The Prize Carousel

Prize Carousel · the carousel show

Mordecai's first real question after the apology: what did you actually pick off that thing?

Story so far

The carousel comes up as soon as Mordecai has finished refusing to discuss Chaco. He wants to know what Carl chose from it. Princess Donut calls the prize a stupid recipe book and a joke prize; Mordecai asks to see it; Carl says later.

Whatever the carousel really handed over remains, for the moment, a game-show anecdote rather than a subject of inquiry.

Role

The fan-box game show segment that supplied Carl's most dangerous possession.
