"I think, over the years, I've kind of evolved"
About this Quote
The subtext is twofold. First, it's a wry acknowledgment that he had to. Comedy aging is brutal: what reads as fresh physical absurdity in the '90s can calcify into caricature by the time the internet starts circulating old clips as evidence. Second, it's a subtle jab at the way culture freezes performers in their most meme-able era. Carrot Top doesn't say "I was underestimated" or "you were wrong about me". He implies it, and the restraint is the point: evolution isn't a redemption arc, it's a survival tactic.
Contextually, it's also a Vegas line - built for longevity. In a space where the job is repetition by design, "evolved" signals that he understands the paradox: to do the same show for years, you have to keep changing the person doing it.
