Huzzah! Carrot Top is coming to my local auditorium! I can’t imagine paying to see this guy. In fact, I’m surprised I don’t have to regularly pay NOT to see him. ---

You should stand outside the Auditorium, skinning carrots… or run away, fast either one, your choice. ---

I wonder how much the phone company’s business has declined that use him in their advertisements. It it possible to make money for a company by pissing off the customers with unbearable ads? ---

That’s almost as exciting as when I got to see Judy Tenuta for free in college. Heh – she’s funny with that accordian. :rolleyes: Those two and Sinbad should all tour together. ---

When I saw that guy on Politically Incorrect, he actually wasn’t that bad… even had a few good lines, although he was being himself; not doing his schtick. Still looked weird though - oh well, the guy’s doing something right in someone’s opinion to be able to make a living at it. ---

QUOTE/Oh boy! CARROT TOP is coming here!/QUOTE Is that a proclamation or a warning? Personally, I regard it in the same respect of someone announcing Typhoid is coming. A lot of screaming and running for the hills ---

Am I the only one that doesn’t hate Carrot Top? OK so the call-att ads are bugging the hell out of me latley. I’ve actually seen him perform twice (he used a few of the same gags he used the 1st time) but he did a lot of new stuff also. Now I know that his brand of humor isn’t for everyone but if you have not seen him perform, and you’re ready to have an hour or so of fun give him a shot. flame if you must… ---

Well, frankly, I’m happy to hear he’s visiting somewhere else. He’s coming here, and I was afraid it was a sign that this little corner of Indiana is about to drop straight through the earth’s crust into hell. But if he’s stopping by all these other places, then it must mean something else entirely. Unless Legomancer is from here. In which case I shouldn’t feel this false sense of security. Dammit. Only Carrot Top can inspire such fear in me. ---

I find Carrot Top an annoying idiot who does dumb commercials for AT&T because he’s got nothing better to do or because he needs to make some money. But that’s just my opinion so I don’t mean to pull any nasty strings. ---

Well, if anyone saw his appearance on the Weakest Link, it would be obvious that not only is he not funny, he’s a dolt as well. If you get voted off before Tom Arnold, you need Hooked on Phonics and a set of encyclopedias, as well as a kick in the ass. YMMV ---

Ninja, you aren’t the only one who likes Carrot Top. And if you want to get flames you should say it like this, “Carrot Top is smarter and funnier than Cecil Adams.” Now flame away. HUGS! Sqrl
