A friend of mine used to do stand-up around Boston, and to hear him tell it, Mencia's kind of humor is what gets you gigs for the first couple of years. The crew that shows up at Dick's or the Aku-Aku doesn't want Cosby, they barely want Kinnison. They just want to hear the word "fuck". A lot. Everything I've seen from Mencia reminds me of the guys I used to have to watch warm up the crowd before my friend went on.
