Mind of Mencia was a 2005–08 Comedy Central sketch comedy show starring comedian Carlos Mencia. The skits were usually geared toward controversial topics. Mind of Mencia can be seen as a Spiritual Successor to Chappelle's Show.
This series provides examples of:
- Charlie and the Chocolate Parody: "Guilt Away Island" which was an amusement park-like place meant to help white people feel less guilty about all the horrible stuff their ancestors did to other races by making them do things like pick cotton candy out of a field in a way similar to the how the slaves did or going on "rides" that made them swim through shark-infested waters or ride in the trunk of a car crossing the border.
- No Periods, Period: Averted with an iPod no less. ("Fergie, Panic! at the Disco... dude, your ipod isn't broken... its on its period!") Also, one of the cartoon shorts based on Carlos own childhood had him learn about periods when his sister got her first one.
- Surrounded by Idiots: A huge part of Mencia's comedy is ranting about how stupid different people are.
