NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO![/Vader]
Well, good for Charlie Murphy, at the least. I wonder when we might find out the reason behind this?

No idea. Rumor has it, Dave just couldn't handle the pressure of running such a successful show. Read somewhere that Dave said he didn't want the show to eventually become mediocre and lame.

Are you kidding me? Mind of Mencia is shit, it's him spouting his bullshit opinion on shit topics.

Yeah, that whole useless item bit was so fucking weak. I could find use for all of those items he killed (except the pager). Although Mini-Galagher was a nice touch. I do like the show, though.
Personally, I'm a fan of Chappelle's Show. It had some great bits. Everything from the Mad Real World to the Jedi Child Molestation charges.
And C8, that's because you didn't get any of the jokes.

Yeah, I have to admit some parts were funny, but it got old after awhile...

You just hate black people. Black Bush was fucking hilarious, the Time Haters were hilarious, everything was great. The only part I didn't like was the music, but hey, whatever.

When will you learn that it's only yourself that you hate, Crazy? When?

Of course I hate myself, is there reason not to?
*shrugs*
I didn't watch it regularly, you can slam my ignorance for that. (I've stopped watching Comedy Central a long while ago.)

When you see 14 year old's doing the Rick James bit, you know the show is coming to an end.
Also, you're just too much of a pussy to enjoy Mencia.

I don't see that as a negative thing, Raz. That was a HUGE cultural impact. I doubt Carlos Mencia will have anything that come remotely close to the impact that Dave Chappelle has left. While Mind of Mencia (like most Comedy Central shows) might end up in the trash bin and reruning on daytime 2:00 PM EST time slots, Chappelle's Show, like other successful Comedy Central shows such as Reno 911 and South Park, will keep their regular 10:00-10:30 PM time slots, even in reruns.
Now, not to say Mind of Mencia will be cancelled, it's just that it's not cemented like Chappelle's Show was.
By the way, I like Mind of Mencia. Hell, I liked the Comedy Central Presents Carlos Mencia from three years ago (What, you no have History Channel?). Just that unlike Chappelle's Show, it's not a phenomenal hit spawning numerous catch phrases and merchandising.

However, that is what makes Mencia much better. I mean it is pretty plain to fucking see that Chappelle got sick of all the catch phrases he created. Carlos has the ability to be hilarious but not say anything memorable, which is the best way to go. Chapelle has had his 15 minutes, Carlos is going to have more minutes because he won't burn out as quickly.

I didn't even think that the Rick James episode was that outstanding. Funny yes, but not as good as Time Haters or the Prince Basketball episode.
