Carlos mencia is a loser. I like comedy thats edgey, raw, political and dangerous. I dont like comedians who pretend and are poseurs.

Carlos is a jerk. If someone ripped off a Pearl Jam song and didnt give Pearl jam credit people would be asking for that bands head, but people act like Carlos is some genious.

Bring back the real comedians like Pryor, or Carlin, or Chappelle.

    People think Mencia is a genious??? I figured everyone thought he was a witless moron like I do.

    i think you meant to write "mitch hedberg" here.

    however, if you;re not willing to tear yourself away from politics for any period of time, listen to lewis black. he's hilarious.

    Really? I wouldn't have guessed that. I haven't had cable in a few weeks, I was going to switch to direct tv but it just seemed so nice without tv in the house...so I left it off. Annnyways, I sure haven't missed his annoying commercials. That guy makes me cringe.

    I heard so much about him, got kinda interested, watched one of his routines...and haven't watched or listened to him since.

    We've got a lot of witless morons who watch tv. Mencia isn't 'edgy' he's just entirely unoriginal. He's absolutely terrible.

    Pryor and Carlin, and even Chappelle were great. They should fire mencia and show standup in his timeslot.
    Come on pilgrim you know he loves you..

    I've been a huge fan of his stand up, before he got his own show. His show isn't funny, but his stand up before 2003 was funny.

    What joke is it he's supposedly stolen? I haven't heard about it.

    i'd never heard of this guy until i saw the video of joe rogan on stage calling him out for stealing other comedian's material. apparently he's pretty bad and well known in comedy circles as a hack.

    he's also not even mexican, he's honduran and german, and his real name is ned holness.

    Mitch...
    Me and my friends did acid in the woods, 'cause there was much less chance of running into an authority figure. But we ran into a bear. And that is way more of a buzz kill. One of my friends was raising his right hand and swearing to prevent forest fires. Later, he came up to me and said, "Mitchell. Smokey is way more intense in person."

    And these are the same group of assholes that when I was a kid told me in case of a nuclear attack, to hide under my desk. You know what they would do? They would come to my school with films to show me how to protect myself from a nuclear fuck holocaust. They would show this giant nuclear fucking bomb just blowing the shit out of everything. Goats and monkeys flying everywhere. The windows of the elementary school- blown out. The teacher- banged up against the fucking blackboard. But... there were the children, hiding safely under their desk. Writing poetry, playing guitar. Every 2 weeks when I was 9, my elementary school would have an air raid drill. I guess to remind me I can die at any minute! ...And i'm sitting there thinking that the adults in my community said I could protect myself from a fire-fuck-ball by hiding under wood. I'm hiding under kindling. Maybe I can get some sticks SO I CAN BURN FASTER! And I thought ‘Wow! If this was a real attack, when the all clear sounded, I can go out to the playground... AND MELT!’

    I don't watch is show on Comedy Central but I did watch his standup and it was funny. Not intellectual and not politically correct but funny. I actually watched a Lewis Black special on HBO on demand last night and liked him. I don't like his hand movements so I thought watching him would bug me but he was funny.

    I remember really liking Mencia's stand-up routine. I saw something of his about 7 years ago and thought it was funny. Then I saw him do a 90 minute set at the Improv a few years ago. That was a great show. Not a huge fan of his TV show though. Of course, I was never much of a fan of Chapelle's show either.

    My favourites are Carlin and Hedberg. I just love Hedberg's delivery, so dead pan, compared to Cook.

    Chapelle's show was friggin' genius. Mencia's got nothing on him. Mencia could be mildly entertaining at times. That said, I've probably seen an hour of his show, in about 10 minute increments, in my entire life.

    carlos's stand up rocks. i've been a fan since about 1992. i don't care for the show but i'm rolling on the floor at his stand up. he's got the balls to do what only the old greats would do. no PC. it's open season on everyone as comedy should be.

    Joe Rogan tried calling out dennis leary for the same thing. Joe Rogan should actually try being funny, before he calls people out.

    You can't really compare Mencia to Carlin..Carlin is untouchable. He's in a league of his own. Henry Rollins is pretty funny. I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure it's Mitch Hedberg I can't stand. I always switch the station when I hear him on satellite. He's just not funny.

    Carlin imo is hit or miss. Sometimes hes funny other times he blows.

    Chappelle in the same breath as Richard Pryor and George Carlin? No fuckin' way.

    Redd Foxx, Robin Williams, Robert Klien, Bill Cosby, Lily Tomlin; hell yeah, either one of these should be in there. Not Chappelle.

    Lewis Black, Denis Leary, Chris Rock, Ellen DeGeneres, Wanda Sykes, Sarah Silverman..funny stuff.
