Jim Carey. What is the big deal? I'm watching him right now on "Saturday Night Live" and...

I
Just
Don't
Get
It.

What is the big attraction?

Please explain, and then share what you Just Don't Get.

Go.

    I don't get him either. He does stupid humor. Doesn't make me laugh.

    But I do get the Black Keys :thumbup: They're worth the watch :D

    They were excellent, I agree. But I couldn't stomach the rest of the foolishness. And, as I think I've proven here, I have a high tolerance for foolishness.

    I'm going to have to get me some Black Keys.

    Meanwhile, what do you Just Not Get?

    It's stupid humor, but it's not stupid humor.. There is intelligence and genius behind it, and if you don't get it, I'm sorry. Humor needs to be something you can relate to. I guess he can't be everyone's cup of tea, but I've never laughed harder than to some of his work..

    You don't have to be sorry. I don't enjoy him, but I'm not torn up about it :lol:

    He was great in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. :thumbup:

    So was Kate Winslet. *drooools* She's so cute in that movie.

    I can't stand his "comedy" it's juvenile playground stuff.
    Nothing to do with Canadian comedy ... among others Kids in the Hall? ... One of the best sketch comedy shows ever.

    I liked Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ... but not because he was in it ... because it was a good story and unusual concept ... It was Kate Winslet that held the story together and Becks soundtrack that balanced the un-fortunateness that Jim Carey was in it.

    he really hasn't been funny in well over a decade. me myself and irene had it's moments. i guess i'll give him that.

    i liked him eternal sunlight/spotless mind (whatever the hell it was called) with kate winslett. truman show was great. but really he has not done anything worthwhile since the mid 90's. liar liar, the cheesy, was really funny back in the day.

    watching snl last night i told my fiance that he's just not funny anymore.

    dumb and dumber was his peak.

    I don't get the whole fascination with the Khardashian family. I don't get that at all.

    I tried really hard to watch it until the second Black Keys set, but I just couldn't.

    It was like I could feel my brain cells getting increasingly necrotic with every skit.

    I'm still confused as to who that family actually is. I've seen them....but not sure how they got famous...or ever seen them do anything besides be in photographs?

    Jim Carey the former Hockey goalie and Vezina trophy winner hosted SNL or do you mean Jim Carrey? That's who i saw last night, ;)

    Seriously I like him in a few things. Loved him in In Living Color. Eternal Sunshine was great. Liked him in 40 Year Old Virgin and Liar Liar. However I didn't like Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and ace Ventura. Heard he was good in Man On The Moon and The Truman Sho, but I never saw them

    Probably my fav Jim Carrey moment :lol:

    And I have to agree that because of him, Dumb and Dumber is THE funniest movie of all time. Nuff said.

    It's been bad for a while, but it had many glory years. Early on with Jim Belushi and the early 90s with Adam Sandler and Chris Farley.

    It can have it's glory again, they just need funnier people and better writers.
