In a shocking move, The White House recently approached disgraced comedian Carlos Mencia for a role in the U.S. government. The proposed role would be final arbiter over what can be nationally considered funny.

The move came as a surprise on many fronts, among them being Mencia's disgraced position in the comedy world, his Latin American heritage, and the institution of this position in the first place.

Responding to accusations that he placed Mencia in this position in an effort to pander to the Latino population, Sean Spicer stated: "The President thinks the he's funny. Very smart and very funny. His kind of guy. Mr. Mencia was not asked because he's Mexican."

The Honduran-born comedian's only comment regarding his nomination was in response to questions regarding his racial tokenization by the administration: "The Latino population hates me. That would not be a good move, if that was the intention. I'm an embarrassment. Or at least, I used to be."

Mencia came under immense fire throughout his now defunct career for racism, inappropriate comments surrounding Hurricane Katrina, and most notably plagiarizing other comedians' material and lying about it when confronted.

These accusations came to a head in 2011, when his career is commonly identified to have ended. He is widely seen as the most hated comedian in comedy, both by audiences and fellow comedians.

When probed about the accusations of Mencia's racism, plagiarism, and lying, Spicer simply responded, "Like I said: he's our kind of guy."
