Netflix says people here in Phoenix rent him all the time. I personally find his comedy obnoxious and racist, but apparently I really do rent movies as if I am from Baltimore.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This plantar shit sucks. Thanks for the tips.
If I don't get a handle on this, and quickly, I can't even teach krav.

Now tagless for your comfort.
The guys I know that like him have rather immature senses of humor.
His name isn't actually Carlos Mencia... it's Ned Holdis. He's from somewhere in the northern mid-west. He's an image he has sold to do well with the hispanic Californians.
His mother's name is Mencia (Holness was his Honduran father's name). He's obviously latino. Kid Rock was raised in a rich, white Detroit suburb, not a trailer park. And Dave Chappell spent half his childhood in Yellow Springs, OH.
I think a lot of artists find a schtick and make it pay off.

Dave Chappelle is who he pretends to be in his default standup image.

I think that's what standup is. I just don't happen to like that particular shtick.(Which word now reminds me of somebody Mom worked with who sang a particular Barry White lyric as "Quitting just ain't my stick," because she didn't get the Yiddish.)

Of course, my shtick may be overstating the extent to which I don't fit with the local hooples.

I believe that. I loved his interview on Inside the Actor's Studio. I think he's smart and funny. His parents are both professors, aren't they? I know his dad taught at Antioch.
I don't watch Mencia and really only know what I see on the endless ads on Comedy Central.

Heh. That or wicked smart commentary on life, death and crime.

Dave's Inside The Actor's studio was hilarious. I think he was just as confused as I was that he was asked to do it. It is one of my favorite episodes by far.
