We’ve done a whole bunch of superhero movies here on Rifftrax. And I’m guessing we’ll riff on one or two more before this clambake is over.
There’s one coming up soon, in fact. (Remember you riff-writers: Kevin loves to do his Penny Marshall impression, and Mike can’t yodel enough!)
But none of the superheroes we’ve riffed on — Spiderman, Daredevil, Los Cuatro Fantásticos, Nestor the Long-Eared Donkey — NONE of ‘em is fit to carry the scorched jockstrap of this guy:
FLAMING CARROT!
Do you agree? (Say yes.) Do you disagree? (Explain.) Are you indifferent? (Explain.) What did you have for lunch? (Specify. [Condiment details optional.])

To use that phrase, I mean. Not to wear one.

I’m assuming he would have to be wearing said jockstrap on his head in order for it to become “scorched”.
Bill, please tell me it would have to be on his head. Please.

For my friend Tim:
Flaming Carrot would have to be wearing the jockstrap on his head for it to become scorched.

Is he wearing flippers, or does he have leaves for feet?
I guess when thinking of what to call himself, he had to choose between “Flaming Carrot” or “Leaf Feet”. “Flaming Carrot” is the obvious winner.

Flippers. His reason: “In case I have to swim.”

He’s clearly just wearing a regular shirt as part of his superhero uniform. It’s got a collar and everything.
…hey, wait a minute. (UT!) His HEAD is a carrot, but the rest of him is totally normal except for the swim fins. What are we to make of this? Also, shouldn’t he be called “Flaming Carrot Head”?

Oh, and I had a bacon cheeseburger with a side of steak fries at a woefully overpriced cafe in Cape May.
You know, since you asked.

Flaming Carrot is also a member of the illustrious Mystery Men team.
Yes, the Ben Stiller Mystery Men movie.

They didn’t have the nads to put him in the movie, alas.

That guy can’t hold a carrot to Ambush Bug.

My favorite was Savage Dragon. The funniest? . . . . Villains, I’d have to go with toad, the most worthless supervillain ever.
As far as heroes go, I’d guess Banshee is pretty lame. “Don’t hit me or I’ll scream!”

Is that the Grinch? Flaming Carrot doesn’t take crap from nobody.

I have no idea what’s going on there, but I bet it’s totally awesome.
As a side note, start typing “carrot” into Google, and it immediately assumes you want “Carrot Top.” All I can say is… it knows me too well.

While Flaming Carrot is undoubtedly awesome, I’ve always been a big fan of Dogwelder.

I once picked up a copy of Flaming Carrot. It was kind of like trying to comprehend string theory after taking two hits of Ny-Quil. I just didn’t get it..
Best super hero ever? I nominate Ralph Snart.

There’s got to be a joke involving a potato peeler somewhere…..
Oh, 2 grilled cheese sandwiches, one with provolone and one with mozzarella.

The best superhero? Well, for me that honor would probably go to…
BURNT FACE MAN!!! (www.burntfaceman.com)
He may have a burnt face, but that doesn’t mean he can’t fight crime!

I like him, but he still reminds me too much of Carrot TOP for comfort.

BY far the best is Doctor Gorpon: Monster Hunter.

The “sound effects” alone were worth the price of admision. “Sclorch!”
Done by the creator of Ralf Snart, a looney in his own right that desrvers far more credit than he gets. SOme of Ralf’s facial contortions are just painfull for look at, and funnier than anything in print.

As an honorable mention, a local freelance comic had a hero called “Blind Man”. He was a speedster along the lines of the flash, with super hearing, and was, unfortunately blind. His approach to the scene of a crime was heralded but the machine gun “TapTapTapTapTapTapTapTapTap” of his red and white cane. Politically Incorrect but Funny as heck.
