Carrot Top & His Box of Mysteries (1997) - MDA Telethon

[@thebigcheese5114]

Even if some jokes don’t land, I love his spirit and attitude!

[@valsainking]

Even the ones that don't land are funny, but for different reasons.

[@HeyItsTheFloorGuys]

Now watching him as an adult I wish I would have paid attention more as a kid, his energy and spirit is amazing and I just love this guy, screw all the haters this guy is amazing

[@jasonwarren3999]

Dude! 1800collect

[@randymartin5500]

Never seen his act before until this clip. After 26 years of hearing people take the piss out of him, I like him a lot now. Just shows never judge a person without knowing who he is.

[@newukshooter2932]

he's just been on the Joe Rogan podcast, check it out

[@brahtrumpwonbigly7309]

KZbin's been recommending his videos recently. Seems like a chill dude.

[@NathanialWheelerHD]

I am probably in the minority, but I really enjoy his content lol

[@randall.3189]

Not one curse word and still funny. I swear all the time. But comedians seem to rely on offensive content to make people laugh. It's hard to make people laugh by being creative, that's why I like the dude. Besides some of his ideas aren't bad.

[@theHardyMonster1984]

I found the last Carrot Top fan on the planet.

[@nido6276]

D Toohey I think he’s very clever and smart but I think it’s not the kinda thing you preform as comedy. I’m glad you enjoy it though!

[@aidnwosih]

I find him hilarious

[@sandercohen3416]

He’s the best

[@kenscar]

I need a six-part Netflix doc about the Life of Carrot Top ASAP

[@lydia3832]

Frrr please

[@bluebear1985]

Just as long as he doesn't have to star in another movie. A documentary would be fine though.

[@jchip2828]

" I got more...sorry". LOL.

Aaaaaand he's Canadian

[@digitaldystopia3733]

This stuff never gets old. Seriously if I'm feeling down I always watch this

[@chelugo9928]

[@SmithCommaBenjamin]

Honestly, this guy is beyond pro. Like you can lost in just the masterpiece of his performances. His ability to flow with every joke, to control the crowd, to always seem spontaneous, etc.

[@Iheartdgd]

Haha he’s a good guy man, he doesn’t deserve the hate.

[@evanjones288]

People hate cuz he only has prop comedy, no stand up material, people say with his props he has nothing but i just found him a few days ago and love his prop stuff

[@sc4344]

People are pissed off as his idea is something we have all done at some point, but he took it to stage and earned millions from it. Other comedians go though hell wondering if their material will make the grade, his props are easy to gauge and are fun in the making. Big fat bowl of sour grapes. 30 years and Las Vegas residence not many can do that, another reason he is hated. He's ok it's light entertainment and it works because of him, good luck to the tens of millions he has earnt.

[@charliechan6892]

@@sc4344 ive never seen anyone make props like him, not casual people lmao

[@viawilderness]

Name one person who actually hates him... there's better ways to say "l like carrot top" than creating imaginary enemies

[@kingvincentarchcravenxiii1141]

@@viawilderness he did get a lot of hate back in the day. Even I wasn’t really a fan until like the 2000s.

[@ClaimOfRightMuso]

Never heard of him until I started watching Joe Rogan and he was on the show (I'm in Scotland) and now I look for his stuff all the time. Carrot Top is unique, infectious and I always laugh at his comedy. Brilliant! 👍

[@seanmurphy3329]

I can listen CT tell the same jokes for years upon years. His shtick just does not get old for me. He is still doing some of the same jokes he started with with in his very 1st act. And they are still funny to me. I can watch animal house hundreds of times breakfast club hundreds of times. Why not Carrot Top hundreds of times

[@JC-ve8cs]

Breakfast club goes hard af

[@petercutler3136]

He’s absolutely fantastic!!!

[@Houligans]

Saw him in vegas a few years ago and nearly died from laughing so hard!

[@mustang8812822]

So awesomely talented, ,,tells the whole story in a joke using few words ,then pulls out not only a prop......but a well put together prop mixing props.

[@adamwong71]

Watched him growing up. Still cracks me up. Genuine comedy!

[@timvikings]

not gonna lie....this is his best material. I respect him for actually puting time into building stuff. he would have been so much better if he would supliment his props with actual stand-up jokes. he could turn 5 minutes into 45 minutes

[@komedizaid9893]

He does that...in his Luxor shows...go watch it

[@MrAquinas1]

A lot of great inventions. He should open a store like Sharper Image.

[@natehess4382]

He always opens with the Chelsea Clinton joke

[@a-1886]

Nate Hess he does recycle lots of his jokes. But his personality is great so I don’t mind. I saw his show at the Luxor in las Vegas and I loved it!

[@macdee6040]

Well it was during the Clinton administration when this aired.

[@HeyDude93gt]

Nate Hess Sometimes he’s Wendy

[@timvikings]

...or the wendys girl lol

[@ochsj1971]

I saw him at Western Michigan University in the mid-1990's and he opened up with saying "Look it's Reba McEntire, and she effed her hair up!"

[@Silenced23]

I never understood why people always talked trash about him. He's actually pretty funny. He's respected a whole lot more now but back in the day, people would just take the piss out of him.

[@Dan_Capone]

I came for the Norm Macdonald meme, but Carrot Top is genuinely hilarious, I'm grinning like crazy.

crazy that tiger woods just won the masters today. the man is relevant in 97 and today.

[@jefffame7938]

4:05 very good idea

[@forensicsbdarija]

This is actually good standup comedy

[@kombijr]

I don’t know, but maybe having been at the Luxor in Vegas since I can remember probably means he’s been doing something right. As hulk hogan would say getting ass in seats.

[@chillbest14]

Hold on I'm not ready 🤣🤣🤣😂

[@connorelish2]

I'm literally fascinated this is why carrot top is famous. I remember him from att ads when I was a kid. I'm on a literal wonder bender of carrot top videos. Because its just so fucking stupid. But it's real. But it can't be. But it is.

[@connorelish2]

That dude called him a marvelous comedian. And he's rich. He makes real life memes. Then explains them. But like we already got it why are you saying it. I'm shocked. People exist who think this is good. That's bizarre. This whole thing is bizarre. It's bizarre. When you meet someone and they seem ok, they might like this. Isn't that fucked.

[@jackpotjoey8828]

His acts were always very relevant to whatever was going on at that time. I know it told us 1997, but with his props you could easily know it’s was 1996-97ish

[@domarq]

Although Jerry was a jerk in real life....and older comedians were hypocritical off-stage (ie; Cosby)....older comedians appreciated Carrot Top because of his family-friendly humor. Many of them could not connect with the rising, dirtier, raunchier comedians. Carrot Top was the bridge between old-school and kids. His "not needing to be dirty to be funny" humor would've made him equally successful in the 1940's through 1960's.

[@spar0035]

This is like a highlight reel of a much more innocent, wholesome, less sensitive time when people could laugh at a joke and not get offended. (Pre 9-11, pre me too, pre woke, pre canceled-by-the-mob, etc)

[@mksolid82]

I agree. Pretty much anything you watch these days that’s pre 9/11 has this calmness to it. 9/11 kicked off everything that we are dealing with today.
