you dont like it, dont buy it. If you haven't bought it, dont review it. If you bought it and didn't like it, then you have a right to post a negative review here...after all, thats what reviews are for. But I think its hilarious how good he is at passing himself off as a mexican when he's not, and then by doing so can talk about them in a way anyone else can't.

Also, where I live, and work...the whole area is dominated by illeagal mexiacan immigrants...where 10 years ago there were almost no mexicans in the area. They work jobs for 8 bucks an hour that a documented worker and citizen would otherwise get paid 15-20 dollars an hour. There are americans here with no jobs and families, including LEGAL Immigrants, that cant get a job because the illeagals will always work for cheaper...

First off all I have to say is get off your high horse you ignorant asses. The only thing I have heard from the people who dislike the style of Mr.Mencia is that hes not really mexican. Well no crap. He openly admits being of honduran decent. What do you care anyways? You cant overlook the fact that he is not Mexican. Who cares if his given name was Ned and he grew up in east LA. I know I sure dont. It doesnt take away from his comedy one bit. He says things in front of a crowd of racially diverse people that I bet each and every one of us would be a little hesitant to do. All I have to say is I love his show and I cant wait for the new episodes. This DVD is awesome and it wont disappoint. And for those of you who dont like him, change the channel and find something else to b**** and moan about.

FIRST OF ALL THIS DVD KICKS ASS, HE IS THE S*** AND HE IS THE FUNNIEST COMEDIAN. HE DOES MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE STEROTYPICALLY, BUT IF YOU DON'T LIKE TO GET MADE FUN OF BECAUSE OF YOUR RACE............THEN DON'T WATCH THE D**N SHOW!!!!!!!!
