Bile Fascination: Despite being considered by many as the worst show to ever air on Comedy Central, the show obtain pretty good ratings throughout it run, most likely from said negative reception.
Mis-blamed: The show had a bit of a reputation for allegedly being the replacement for Chappelle's Show. In reality, the show was greenlit and already well into production before Chappelle's Show was cancelled. Whether Comedy Central promoted it as such afterwards is another story though.
Overshadowed by Controversy: The show itself nowadays isn't so much remembered for its content, but rather as a lightning rod for Carlos Mencia's various controversies, as he hasn't had much of a mainstream career since this show. First it was revealed that he was actually born in Honduras to a Mexican mother and a German father despite a lot of his jokes being about Mexican culture. Then he went through a large number of plagiarism accusations for his comedy, which didn't help either. To date, he hasn't starred in another television show and hasn't had a new comedy special come out since 2011.
Carlos is infamous for plagiarising better comedians. Many of his harshest critics dislike him and this show because of him ripping off other comedians.
Mind of Mencia would endure criticism like this too. To cite one example, Mencia's "Video Game Hell" skit was almost an exact copy of "Grand Theft Auto in Real Life" from Chappelle's Show, the only difference being Dave filmed on a regular street and Mencia used a lot of green-screen effects.
