Tom and Lauren both happened to mention recently how Carlos Mencia is an unfunny, hateful ignoramus (I may be paraphrasing). Tom helpfully pointed me toward links suggesting that his real name is “Ned Holness” and that he’s not, in any technical sense of the word, even slightly Mexican. Also, the Fear Factor contingent believes that he steals his material, which is scary because if that’s how it sounds when he steals other people’s material, imagine how awful his own stuff must be. Anyway, I don’t have anything else to say but it’s been a while since I chimed in about how Carlos Mencia is just terrible and it’s insane that people keep throwing money at him to inflict his unique combination of bigotry and ham-handed “social commentary” on the world.
On the other hand, his Super Bowl commercial (in which he hilariously taught immigrants to say things and their accents were SO FOREIGN!) was his best work in years.
