SUPER BOWL PROMISES LOTS OF MENCIA
01.22.08
another round of Bud Light commercials.
Gifted [sic] Hispanic comedian Carlos Mencia is poised again to steal the year's really big ad show in a new commercial brewery giant Anheuser-Busch is prepping for the Super Bowl of Advertising…
[S]uffice it to say the new Mencia spot, "Language of Love," is set in a bar instead of the classroom, which allows for some shapely additions to the visuals, even as the spot does a fine job of referencing at least one of the funniest aspects of last year's spot.
Ugh. Just reading the words "gifted" and "funny" in the same paragraph as "Carlos Mencia" makes me want to take a Louisville Slugger to a litter of Golden Retriever puppies. Seriously, if you actually think last year's ad (watch it at FanHaus if you hate yourself) is funny, I want you to throw yourself out of the nearest window. Don't open it first: you deserve the additional pain of dozens of glass cuts as you fall to your death.

Carlos Baerga is a far superior comedic Carlos.
"Gifted" might be a charitable way of saying he steals 70% of his material from other comics.
Gifts, thefts … same thing.
I apologize to all of you. My hometown newspaper called Carlos Mencia 'talented'.
I have never felt such shame.
Matt choose Carlos Mencia over the Pats-Jags game and had the nerve to call it 'comedy'.
Fortunately I plan to be drunk.
I hear Tony and Carlos have been fucking ever since the wedding.
I watch the Superbowl for the halftime
wardrobe malfunctionsperformances or until I run out of Scotch which ever comes first since I can never remember.I miss the Bud Bowl.
I genuinely find Mencia funny, but then I also find smashing puppies with a bat relaxing beyond measure.
Way to over-react Heath. you could just used the mute button like the rest of us.
I'll be joining Heath soon. I'm giving a new meaning to the term "Broke-back"
Fuck, now I'll have to factor this in when I pick my squares.
Why Ned Holness? He is neither Mexican nor funny. And besides, Mexicans drink Modelo not Bud Lite.
Lisa Kudrow really let herself go, no?
@DoucheNozzle
Mexicans do love some Tampico thougth. Letmetellya
I think Carlos is the Mexican word for Dane. Que triste!
@HHWK
Carlos is spanish for Charles, as in "Good Luck Chuck" or "Buena Seurte Carlos". Weird, huh?
The only people suprised by this probably have already forgotten the Eagles half-time extravaganza.
I am just surprised they didn't try to team him up with the "Where's the Beef" lady for some really fresh humor, but I think she may be dead. And it would be awkward for the corpse to get more laughs.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
"Gifted [sic]"
That's fucking hilarious.
It could be worse, they could have picked Dane Cook.
Even worse, both Dane and Carlos could be in the same commercial. Oh god, my widescreen plasma HD screen would explode.
That Bud Light commercial is the funniest thing he's ever done. Why must you shit upon the pinnacle of a man's career?
Screw this guy. they need to rip off the Ontario Lottery commercial. That's the funniest shit i've seen in years.
May a badger slowly crawl into his intestines. The well-explored bunghole is a given.
I have yet to meet a person who finds Carlos Mencia funny. He's "gifted" with the ability to silence a room with just one poorly delivered "joke". God help us all.
He's like a Mexican Jerry Lee Lewis, except he hasn't pocketed millions while claiming to cure a disease. Yet.
