Slate's Rob Walkertries to explain the Carrot Top phenomenon (i.e. his continued existence):
The funniest thing about Carrot Top has always been that no one thinks he's funny. He does not dispense punch lines; he is a punch line. Perhaps the real message of his work, then, is a critique that makes a mockery not just of the entertainment industry, but of the very notion of meritocracy in America—his success being the most damning evidence to date that the marketplace of talent is a sham.
Hmmm. I don't know about this, but then, it isn't like Armed Prophet has a better answer.
