You know what? Sometimes life doesn’t turn out the way you thought it would. Sometimes a successful stand up comedy career built on steamer trunks full of goofy homemade props and a full head of scarlet hair makes you a household name, only to have the floor drop out from under you. Suddenly, the same things that originally made you famous is what people now use to mock you. And you are alone in this world once more. Maybe you take up body-building to focus your mind and improve your self-image. Maybe you refuse to cut off your trademark hair, fearful that it’s the only thing allowing you to find the pitiful work you are now offered as a symbol of your own failure.
ENOUGH!
Carrot Top entertained the world, and this is how we repay him? His job now, consistently, is to be a spokesperson for what a sad joke he is. Not cool, you guys. It is time for America to let Carrot Top get on with his life. Shame on you, Burger King. This ad doesn’t even make sense, because Carrot Top was already a very successful spokesperson for 1-800-CALL-ATT, and AMERICA LOVED HIM FOR IT. MORE OR LESS. Shame on The Hangover closing credits for featuring a snapshot of Carrot Top as an indication of what a retarded night everyone was having, but not even giving Carrot Top a single line in the movie.
Most of all, shame on us. Shame on us for what we have done. HE IS A HUMAN BEING! MORE OR LESS! (Via AdFreak.)

Just give him his own show on VH1 already. Firecrotch of Love. I’d watch, heck I’d even compete.
Wow, Gabe! Could you be more ))<>(( with Carrot Top?!?
Seriously. Can we stop crying for Carrot Top? Dude’s doing fine. What’s up with his face though? He’s doing something to his face that he should stop doing. Or undo, or something. Fine with the hair and the biceps and all, just not so much with the face. No one’s shedding a tear for Erik Estrada, and who didn’t love Ponch? I’d probably buy the Estrada shades before the Carrot Crusher though.
Ok, yes, he is sad. But let’s not forget that he has to agree to be consistently mocked! Maybe it is a case of low self-esteem, but we can’t help carrot top, only carrot top can help carrot top.
The man has been trampled on long enough (more or less); this fall, “redemption” is spelt C-A-R-R-O-T.
we saw carrot top at the luxor in vegas and it was actually really really funny [pulls the trigger on shotgun with barrel lodged in mouth]
Saw that show, too, during my honeymoon (Does it make it better or worse that we got super-discounted tickets after we sat through a three-hour time share presentation? Oh, right. Worse.) I thought he was AWFUL (when I close my eyes, I can still see the Michael Jackson impersonation he did where the super-strong fan blew his shirt open, exposing his steroid-hardened abs). My husband, however, Lots Of Love’d several times during the performance; I began contemplating an annulment.

lemme try that again:
He looks calm and gentle in the future image. The present image on the other hand: all aboard the spooky train to nightmare town. *shudder*
Hmmm, that current picture of him almost looks like Rebecca Gayheart in 20 years or so…
Ladies and gentlemen, your 2009 comment hall of fame champion!
There but for the grace of God goes Dokken.
Gabe is trying to save the world today, one NYC prep student and one Carrot Top at a time.
i’ve got a soft spot for carrot top because he’s such a good sport about having a well-known career that’s firmly in the shitter.
has there been a feeble, tasteles, non-sequitur family guy joke about him yet? he fits the mold for a feeble, non-sequitur family guy joke perfectly. like, truly madly deeply perfect. the only person i can think of who fits the mold better is terri schiavo. i don’t have the heart to look either of those up to confirm. 2 =(, 2 furious.
Next logical step: release “Chairman of the Bored II”, co-starring Norm McDonald.
I think the point of the commercial was to use the patheticness of Carrot Top to distract you from the patheticness that this commerical features a NASCAR driver with a Burger King logo on his chest.
Gabe’s being sincere right? I have no problem if he is, or if he isn’t. But sometimes Gabe wraps sarcasm inside of earnestness inside of a labyrinth or however that goes. Double secret probation sarcasm?
Carrot Top look like an Adonis made of wax whose face got too close to a flame. The melted look, like Fergie!
Wait wait wait just a minute there, Mr. Delahaye. Pray tell: Why are we supposed to cry for a man who has his own standing show in Las Vegas? He sounds like a pretty successful guy to me. He knows he’s the butt of other comedian’s jokes, and he probably got paid handsomely for basically acknowledging that by doing this Burger King commercial. He’s taking his low self-esteem/body dismorphic disorder all the way to the bank. I, sir, will sleep soundly tonight with my contempt for carrot top firmly intact.
He’s pretty much doing what Louie Anderson did before him. And Rodney Dangerfield before him. Only it’s not as good and it costs more money. NO RESPECT.
ESSSTRRRRRAAAADAAAA!
Those vegas standing acts don’t pay in peanuts — Carrot Top is doing just fine.
