In MIND OF MENCIA, stand-up comic Carlos Mencia entertains viewers with a hyperactive mix of stand-up and comedy sketches that riff on popular culture. Each episode begins with Mencia doling out a round of jokes to an audience seated cabaret-style before him. Then he joins a rotating cast of characters in several skits that poke fun at popular TV shows, current events, and celebrities. In one episode, for example, Mencia played the star of a show called The Serranos, which satirized HBO's The Sopranos and featured Hispanic hoods shooting each other with Uzis, falling down drunk, and gawking at pregnant pole dancers. (Mencia also made derogatory comments about "wetbacks" in the same episode, which came on the heels of Congress' failure to pass a highly touted immigration bill.)
