Carlos Mencia Will Steal Your Heart, Jokes, Will To Live In New Bud Light Ads
Comedian Famous person Carlos Mencia is set to star in a Bud Light commercial that will air during the Super Bowl. We’re laughing so hard we’re crying! Except without the laughing part!:
Who could forget [Ed. note: No one. Ever.] how Mencia burst on to the Super Bowl scene last year in a brilliant spot from Latinworks in Austin, Texas. That spot had the comedian at the head of a classroom filled with foreigners as he attempted to teach his eager pupils the finer points of ordering a Bud Light in various distinct American dialects. Mencia’s mastery of the dialects, together with the wonderfully bizarre foreigners’ attempts to mimic him, made for a commercial that was genuinely funny.
We won’t give away the punch lines to any of the commercials being eyed for Anheuser-Busch’s Super Bowl list, but suffice it to say the new Mencia spot, “Language of Love,” is set in a bar instead of the classroom, which allows for some shapely additions to the visuals, even as the spot does a fine job of referencing at least one of the funniest aspects of last year’s spot.
We’ll give away the punchline gladly: Carlos says “beaner” and then comments on how taxi drivers talk all funny. We’d call for a Bud Light boycott if it didn’t seem like people were already on that.

This is a far cry from “Real Men of Genius.”

Thank God the creative minds at Latin Works finally mined the previously untapped territory of beer hos and ethnic jokes.

No real Latinos are watching futbol americano, anyway. So, it doesn’t matter what Ned Holness — eh, I mean Carlos Mencia — says on TV.

Have you been to Texas? Puros chicanos love the fuckin Vaqueros, man. And don’t tell them they’re not real Latinos.

Stereotypes latinos- Not all Latino eat tacos, It sucks that’s the image Anglos and Blacks in this County have of us. That why a majority of us here in Miami can’t identify with Mexicans!
