What's wrong with Carrot Top? |
|
Someone polled him as to be the Anti-Christ.
Granted, I haven't seen him on TV for a couple of years, but I saw him on Leno years ago and thought he was pretty funny.

1. I think he's just obnoxious enough to get under a lot of people's skin. |

I get the same vibes from Conan O'Brien..
Maybe it's the tall, pasty whiteness, and all that garishly red hair..:shrug:
But then I don't care much for Gallagher either.. :shrug:

4. I know a woman who dated Carrot Top |
|
She described the date as "weird" and that the stand up persona is more like a personality rather than a persona.

32. Maybe he can redefine his act and come back as Kumquat. |
|
Kumquats are funnier than tomatos which are funnier than carrots.

Prop comedians are the worst! Nothing sadder and yet disgustingly magnetic than watching a prop comedian bomb, which is all the time. Oh, notice how is biceps got larger when he started pushing for AT&T? :puke:

23. Hey, don't be dissing Gallagher!!! |
|
He wasn't JUST a prop comic. He made realistic social commentary on American life. And I thought he was really funny, too. You have to watch a lot of his old shows to truely appreciate his work.
And to those who thought he was a Repuke: He hated Reagan with a passion, and he dissed EVERY president since the 60's. From Kennedy on up. He really hated Nixon, and he thought that the Clinton BJ fiasco was a waste of time.

Prop comedy is the second lowest form of comedy known to man, second only to bloopers/practical joke shows.

Perhaps because he... - is a talentless hack? - stole the ACA award from Bill Hicks in 1993? - has repackaged Gallagher's act for the even more witless? - almost makes Jay Leno seem amusing? - can only find an audience in US television? - puts the memory of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor to shame? - is a corporate whore and phone company shill?
Or were you looking for unbiased answers? ;) Sorry, I can't stand the little tosser.

The concept is, he's a comedian who's not funny.

He's so phony, it's immediately painful, in an agonizingly stressful sort of way.

He's insane. He's absurd. I like him even when he's on those 1-800-collect (or whatever they are) commercials.

That's all. I don't think he's evil, just not funny.

he's like nails on a chalk board. I for one would like every candidate to have an opinion on carrot top on his issues page.

I`ve been wakeboarding on his lake and he was in my boat riding and hanging with pros and scrubs alike.
He is allot of fun to be around, I thought. :shrug:

Perhaps you can suggest that he turn wakeboarding into a full-time hobby? As in, the sort of all-consuming passion that prevents him from ever, ever, ever, ever trying to be funny in public again.
