What's wrong with Carrot Top?

[Hawkeye-X]

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.

[Superfly]

2. Sorry, that was me...

He just really creeps me out.

Can't sleep, Carrot Top will eat me...

[_NorCal_D_]

20. LOL.

I was just joking around when I voted.
:)

[SoCalDem]

3. He just looks odd

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:

[LincolnMcGrath]

33. Thank you for adding to my son`s anxiety

My oldest son has orange-red hair, Only a few light freckles though.

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.

[zekeson]

5. I think maybe that is it

He was funny. Once. After that the schtick gets old, then jsut kinda creepy dumb. My take.

:shrug:

32. Maybe he can redefine his act and come back as Kumquat.

Kumquats are funnier than tomatos which are funnier than carrots.

6. All prop comics are anti-christs

Just look at Gallagher.

[Supply Side Jesus]

11. AMEN

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:

17. Welcome to DU Supply Side Jesus!

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.

[Paragon]

7. He won the Best New Comic award the year Bill Hicks died.

That's what's wrong.

[SweetZombieJesus]

10. Damn right

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

[Ignis]

8. Ick.

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.

18. Wow, Ignus, great (biting) post! And . . .

welcome to DU!

:toast:

[Ignis]

30. Cheers, Skip.

But that was pretty defanged, I'd say. I'm trying to be civilised.

[Qutzupalotl]

9. He's a concept comic.

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

[mojowork_n]

13. Everything

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

[Ignis]

14. Truly.

And thank you for pointing out one way in which he's amazingly successful.

[Skittles]

12. I.....................................ER..................................

I'M F***ING SPEECHLESS.

[paradisiac]

15. I like Carrot Top

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

[skip fox]

16. Not a THING wrong with him if

this is 1982 and you just had a lobotomy. Otherwise . . .

[ploppy]

19. It's the eyebrows.

He needs a new eyebrow designer. They make him look really weird.

[noiretextatique]

21. it's all the makeup

:shrug: what's up with THAT?

[SmileyBoy]

22. He's just an unfunny attention boy.

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

[WWW]

24. me too n/t

Sorry, I am trying to boost my post numbers,...I can't seem to get beyond double digits.

[Mass_Liberal]

25. for one

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.

[LincolnMcGrath]

26. He is a nice guy

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:

[trumad]

27. The dude works out in the same YMCA as I do...

in Winter Park, FL... I've gotta say he's the weirdest looking human being I've ever seen.... It's almost as if he had cosmetic surgery....

[noiretextatique]

28. he does seem strangely

michealjacksonesque to me :shrug:

[Ignis]

29. Wakeboarding, yes.

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.

[The Backlash Cometh]

31. I think he needs to paint some eyebrows on.

It bothers me.
