I have graciously chosen t0 spread out the 1-800-COLLECT commercials to avoid causing an unintentional overdose of Carrot Top. In the first spot I posted, we see Carrot Top being smashed into the ground by an angry giant.
In this spot Carrot Top is somewhat unlucky with the ladies. If my memory is correct I am pretty sure the earlier COLLECT spots were more along the lines of this spot, featuring an unloved Carrot Top. Over time Carrot Top became more and more appealing to the hot women in his commercials, leading me to believe he threatened to quit (or maybe just threatened suicide) unless he got some in the script.
Aside from being vintage 1-800-COLLECT, this spot is somewhat rare as it is a full thirty second spot, instead of a fifteen second cut. Because of this you get to see absolutely priceless extra footage of Carrot Top clowning around at the beginning of the video. I say “priceless” in the sense that the price is zero.
