"Video games are so popular these days, getting the opportunity to star in one is something special. More people should do it"
About this Quote
Carrot Top’s line lands like a perfectly timed undercut: earnest praise for video games, then a sly nudge that the entertainment hierarchy has flipped. Coming from a prop-comic whose brand is big, physical spectacle, it’s also a quiet admission that the culture’s center of gravity has shifted away from the stage and toward the screen you hold in your hands. “Star in one” isn’t just celebrity bucket-list talk; it’s a recognition that games have become the new variety show, where voice, motion capture, and persona get repackaged into a form that can outlive a tour and travel globally without a plane ticket.
The subtext is pragmatic, almost hustle-coded. Carrot Top isn’t theorizing about interactivity; he’s pointing at attention. Video games are where the audience is, and if you’re a performer, you go where the audience lives. The phrase “so popular these days” has a faint whiff of understatement that works as comedy in itself. Games aren’t a niche anymore; they’re a dominant entertainment infrastructure. Saying it casually is the joke, and the strategy.
“More people should do it” reads like encouragement, but it also functions as a gentle jab at peers who still treat games as a novelty gig or a brand risk. In 2026, with Hollywood IP pipelines feeding directly into game studios and streamers turning playthroughs into prime-time viewing, his point feels less like hype and more like career advice: relevance is collaborative now, and the biggest stage might not have a curtain.
