Carlos Mencia: Not for the Easily Offended (2005) Reviews

  Carlos Mencia, Not for the Easily Offended is a hilarious commentary on America and the human condition. Mencia is a semi Socratic laugh at all Americans and their silly habit of generalizing and categorizing each other. As well as our intentional ignorance of our own hypocrisy takes main stage. While Mencia's premise is that there are stupid people everywhere, he does bring the crème of the crop to the stage. If you can't laugh at yourself, you have no right to laugh at anyone else. This is not intellectual comedy and I have a feeling Carlos would not perform subtle intellectual comedy well. He is much better performing his bashing style with a free reign. Good comedy with plentiful bad language and suggestiveness. Good work Carlos.

  So i didn't think this hour segment was really that funny. It wasn't over offensive; parts were just slow and boring. He likes to ramble. And he repeated jokes. Maybe my taste in comics is fast paced and to the point. I almost fell asleep twice. This would have been a great stand-up to edit down to a "comic remix" of about 5-7 of his jokes that were original, honest, and hilarious; then i think i would have enjoyed it more. Want honest funny, see Richard Jeni. *** Spoiler part *** : After the third time Mancia described his parents disciplining techniques. I started feeling bad for the mike stand and equipment manager.
