I actually agree with KillerWolf here. I can understand it when people don't appreciate fine art cinema. Sometimes I see movies which I think are trying too hard to be artistic and dislike them for it. Sometimes I see movies which are stupid and pretend to be clever (I really didn't like Napoleon Dynamite). People have different tastes. I really hate it when I see an ad for a movie, or we're watching one at school and people snap into this mode where anything stupid is entertaining.
My friend does this to me in the most annoying way. I've talked to him about writing a screenplay with me, because he is an extremely funny guy. He is actually rather brilliant if you ask me. As soon as we start talking about what we should do with our movie, I get all these stupid "have a guy fall into poop" comments from him, and it's like he knows no other way to create laughs in a movie.
It really upsets me when I see things which make me think "I can be funnier than that", but then people laugh at it. I guess it's kind of a jealousy mixed with an egotistical sense of superiority. Either way, I can empathise with what KW is saying.
I've only see one of Carlos Mencia's routines, and I must say I didn't laugh once. I'm not going to form an opinion of the guy based on that one show, but if his work is synonymous with that one, I think it's safe to say there are much better comedians out there.
