Peter Boyle on Mind of Mencia

[aden_nak]

I'm not sure how many people here caught Peter Boyle (Frank Barone from Everybody Loves Raymond and Frankenstein's Monster from Mel Brook's Young Frankenstein) on Mind of Mencia the other night. Mencia has him on from time to time to offer cutting little quips about cliche cultural items. The video segment is up on their website and, I don't want to ruin it for you, but please do watch it to the end (there's a mean Bush dig a'coming, I promise). Mencia's show is very race-oriented, and goes to some of the most politically incorrect places on the comedic spectrum. And in a lot of ways, it's frat-boy humor or, at the very least, non-partisan sniping (though he is one of the few people I know that showed the Bush Middle Finger video on the air). But as far as I am concerned, when you can find that dismissive a joke about George Bush's voting base on a show like Mencia's, that speaks volumes about his popularity and credibility.

EDIT: In case they change the listing, it's the Bumper Sticker segment.

3. Carlos is one of my favorites

However, he is highly offensive. I think he crosses the line quite a bit, I am damn near impossible to offend and he even offends me sometimes. Yet, he's one of those guys who makes fun of everybody and pulls no punches. I can respect that, even if I don't agree with some of the things he says or does. The Boyle segment is a classic. You are right, that a comic on Comedy Central who is as offensive as Mencia can make fun of Bush in that manner with no backlash at all, does speak volumes on this administration's popularity and credibility.

4. If you haven't seen his No Strings Attached special, try to catch it.

Comedy Central runs it about thirty times a week, so it should be on for a while. He has an especially good "uncomfortable but true" segment in that special.
