Round 2 begins! There are a lot of cable channels out there. It's time to choose who lives and who dies.
Plus: Syfy's expensive-looking miniseries Neverland and TLC's highly anticipated special Virgin Diaries.
The time has come to finally sort through and rank the channels for which we overpay every month.
Carlos Mencia and Cedric the Entertainer land pilots at ABC, Deadwood's David Milch returns to HBO, and Sharon Stone is a special victim.
I have been constantly told about someone who is a man whom speaks the truth, I tuned into his routines one day and found something that angered me. His name: Carlos Mencia.
When I am told he speaks the truth I wonder how some false racism, religousy offensive; actually, just about anything he says is offensive. To him making fun of religous and personal belives, to the color of someone's skin. Seriously, do the people who watch him decided to go back in tolerance a few hundred years? I really can not see how his accused jokes based on how someone is will ever be funny. No one likes it, so why are people watching him?
Carlos Mencia is one of the funniest stand-up acts I've ever seen. I would give him a 10, but his show bores me to tears. He had such a good future ahaed of him as a stand-up comedian. Although I'll be the first to say stand-up can only take you so far. A show is good if the the people producing it are good. I like his show only when he actually does a stand up act. His segments, while original(most of the time), are kind of dull. I think that getting that show was a real duh! moment, Carlos. Sorry to say, buuuut, stick to stand up.
Carlos Mencia. His comedy style is liked by some, disliked by others. Some can't stand him. I'm somewhere in the middle. Some of his jokes are quite funny, but half the time he's just plain offensive. He goes up to people on the street and insults them with his offensive material. Carlos Mencia has potential to be funny, when hes not telling his obnoxious jokes, but those moments are far and few between, as he mostly uses racial jokes and sterotypes to try to make people laugh. He's not getting any votes from me, and I also think he is overrated as a comedian and an entertainer.
It's always telling when someone thinks they Know What is Wrong with America, and furthermore, it's that everyone doesn't like them. Carlos tries to get a lot of mileage out of being angry at people. For what, I don't know; apparently he's mad that people aren't as much into racial and stereotypes humor as they used to be. Well, so what? This is a crime? All his jokes are the kind of obnoxious garbage told to you whenever a person is really trying not to be funny. You get the feeling this is the kind of guy who got in trouble a lot in school and blamed it on the person who turned him in.
Carlos Mencia's a great performer, but it's pretty well known that he steals a lot of his material from other comedians. You can find a lot of the bits from his TV show done years ago by some other comedian. Mencia just screams the joke and yells "DEE DEE DEE!" at the end and makes millions of dollars. A lot of people like to complain that his name isn't really Carlos Mencia (his real name's Ned Holness and he's a legal US Citizen), but I still think he's a good performer, he just needs to come up with his own material.
