I've never been impressed by Mencia at all.
Case in point: He had a skit on his show poking fun at all the different locales for "CSI" spinoffs, and he did one that was "CSI: Kentucky" and he made fun of rednecks.
It was outdated, and felt like a ripoff of Jeff Foxworthy, who was never that funny to begin with.
The other "CSI" incarnations were just as lame. It feels like people like him as a result of "he's cool becaus he's angry and tellin' it like it is!" but anger doesn't necessarily mean it's funny. Look at somebody like Zach Galifianakis, he's really chill, but he's hilarious.

If you could really get to know someone and know that they weren't lying to you, then you would know the world was real. Because you could agree on things, you could compare notes. That must be why people get married or make Art. So they'll be able to really know something and not go insane.
