[@jdizzle23211]

He has several comedy videos of him roaming around on the internet of him without props. He's a good confident story teller. Which is half of what makes a good comic. He's cornered the prop comedy market and has done a damn good job at that. Dude is a millionaire.

[@nomad1517]

The cool thing about his shows, are that you are usually the first to see his legendary props, and it's like an experiment or improv, so you are realizing that even giant stars fuck up, and see that most jokes don't make it to the top, we always think that every famous artist just spews out bangers, but it probably takes them a few hundred tries before anything hits the star mark.

[@Dementiumfan1990]

Carrot Top predicted those backscratching shirts all the way back in 1996

[@mpazs]

He probably invented it.

[@HollywoodConnection-JAST]

wasn't funny for the audience, but as far as the idea goes, it's innovative and would probably work out well in a real-life scenario...
