in the film 'Liar Liar', he tells his son he cant tell a lie for 24 hours, and the kid, innocently spits out a bunch of questions he wants real answers, and his son goes, is it true that of Iake a funny face it might stay that way?' and he goes, no, son, it's not true, and some people make a really good living that way.' I got it, did you?
He literally is a man who left all his "fuxx" at home and went all out. This is actually a motivational tape for any of us who know what we are capable of but scared of doing it in fear of being judged/backlash. This guy is a blessing
100% right here. He looked in that mirror and said fuck em'. I'm gonna do me or not do it at all. Thankfully he chose this. "So you're telling me there's a chance" Yes Jim. Yes.
I saw the special when it first aired. What was on tv wasn't like today. I remember the shirt he's wearing and that I fell of the couch crying from laughter. But listening in Sept 2022 ah the oh..nuclear holocaust...yeah
One of Jim's best unrated movie's performance was in "cable guy" a film we need to watch again and again to see all the dark and funny details put on his character. Jim is unique!
Yes! A very interesting character. But somehow I feel Jim was relating to that character on a deep level. There is something behind Jim’s eyes that says lonely & pain.😢
Couldn't agree more! Just you mentioning such reminded me of how his character actually gave me the creeps one minute, funny the next, then annoyed and that ending was the icing on the cake. Very underrated movie and performance!
If You are depressed it is OK for now - but always remember that - even if You can not figure it out right now - you can be happy again - even happier than You ever were! Trust me because I made that same experience!
I never ever laughed out loud in my life :D I know him for so many years but this is genius. He’s so smart and everything have something different from others
He's just an incredible artist... I have been in some shows and no other was better than this one and watching him on KZclip. So funny and very touching. Thanks for making me laugh, I needed it
I love being able to see his standup acts. In Living Color was one of the first comedy sketch shows I watched growing up and it holds the most special place in my heart, seeing him bring out two of his most iconic characters from the show made my night. 😊❤️✨
Mr. Carrey has always been an influence in my life. Watching this made me realize that he was way ahead of his time. He also had some influences that I can not name now. From every thing this person has been through. I just want to say. He is one of my favorite human beings.
I saw this special when it came out on cable, way before, Ace Ventura, Liar Liar, Yes man, Me Myself and Irene, Bruce Almighty, The Truman Show, and most especially Man on the Moon. So much of this show embodies massive personas and ideas he later adapted into all of his greatest films. The fake nervous breakdown in his act was already tapping into the mind of Andy Kaufman, and looking to shock the audience rather than just make them laugh. To this day this is one of the most impressive solo comedic acts I’ve ever seen, all while remaining totally clean. This show will always be timeless, and a true testament to how much raw talent was inside of him already.
ngl the nervous breakdown section had my anxiety flaring up, I had to pause to relax a couple times. if shock was what he was going for, he succeeded 😅 tho im not sure of your definition of "clean," he certainly didn't swear but he *did* talk a lot about sex and drugs (and a sprinkling of mental health) XD so *maybe* not entirely family-friendly lol I do agree though, I can come back to this year after year and enjoy it just as much as the first time I watched it. A comedy classic.
If you could only describe Jim Carrey stand up in one way that wasn't too boastful or wasn't too crude but right in the middle I would say that he is the definition and image of a fully committed comedian and artist. Obviously I'd love to list a bunch of other positives but if I had one simple and mediocre way of describing him that would be it.
It’s fun that he pulls his imitations from such iconic bits of American cinema history. His imitation of chief Dan George from “the outlaw Josie Wales“is spot on in his bit about being from Canada
It took me awhile to catch up to figuring out why I have a weird strong attraction to strictly tall lanky Canadian dudes with good hair. This dude made every single movie he was in rememberable like no other actor or actress has done AND (deep down) he is a good person who just wants to be liked. He made such an impression on me that went unrecognizable till I started delving into Jim’s early stuff and was like oh yeah this explains my past relationship with a dude. My ex was a tall lanky prairie boy from Ontario who grew up going to acting school and the first letter of his name starts with a “j.” At 42 years, he had the best head of brown hair I’ve ever seen on a man. Turns out he was just as depressed as Jim which is why the relationship couldn’t go on longer. As much as I love him, he needs to be a single man. I was so enamored with him though. Everything is explainable 😄 Anyways, I love you Jim. Thank you for making this ‘94 baby innocently fall in love with you. I know I’m not the only one.
Watching it for the first time and it’s mental seeing it. Most of his jokes or bits made it into ace Ventura. He straight up does the grinch, Bruce almighty, the mask all within the first 30 mins. Love the bloke.
The most wonderful thing about Jim Carrey is not how extremely fun and funny he is... it´s the insane amount of work, creativity, dedication, perfectionism, frustration, training, knowledge, preparation, need, vision, determination, conscience, self awareness, obsession, enlightment... etc etc etc etc etc etc he needs to have to deliver such successful performances! 🙌 Just my kind of being!... Hope his mind gets digitalized before he goes so the world can have him foreva!!!! 🌏
I have loved Jim since I first saw him on In Living Color. Ace Ventura was my favorite movie for years, still is. I practiced in the mirror for years and was able to do a lot of his faces.😜 I still love him. That said, watching this makes me incredibly sad now. I never saw his stand up. Knowing now that this comedy most often comes from a place of despair, loneliness, wanting to be accepted,etc. I wish I could give him a hug. I know how he feels. I'm so glad he's living a life he wants to and is able to now. He is so artistic and talented in so many ways. His paintings are gorgeous. Love you James!!! 💘💖 You were and always will be someone I look up to.
I grew up watching all of his stuff and I even snuck into the movies that weren't for my age AT ALL. he was my favourite and still is. this man is somebody I will forever look up to. I dream of one day seeing him in person. what a guy
He is a one of a kind, absolute gem of a unique human being who mastered more than one craft with an inimitable style, energy and creativity. I hope he can find as much happiness and fulfillment as we get watching his art
It's actually scary to watch this. The pain behind the "mental breakdown" part, as well as other skits in his performance were just too realistic...things people wouldn't normally pay attention to unless they were of the same mind-frame as himself. These things became built up with time, and eventually, he became what he is today. People were laughing during the skits. But personally, I was terrified, knowing how much of a reality that stuff was for his mind.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 That video is a historical relic of comedy gold and a pure piece of artwork. All the while displaying some of the best physical theatrics I've ever seen personally
The paradox is that jim displayed the actual natural state of human minds, which is like this so restless and unpredictable. So he actually did this extremely natural act, while people do it unnaturally !!! Master fuckin piece, jim carry is. And there are layers to what can be learnt from this man just by observing him doing things and talking, closely. ❤
It's incredible how comedians still manage to make people laugh even when they facing tragic personal problems ❤ I wish to meet Jim one-day cause somewhere somehow his character is the reflection of my own but only when I'm alone and that's the power tool to keep me happy and positive all the time but when I step outside everything changes and that's actually sad
I was fortunate to grow up, watching him from his start on "In Living Color" and his meteoric skyrocket to unbelievable success. What a talented guy! It was a fun ride.
There were like only two parts where I wasn't laughing through this whole thing. You know you're a true comedian when you can still make someone laugh today with something that was filmed for a generation long before yours. No one is like him, not at that level. Truly spectacular, and will be in the archives of the greatest comedians who have ever lived. He will be remembered today, tomorrow, and beyond until the end of time. The 30's and 40's gave us Charlie Chaplin; the 90's into the 2000's gave us Jim Carry.
Forgive me, but I fail to see Robin Williams being that funny. I know he came ealier than Jim, yet I find lots of his jokes to be a bit rude and corny. Jim is definitely the better one here.
yeaaaa dude. but also i love ROBIN WILLIAMS !!!🙏🙏 🤩😍 He was also a GREAT IMPROVISATION !! i like love them both same !!! .. Just Robin more laidback ....
I watched all his movies & shows, definately Jim Carey is not for everybody (you love it or you hate it), his unique humor style, passion, spontaneity & his hard work face expressions (btw poor face afterwards) makes him one of the most outstanding comedy actors of the world!✌
His facial expressions are just the best. The "reminiscing guy" just kills me, with the chewing tongue gag. Oh my god every time I see it, it just tears me apart.
Jim really becomes the character he is portraying.It’s like he leaves his body & the character enters & takes over,sort of like possessed if you like.He is the best at what he does & not just another stand up comedian but a genius in his art.
I watched some documentary a while ago called Jim and Andy where they follow Carrey getting into character for a role as Andy Kaufman. He was always in character. He became so good at it that when he would be around family members of Andy, they'd really feel like they were talking to Andy, not Carrey. I can only imagine what kind of toll that can take on one's mental health, changing personas throughout life, but I admire how dedicated he was to his career, truly one of the greatest
favorite comedian of all time. no one has made me laugh and smile more. i know this man has so much more going on behind the scenes thats been dealt with. i only hope he is happy in this day.
My parents were lucky enough to see him perform on the street in Dundas, Ontario decades ago before he was even on TV (I think he had some small news segments on him by then, but that's it). I can't imagine what young Jim Carrey was like. I read his autobiography when I was in high school, and he was kinda odd to say the least lol. One part that sticks out is him f___king the shag carpet... When I did my presentation on the book, my teachers were appalled and when I told them I got the book from the school library, they went and got it and threw it in the trash hahaha
Why is having fun and being imaginative deemed as insanity? I think it`s the total opposite and a sign of sanity. To me the insane people are the ones who are too serious and don`t know how to have fun, without worrying about what other people think of them. We can all relate to Jim Carrey in one way or another, that`s why he made a living doing what he does. He chose not to shy away from his own authenticity and people admire him for that. It takes courage to be that way in this world. Children know how to experience unfiltered joy in the moment. When adults can still connect with their inner child, then that is a magical moment. :) Life is for living, then why not live it joyfully! :)
There's not another brilliantly insane person on Earth who can stand for 42 minutes and dare anyone to *not* absolutely love him ... and win. God bless you Jim. 👍😎
the impressions were awesome, the faces and body movements are insane lol he has you coming and going , taking you through all emotions in one setting, so freaky but so caturing
He was all I cared about as a kid. I idolized him as ace Ventura. My cousins and I would compete who could do the best jim impressions. And Dumb and Dumber I quote on a daily basis!!🎉
I remember seeing this several years ago. I've never laughed to the point where I was in pain, but Jim Carey did that to me. My stomach still hurt the next day.
The most beautiful thing about Jim Carrey's act is that he made a Hollywood career by putting every face, physical comedy and impersonation in his movies and you can say "oh! this is fromThe Mask" or "He talked like that in Liar Liar". A freaking genius ,:^)#
Jim Carrey the funniest comedian to ever live! Seeing how funny he was/is and how many people he was able to make laugh made me want to make people laugh.safe to say I’ve made plenty of people laugh and smile but no where even close to Jim and never will be in a million years lol! GREAT HUMOR WILL ALWAYS BE CONTAGIOUS
This is life, but not as we know it, Jim... Let us just breathe for a minute and take it all in... God, this is beautiful... Look at that mushroom cloud...
The body language bit was great, I love experimenting with this. My pal and I got a mullet hair cut for a joke and we would walk into work postured smoking a cig and showing off the sick hair cuts walking with unnatural confidence. It’s hard to describe but I laughed so hard I almost lost a lung.
Bro that is giving 100%! Dude the body language part had me rolling and so many other parts too especially the Indian music or music from the Middle East. Honestly you couldn't get away with a lot of these jokes even though they were pretty non-racist but people would call them racist nowadays because they are stereotype even though they could be 90% true he'd still get semi canceled or something like that. And I don't even think he would do comedy like this anymore cuz he tries to be so woke but nonetheless that was 100% effort right there and it was pure comedy and it was hilarious
He is like a physical embodiment of a cartoon.
@Kustaa Kallopano 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And we love him for it!
Works in the movies his stand up sucks
Yes he is 🤣☺️💕☺️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Take my like, your thousandth 😁
24.00 he started the foo eating thing thing before covid lol
He’s like doing shit that we all have done as kids in the mirror but would never do in public except he’s doing it in front of everyone lmao
I've definitely found myself doing some if these things in the mirror when I was a kid.
🤣😂🤣😂😂😂 Your comment got me 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂 it really was like that, when Flintstones where on TV 😂🤣
Imagine showing past Jim Carry present day Jim Carry…. “That’s my future, famous but a political Cry Baby?”
in the film 'Liar Liar', he tells his son he cant tell a lie for 24 hours, and the kid, innocently spits out a bunch of questions he wants real answers, and his son goes, is it true that of Iake a funny face it might stay that way?' and he goes, no, son, it's not true, and some people make a really good living that way.' I got it, did you?
😂😂😂🙌🏾
If only those people knew they were witnessing a legend in the making. One of the most wildly talented comedians/actors to ever walk this earth.
His parents must've been AWESOME.
Well played heated debate in the comment section. 👏 (proceeds to 5 minute extension of standing ovation)
I think they did realise that’s why they gave a 5 minute standing ovation
He literally is a man who left all his "fuxx" at home and went all out. This is actually a motivational tape for any of us who know what we are capable of but scared of doing it in fear of being judged/backlash. This guy is a blessing
Damn that is a GREAT perspective!
Love your take on this.
100% right here. He looked in that mirror and said fuck em'.
I'm gonna do me or not do it at all.
Thankfully he chose this.
"So you're telling me there's a chance"
Yes Jim. Yes.
im not scared, im doing this from time to time and i dont give a F
"Drugs can't do this, only reality can.." -Jim Carrey
My favorite line frome this entire stand up.
I don’t think we’ll ever have a person like Jim, he’s so...unique and very special to us all
Maybe Roberto Benigni...
The Bruce Lee of comedy!
its sad cuz after him our kids wont be able to enjoy his art
if we're lucky, there won't be another
yeah, he is. but also ishowspeed is a VERY unique person.
That's prolly from 25 years ago and I would still pay the ticket to see him perform today. A formidable performance!
@Kurt DeWitt Photography STOP MAKING ME FEEL OLD! 😂
@Julie C equally bad things were happening globally back then, maybe you just weren't aware of it. the beauty of this should be independent
At the end of the video it was literally mentioned the year 1992
1991 = 31 years ago.
I saw the special when it first aired. What was on tv wasn't like today. I remember the shirt he's wearing and that I fell of the couch crying from laughter. But listening in Sept 2022 ah the oh..nuclear holocaust...yeah
Crazy too see how much of Ace Ventura was actually just Jim Carrey
This is a character too though.
@insidiousmaximus Aww did someone hurt you? Why so mad cupcake?
I knew it all along lol
@Emil Westgaard Henriksen yeah sorry.
And i got it even more mix up, because i was thinking about two-face and wrote joker. XD
Watching this in 2021 for the first time. Jim Carrey is a freaking Creative Genius, and a Hero while at it!
Same here, and found it by luck, that's a gem !
Idk about hero but otherwise agree
@CPCH that’s me but two days later
That's me but in 2022
you are the g bro urself
One of Jim's best unrated movie's performance was in "cable guy" a film we need to watch again and again to see all the dark and funny details put on his character. Jim is unique!
Yes! A very interesting character. But somehow I feel Jim was relating to that character on a deep level. There is something behind Jim’s eyes that says lonely & pain.😢
Couldn't agree more! Just you mentioning such reminded me of how his character actually gave me the creeps one minute, funny the next, then annoyed and that ending was the icing on the cake. Very underrated movie and performance!
I'm struggling with depression and this made me laugh and smile and just briefly escape the negative in the world. God bless this man
If You are depressed it is OK for now - but always remember that - even if You can not figure it out right now - you can be happy again - even happier than You ever were! Trust me because I made that same experience!
There's something incredibly cryptic and emotional about his physical comedy.
Lol it just goes to show he's the GOAT for method acting and improv acting.
@JACK Interesting angle.
@Michel Lamberg So is cocaine. Robert Munch and Robin Williams were the only two I know who did cocaine before their storytelling- it was wild!
Pure talent
@Cody Richey xdxxxd
I never ever laughed out loud in my life :D I know him for so many years but this is genius. He’s so smart and everything have something different from others
I’m glad he helped you laugh
you've never laughed?
He's just an incredible artist... I have been in some shows and no other was better than this one and watching him on KZclip. So funny and very touching. Thanks for making me laugh, I needed it
I love being able to see his standup acts. In Living Color was one of the first comedy sketch shows I watched growing up and it holds the most special place in my heart, seeing him bring out two of his most iconic characters from the show made my night. 😊❤️✨
SAME!!!!
Honestly incredibly depressing humor; very childish, blunt, and overly honest. Very much what makes it so beautiful.
@Knight X well, it's only weird until you get used to it!
so... get used to it!
@meabob FR 🥴very weird though
The beginning was lit but later weird as hell
so many layers. true comic genius
@meabob boring? That’s pretty bold.
@meabob Life in comedy is not as boring as life itself.
Mr. Carrey has always been an influence in my life. Watching this made me realize that he was way ahead of his time. He also had some influences that I can not name now. From every thing this person has been through. I just want to say. He is one of my favorite human beings.

To this day this is one of the most impressive solo comedic acts I’ve ever seen, all while remaining totally clean. This show will always be timeless, and a true testament to how much raw talent was inside of him already.
And The Cable Guy!
Not totally clean but almost.
You wouldn't want a kid listening to a lot of this in my opinion
Well written
@Shmoopya No.
ngl the nervous breakdown section had my anxiety flaring up, I had to pause to relax a couple times. if shock was what he was going for, he succeeded 😅 tho im not sure of your definition of "clean," he certainly didn't swear but he *did* talk a lot about sex and drugs (and a sprinkling of mental health) XD so *maybe* not entirely family-friendly lol
I do agree though, I can come back to this year after year and enjoy it just as much as the first time I watched it. A comedy classic.

its amazing how 90% of these bits went into his movies.
Watching it for the first time and it’s mental seeing it. Most of his jokes or bits made it into ace Ventura. He straight up does the grinch, Bruce almighty, the mask all within the first 30 mins. Love the bloke.
The most wonderful thing about Jim Carrey is not how extremely fun and funny he is... it´s the insane amount of work, creativity, dedication, perfectionism, frustration, training, knowledge, preparation, need, vision, determination, conscience, self awareness, obsession, enlightment... etc etc etc etc etc etc he needs to have to deliver such successful performances! 🙌 Just my kind of being!... Hope his mind gets digitalized before he goes so the world can have him foreva!!!! 🌏
He's out of his gourd. But honestly, he made his own brand of comedy. Impossible to replicate without just seeming derivative.
@Dawn Johnson he could have been a contortionist!
Also he's incredibly flexible.. can anyone else do a back bend without putting their hands on the ground?
@Tree Beard This is what adhd and creative genius combined looks like
@Deadpool The Psycho______________________________ L
Oh
I have loved Jim since I first saw him on In Living Color. Ace Ventura was my favorite movie for years, still is. I practiced in the mirror for years and was able to do a lot of his faces.😜 I still love him.
That said, watching this makes me incredibly sad now. I never saw his stand up. Knowing now that this comedy most often comes from a place of despair, loneliness, wanting to be accepted,etc. I wish I could give him a hug. I know how he feels. I'm so glad he's living a life he wants to and is able to now. He is so artistic and talented in so many ways. His paintings are gorgeous. Love you James!!! 💘💖 You were and always will be someone I look up to.
I grew up watching all of his stuff and I even snuck into the movies that weren't for my age AT ALL. he was my favourite and still is. this man is somebody I will forever look up to. I dream of one day seeing him in person. what a guy
He is a one of a kind, absolute gem of a unique human being who mastered more than one craft with an inimitable style, energy and creativity. I hope he can find as much happiness and fulfillment as we get watching his art
His act is like a grown up version of a toddler with all that free association. He jumps all over the place. Kind of like Robin Williams.
@meabob facts
Robin Williams is light years ahead of Jim Carrey
Jim and Robin were always my two favorite actors growing up because of their high energy and hilarity. Genuinely cried when Robin died😭
@Nunya Nunya no u
He delivers reality of self recognizing in a genuinely funny cartoonish way... A true legend
"Drugs can't do this.... Only reality can" Jim Carrey
@Alla LMAO
@Sibiria88 What are you talking about?
@Title Wave where did you get this info, I would like to know more.
@Title WaveI really don't think that LSD is a drug actually lol
bro i literally just commented the same thing and then saw your comment.. I'm glad you can see what I see.
It's actually scary to watch this. The pain behind the "mental breakdown" part, as well as other skits in his performance were just too realistic...things people wouldn't normally pay attention to unless they were of the same mind-frame as himself. These things became built up with time, and eventually, he became what he is today.
People were laughing during the skits. But personally, I was terrified, knowing how much of a reality that stuff was for his mind.
That’s what i was thinking 😕
Jim really gave everything at every moment. You can’t put that up your whole life. I think he’s an exceptional person and never stopped being that way
Same.
There are people in the audience literally dying of laughter and not realizing a star is being born. This is how it starts.
This man has unique personality combined with incredible facial expressions and voice
This guy both makes me want to laugh and makes me want to cry, his actions are hilarious but his words are heartbreaking.
This man is able to seriously morph his face into another person without facial reconstructive surgery. . . My god
@Natron FatuMallafallaI know these comments old but this video and yalls comments are tripping me out bro wtf lmao
@Perspective yes! Finally someone that knows what's really going on in the world #truth
@LASER PRODUCTiONS i don’t have family or friends though. Wanna be my bestie ?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 That video is a historical relic of comedy gold and a pure piece of artwork. All the while displaying some of the best physical theatrics I've ever seen personally
Talented and hilarious, Jim's early stuff is classically fun and irreverent.
Increadable. 37 minutes in and he has more energy than when he first started.
He's definatly worked hard to get where he is at.
This is one of the funniest stand up acts. The man knows no fear, audience goes from laughter to bewilderment and back again.
Unbelievably funny and authentic. People don’t give Jim enough credit for his timing, authenticity and cleverness of his material.
He really morphs into his characters. Always impressive.
That Clint Eastwood transformation is incredible, I'm scouring the comments looking for anyone commenting on it.
@Raspberry 94 Have you thought of it as a coping mechanism against creepiness of reality?
@Raspberry 94 convince me that he is not made of play-doh or some kind of malleable rubber
Characters? I think Jim is literally (🤪) all the time
I haven’t been laughed to tears in a while. This was so funny. What a legend. The cigarette bit was hilarious 8:26
35:50 is one of many times where you can see the real Jim Carey trying to get out and he pretended it was a joke.
Severely underrated comment
The paradox is that jim displayed the actual natural state of human minds, which is like this so restless and unpredictable. So he actually did this extremely natural act, while people do it unnaturally !!!
Master fuckin piece, jim carry is.
And there are layers to what can be learnt from this man just by observing him doing things and talking, closely.
❤
It's incredible how comedians still manage to make people laugh even when they facing tragic personal problems ❤
I wish to meet Jim one-day cause somewhere somehow his character is the reflection of my own but only when I'm alone and that's the power tool to keep me happy and positive all the time but when I step outside everything changes and that's actually sad
I feel bad for you
Took me years to truly become myself around anyone in any situation. Eventually you'll no longer have that disconnect. It will take time though.
I was fortunate to grow up, watching him from his start on "In Living Color" and his meteoric skyrocket to unbelievable success. What a talented guy! It was a fun ride.
There were like only two parts where I wasn't laughing through this whole thing. You know you're a true comedian when you can still make someone laugh today with something that was filmed for a generation long before yours. No one is like him, not at that level.

The 30's and 40's gave us Charlie Chaplin; the 90's into the 2000's gave us Jim Carry.
Literally laughed only once and it was like a brief chuckle
@EpicSC Do I? Should I put a disclaimer first in order to please you?
It’s really funny to me how people take their own individual experience and apply it to an entire area.
Forgive me, but I fail to see Robin Williams being that funny. I know he came ealier than Jim, yet I find lots of his jokes to be a bit rude and corny. Jim is definitely the better one here.
yeaaaa dude. but also i love ROBIN WILLIAMS !!!🙏🙏 🤩😍 He was also a GREAT IMPROVISATION !! i like love them both same !!! .. Just Robin more laidback ....
This man is so inspirational, in the past and present.
I watched all his movies & shows, definately Jim Carey is not for everybody (you love it or you hate it), his unique humor style, passion, spontaneity & his hard work face expressions (btw poor face afterwards) makes him one of the most outstanding comedy actors of the world!✌
I think Jim has always been existentially minded. It's neat to see it come out in his comedy.
finally...the full version of this...back in the 90s when I first saw this, it was by far the best comedy out there...hes one of a kind for sure
I love it that in every begining to a show the person on stage just has to stand there awkwardly and wait for the crowd to stop cheering. 😂
From the bottom of my heart, i would say, this guy is LEGENDARY. No one ever has to get even close to this, quality of art.
A performance that has everything.A joy to watch...again
His facial expressions are just the best. The "reminiscing guy" just kills me, with the chewing tongue gag. Oh my god every time I see it, it just tears me apart.
This man does not need a gym...his whole 45 min. performance equals one week of hard fitness workouts...great!
It's bad ass Jim really pushed to get cannibal corpse in ace Ventura. In their dvd there's a cool interview about it. Jim is a huge metal fan.
what kinda metal you talkin about ?
@G L you're* now go read.
@Jamaican Juice 😂 your so cute x
@Mustang 915 at work?? i assume you work in recording stuff
I talk to George Fisher and his wife at work all the time really cool dude.
Movement, face reactions, timing, skits is really remarkable..
Jim really becomes the character he is portraying.It’s like he leaves his body & the character enters & takes over,sort of like possessed if you like.He is the best at what he does & not just another stand up comedian but a genius in his art.
I don't even think of Jim Carrey's Unnatural Act as standup comedy.
It's like performance art of some kind.
He's like a one-man circus act.
That's because he is possessed.
I watched some documentary a while ago called Jim and Andy where they follow Carrey getting into character for a role as Andy Kaufman. He was always in character. He became so good at it that when he would be around family members of Andy, they'd really feel like they were talking to Andy, not Carrey. I can only imagine what kind of toll that can take on one's mental health, changing personas throughout life, but I admire how dedicated he was to his career, truly one of the greatest
You don't know Michel Courtemanche, right? XDXDXD
He IS possessed...
This still slays after years later
I watched this and committed several war crimes.
favorite comedian of all time. no one has made me laugh and smile more. i know this man has so much more going on behind the scenes thats been dealt with. i only hope he is happy in this day.
What an amazing performer/comedian/actor. His impressions crack me up!
My parents were lucky enough to see him perform on the street in Dundas, Ontario decades ago before he was even on TV (I think he had some small news segments on him by then, but that's it).
I can't imagine what young Jim Carrey was like. I read his autobiography when I was in high school, and he was kinda odd to say the least lol. One part that sticks out is him f___king the shag carpet... When I did my presentation on the book, my teachers were appalled and when I told them I got the book from the school library, they went and got it and threw it in the trash hahaha
@Andrew Komaniecki I think it was 1987-88. Something like that. I used to live in Dundas, right beside the McDonalds.
What year did you see him in Dunas Ontario? I live there too
It’s like watching an audition for all his movies ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a visual demonstration of the point where Genius, Talent, and Insanity intersect.
@Jo this is much true ❤ let’s quit worries and stay connected to our selves. Insane to work 40h a week and wearing jeans and stuff like that
@Jo SOOOOOOOOOO TRUE!! IT HURTS!
@Skyren :You just went off the deep end there buddy!
You can't have one without the other. Nothing intersects, and your statement is most likely based on what people revealed to you.
Why is having fun and being imaginative deemed as insanity? I think it`s the total opposite and a sign of sanity. To me the insane people are the ones who are too serious and don`t know how to have fun, without worrying about what other people think of them. We can all relate to Jim Carrey in one way or another, that`s why he made a living doing what he does. He chose not to shy away from his own authenticity and people admire him for that. It takes courage to be that way in this world. Children know how to experience unfiltered joy in the moment. When adults can still connect with their inner child, then that is a magical moment. :) Life is for living, then why not live it joyfully! :)
There's not another brilliantly insane person on Earth who can stand for 42 minutes and dare anyone to *not* absolutely love him ... and win. God bless you Jim. 👍😎
we will never have a comedian like jim ever this guy is still here 😇❤️
Attention to detail is on another level, Incredible!!! there’s only one Jim Carey, absolute comical genius 🙏🏼
the impressions were awesome, the faces and body movements are insane lol he has you coming and going , taking you through all emotions in one setting, so freaky but so caturing
He was all I cared about as a kid. I idolized him as ace Ventura. My cousins and I would compete who could do the best jim impressions. And Dumb and Dumber I quote on a daily basis!!🎉
I can’t describe how brilliant he is.
I remember seeing this several years ago. I've never laughed to the point where I was in pain, but Jim Carey did that to me. My stomach still hurt the next day.
The most beautiful thing about Jim Carrey's act is that he made a Hollywood career by putting every face, physical comedy and impersonation in his movies and you can say "oh! this is fromThe Mask" or "He talked like that in Liar Liar". A freaking genius ,:^)#
Jim Carrey the funniest comedian to ever live! Seeing how funny he was/is and how many people he was able to make laugh made me want to make people laugh.safe to say I’ve made plenty of people laugh and smile but no where even close to Jim and never will be in a million years lol! GREAT HUMOR WILL ALWAYS BE CONTAGIOUS
Wow, I’m blessed to see this. What a legend man. Nobody does it like Jim!!
Hi... Greetings dear
Glad to hear from you.
I appreciate your love,care and support
Where are you watching from?
One in a billion!! He’s a true pioneer of comedy!! Love his amazing talent 💖🙏🏼
@Geada 7 Music you can be a pioneer so long as you're an innovator there isn't just one pioneer he is the pioneer of a style of comedy
Pionner of comedy was Charlie Chaplin, but yes in his way Jim Carey is unique.. Respect
Funny as Foooook
This is life, but not as we know it, Jim... Let us just breathe for a minute and take it all in... God, this is beautiful... Look at that mushroom cloud...
Jim Carrey is a legend - I need to meet him so bad.Imagine meeting Ryan Reynolds and Jim Carrey and hang out with them.
Norm McDonald is so good. It's a shame that he had to go this year. RIP buddy. You will always make us laugh.
Hes a super talented comedian! 😂😂😂 he can make anything be halarious! Thats a God given gift!! ❤
Not just comedian artist in general but yes
Two master's of facial comedy Jim & George. RIP GC.
He brings all his energy and emotions to his acts. He is a comic legend.
The body language bit was great, I love experimenting with this. My pal and I got a mullet hair cut for a joke and we would walk into work postured smoking a cig and showing off the sick hair cuts walking with unnatural confidence. It’s hard to describe but I laughed so hard I almost lost a lung.
The man's more animated than cartoons, cg, and anime combined.
Godspeed, Jim, you absolute madlad...
He has to be one of the greatest actors/comedians of all time.
Bro that is giving 100%! Dude the body language part had me rolling and so many other parts too especially the Indian music or music from the Middle East. Honestly you couldn't get away with a lot of these jokes even though they were pretty non-racist but people would call them racist nowadays because they are stereotype even though they could be 90% true he'd still get semi canceled or something like that. And I don't even think he would do comedy like this anymore cuz he tries to be so woke but nonetheless that was 100% effort right there and it was pure comedy and it was hilarious
You can see glimpses of every character Jim Carey has created through the years .
Every time I see this performance, I am pretty much in tears both from laughter and from the adrenaline rush of strange emotions. What a legend!!
LMAO 🤣😆
Jim Carrey is and will always be a comedy legend!!!
Never laughed harder than when I was a preteen watching Ace Ventura...Jim was SOOO unique and literally changed the personality of a generation!
if you really listen deep down into pretty much everything he's saying including the video at the end really shows how hurt he was
I can't help but laugh when he eats the fruit from the Supermarket 😂😂
A true artist!! :) Even now, decades later or however long its been :D
The way Jim turns his face into other people is so funny, Clint Eastwood was really great
Legend has it if you stare at his shirt for long enough you'll actually time travel back to 1991
The real standup comedian, the legend, the first, the GOAT ! ❤💯🔥
It never gets old.
Robin Williams and Jim Carrey are by far my funniest comedians. Their presentation, their antics, and their improvisation are so influential.
