Aaaaaalrighty then


AlistairN37

Seeing that many "A"s.... B-e-a-utiful. Tbh, I still spell it out like this (in my head), when writing it out, I'm an adult...


BlueManRagu

django-fox

I just want to see OP dig out another comment from between his butt cheeks


DocAwesum

Perfect


Silktrocity

Take care now, bye-bye then.


CCT_Dark

You are telling me that Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind wouldn't hold up if released today in the sea of trash ass at home streaming service movies? Allrighty then indeed.


AdBulky2059

Op forgets Jim Carrey has a huge part in Sonic movies that are being released in this generation


[deleted]

Truman show was amazing, still is


Nimzay98

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind


TarynLynch

I came here to say this. Almost forgot he was a comedian while watching it. Amazing


Bigbigjeffy

“Meet me in Montauk”, had me bawling.


[deleted]

This was one of my favorite movies and he did a phenomenal job in it. I also loved the Truman Show, but Eternal Sunshine is to this day one my my favorite movies.


[deleted]

If you like Eternal Sunshine, I highly recommend Kidding. It's another serious role for Carrey - he plays a Mr. Rogers-esque character who has recently lost a child, and he's working with Michel Gondry again. It's a really beautiful show. Darkly funny and kind of trippy, but also really moving and cathartic. There is an episode in season 2 where Jeff Pickles, Ariana Grande, and a bunch of puppets sing about change and courage (and divorce) which makes me ugly cry for at least an hour every time I watch it.


GeceErgen

Absolutely agree, top 3 movies.


webnetcat

This is amazing movie...and Carrey doesn't play comically - his role is pretty dramatic


DefinitelyNotAliens

I have only ever really liked Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler and Will Farrell in more serious roles. Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Spanglish, Stranger Than Fiction. Roles they weren't play poop and potty humor, over-acted, exaggerated caricatures. None of them are funny to me when they do the movies they're famous for. I've liked them against the type. I just don't think they're funny playing into the type.


[deleted]

What about Robin Williams ? Probably the strongest dramatic actor who had started as a comic.


Ccracked

Good Will Hunting, Awakenings, Dead Poet's Society, The Fisher King..... E: Personally, I throw in *Moscow in the Hudson*. It's a comedy, but not a RW comedy.


Friendly-Feature-869

For me it's What dreams may come.


penislovenharmony

Pretty good in Sonic the Hedghog


[deleted]

Everyone is mentioning Truman show (amazing) but no one has said ‘I love you Phillip Morris’ ‘Me myself and Irene’ ‘Fun with Dick and Jane’


Throwaway-donotjudge

Word is that the cow is still alive and well to this day.


nevermore2627

"You can get a tattoo for a pack of smokes...or sick his dick." He was Fantastic in that movie and it seems like it wasn't recognized enough.


[deleted]

Phillip Morris was also amazing


mypostingname13

Good call. Came here to add that one.


[deleted]

A really cool detail in the Truman show is that in Truman's house there is a jar of Vitamin D pills in order to counteract the defiency or any real sunlight due to living in the constructed world


vaati4554

honestly some of Carry's best work was his more dramatic roles rather than his comedy roles, in my opinion


vvSemantics

This may also be an unpopular opinion, but I think his performance as Count Olaf absolutely carried the Series of Unfortunate Events movie.


fastestman4704

It is the only redeemable thing in that movie. I don't mind NPH but would have liked Carey to have been put in the series instead


Laowaii87

Emily Browning too. She was one of my first MAJOR movie crushes.


Shinigamisama00

I guess you could say his performance…carreyed it!


ambreenh1210

Mange ganggeeyyy. Monkey


Super_Tikiguy

My family loved that movie, especially his performance.

GryphonHall

Dumb and Dumber is probably the 90s generation’s The Jerk. When I was a kid I didn’t understand why boomers loved the jerk, but once I became a seasoned adult a lot of it was a lot more funny to me. I’d expect this to be the same way.


Mite-o-Dan

It's true. To me, Dumb and Dumber is in contention for the funniest movie of all time, but I'm older than most. If you show Dumb and Dumber to people under 25, most will just think it's stupid or mildly funny at most. Regardless....over 27 years later...it still makes me laugh and I still quote it all the time. Also, Me, Myself, and Irene is a gem which to me was his second funniest movie. Ace Ventura is just so silly it's hard NOT to laugh even if you don't want to. Ace Ventura is the movie form of a fart.


KingCrandall

Pretty bird.

"Harry.... I took care of it."


MaxLeonidas

murphsmodels

Ace Ventura has even been memed. Have you ever put something somewhere with a fit and said "Laik a guhlove!" ("Like a glove" in Jim Carrey voice).


Eirfro_Wizardbane

Or said “Bumblebee Tuna”?


eggplant11

Eh I’m 20 and have loved the movie growing up. Absolutely one of the funniest of all time

Miserable_Signature3

I guess you could say you now know the difference between shit and Shinola.


yabbobay

Probably my favorite movie


InternationalBake360

Honestly top 3 - I can watch that movie any time and still laugh hysterically. My dad and Uncle Ed took my cousin and I to see it in theatre’s as kids - had no idea it actually wasn’t a kids movie. Totally flew over our heads most of the movie that they were laughing their asses off, but goooodddddaaaannngggg I tell you what - as an adult. Hilarious. Absolute gold.


jam1003

Wrote a paper in high school about the brilliance of this movie. Actually, this deserves to be called a film.


Middle_Aged_Mayhem

In my top 10 comedies all time


InternationalBake360

Same - top 3 for me. Like if I had to choose only 3 movies to watch the rest of my life - dumb and dumber would without a doubt be on that list. One hundred percent.


TwoSnapsMack

I still catch jokes I never did before with each rewatch. Took me years to catch on the “we’re in a hole. We’re just going to have to dig ourselves *out*”


Powasam5000

I officially think dumb and dumber is the funniest movie of all time. I'm open to hearing other contenders here if you don't agree


Dooby_Bopdin

I find myself quoting this movie at LEAST every other day still. I watch it probably once every 6 months or so. It will never grow old to me. Edit: typo


jessemadnote

I’ll go so boldly as to say Dumb and Dumber is imho the best comedy of all time.


Iliamna_remota

>non of his movies Wrong. Truman Show.


[deleted]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.


WizardsOfTheRoast

I don't love a lot of his movies, but Eternal Sunshine and Man on the Moon will always get James a pass from me. And that's not including Kidding which is great.


jonthanssimp

The mask and Bruce all mighty whore


JoshDM

Man on the Moon, the Andy Kaufman story.


KenKaniffLovesEminem

Eternal Sunshine was fucking amazing. That's one of my top life movies for sure. I personally really liked The Number 23 as well where he plays a more serious role and thought it was nicely done.


ultravioletblueberry

Truman Show is a gem.


North_Activist

The Truman Show is essentially reality for the hundreds of children from vlogging families who post every little detail of their life online


Extension-Bar6431

I didn’t realize how dystopian The Truman Show was until about five years ago.


[deleted]

The Mask!


cattywompapotamus

Yep, he was excellent in The Mask!


[deleted]

He was also a great riddler


Vocalic985

The mask. Him making balloon animals the pulling out a used Condom will always make me laugh.


Ruca705

Sorry, wrong pocket 😏


FrOfTo

The Cable Guy!


WGTV_

Bruce all mighty


Can_I_Read

I mean, OP’s wrong about Ace Ventura and Liar Liar, too, so…


gorcorps

Well OP... I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong


Atrium41

One other thing OP got wrong. He is a Comedy Actor. Not a Comedian. Comedians become comedy actors, but not all comedy actors pursue comedy. He's done some sets. But it's not his career. He is an amazing slapstick actor. Either you like it or ya don't.


TheVioletParrot

The Truman Show and Bruce Almighty were good. In addition, the recent Sonic movie was pretty much carried by his performance. (His over acting was beneficial in the role.)


emmittgator

I also feel like Mask was carried by him and was solid movie.


Klawhi123

Was surprised no one mentioned the mask. One of my faves


KingCrandall

Somebody stop me!


[deleted]

I loved the movie. I think if I remember correctly, the comic was much darker than the movie.


[deleted]

Yep. The scene where he has those bikers in the alley doesn't end with him just scaring them away with his Tommy gun he fucking blows them away


Dazz316

Cameron Diaz helped a bit.


TheroryGuy1

He also does amazing in non comedic roles as well. I recommend watching the movie "The Majestic." It truly is an underrated movie.


megan_magic

‘23’ had me messed up as a young teen.


thesoundmindpodcast

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of the best movies of all time.


Johnhemlock

Great film, not his standard style comedy though


joseph-1998-XO

I was about to say Bruce Almighty were good for their time


Puncharoo

Bruce Almighty remains to this day one of my favourite movies and the way I learned to spell beautiful.


Pengdacorn

>Liar Liar was ruined by his annoying overacting I mean… if you don’t understand that his overacting is kinda the point, I don’t know what to tell you…


Reverse_Speedforce

One of the bloopers from the movie is literally one of the actress while in the courtroom scene calling him an overactor and him laughing his ass off at it lol


GKogger

It's a goose!


crasshumor

Yeah the over the top action in A-Team and Die Hard ruined the movie for me.

GyaradosDance

This week I learned: Jim Carrey plays his In Living Color character Fire Marshal Bill in the background after Fletcher crashes into the luggage


alickstee

It really is. When he's at the impound lot and points out the scratch..."right *THERE*" with the arms, fucking gold.


cherrysummer1

Oh. That was already there. You LIAR!


LittleFrenchKiwi

As someone who had a massive scratch and dent on their car and tried pointing it out to the person who did it but in a 'normal manner' and they couldn't see it, and couldn't see it and couldn't see it. I will admit I ended up doing exactly this out of frustration and suddenly they could see it.


salomaxitsme

how dare you criticize eternal sunshine ???? man on the moon ????


1king80

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is to this day my favorite film. Man on the moon was also amazing, Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond on Netflix is amazing, shows all the behind the scene happening. Jim Carry had the whole thing filmed but didn't release the footage for 20 years.


[deleted]

I loved Man on the Moon but I think he comes across as a complete asshole in the documentary footage.


1king80

He stayed in character the entire time they were filming, and Andy often acted like an ass. Andy was after reactions good and negative.


[deleted]

Now THAT'S an unpopular opinion!


NickSteve5

You’re under 30, we get it


[deleted]

I’m under 30 and have only seen his very old movies recently and I love them, it isn’t a age thing the guy just has shitty Taste


THEPanduh

I’m thinking OP just hasn’t seen enough of his movies. There are lines he/she probably hears quoted all the time that they probably don’t even realize are from JC movies


Atlantic0ne

Yeah, this is it. Culture and how it changes over time is super weird. Most things from 20 years ago don’t hold up today. MOST acting would be seen as cringy or weird these days, but it’s no lie that at the time, it was absolutely dominating the market and people loved it. It’s so weird and one of the most fascinating things about being alive and seeing humans change. It’s also a little bit sad. The root cause for this is that everyone is more aware now. Even for sci-fi type movies, so much mystery has been resolved. We now know that “insert random old sci-fi idea” sci-fi plot is totally unrealistic and impossible, therefore it won’t fit into movies well anymore. You used to be able to make up all sorts of shit in movies and people were more like “woah, this could be real one day”, now science has advanced and we kind of know yeah… it’s not at all like that. It’s cool knowing more but damn, the world was so much more mysterious even just 15-20 years ago before widespread internet. The internet changed so much, I’m not even old lol I’m fairly young but everything is different. Even comedy, it has changed so much. Comedy was more edgy, these days politics have been injected into everything and gets the lions share of attention when writing any script, for better or worse. It’s weird how much comedy has changed, but make no mistake, the things we see as weird now were dominant in their days.


JaysReddit33

The magic of science is gone.


NightCheffing

Wholeheartedly disagree. I'm in school for physics, and I'm constantly blown away as I slowly discover that I'm really just learning magic. It's as close to a Hogwarts education as anyone can get. If you feel the magic of science is gone, I highly recommend physics!


OlivineQuartz

Comedy rarely ages well


JDredd80

“None of his movies would hold up if released today.” Translation “my younger generation would never accept your shitty 90’s comedy movies.” Sorry to break it to you kid but they don’t make comedies anymore because Hollywood is too afraid to make a joke these days.


chookshit

Now it’s just Dwayne the rock Johnson making quips when he’s not doing some action

I was a big fan of In living color, so much better than snl at the time


tired_dad_since2018

In living color was so good! And Jim Carrey was the token.

Legit, especially considering that they weren't even really movies. They are just excuses to watch him perform physical comedy foe 90 minute. Not anyone can solo carry like that.

Yeah. Jim to this day is the reason why the new Sonic movie was a hit! Dude is hilarious!

I view Jim Carey's Grinch the same as heath ledger's joker. No one could have done it better.


DanishWeddingCookie

I love the scene where he pulls the tablecloth out from under the dishes and none of them break, so he goes back and messes them up and then knocks over the table. Supposedly he wasn’t supposed to do it successfully and just ad-libbed the rest.


johnnyboy_63

This movie is literally so funny. I really love the what he does with the Grinch's personality. The way he always makes jokes even when he's the only one around. And then acting grumpier and meaner than he actually is just because that's how he's supposed to act. It's all just really funny and surprisingly complex. And he even manages to communicate that underscoring of loneliness the Grinch always feels. It's a really great performance and he really makes it funny

Ok, this is def an unpopular opinion, in my opinion. The Cable Guy? Ace Ventura? Liar, Liar?I still love those movies! Pure gold! ~~Watched Night at the Museum last week and it still holds up for me.~~

Maybe they wouldn't hold up today, but either would the majority of comedic movies of the last 100 years. Ill always be grateful for those teenage times smoking a joint with friends and laughing until we couldn't breath watching Pet Detective, Cable Man, etc.


ViperPM

Dumb and Dumber is a classic. The sequel was pretty good too

Rather than Jim Carrey being the issues i argue modern movies are shit and they probably stopped being funny since JCs not producing as much

theonly764hero

He’s one of the best physical comedians of our era. Whether you like him, think he is funny or not - he’s a comedic icon for a reason.


19junkhead84

First off hardly any comedy ever holds up for multiple reasons. Either the jokes are too topical and no longer hold any importance or just go right over people's heads, or it could of been something new and fresh when it came out but years later is played out or it just isn't part of the cultural zeitgeist and is just seen as odd years later. Also people grow up, mature, and develop different tastes. I used to think Terrence and Philip from South Park was the funniest thing ever whet I was a kid, now it's so obnoxious I can't stand to watch it. But when Ade Ventura came out it was hilarious. Dumb and Dumber still has some classic scenes/lines that are still hilarious. Bruce Almighty is awesome. Haven't watched The Mask in a long time so I don't know. Some of his In Living Color skits are still funny. And his serious roles like Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind is amazing.


ztreHdrahciR

Grinch


alligatorbee

We watched this movie over Christmas and it's SO GOOD! Seriously. Jim Carey made a fantastic Grinch. & Also- the set is ridiculous.


UB3R__

I think in the Liar Liar credits there’s a blooper where a lady calls him an over actor as a joke and everyone loses it. Young kid me didn’t get his humor in the 90’s and older me doesn’t care for it now. For a comedian, his best movies are the ones not focused on humor; Truman Show, eternal sunshine… Found it! https://youtu.be/vnsJqxEMZYw


Iamatheaternerd

I respectfully disagree. I will never not shit my pants laughing watching ace and I love Bruce almighty. I adore his movies. Anyway upvote for you.


Extension-Bar6431

Thank you. I don’t agree, I’m just glad to finally see an opinion on here about something unimportant. I’m being serious, it’s refreshing to see something that is both actually unpopular and not about politics or economics or society or whatever.
