For many months, I hoped that Comedy Central had finally done it. I thought they had rid me of Carlos Mencia. His comedy is an abomination, and that's if you use the word comedy extremely loosely. It's even worse than Tim and Eric's Awesome Show - Great Job!. Yes, somehow someone managed to be less funny than Tim and Eric. Carlos Mencia is a comedy void, sucking in galaxies and sponsors with no end in sight. It got bad enough during his last season that I couldn't watch Comedy Central without leaving it on mute for the fear of seeing one of his commercials.
The only way I can think of to describe his show is to imagine a world where scientists found a way to transmit cancer directly through a television into the unsuspecting eyeballs of an entire nation. His humor relies on hamfisted "racial observations" that lack the insight of Dave Chapelle's work and poor skits that only end with the viewer projectile vomiting in the bathroom.
The fact that his show was the "replacement" for Chapelle's Show is a tragedy.
