Mencia's first cd was great. In one bit he makes fun of the audience when he pronounces a name in its English pronunciation. Mencia then tells his audience that if they want the Spanish pronouncement of the name to get his Espaniol version of the cd this one is English. Well This cd is the Espaniol version. If you have limited or no knowledge of Spanish avoid this cd. What bothers me is that there is no warning that this cd is mostly Spanish. The cd has a warning for explicit language but none for this cd being mostly a Spanish speaking cd. This seems to me to be a bit deceptive in the sale of the cd. Therefore, I warn all those who expect the usual Mencia comedy to skip this one if they don't habla.

I am a huge fan of Carlos, and have been for years. Ever since the release of 'Take a Joke, America', I have eagerly awaited the next album. So, imagine my joy when I saw this album.I was disappointed.
Usually, Carlos' comedy is peppered with bits of Spanish, mostly well-known words or stuff you can figure out. This album, I'd say about half of the album is in full Spanish. And it's mostly the punchlines to his jokes. He sets them up in English and then goes into Spanish, with no explanation.
There's nothing on the CD to denote that large portions of the contents are in Spanish, so there was no warning of this. Not even so much as an SAP button.
If you don't already have it, grab 'Take a Joke, America'. It's a great album from one of the funniest men of our time. But not this album.

This sounds like an attempt to gain the George Lopez audience. Hell some of the material sounds almost the same. Personally I know Mencia for his political stabs & off the wall comedy and this is just bland "point out the Mexican stereotypes" CD. Pass on it if you're not into this.

I was very disappointed to discover that this CD was actually a re-release of the EXACT same material on a previous CD. The publication date showed this fall, so I made the bad assumption that it was a new release. I wasted my money, as we already own the previous CD. Bummer.

This is one of the funniest things I have ever heard in my ENTIRE LIFE!!! It's definitely for Raza, so if you're Mexican you'll appreciate it more. I can't believe people give it a bad rating because of the language. Hello! The title is SPANGLISH. What do you think?! (dee-dee-dee!)
Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's not amazingly hilarious.

I got my CD in today and got it into the CD player as soon as I could. It's definitely a new album (dated 2006) but can't tell exactly when the show was performed. Inside, it's listed as being from The Comedy Club in Denver so this was probably one of his shows before really getting into Comedy Central.

As the prior poster said, yup it's pretty much all spanish with a some English thrown in. If you're hispanic, know spanish (I've known some that don't speak it) had older generation hispanic parents and love Carlos, you WILL understand everything on this CD. Hubby and I were laughing so hard. I heard a couple of jokes I've heard before but this WASN'T a duplicate of a Carlos CD I already had.

For the price I paid via Amazon sellers, it was definitely worth the price!
