Urban Dictionary read my mind Rants
I hate when I leave Comedy Central on and suddenly Mind of Mencia comes on. That show is such a total piece of crap. Every single show involves Carlos Mencia doing about 6 gimmicks and a bunch of racial jokes. But as I was considering plunging into a rant about why the show sucks, I realized many people have already done the job for me.

The best:
The following paragraph is specifically for Carlos...

Yelling a joke doesn't make it funnier. Doing little twitches while telling a joke doesn't make it funnier. Pointing at the camera or various people in the audience doesn't make it funnier. Laughing hysterically at your own jokes doesn't make them funnier. Relying on stereotypes for 99.8% of your material doesn't make you funnier. Having your own show doesn't make you funny. Your not funny, nor are you by any means a respected comedian, but rather, you are a commercialized joke, a fat vulture feeding on the remains of the Chappelle show. Perhaps when you take the time to construct a joke coherently, rather than fall back on "in-yo-face"-it y, will you truly know what it means to be a comedian.
Carlos, there's nothing like perpetuating racial stereotypes under the guise of "comedy." Granted, you're not the only comedian that does it, but you're the only one that misses the whole comedy part. Oh yeah, someone pass on that "yelling a joke doesn't make it funnier" advice to Joe Rogan too.

    I like the new format, but give me more stuff to read. Especially early in the day. You know, before the 8 time zones get to me.

    Also, I'm the first to comment in 20. LAIM.
