Who were all these people trying to make collect calls? History books gloss over this dark period of American history with flowery tales of the Clinton sex-scandal impeachment, but for those who remember the truth we must never forget: collect call commercials were on the air for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, ten to eleven months out of the year.
For those of you who just can’t get enough Carrot Top, here he is pretending to forget his wallet in a fancy-pants restaurant. The rich irony the writers heaped into this commercial: Carrot Top in real life could not afford to go to a restaurant where they show you the bottle of wine before they serve it to you! Classic.

If it was possible to lose respect for Carrot Top, I did watching his reactions to being lampooned on the Comedy Central roast of Flava Flav. How can you claim to be a comedian and not have a sense of humor about what you do? Some comedians appeal to redenecks, and some, like Carrot Top, appeal to small children and the mentally challenged. Big deal, as long as you get paid who cares.
