The return of Mencia

As a New York Giants fan I’m eagerly looking forward to the Super Bowl on February 3rd even if the odds are not in the team's favor. Aside from the game, I’ll be sure to keep the TV on mute during Bud Light’s ads since one of them will feature comedian Carlos Mencia.

According to an article in the Chicago Sun-Times:

He's baaaaaack!!! Did you think -- even for one second -- he wouldn't be? Gifted [ed. as in idiot savant] Hispanic comedian Carlos Mencia is poised again to steal the year's really big ad show in a new commercial brewery giant Anheuser-Busch is prepping for the Super Bowl of Advertising on Feb. 3…

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.

Mencia was featured in this Bud Light commercial during last year’s big game where miraculously he did not scream at the camera or yell any of his cringe worthy catchphrases. (Ha ha ha! Foreigners learning English! Dee-Dee-Dee!)

Then again, there have been worse commercials with overrated comedians.
