Carrot Top’s props are still quaintly homemade, a clumsy juxtaposition to the rest of the show. There are lame sexual jokes about Elton John, Ellen DeGeneres and Ricky Martin as if the fact of their homosexuality is itself funny. If you wanted to do a deep dive into the politics of Carrot Top, there’s plenty to work with. Carrot Top is a less sophisticated and more ruthlessly commercially artist, but he shares some of the same experimental spirit. The fact is that Carrot Top has figured out something essential about surviving in show business.
