Mencia makes jokes about Asians, whites, Arabs, and African Americans, but he rarely says anything that makes the viewer cringe. Somehow, the manic comic makes the person he's making fun of feel he's in on the joke. In one segment, Mencia brings a metrosexual-type male audience member on stage, orders him not to speak, and tells the man to dance. Mencia then asks the audience to decide whether the man is gay or foreign. He's neither, but with the help of the good-natured participant, Mencia makes a telling point that looks often are deceiving and that we as a society are all too happy to jump to the wrong conclusions. --Jae-Ha Kim

Customer Reviews of Mind of Mencia - Uncensored Season 1
Right On Carlos tells it like it is. That is all there is to it. If you can't laugh at yourself, then dont watch this DVD, it ain't for you. <
> <
>Carlos is about making us take a long look at ourselves and then each other. He warns right up front that he will offend. He is an equal opportunity offender. And I love it. <
> <
>Thank you Carlos, for making people think. That is what it is really all about. If more people listened to him, this world would probably be a better place. <

Possibly Chappelle's Successor
I'm sorry, but Dave Chappelle set the standard for this type of show, that being stand-up/skit show that skates on the edge of the line of obscene, and Carlos Mencia just borrowed from Chappelle's brilliant idea. Fortunately, though, Mencia does more than enough to set himself apart from Chappelle's Show to make this at least feel somewhat unique. And not only that, but Carlos Mencia is one of the better comedians out today, so using a tried and true formula with a proven comedian promises a good show.

>And this show is fricken hilarious. Carlos's constant racism does nothing to offend and everything to amuse. I kind of felt during the whole thing that everything is a joke with Mencia, and the fact that he makes fun of himself more often than he does others is probably what does this. And the street skits he does are great, where he basically goes out and spreads his form of comedy while also enlightening us on the common racial stereotypes in the funniest of ways. He also ends ever show with a skit of sorts, usually with Carlos dressing up as some strange character and performing in before the studio audience.

>I was disappointed with the DVD release, though. The special features were all that great. The bloopers were over way to quick, no one really needs to see a making of a show like this, and I haven't had the chance to see the deleted scenes but if they were deleted then there wasa probably a good reason for it. And now for the audio commentary: I don't speak Spanish, and though I know that's probably the comedy of it, you just can't get anything out of this unless you speak Spanish.

<
>With the exception of the special features, though, this a good and inexpensive collection that goes great with Chappelle's Show fans. If you like edgy comedy and aren't easily offended, then pick this up. The uncensored version makes this a little funnier than what it was when it was TV.
Top Notch Comedian
Carlos Mencia is being insulted a good bit for his racial comments and shrude humor. Well, you want to know something? THAT'S THE POINT! Jeez-luweez! Let's make a list of comedians who actually went as low as Mencia(possibly lower):
<

<

<
>Adam Carolla(said how the "black man" was trying to be the "white man" during Katrina)
<
>
<
>John Stewart's co-hosts(said that no matter what, the white will always be up)
<
>
<
>Steven Colbert(said the Jews need to sit down for Christians)
<
>
<
>David Chapelle(don't get me started, please)

>What is the difference between them and Carlos? They're not being bashed by politically stiff freaks who call him a phoney because they don't want to know the truth! Heck, I'm white, and I couldn't stop laughing when he flicked off a white guy because of the articles saying that a white guy taking things is collecting, while a black guy taking things is looting! Mencia is popular because he doesn't fear critics and mobs. He actually speaks up. He's like Matt and Trey of South Park, only he's not a cartoon.
