5/10
Too soon to tell, really, but I get the suspicion that the use of sock puppets will quickly go the way of "How random!," instantly bring Carlos to 9/10, with one point off for the slightly unique manifestation of his "So randommmm"-ness. Crazy without logic isn't contagious.
However, if you surprise everyone and go the route of Jason Schartzman in Rushmore or Jason Siegel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, putting on school plays and Dracula-themed puppet shows (respectively) in earnest with one of a kind, completely beautiful and heartfelt performances, you'll hit 0/10 Cliche' points and stay there.
