No, God no! You just gave me flashbacks of elementary school, when Ace Ventura came out and Every. Single. Kid. was repeating lines from the movie constantly, not even with good comedic timing.

I take it you do not sanction his buffoonery.

Dumb and dumber is one of my favorite movies of all time. So many great quotes from that movie. Are you sure you didn't watch the sequels or whatever they're calling the other ones? Those were painful

I watched the 1994 one but tbf I didn't finish it. I tried to like it, and I even looked up some of the "funniest scenes" to encourage myself to keep watching, but I just realized it's not for me.

Well, I won't say it's a favourite movie of all time. I also found this one funny, largely because of the Farrley brothers' dark comedic writing. I agree with your overall point, though. His physical humour is not my cup of tea. I couldn't stand Ace Ventura, Liar Liar, Me Myself, and Irene... It's odd, though, how he can put in strong dramatic performances that are kind of reminiscent of Robin Williams.

That's kind of funny because I find the person insufferable, but I enjoy his films.

I agree absolutely. Personally I don't find his humor style funny at all, which is a quite contrast from a lot of millennials who find him funny. My parents didn't like his films either so I didn't grow up with them. Eventually, when I did watch one I just didn't find his humor funny- still do not.

I'm the opposite. I love most of his comedic movies. Especially the ones from the 90s and early 2000s (Liar Liar is probably my favorite) but I find Jim Carrey as a person is insufferable. Most of his interviews he tries to act like he's super deep and just comes off as arrogant and self righteous.

I didn't like when he criticized Kick Ass 2 because of the violence. He read the script, filmed the movie and accepted the money, but suddenly the violence is not OK?

I only liked him on In Living Color. When he started making movies he became annoying to me.

Every time I think of Jim Carrey, I think of The Mask when he says "It's party time! P-A-R-T-why? Because I gotta!"

To be fair to Jim, that was a comic book first and they pulled some of those cheesy lines right from the source material.

As a kid born in the 90s, I can't disagree more with this take

by Matilda38 8 months ago

The 90s is one of my favorite decades of films but I don't like a lot of comedies from that era. The only ones that have stuck with me are the later ones like Office Space and Big Lebowski.

by Brandidamore 8 months ago

Yeah those movies are more built for adult audiences, Jim Carrey was geared towards children so it makes sense why you don't like his stuff as an adult. But I would never critique his work from an adult perspective because I have such a strong memory of the great experiences I had watching his films as a kid.

by Matilda38 8 months ago

Timely.

by Anonymous 8 months ago

Out of interest, how old are you? As someone who was the right age for Jim Carrey, he was incredible, but I would say that some comedy just doesn't age well. Part of the reason is that he redefined mainstream comedy so then everything was either a copy or a reaction to that.

by Grand-Today-1105 8 months ago

Me, myself and Irene is a good movie that handles his buffoonery in a way that it kind of makes sense? Like it fits and technically isn't too much cause he's also playing the other version of himself that's all reserved

It was mostly while he was with Jenny McCarthy. He was along for the ride, but still helped spread misinformation.

I wouldn't strain yourself tbf - it is very marmite humour. Personally I loved the absurdity of it - like when Jeff Daniels had his toenails trimmed with I think it was a chainsaw or a sander...

I assumed this would be about his politics but to say Dumb and Dumber was not funny is the biggest swing and a miss take there is

by Rennertaryn 8 months ago

Bro, you couldn't have picked a dumber movie to base your opinion of an actor on, I think it's probably just that specific style of comedy you didn't like as you seem to like his style of comedy already. (Truman Show, Yes man) Watch Bruce Almighty, Liar Liar, Me Myself & Irene if you want his "shtick" but not too much of it. Watch the Ace Ventura's, Batman Forever or The Mask if you want him dialled up another notch. Dumb and Dumber is very much an outlier tho imo and not one I come back to as I'm not a fan of slapstick.

by Rich-Alps3423 8 months ago

I generally hate his kind of overacting by some comedic actors. But JIm Carrery brings a special something to films. Maybe it's nostalgia, but I love most of his films. Check out Liar Liar. He's animated in a way that's due to what happens in the film. My favourite Jim Carey film.

by New_Piano 8 months ago

Ok so you don't like one particular movie so therefore the actor himself is insufferable? Despite the fact that you like other movies that he's in? I want you to take a minute to think about that logic

by Gulgowskijanick 8 months ago

Perhaps not the funniest to everyone (what is?), but he gave some of the best all-time physical performances in his popular films from the 90's. Perhaps that counts for something.

I completely agree with you. I like James, not necessarily Jim. The whole character. Nails on a chalkboard for me. I think for him too, he is actually cynical about peoples like for 'Jim' being a non person and just a persona.
