- This page is for Stan's girlfriend. For the co-host of Cash Wheel, see Carla (game show host).
Carla "Hotpants" McCorkle is Stan Pines' former girlfriend, who according to Stan had dumped him in favor of hippie Thistle Downe.
History
Season 1
When Carla was a teenager she was nearly mugged by a greaser while waiting in line outside of a cinema to watch the movie, "Grandpa the Kid." Luckily, Stan, who was waiting in front of her and had been taking boxing lessons from a young age, reached out and "left-hooked" the greaser, saving her. She hugged him and kissed his cheek in thanks.
Carla dated Stan and often danced with him at their favorite 50's-themed 70's diner, The Juke Joint, as seen in "Boyz Crazy," but dumped Stan after listening to music by Thistle Downe, a hippie, leading Stan to believe that there was a hidden message in the music that could hypnotize people.
Even if Stan had been onto something, he ruined Carla's date with Thistle, driving his car into a ravine. After that, Carla "somehow thought of him as the bad guy."
Personality
Little is known of Carla's personality, except that she liked dancing when she was with Stan, and enjoyed going to the movies. She later adopted a hippie style.
Appearance
Carla was a voluptuous woman with long, curly brown hair, long eyelashes, and olive skin tone. She wore a purple and white flower in her hair, gold triangle earrings, a magenta shirt with white trimmings around the sleeves and collar, a matching belt, rose red sandals, and her trademark, purple hotpants. After dumping Stan, her hotpants became purple bell-bottoms.
When she first met Stan, she was wearing a pink poodle skirt and a long sleeved, aqua blue v-neck. She had the same kind of flower in her hair, but wore it on the opposite side.
