I have CPTSD, and one way I deal is by my TV being on all the time (it's complicated why, I'll spare you). It must be "happy sounds". This fits that bill, so I can quote it nearly word for word, just from having TV in the background at all times, lol There are so many things I can do that with. (I get called out for "watching TV all day", but whatever...it just MUST be on. I'm not sitting there staring at it.) Anyway, said all that to say that I get the "old friend" reference.
Aren't you guys sweet? My home was very violent as a child. This violence would occur on weekends when everyone was home. Back in the day, there were like 2 or 3 channels on the TV, and those were often cruddy. On weekends, there was nothing. So...silence. There was danger in that silence. It was rare for there to be violence during the week when there were sitcoms and game shows on (I guess the adults were too tired for it???). So now, even in my 50s, I don't like the silence. I like the sounds of sitcoms, game shows, or funny movies in the background. I will even stream the old 1970s Match Game sometimes because it reminds me of those safe times, ( like during summer vacations when no adults were home) when I could just be a kid and play. Those sounds were in that safe background. So now it's a comfort. I haven't lived in violence, for many, many years, but when you literally cut your teeth on it, it's just a part of you. It's definitely a harmless way to deal with trauma, but people being what they are will say ugly things to me about it being on all the time. You'd think people would grow up and realize not all of us had it easy as kids, but no. It's also what hubby and I like to do on weekends. We cuddle and watch movies or TV. It's my safe space. Glad to "meet" kindred spirits! :)
"Wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" Fun Fact: Jim Carrey chipped his tooth years earlier, but had the cap removed for the film to make his character look more deranged. Lost In Translation Fact: The bikini girl played by Anna Anka is speaking Swedish in the bikini bus scene. She greets with "Hej allihopa" (Hey everybody) and says goodbye with "Hejdå" (Bye). What Script Fact: When Harry (Jeff Daniels) and Lloyd (Jim Carrey) are in the car, Lloyd asks if Harry wants to hear the most annoying sound in the world. This was not originally in the script, you can tell by the look on Jeff Daniels' face. Legendary Director Fact: Jeff Daniels claimed he was at a golf course one day when Clint Eastwood told him that he had just seen the movie. Daniels braced himself for a negative reaction, but to his surprise Eastwood wanted to tell Daniels that the bathroom scene had happened to him once when he was on a date. Daniels later co-starred with Eastwood in Blood Work (2002).
I have a Jim Carey story for y'all. I am from Memphis. I was having dinner with a guy that worked in marketing for St. Jude Children's Hospital. He told me a lot of celebrity stories about them visiting the hospital. Jim Carey went there to visit and entertain the children. He got on the elevator to go to another floor to see more children, and asked the St. Jude escort to stop the elevator. He completely collapsed, crying (a lot of these children were stricken with very serious or terminal diseases). He then collected himself, and continued to the next floor to visit and entertain more kids. This was decades ago that I heard this story, but it stuck with me, so I have nothing but respect for that man.
“Hey guys! Whoa, Big Gulps, huh? All right.” Those guys weren’t actors in the union; they were just standing around the 7-11 with Big Gulps and got put in the movie and we got this piece of comedy gold. “Welp, see ya later!”
I watch that every time it’s on. I also know, thanks to my dad growing up with him, Steve Sweeney, Jim Carey’s neighbor in that. The Farrelly brothers nailed their career with the first 3 movies they wrote and directed being Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary, and Me, Myself & Irene. Green Book and Fever Pitch are also some of their best work.
35:21 - The "We've landed on the moon!" scene wasn't scripted. Jim Carrey saw that framed newspaper on the day and improvised that. So funny that they had him do it again and filmed it.
It’s a classic for sure, it’s a movie that gets funnier the more times you watch it. “The Cable Guy” is my favorite Jim Cary movie, and one of my favorite movies ever
The malapropism (mistaking one word for another) that Lloyd was referring to when he said "rapist wit" was in reference to the phrase "rapier wit" with a rapier being a very sharp, pointed sword, and is defined as the "ability to deliver witty and cutting remarks".
Oh I didn't know that, I thought Lloyd was just being demented, I would argue he's the crazier of the two since he literally fantasies about murdering Marry's husband
Addicted to your reactions, J. This is probably the movie I’ve seen the most times in my life. Fun fact for you, Sea Bass is played by Hall of Fame NHL player (and current president of the Boston Bruins) Cam Neely. He recently told a story on a hockey podcast about his time in this film. “I kick the door open and I’m supposed to have this surprised look on my face. ‘Cut! Cam, can you get a little bit more of a shocked look on your face?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, okay.’ Second take, third take, fourth take - now I’m freaking out. I’m like, I got Jim Carey sitting on a milk crate, he’s making ten million or whatever he did for that movie. I’m wasting everyone’s time. So I pulled Jim aside, I go, ‘Listen, Jim, please just bear with me - I’m really struggling here.’ He goes, ‘Ah, Cam, don’t worry about it. I’ve had some scenes that have taken 50 takes - just relax.’ Next take, I kick the door open and he’s mooning me, so they got the shot.” And that’s the scene in the movie, you can tell because Sea Bass is surprised but can’t help but smile 😂
Supposedly, the scene at 19:52 where the killer (Mike Starr) gets annoyed in the van is actually a real life reaction. Jim Carrey and Jedd Daniels were in character for so long that he'd just had enough.
About 25 years ago I was in Chicago. They didn't have skin magazines in the street dispensers like newspapers, but they did have things like the old "Trading Post" papers but for escorts. They had a couple of different ones with all kinds of services offered. I did take a couple of samples because I didn't think anyone back home would believe it if I told them. Harry actually did end up hitting Carry in the back of the legs. Not sure if it was an accident or he just didn't realize how hard the hit would be. Carry did a great job of playing it off though.
I remember we didnt eat much of the pop corn that was passed around the table when we saw this on vhs!nobody wanted to choke on pop corn that afternoon!
15:18 "someone bites you in the balls, you have to kill that person because that's a demon.." 🤣that scene always cracks me up because that nut chomp was so insanely unnecessary - he was already winning the fight!! he literally goes from dazing the guy to using his balls as punching bag practice, then decides to snack, like what the everliving hell, man
That kid in the red coat watching Harry get his tongue pulled off the frozen ski lift... same kid that stuck his tongue to the flagpole in A Christmas Story. LOL
Dude.... you have the best laugh, and your facial expressions right before you say, "shut the fuck up." Pricesless. There are so many things and lines from this movie me and my friends have just incorporated into our normal, everyday conversation now. Seeing you react to how outlandish and over the top some of it is is fantastic. It's one reason I love your channel. I'm happy to see your channel growing with success. It's nice to see good people have success. Great reaction to such a classic. Appreciate you! 👏👏👏
New to this channel here but I had to sub right away 😂. This is one of my favorite movies of all time not just comedy. But watching you react I was crying laughing. Nothings made me laugh that hard in a long time 😂😂😂. I think this movie starts stronger than any other comedy. “I got worms!!”
I can't decide what made me laugh hardest. The hysterical laughter from you, or those blank disbelief stares into the camera. You had my ribs feeling like I'd pulled something on both sides. A fantastic reaction. Thank you.
I remember seeing this when i was younger thinking “there’s no way someone can poop that much” …. Then when i got older i got salmonella…… shit happens 🤣
Watching this in the theater was so fun! The whole theater was rolling with laughter! It was the toilet scene that really got everyone going! Great movie!
One of my favorite stories of all time, my wife and I were going out to dinner late one night and as I'm sitting at the red light, two guys were crossing in the crosswalk dressed as Lloyd and Harry in their light blue and orange tuxes. I had to turn around and drive past them yelling "I love you guys!".
There was a veteran of the Iraq War named David Bellavia in a book he wrote about the experience detailed a hand to hand fight to the death with an insurgent, and that guy bit the author in the b*lls in a desperate attempt to survive.
My son and i seen this 3 times in 2 days. We laughed so hard we had see it again next showing. We laughed so hard we missed most of it again. Had to go again the next day
This is a great reaction to a hilarious and valuable movie. How is it valuable? I took a girl to see this on a first date when it was in theaters. I laughed my ass off and she just sneered at it the whole way through. That's how I immediately knew she wasn't the one.
The person who played Sea Bass ,Cam Neely was a professional hockey player, still playing in the NHL when this movie came out... Yeah he got teased by teammates and opponents alike 😆😆
The big, tough trucker guy at the cafe…the “Sea Bass” character is played by Cam Neely, an NHL Hall of Famer. One of the best power forwards to ever play…and he was/is huge. 6’3” 235lbs when he played. A no joke, huge tough guy and hardcore player, who also scored a bunch. He was a huge star in hockey when this came out. He’s now the president of the Boston Bruins (the team he famously played for). These directors are huge New England area sports fans and they put a lot of star athletes (especially guys who play in New England/northeast part of the US) in their movies in small roles.
My favorite movies Jim Carrey has done is LIAR LIAR, The Mask, ME, Myself and Irene, this one, Ace Ventura Pet Detective and Ace Ventura When nature calls. I first followed Jim Carrey from A living Color....SHOUT OUT TO LIVING COLOR. Loved living Color ❤
I have a migraine. Each time I laugh it's a nightmare. Yet it's worth it to watch J watching this... I don't know if it's a masterpiece or a clusterfuck or both at the same time, but it's a classic. XD ♥
Please please please watch American Graffiti. George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola made it, it’s one of the best time capsule movies for the 1960s. Made a year after The Godfather and before Star Wars.
Oh man, when Harry reaches WAY BACK and hits Lloyd in the back of his legs with that cane....that kills me; Every...single...time. WHACK!!! But my fovorite spoken line is, "That John Denver is full of shit!"
Sounds like you have a thing for Jim Carrey movies like i do for Adam Sandler movies 😂 His early couple of movies were funny in middle school but I got tired of his weird baby voice pretty quickly.
35:20 “We’ve landed on the moon!” bit was ad libbed by Jim Carry, you can see the actors and extras starting to laugh just before the scene cuts. The directors thought it was so funny that the added it to the movie.
Fun fact: "Sea Bass" (the guy who spits in the burger) is played by Boston Bruins great (and Hall of Famer) Cam Neely. Apparently, he was a huge Jim Carrey fan and wanted a part in one of his movies :) Fun fact #2: The cop who drinks the pee is played by Harland Williams. Back in Canada, Jim Carrey used to test-read his jokes on Harland. :) Fun fact #3: in the original script, the guys were supposed to drive off in the bus with the bikini babes. Carrey objected, saying it was funnier if they blew this opportunity as well. Carrey got his way, and I think they made the right call.
Jim Carrey had the part right away for this movie but Jeff Daniel's they had to do the movie 3 times and had to be sure he was good enough for the role.
Your recognition of actors is impeccable. Like “isn’t that Dennis Quaid's wife in Any Given Sunday” is a 💎. Also that guy reminds me Patrick Swayzes buddy in Ghost was spot on. 🏆
They made actually made a 3rd movie called Dumb and Dumberer When Harry met Lloyd and explains how he gets the chipped tooth in the 3rd movie. They used different actors for Harry and Lloyd that are look alikes but younger versions of them.
I honestly forgot how good this movie was. We now know Jay can identify demons. Excellent reaction and editing, it was great watching Jay actively turning off his brain to enjoy it. God bless you guys with excellence!
26:15 Fun fact: there’s a pair of guys with a RU-vid channel that build bikes. They constructed nearly an exact replica of this bike and rode it from Lincoln, Nebraska to Aspen, Colorado. It took them three days to make the trip. I’d recommend checking it out. It was a fun episode.
i always love being distracted by your puppies in the background.. I've never been a dog person. I like my kitty. but my mom had her little dog from her dad and she was the sweetest thing in the world for nobody but her. She lived nearly 50% longer than the average for her breed in this shitty place just to keep my mom company.
24:23 Those 2 guys were watching the crew film in that location when the director asked if they wanted to be in the movie. Jim improvised the big gulp line.
