I was wondering what you meant by "of our time", thinking that maybe you're a teenager or something. then I look and see you're actually older than I am. wow. that's a bold statement you make there. off the top of my head, I could think of probably a dozen comedians of our time that are way better than Mencia.
Bill Hicks? Sam Kinison? Robert Schimmel? Chris Rock? Dave Attell? Richard Pryor? George Carlin? Eddie Murphy? Artie Lange? David Cross? Lisa Lampanelli? Rodney Carrington? Gabriel Byrne?
nope, Mencia is not the best comedian of our time. not by a long long shot.
Thank YOU for saying Rodney Carrington. God that man is by far my most favorite comedian. I saw him when he came to Rockford, IL last year and I will see him anytime he comes to Illinois, Guaranteed.
And as for whoever mentioned Katt Williams, He's my very next favorite comedian after rodney. Nobody can make me laugh, snort, or choke on whatever i'm eating or drinking hard than the two of them.
I will admit Mencia makes me laugh a lot. From what i've seen of his stand-up it's all the same stuff. (I say this about Dane Cook as well) But Mencia's show does bring the laughter.
