Talk:Mind of Mencia

message: Is there any evidence to back the statement "The show is among Comedy Central's most popular"  up?  I enjoy the show, but the List of episodes link shows that only re-runs of the first season have been shown for the past two months.  Also, when new shows were produced, there was only one new one every week.  Compare that to The Daily Show or the Colbert Report, which seem to be commited to producing a new show every weekday, and one would think that Comedy Central has decided to spend signifcantly more money on those shows.  --Interiot 14:31, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question. "Most popular" might be going too far, but it is true that it is a popular show. Can you get a ratings report for the Mind of Mencia? Dposse 17:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Most popular? 

message: I removed this category because, unless I am unaware of another use for this term, this program has nothing to do with either blackface or minstrel shows. --Do Not Talk About Feitclub (contributions) 08:19, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Blackface Minstrelsy" 

message: The article is in need of some seriosu clean-up. It is almost entirely composed of quotes from his soe, and pretty much an entire skit was added to the quotes section. Shouldn't all of that be moved to Wikiquote and then information on the actual show itself be expanded? Senner 02:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seeeeriously. I love trivia sections and stuff, but this one is terrible. It just repeats stuff about the sketches.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 16:36, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Can somebody please verify whether or not Joseph Mencia has appeared in episodes 205 and 206 and please add the appropiate appearances/exclusions to the triva section? Please add that he has appeared in episode 207. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.191.115.198 (talk) 
There has been an edit war going on over Joseph Mencia.  People keep changing it between him being Carlos' cousin and his brother.  They have both stated that they are brothers, I'm not quite sure where the cousin thing arose from.  I've yet to find any hard evidence that he is actually Carlos' cousin, but the edits have said that Carlos has admitted this himself.--DavidFuzznut 21:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Joseph Mencia

message: On the Mind of Mencia article it says "Despite the controversy, Mind of Mencia is Comedy Central's second highest rated program (behind South Park).". On The Colbert Report article in the part titled Reception it says "The Daily Show, which itself has Comedy Central's second-largest viewership.". One of them is wrong. I'm not sure which one though.NeoJustin 22:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, viewership is different from ratings. Viewership is more like the population of people who have seen a certain program, while ratings are more like percentages of the total households who are watching television in a certain time period. --Oskar Mayer Nguyener 06:02, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Second Highest Rated Show??

message: Pretty soon we should make a guest star column, as a good number have been on.
I could have sworn I saw the real Tom Cruise in the MI: Threesome skit, but it was only for a second, so I am unsure.
Gene Simmons has been on the show focused on what women want.~for sure
Bobby Lee, who has been mentioned under Trivia, also with Jamie Kennedy and Tracy Morgan ~for sure
Tony Hawk-also under trivia~ for sure
Jamie Kennedy-the butt pirate skit~for sure
Tracy Morgan~ for sure
Dave Attell in the hooker skit.
btw I was watching Mencia while making this, so these I type "for sure" on are there.
His Wife~ is it necassary?
Joseph~nescassary?
A group of old people on todays world discussion.~necessary?
A choir seeing dee-dee-dee~necessary?
Lets get some more in, I might do it soon though.

thread_title:  Guest Stars 

message: Dee Dee Dee and the criticism.  Carlos has responeded to that especially well in the Dee Dee Dee awards, where he had someone come in who had Cerebral palsy and explainded its for people lacking the common sense, like in the article here.  It also showed the man with Cerebral palsy calling other Dee Dee Dee's.  Someone who has seen this episode recently, and writes some good articles add this in.

message: The names of the sketches aren't really all that important to the show, as it doesn't help to "describe" the show. DiamondDragon contact 17:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Must there be a "List of sketches on Mind of Mencia?" 

message: The number of the bullitens in the trivia I'm going to erase are: 1,5,6,7,9,10,11. 
My Reasons are:
1)There's reference to Josephs number of appearences on the show. This doesn't matter.
5)Obviously the fact that the fictional Ghost of Johnnie Cochran is in the show is irrelevant to the article.
6)The names of sketches performed more than once is irrelevant.
7)Using his real name is irrelevant.
9)The puppets from "No Strings Attached" info is not needed and irrelevant.
10)Gabriel Iglesias is already mentioned in the Occasional/Guest appearances section.
11)This explains the joke Carlos' skit was making and it is irrelevant.
Trivia is frowned upon in Wikipedia. Generally, I like trivia, but this trivia is just pathetic.[[User:SxeFluff--SxeFluff (talk) 06:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Trivia sucks 

message: This section sucks. I have a couple of reasons to point out the flaws of this section.  1)Judge Carlos: doesn't have any words describing this character.  2)Carlosaurrus rex: basically a playback of a skit performed by Carlos.  3)Johnny Chochran: no complaints, expect for the fact that it's way too short of a section. And thats too big of a problem.  4) Punji: very explanative and better than the other sections (no big accomplishment), but it contains a link to an editing page. Why? I want some feed back on how to improve this area of the article (although the entire article does suck and it could use some MAJOR adjustments) or I'm erasing this section because it is not helping the article.
