Carlos Mencia Continues Streak of Unfunny Racial Jokes

(Los Angeles)—Carlos Mencia, the famed Hispanic stand-up and star of Comedy Central’s vastly popular Mind of Mencia, continued his streak of painfully unfunny jokes that reinforce racial stereotypes earlier this week when his show lumbered through yet another humorless episode.
Mencia attempted to justify his program’s appeal to the lowest human denominator.
“See, I’m a beaner, and my audience is a bunch of honkies and niggas and jews,” Mencia explained as he counted a stack of freshly minted hundreds that towered on his dressing room desk. “So if we can’t laugh at ourselves, and all of our obvious differences…DIT DA DEHHH. That’s the sound I make, like, thirteen times per show—I mock retards, too.”
Tonya Furling, an executive at Comedy Central, did her best to justify Mencia’s lack of style, insight, and talent.
“Comedy Central would love to have a show starring this generation’s Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, or George Carlin,” Furling remarked while adjusting her stockings. “And we had that with Dave Chappelle, until he went tribal and decided to have integrity. So now we have this pudgy ass-clown Mencia, who really seems to connect with the convict and preteen demographics.”
