Yes, that is very much a tan. I remember how much lighter he was back when he did his first "Comedy Central Presents" special. Then as good as he got his own show, he pulled a Geraldo (meaning he changed his name).
Oh, and someone needs to tell him that any punch a punchline has is completely removed as soon as you explain the joke to the audience. Mencia's jokes literally go something like this:
"That white dude was so racist, he put Nazis to shame."
*pause for scarce audience laughter*
"See, some of you aren't getting that joke. You're like 'durr, wut's a Nazi Carlos?' They're the guys who killed Jews because they weren't white enough! How do you think they feel about beaners, dummy?! DEEDEEDEE!"
And then the art of stand-up comedy dies a little.
I actually think he's funny. If he's pladgerizing, I'd like to see some examples.
Unfortunatly, he still ahs a show on Comedy Central because the same people that think he is funny are the same ones that like Larry the Cable Guy....actually Larry is probably funnier than Carlos.
Mencia is a racist *****ebag, but I'd rather have Comedy Central just cancel his show.
Im still surprised its on. He has zero likeability. He has nothing but bad buzz with all his joke stealing, and his show is a third rate Chappelle Show
Also, I always hear people say he playgerized other comedian's work--is there any actual evidence of this that someone can link me to?
And on top of that he abused your mom and killed your cat. The harm he's inflicted on you and others is so immeasurable
He says he's from Honduras, but tends to liken himself to Mexicans all the time. I get that he probably does it because he grew up around Mexicans, but he has on occasion called himself a beaner and said he actions were sometimes "*******y." His constant jokes at the expense of Mexicans leads his viewers to believe he himself is Mexican, and he tends to avoid mentioning he's from Honduras except maybe once or twice a year.When did he ever say he was from Mexico? I seem to remember hearing him always saying he was from Honduras.
