- Carl and Wally talking about JFK |
Carl is the gay foster dad of JFK, along with his husband Wally. He is a big and brutish, cigar-chomping macho man, whose personality contrasts greatly with Wally's commitment to the flamboyant homosexual stereotype. He first appeared in "Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand". He's voiced by Neil Flynn.
Biography[]
In "Escape to Beer Mountain: A Rope of Sand", JFK called the Teen Crisis Hotline from his house, complaining about how one of his gay foster dads wasn't accepting his sexuality. Wally and Carl were seen sitting in the living room. Carl complained about JFK acting all macho, wondering why he couldn't just be gay like his old man and Wally told him that it's not JFK's fault he's gay and that he was just born that way.
In "Episode Two: Election Blu-Galoo", Wally and Carl sat at the dinner table with JFK. Wally fed scrambled eggs to Carl and also taught JFK how the win the school election by acting more like his clonefather, the original John F. Kennedy.
In "A.D.D.: The Last D is for Disorder", Wally and Carl attended a P.T.A. meeting in the school Cafetorium, which concerned the dangers of Gandhi's A.D.D. Worried about the safety of JFK, they proposed the idea to organize an angry mob to run Gandhi out of town.
In "Homecoming: A Shot in D'Arc", JFK questioned his sexuality after falling in love with John Dark, (not knowing he was just Joan of Arc in disguise as a boy), and went to tell his foster dads that he was willing to "switch TV shows", signifying his shift in sexuality. Wally helped JFK to step away from watching the hetero-normative Dharma & Greg and instead start testing the waters of watching Will & Grace instead.
In "Raisin the Stakes: A Rock Opera in Three Acts", Wally and Carl worked as chairmen of the P.T.A., along with Cleo's Foster Mom. They hosted a meeting in the Cafetorium, concerning the dangers of smoking raisins. As suggested by Principal Scudworth, the solution to the raisin problem was to build a fence around Exclamation! U.S.A., blocking out all raisin-dealers. Wally and Carl slaved away on building this fence and later protested to have the raisins destroyed in a fire. By burning the raisins, Wally and Carl, along with all the other parents, ended up getting high off the second-hand smoke from the raisins, which made them enjoy smoking raisins. The fact that the parents were into raisins, urged the teens to disregard raisins as uncool and instead take an interest in smoking crack.
In "Snowflake Day: A Very Special Holiday Special", Wally and Carl sat in the recording booth and helped JFK to record his Snowflake Day album, "JFK Sings the Er-Uh Snowflake Day Hits". They told him that he had the voice of an angel. JFK made a homophobic joke about the lyric "Don We Now, Our Gay Apparel" from the PC-version of the song "Deck the Halls", which left Wally and Carl in shock.
In "Changes: The Big Prom: The Sex Romp: The Season Finale", he was frozen in the flash freezer.
