Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached - Reviewed · Oct 20, 01:00 AM by Mind of Jencia
Recently we got our hands on a copy of Carlos Mencia’s new comedy DVD release entitled “Carlos Mencia: No Strings Attached: Live, Extended and Uncensored” and figured hey maybe some fans sitting on the fence about buying his release would like a review.
That and we were bored…
Anyways we put the Dvd in our player and the first thing I noticed while watching the comedy spots was just how effortless he pulled off the comedy, most people on stage sound like they invented the material in someones basement repeating it over and over until someone laughed but not Carlos Mencia, when he speaks it comes across as if he just walked on stage and started inventing new material off the top of his head.
Now my girlfriend generally doesn’t get into comedy very much but I noticed her laughing constantly throughout this DVD, later I asked her what about “No Strings Attached” she found so hilarious and she replied “I understood all the jokes”, thats when it hit me… He’s not just funny the content is 100% relateable to our own lives and its always accessible.
Just a word of warning to you fancy Widescreen HDTV folks, this DVD comes in full screen only, which is great for me but bad for you.
The sound quality was the usual Dolby Digital faire and you could always hear what he was saying.
My only compliant would be with the extras, rather then having some behind the scenes tour clips or interviews he chose to focus on his custom motorcycle and it really felt like an episode of American Chopper as they visited the garage it was made in etc.. Some fans will find that interesting but most won’t.
Anyways I would give it a definate two thumbs up!
