Chalk one up for the Beaners
12 Mar 2006
By Dr. Dave
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Mindless Garbage
26 July 2007
By Bill Lumbergh
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
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.

Dear Dee Dee Dee's (i.e. "Ant Popper")
23 Mar 2006
By Rogers
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
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.
