DEED DE DEEEEEEEEEED, HELL YEA.
Mencia was a quick success at such venerated LA stand-up venues as The Comedy Store and The L.A. Cabaret. This led to appearances on The Arsenio Hall Show and Buscando Estrellas, where he attained the title "International Comedy Grand Champion." Then, in 1994, Mencia was chosen to host HBO's latino comedy showcase Loco Slam.Mencia followed up Loco Slam by hosting Funny is Funny! on Galavision in 1998. He would continue to do stand-up, including a very successful tour in 2001 with Freddy Soto and Pablo Francisco, "The Three Amigos." Mencia also did two half-hour specials on HBO, the second of which won him a CableACE Award for Best Stand-Up Comedy Special. After the release of his first comedy album by Warner Records, Take A Joke America, Mencia performed his break-out performance on Comedy Central Presents in 2002.By the time his career began to take off in the early 2000s, Mencia was also working as an actor doing guest appearances in the television shows Moesha and The Shield, and starring in the film Outta Time and the animated show The Proud Family.At the end of 2004, Comedy Central began talks with Carlos Mencia for his own program, shortly after their renewal of comedian Dave Chappelle's contract for Chappelle's Show. In March of 2005, prior to Chappelle's April 28, 2005 departure from the production of Chappelle's Show and subsequent trip to Africa, Comedy Central announced Mencia's own half-hour comedy show, Mind of Mencia. The show mixed Mencia's stand up comedy with sketch comedy, the same basis for the highly popular Chappelle's Show. The show achieved moderate success in its first season and was brought back for a second season in the spring of 2006, becoming Comedy Central's second highest rated program, and again for a third season that summer.
In a 2005 interview by Howard Stern, comedian George Lopez claimed that he and Mencia were involved in a physical altercation at a comedy club. Lopez alleged that Mencia appropriated 13 minutes of Lopez's material, without permission, for Mencia's HBO comedy special. Lopez told Stern, "It's not really a feud, I mean, I think I won." Shortly afterwards, comedian Joe Rogan wrote a post on his website publicly accusing Mencia of being a plagiarist, alleging that Mencia stole jokes from a number of comedians. Mencia responded to the accusations while being interviewed on Tucson's The Frank Show, stating that Joe Rogan had fabricated these allegations out of jealousy. When asked why he was being targeted among other comedians, he said that other comedians "are not as funny" as he is. On his own website, Mencia denied accusations of plagiarism, arguing that the material in question was too generic to be attributed to any single comedian. A slide show on the Maxim web site recently named Mencia as the 12th worst comedian of all time,although television viewers themselves had voted him into 2nd place of the top 25 stand up comics in Comedy Central's 2006 "Stand Up Showdown".

He's pretty funny, but sometimes he comes off a little mean with the race jokes! Even though he makes jokes about every single race... even his own. Lol.

Genius?? I don't know about that.
He uses allot of common sense in his material that we can all relate to. His delivery and timing is genius.
Funny guy.

He's funny but he's also very annoying. So now, I would not call him a genius.

I think he might be the funniest comedian out there today. I'm been looking for someone to hook onto for awhile after Sam Kinison died. I loved that guy.

No, not really, he just uses his jokes to make it seem like he isnt a retard.
But if you meant if he is funny, hell yeah.
