In the [[Powered by The Cheat]] music videos "Oh Yeah Yeah" (from the email [[marzipan]]) and [[Seasonal Sweaters]] (from [[Decemberween in July]]), she is called "Carl". She is modeled after a nylon-string classical/[[Spanish]] guitar. Carol features a drawing of a snake and the word "carol", written in the font [[Fonts\|MotterFemD]]. In [[monster truck]], [[Strong Mad]] was going to smash her over [[Homestar Runner]]'s head. Marzipan played Carol in the band [[Cool Tapes]] with [[The Cheat]] (drums) and Strong Mad (bass). The sound Carol makes in [[Cool Things]] and [[One Two, One Two]] has a [[Fuzztone]]-like [[Distortion (music)\|distortion effect]] applied to it. This means Carol is either an [[Electric acoustic guitar\|acoustic-electric]] guitar, or there was a microphone used in these instances so that the effect could be applied. Carol also appears when [[Strong Bad]] auditions for [[replacement\|people to take over checking emails]] when he retires. Marzipan plays two [[Scroll Button Songs\|scroll button songs]], both of which Strong Bad dislikes. However, he later uses one of them.

It is debatable how literally the "Joan" comment can be taken.
