Liar Liar - Nostalgia Critic 

Excuse me, I need a spoõüuu- It’s okay, I found one!

Clever Comment, and for those wondering the name of each film here: 1. Liar Liar 2. Yes Man 3. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 4. The Truman Show 5. Bruce Almighty

@@CLDJ227 I love the "Yes Man", but i personally wish the movie didn't have a third-act break-up. it doesn't even needed one. You could rewrite the film to have carrey's character, carl, tell his love interest allison (zooey deschanel's character), his "curse to say yes only", from the very first moment they met at the gas station (him, still angry he had to walk to get the gas he need for his car, telling her he only got into this mess because a "covenant" he made with a spokesman to only say yes to everything). And that making her take an interest on him (at first testing him if he really has to say yes to everything, but eventually liking him for real) You could still have a climax with carl's "say yes to everything" coming back to bite him either in form of him being considered a terrorist, or, after he says no once, and "breaking the covenant", causing his bad luck to escalate to the point of maybe even getting hit by a lightning or his apartment catching in flames. And the movie could still have that scene of carl realizing "bad things happened simply because that's life, not because he broke the covenant", and the spokesman saying "Yes. Shit happens." And then ending with a scene basically copying "it's a wonderful life", with all the people carl helped across the film, thanks to the "say yes commitment", coming to help him back.

Don't forget the split personality one, my favorite Jim Carrey movie: My, Myself, and Irene.

A man who's dumber

He’s played by Westley from The Princess Bride. That helps.

@@chasehedges6775 And a Robin Hood who, unlike some others, could speak with an ENGLISH accent.

That honestly makes it worse. Carrey is basically the villain for most of this movie, and then because he has a moment of clarity, the good guy gets screwed over and banished.

@@SionnachOghma moments like that makes me appreciate movies like enchanted. where the supporting cast got a happy ending too.

​@@ianr.navahuber2195And Venom, where the new boyfriend is a great guy and she stays with him. So instead of getting back together they just become friends again.

Ah, Skull. And 18:34 Doug ain't crazy because that's Skull

I always thought that was the funniest bit.

"it's blue...the g*ddamn pen is blue..."🤣🤣🤣

I think as a kid that was the first time a movie made me laugh so hard I could not breathe.

It's such a Looney Tunes moment that there's a video on RU-vid where someone dubs over the lines in the scene with a Daffy Duck impression.

​@@brandonspain12345 Which is strange to me that Jim Carrey hasn't done anything Looney Tunes.. A missed opportunity right there..

​@@mathewhaightI laughed my a__ at that when I was a kid as well.. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 My sisters, mother and I was literally gut holding laughing.. Jim is just amazingly special...Never forget those Vanilla Ice skits he did in on *"In Living Color"* Pure genius..

To be fair, that is pretty good legal advice.

If there's ever a day I don't laugh at "YOUR HONOUR, I OBJECT!" "On what grounds?" "BECAUSE IT IS DEVESTATING TO MY CASE!" then just consider my soul dead.

I also like that part in the boardroom where he takes that guys toupee and puts it against the wall like he scalped him xD

I like to think that's the advice Trump is getting A LOT from his lawyers, word for word.

I yell that out loud while driving all the time.

And how can you not love when he goes on a list of roasts with everybody else: "Loser! Idiot! Wimp! Degenerate! SLLLLLLLLUT!!!!" 😂

@@welcometothemetaverse2523 I'll see you later dickhead! 😂

I love it because it's great scene that betrays your expectations. You think it's going to go horribly like everything else when it actually works out. I know some people say it's forced, but I think it makes sense if you realize the guy was looking for someone honest and not another brown nose suck up.

This movie taught me what "pedantic" and "belligerent" meant too. 🤣

I always thought Mr. Alan made an exception b/c he thought Fletcher was an asset to the firm. Taking Fletcher's words as the cocky behavior of a yuppie high on his success, he reframed it as a "roast" with the intention of dressing him down later.

Yes, even while he's saying it, you can even see him hearing it for the first time while it's coming out of his mouth, like he was expecting to say something else. It's amazing.

What makes the scene more impactful is that the way the curse works is that he can only say things he knows are true. We see this with Kevin while he's prepping him for his testimony. He loses his ability to question him once he knows Kevin plans to lie. This means that Fletcher himself believes he is a bad father and that he's been lying to himself.

The small moments when a comedian can show some acting chops is always truly appreciated

Check him out in the movie the majestic

Yes! I like that line delivery better than either of the two he called the funniest.

@@someguy7424 honestly the pen line and the back and forth of "What in god's name are you doing?!" "I'm kicking my own ass do you mind?!" Are for me the best lines in the film

@@grandadmiralzaarin4962used to watch this with my grandpa and the line “I’m kicking my ass!! Do you mind?!” Always made both of us cry with laughter

Dumb in concept, smart in execution is the perfect way to describe this movie.

This scene was when I realised Carrey was in fact a good actor. This was before The Trueman Show or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I still just saw him as a goofy guy making funny faces for a living, I didn't expect that kind of scene from that kind of film.

@@traditionalempress6961 That really describes a lot of jim carrey movies, they would be shitty bad movies if anyone else did them, but some how he makes it work.

Not even a dumb movie at all. A habitual liar who is suddenly unable to lie is actually a smart premise.

👏

He's Elwes, Cary Elwes! Nobody in their right mind would pass up that gem of a person.

@@Grintock A lot us who saw Robin Hood: Men in Tights did not know it was him in Liar Liar since we were used to how he looked as Robin Hood.

@@Grintock I met him a few years ago and HE IS STILL SO HOT...my gawd. 🥵 I asked him what his favorite PB quote was and he said "Anybody want a peanut?" 😆

I like to think that he got those kids back to the dad as well in that one year later title sequence...

I think the reason why it is such a killer line is because of his delivery mixed with the facial expression mixed with the phone so far from his face

Preceded by "Your client is on the phone and wants your legal advice." 😆

I've never thought about it, but you're absolutely right

I always pay attention to hair, his is always noticed in his movies, he looks like an actual lawyer in this aka an a hole

His hair is incredible in this film.

As a stylist dude I must respect that hair

Right after we appreciate Jennifer Tilly's cleavage. It'll only take a minute.

In a college class myself and some other students had to re-create that scenes audio and it was a blast trying to match Carreys performance while just voice acting

25 years. Watched this movie as a kid and wrestling religiously, and JUST NOW I realize that Taker was referencing that scene when he beat up David Flair.

Mine is the second ace Ventura movie.

Mine has to be the Truman Show. Though The Cable Guy is delightfully dark. I mostly remember this movie for the blooper reel (which was fantastic).

Carrey's line was actually "I'm Kicking my own a@$$! DO YOU MIND?!!!" I also love that scene! I also have "Liar Liar" on DVD 😉😉😁😁

My friend says that whenever his sister comes in

Know what that's a reference to?

@@johnnythewalrus didn't know it was a reference? 🤔 Just always thought it was a funny line

I worked at a movie theater back in the 90s and saw pretty much every movie before the general public did.

thats pretty neat, it probably felt exciting knowing that you were the first before many

That’s so cool!

“I’m kicking my ass, do ya mind?!”

@@Duckman_Drake Him describing himself to the letter and no one picking up on it just kills me. 💀

@@QuantaSolace Big teeth, kind of gangly. 😂

Yeah, imagine a man saying that to a woman. I know the feeling.

And when he keeps repeating the line and laughing to himself afterwards while brushing his teeth makes it even funnier lol

I was 8 when I first saw this and had to ask what he meant by that. My dad said it meant he was a bad man, so I spent a few years thinking “I’ve had better” was some kind of metaphor or idiom to mean “I’m a bad man”.

Yes, can I ask you a question… would you call him corny?

"STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE" Is so memorable😂

@@nsasupporter7557 He is very corny.

@@titusmccarthy then you don’t know the definition of the word, either that or haven’t really seen any of his movies… Jim Carrey is not corny!! He’s the most amazingly talented entertainer in cinema history. Would you ever call someone who’s as talented as him corny? Since you don’t seem to know what corny means it means “cheap,” “not very good,” “laughably bad”

Until this review I actually remembered that as being a line from the Crucible. It's that good.

Who'd he play? I'm blanking right now.

@@jacenskywalker507the mothers new boyfriend, it took me a good minute to recognize that it was actually him! Maybe it’s because he doesn’t have a mustache haha

​@@kendrickdingeror blond hair

cary has some of the best comedic timing in the biz

@@MineralTown which always shocked me that i never saw him in much things after Men in Tights, one of my favorite comedies growing up

Was her idea of jogging to run to the mall for Black Friday?! 😂

They Reference Lair Lair in the Chucky TV season😂

Heavy lifting???? Yeah, "In her bra!!!"

@@RolandStone32 😂😂😂

ya, sometimes its best to use your imagination of knowing what he said that makes it funnier, i remember thinking the trailer edit was hilarious, and then seeing the scene i just kinda went "oh no!"

A goose

I can imagine!

Please tell me you said “pacifically” as a joke.

Fun fact about The Mask... I have this far a grave total of 27 women have sex with me based entirely on quotes from that movie, also if their too young to know what a VHS CASSETTE is, those numbers more than Triple.... morale of the story? KNOW YOUR COMEDY FELLAS! IT GETS YOU LAID!

Same

This and a Bruce Almighty are pure comedy gold

@@bogartwilley so true

@@gilly5809 and Gex was a PIMP even befote the Kid Rock sex tape lol

Especially finding out that it's what his own father use to do with Jim and his siblings. So much like The Mask, we get some kind of insight of the actor through a character

aah Borat and Jackass 2, i think the last times i legit cried laughing.

One of Jim Carrey’s best films

Similar experience for me

Same here.

I guess it's just one of those "unavoidable facts of life" moments or something they put in movies, like the donkey scene in Pinocchio?

I get the urge to sing that line prob once a week whenever someone is late to something XD

🤓☝️

@@1standlast pretty much

Yeah, I dunno what he's talking about this scene being forced, I thought it works as well as any other.

Yeah; I didn't think that scene was forced at all. There's a reason there's an old saying that only the court jester could speak the truth to the king; that scene in Liar Liar is running on the exact same logic.

@@Punished_Trump Do you mean you find the scene funny?

@@matthewmuir8884 Do you mean you find the scene to be funny and not forced?

@@brocksampson3405 Yes, I mean that I find the scene funny and not forced.

Caught that too lol
