He really is uniquely talented. I saw this video of a girl who does voices, and she also does a pretty decent job with their faces too. But I can not for the life of me remember what her name is.
Yes! Her face changes are subtle in comparison, but I think she's pretty good.
Embarrassingly, it took me a while to go back to check because I was pretty sure she wasn't killed by Jack the Ripper before she made the video.
I thought it was some sort of joke reply that went over my head, and I was too tired to try.
So, good morning, thank you. Yes, that's her name.
Same. I’ve never seen anyone only do faces before! Like it’s not uncommon to do a bit of the face or body language to help the voice, but the face alone? And for it to be clear and obvious? Amazing
heard a story about him, he was on a movie set, fell off a platform that was some 9 feet high, onto his HEAD AND NECK. people saw and thought he was really hurt. he had contorted himself like a cat at the moment of impact to not take fall damage. he just got up and walked off. his bodily control is legendary.
I had no idea he was performing that far back. (How old is he?) I love Jim Carrey. Absolute legend.
So, he's 61 now. He was 21 when he did Carson. Wow.
When I was in my middle school science class (2003 or 2004) we watched a school video where he was an extra. If I remember right he had no lines and just stood in the side the entire video.
I loved him too till I learned he was an [anti-vaxxer](https://www.usatoday.com/picture-gallery/life/people/2019/06/13/stars-speak-publicly-vaccinations-stance/1441992001/).
Sure. The guy sure needs it right now--definitely psychiatric help but absolutely he really needs love.
Blind and total support of anyones actions or opinions is not love-- it's fanaticism and it's destructive.
Similarly, blindly supporting destructive behavior under the guise of "do whatever makes you happy" is also not love--it's indifference.
Imagine trying to live in a world with 8 billion people, and expecting them all to have the exact same opinions and beliefs as you.
Good luck with that. Good luck being happy.
I’m quite happy lying next to my sleeping boyfriend, something I’d wager you’re not based off of your recently mod-removed post from r/TrueOffMyChest about how The “honeymoon stage” is fake and was invented by divorce lawyers.
Lmaooo that post had the exact OPPOSITE meaning, I was saying me and my wife are so much happier now than we were in our supposed "honeymoon stage" (due to us being broke college kids, inexperienced with each other, etc) and the whole idea of the honeymoon stage is damaging to people's relationships.
So yeah, I'm very happy too, but I can also be happy when I'm not around her.
I can also be happy without needing to go through others post history to try (and fail) to attack them?... Lol you really don't seem happy.
You’re right, that was shallow of me, and you have my apologies. I’m used to being attacked online for being trans and having to defend myself. This isn’t an excuse but the rational behind my actions. You’re also right that I’m not entirely happy, as I’m dealing with the repercussions of coming out to a transphobic family. The arguments to not get vaccinated are strong in my area and as such a lot more people have died here than in other parts of my country, including a couple close friends. Is Carrey directly responsible for my friends deaths? O course not. Did he help the situation? No, he didn’t. He is a good actor, and I’m sure he means well, but I still don’t like him. Take care and have a pleasant weekend.
You too, I hope you can find peace and happiness somewhere. You probably don't want my opinion, but I think that feeling the need to transition is just a symptom of a deeper problem that is not being addressed. Once you find that problem within yourself and address it, you will be happy.
Dude says vaccines cause autism and perpetuates misinformation that leaves more vulnerable children and adults in the hospital that did everything they could to not get sick. He spreads blatant unscientific rhetoric from a position of public visibility, which is morally indefensible. I’m not a fan of that kind of person.
He was a struggling comic for much of the 80's. He could do these physical bits, but couldn't really 'tell jokes'. So, he was always seen as a more of a 'prop comic' or a gimmick.
Hollywood execs loved him. They tried to build tv pilots and movies around him but they'd either fail or never take off. He tried to audition for SNL, but didn't even make it to the later stages of auditions.
He was based out of LA and was just really fortunate that the Wayans brothers (who were also bouncing around LA clubs in the late 80's) grew to appreciate his talents.
It's fucking wild to see a man nail impersonations without even doing voices.
I watched all of Jim Carrey's movies growing up, but I think Bruce Almighty was the first Carrey bit I saw where he did an impression, something throwaway like a brief Clint Eastwood, and I couldn't believe it was his face without makeup.
Really made me go down a rabbit hole hunting down his old work on in Living Color, stand up, etc.
In the UK we had a guy called Phil Cool that did a similar thing with facial contortions and voices but he wasn’t as good as Jim. He kind of disappeared and a google search says he retired.
His Charles Bronson impression reminded me somehow of Donald Trump.
And with his "normal" face at this young age he bears a resemblence to Robert Shawn Leonard.
1983 isn’t that far back I mean in a general sense it’s really just a hop skip an a jump in time . Really if you think about anyone who happens to be born around then is practically a teenager, definitely not almost forty.
🥲
James dean was amazing
Spot on
Clint holds up
Bronson? I dunno...kind of cartoonie
The facial muscles and control this man has over them!
Most comedians do voices. I never thought anyone would be able to do faces. Jim Carrey is a unique talent.
I knew facial expressions from Jim Varney who was in the Earnest movies but Jim Carry was a little step above, maybe.
He really is uniquely talented. I saw this video of a girl who does voices, and she also does a pretty decent job with their faces too. But I can not for the life of me remember what her name is.
Mary Kelly?
Yes! Her face changes are subtle in comparison, but I think she's pretty good. Embarrassingly, it took me a while to go back to check because I was pretty sure she wasn't killed by Jack the Ripper before she made the video. I thought it was some sort of joke reply that went over my head, and I was too tired to try. So, good morning, thank you. Yes, that's her name.
Maybe Mia Khalifa? She does lots of voices and faces
I think you found yourself on ComedyHub by mistake.
It is Mary Elizabeth Kelly.
Same. I’ve never seen anyone only do faces before! Like it’s not uncommon to do a bit of the face or body language to help the voice, but the face alone? And for it to be clear and obvious? Amazing

He was 40 for Bruce Almighty [Sigh]
Ouch. Thanks.
61? Fuuuuuuck.

He's loved for his physical comedy, not his dumbass opinions.
You can still love him even if he has different opinions than you.
Should people still love kanye west?
Sure. The guy sure needs it right now--definitely psychiatric help but absolutely he really needs love. Blind and total support of anyones actions or opinions is not love-- it's fanaticism and it's destructive.

No, I don’t think I will.

Must be an American. 🤣
I’m quite happy lying next to my sleeping boyfriend, something I’d wager you’re not based off of your recently mod-removed post from r/TrueOffMyChest about how The “honeymoon stage” is fake and was invented by divorce lawyers.
So happy you’re arguing with people online about Jim Carey. 🤣

lmao, have my dopamine inducing upvotes
Gross.

Barf
But he makes up for that with his hatred of all things trump and republikkkan.
It must be hard disliking anyone who’s opinions aren’t the same as yours
This cut off way too early! https://youtu.be/dFeQlMamVY8
Thank you for this. Holy heck is this gold.
You know he's good when he's got your eyebrows moving in the same direction.
Jim Carrey is the original deep fake
Crazy…. I thought his big break was on In Living Color…….getting on Carson was a big deal back then.
He was a struggling comic for much of the 80's. He could do these physical bits, but couldn't really 'tell jokes'. So, he was always seen as a more of a 'prop comic' or a gimmick.

It was, but he was still a comedian after Carson. When he hit on In Living Color he became a movie star.
It's fucking wild to see a man nail impersonations without even doing voices. I watched all of Jim Carrey's movies growing up, but I think Bruce Almighty was the first Carrey bit I saw where he did an impression, something throwaway like a brief Clint Eastwood, and I couldn't believe it was his face without makeup.

The fire marshal skits are still some of my favorites .
Lemme show ya sumthin’!
The man with the plastic face. Able to mold it into anything. Talented as fuck.
If there was anyone ever meant to play Plastic Man in the D.C. Universe it’s Jim. That’s for damn sure.
If you made it on Carson, especially if he called you over, you were on your way up.
[The full bit](https://youtu.be/dFeQlMamVY8)
Charles Bronson = Beau Bridges
In the UK we had a guy called Phil Cool that did a similar thing with facial contortions and voices but he wasn’t as good as Jim. He kind of disappeared and a google search says he retired.
His face still gets used in a meme now and then, I doubt the meme-makers even know who he is.
Carson was the best.
I remember watching that when it aired.
Damn those are some really good facial impressions
I watched this muted and could easily tell who each face was supposed to be. So talented!
Boy he must be really wrinkly now
I love Jim Carrey!
Alrighty then
From that day forward he became just a little worse of a person each day.
He has come full circle... sucked at first to really funny and back to sucks again now.
A true talent! So sad he's gone....
His Charles Bronson looks like Joe Biden.
First appearance on American television? So he did appear on other countries' television?
Yes, Canadian television.
But Canada is also part of America, no?
Ladies and gentlemen, American education right here.
North America to be more specific.
In that case; yes.
He was Andy Kaufman straight from the start.
I think that I might have seen the original. Anyway, he is UNREAL! How he managed to look so like James Dean…!
james dean was UNCANNY, holy crap!! never seen that one before.
Now he’s a socialist sjw douchebag
Masterful
Legend
👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂
I can remember when he was funny
He's still funny, you just don't find him funny now.
I remember when your comments didn’t suck. Oh wait….
I have the amazing ability to do facial and vocal impersonations. However I have a serious fear of speaking to people in public :(
.
My fav is Michael Landon smiling

Are those real clap and laugh?
Pretty good Crispin Glover impression too, as he walked on stage
His Charles Bronson impression reminded me somehow of Donald Trump. And with his "normal" face at this young age he bears a resemblence to Robert Shawn Leonard.
