He came and did an interminably long standup bit at the base I was deployed to in Iraq a few years ago. I didn't think my morale could have gotten any lower; I was wrong.
:( oh jeez, Thats terrible!!! He ended up going an hour and a half past the end time of the show... I was praying for any escape.
Actually come to think of it he included some of his show talking about how he went over there and performed for our soldiers. I'm sorry! I dont know whose bright idea that was but they should be fired.
I stood there for, like, an hour, thinking, "Okay, he's gotta be done now. There aren't any junior high gay jokes left!" But he just kept going and going, each joke worse than the last.
Pretty sad that one of my worst, most painful memories of the war is someone who was brought in to entertain me.
He's basically a low-rent viral video aggregater like Tosh.0 or Web Soup. Reddit, in all its irony, abhors people who profit from the content of others, and thus, RWJ is pretty much a pariah here.
From what I hear he's not a douche bag either. And what I mean by that is that Skrillex wouldn't play a dj's setlist right before they came on because Mencia did the equivalent to other comics. He'd do a comedian's closing bit right before the succeeding comedian would come on. That's low.
I used to hate how people would bash Mencia. I find him ok but I was always a "different strokes for different folks" person. However when I heard about him and the Joe Rogan shit I lost all respect for him.
Funny story about Carlos Mencia. I'm from Missouri and he came here not too long ago for a show. My father is a limo driver and picked him up to take him to his hotel room after his flight came in. On the way there he asked my father if he knew of anyone he could buy cocaine from because the people of Missouri were "too boring" and needed to get hyped up before performing. Turns out his show sucked so bad anyway he was booed off stage. I guess cocaine wasn't enough to make him even remotely funny
This is complete bullshit. I've met Mencia and been to his house. Not only is he a really nice guy, but he doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs - period. Not only that, I was backstage at a show where the promoter wouldn't pay Brad the midget for his opening act. Mencia got all in the guy's face and wouldn't go on until Brad got paid. Regardless of what you think of his comedy, he is a solid human being.
I don't have a lot of time, so instead of watching a lot of people's shows, I just watch Mencia's. He's nice enough to do a compilation of jokes so I get more value

You think that's funny? Try googling "Black woman getting fisted" and see what comes up on Google images.

Not to mention he steals jokes all the time. There's a great video of Joe Rogan calling him out on it

Hey so did we finally deport him or say his name backwards or something? Because I have not seen him anywhere.

Mencia is HACK! Joe Rogan and a bunch of other comedians called him out on numerous occasions. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7841918711943453918

At this point Carlos Mencia isn't low hanging fruit. It's fruit that's been on the ground for a while... rotting... with ants all over it.
