The Carnival Barker is a minor antagonist in the 2010 Illumination film: Despicable Me.
He is voiced by Jack McBrayer.
Personnality[]
He is, although playful in his stand, sarcastic and mischievous. He seems to like making fun of others when they lose at his game, which is shown when he speaks with Gru and that he sarcastically wishes Agnes good luck for the next time.
History[]
This young man runs the Space Killer game at Super Silly Land. When Agnes wants the stuffed unicorn from the stand, Gru asked the Barker, annoyed, how much it cost. The man replies that it is not for sale but that it is a prize to be won if the children play his game and knock the spaceship over.
Gru then pays him and Agnes strikes the ship without dropping it. Gru, puzzled, complains that she lost if she hit the spaceship. The carnival barker again explains to him that he must knock over the ship to win and makes fun of him for not getting the unicorn. He wryly points out Gru's disappointment before sarcastically wishing Agnes luck for the next move. Gru, intolerant, pays him again, announcing his own turn, steps back and takes out his Big Blaster Cannon.
The barker, frightened, bends down and Gru shoots violently at the spaceship which leaves in crumbs after being charred. His entire game being destroyed, the barker, scandalized, gave the unicorn plush to Agnes before bursting into tears.
Trivia[]
- The Carnival Barker probably rigged his game so that it would be almost impossible for participants to knock over the spaceship so that it would make himself more money for them to play.
