How comes you did not mention "Baby snakes" ?
Stop saying "massive" during your ad segments. It's super annoying.
Cheers
It's not cool calling him "disturbed" like he's some unhinged psychopath.
Total respect for Jim. He witnessed how superficial fame is, knows there's more to life and walked away from it at the top of his game. Good lad.
He's an annoying tosser who shouts a lot.
Why doesn't he pick a hobby u know like laying bricks or something. I mean it's easy when u have that much money to get all preachy and phylosophical and shit. Or was it attention seeking bullshit? I don't know
He's still doing movies, publicity tours, interviews, etc. Not sure how that counts as walking away. Love the man but I always discount the words of a Liar, Liar
Why would he want to start laying bricks as a hobby? He does what he feels like and that's good. He has earned every cent he has, just for the laughs he gave me growing up. Maybe you should try acting as a hobby see if you get as far as him
@@sultanaljuhani1571how do you know he hasn't picked 10 of those?
To be honest I was never that big a fan of Jim Carrey's movies I like some of them but others I really don't. Who he is as a person I think is amazing. To turn away from a career that he knew wasn't validating him and to try and be himself in Hollywood, a world that is as artificial as blue food, is one of the bravest things I've watched a human do. He's awesome.
He could no longer get work after the scandal surrounding the death of his much younger ex girlfriend.
@@MsProdworthy he'd had three bombs before she died which I imagine didn't help his career either. I think given the caché of his name he still could have got work but I think her overdose and the lawsuits might have been the final nails in the coffin of his desire to act for a bit.
Blueberries
@@simonmarks1545wise words
Frankly, there *are* a few natural examples of blue food. Blueberries were already mentioned, but there's also the Indigo Milk Cap Mushroom, and Blue Cheese. But don't worry, I hear you; things like "Blue Raspberry" or "Blue Moon Ice Cream" are just artificial.
Doing psychedelics with Jim Carrey sounds like one of those luxuries reserved for high-level royalty.
Sounds terrifying tbh
@@Zeta9966why? Guy don't seam to have a mean bone in him.
@@up2me967 didn’t say he’d be mean. I’m saying he’s EXTREMELY heady and if he started acting like Jim Carrey, it would be insane to handle lol
It sounds like hell. I like calm people when on psychedelics lol.
@@Zeta9966 kinda but I'd enjoy it. Can't take life so seriously imo. Maybe I'm twisted but if I meet him carry and he was like let's do shrooms I'd be so down.
We literally watched him go through an existential identity crisis. I always thought during that period that he was so disturbed he almost became obnoxiously aggressive with his spirituality much like someone when they first begin to read self help books. You could see him struggling and now it seems like he has come to terms with whatever he has discovered. Must admit though there was a period where I thought he lost it. It’s funny my whole life I’ve heard people talk smack about depressed celebrities, telling them to shut up cause they are rich and have great lives. The idea that money and attention will make us whole continues to be a sickness we all suffer from until we face some version of it ourselves. Thanks for the great video 😊
Your a sheep its sounds cliche but your are not aware of shi lol your mind frame is sad
the idea money and attention will fulfil people is a delusion that is actively encouraged sadly.
I don't think it's about believing money will make you whole. It's about acknowledging and being grateful for what he has. When you're struggling to pay the rent, nobody wants to hear a rich man complaining.
Yeah, to say he was obnoxious about it is an understatement. I haven't heard him talk about anything else for years.
In 2018, Jim Carrey received a text message while he was in Hawaii that a missile will hit in a matter of minutes. He frantically tried to call his daughter but his daughter wasn't picking up and time was running out. So he walked out into the beach and take "everything" in and told himself exactly that line in the end of this video "I had a wonderful and lucky ride in this life. And yes I had enough" and thanked Life.
Clearly the missile alert was false, when it didn't happen. But that one moment changed him a whole lot he said recently, and he looks a lot more happier.
I remember that day so clearly. My brother was living on the big island at that time, and all I could do was pray it was a hoax or a mistake while talking on the phone with him. In those few moments, I said everything I needed to say, and when he passed away years later, I reflected on that phone call and felt gratitude for the conversation we had, even though the situation that prompted it was so terrifying. Totally unrelated to anything Jim Carrey related, but despite never having heard this quote before reading your comment, it's a poignant message that many people could benefit from taking to heart.
Jim is unquestionably an all time talent. People with that level of ability usually have some kinda weirdness.
Jim Carrey a legend in comedy. No one is like him. The mask , Liar liar, ace ventura. Me myself and irene, the truman show, dumb and dumber, spotless mind, fun with dick and jane and yes man. All amazing, all 8/10+ movies in my opinion.
The cable guy bruv! Do yourself a favour and give that a watch/rewatch. Great dark comedy
Bruce almighty and The Grinch too
@@Mr.PDF_File I personally hated both of those ones. Those were pretty much the first instances of his 'shark jumping moments', combined with 'Yes Man', for example.
I can't believe how little I'm seeing the number 23 in these comments
As much as I loved all of the Great Movies and Laughter over the years, I must admit I really enjoy just seeing the space he's in now Spiritually - He has a certain glare in his eyes that confirms he has see many things beyond the Physical that are bringing him peace and connecting him more to the source.
Thanks for everything you continue to do, Jim!
same
1000%
Where do you get your weed bro
@@killerflamingo9566 Thailand g, the standards here are high now a days 🤣👌🏽
@@DudeNamedDuncan Being involved in spirituality can actually make life a lot tougher to deal with/accept a lot of the time actually, so I would have to disagree with you bro. Spirituality is the reason there are so many religions all over the globe for thousands of years - there is something beyond this illusion we call life & people have tried to connect with it for a very long time 😀
Love Jim. The most off-the-wall comedians often have the most complicated inner thoughts. He'd be a fascinating man to have a heart-to-heart philosophical discussion with.
I had a chance to run into him in California. One of the sweetest guys I've ever met. Rapping with that gent is a highlight of my life.
How many videos do you normally upload? Sometimes I swear I finish one and another one pop up and I be like " wait didn't I just finish the recent upload?"
Was thinking the same 😅
he uploads videos in batches every 2 months or so, I don't think I've seen another youtuber upload like this tbh
@@theopinionatedcharles2795yeah it’s weird but I kind of like it
He uploads and then doesn’t and then we get three videos in two days, then nothing for days
He uploads jn seasons so we can binge, I'm surprised no one else does this yet!
Him acting as Robotnik in Sonic touched my soul. I questioned the casting choice because he looks nothing like Robotnik, and then he nailed the character anyway 😂 total respect for the man
He's outstanding. Nothing but respect for this legend.
His mom had BPD. that's brutal. Him wanting to cheer her up is a form of parentification.
I have BPD. Its a nightmare. feel bad for Jim and his mother.
I feel badly for anyone who suffers from the Baltimore Police Dept. Badoom!
your videos are absolutely incredible mate. honestly can't get enough
Glad you like them!
Absolutely one of the most unique, special and most talented actors ever born, and for sure, one of my favorite ones ever. He has absolutely done enough and I hope he finds peace and happiness for the rest of his life. He has done so much and put smiles on countless faces for decades now, he deserves a piece of mind! I know people who never liked him but I just think they never understood his type of comedy and genius, which is a shame for them, imo.
In any case, Jim is a freaking genius in many ways in my mind and I don't think we will see another one like him any time soon, if ever. I grew up on his movies and they will never stop being funny and exciting to me, no matter how many times I watched them.
One of the wisest people out there. His talent is utterly undeniable (Liar Liar court and the Bruce Almighty Evan live scenes being my favourites) but his experience of pain, mental health and alternative ways of thinking comes out occasionally, producing incredible moments of clarity as he speaks. Many of the most successful comedians have this bifurcation of happiness and sadness, many of them suffering from depression and other issues that seemingly balances out the humour and effervescence (Robin Williams, Tony Hancock, Peter Cook, Peter Sellers etc). These treasures need to be told how much we love and appreciate them... the rest however can fuck right off ;P
I've always loved his movies. I absolutely love how he BECOMES the character he's playing. Now, looking back, it feels like he could have used a good therapist to help him answer the questions he was asking himself. That said, he seems to be in a good place these days. I love that for him.
Love your voice, love your coverage, you are killing this CZcams game my dude and I couldn't be more proud. Long-time subscriber and huge fan. Keep it up guy, you are so so so good and the content you produce shows and attention to detail and an emotional presonance that most cannot ever achieve. ❤
We’ll done Jimmy. You truly are a giant. Discovered you a year ago and have not missed an episode. We’ll researched and most likeable presentation. Stay true to you and good luck with your new podcast. Lots of love and admiration 👍
Thank you bro, appreciate the support
He’s a part of my childhood and someone I’ve always looked up to. He seems to have a great deal of sympathy which matters to me a lot, even with his fuck ups, and bouts of what may seem like “craziness”, I don’t see him as bad at all, who isn’t slightly “crazy” sometimes and or fucks up here and there. If anyone feels he needs forgiveness, I think he’s shown more than enough remorse for what ever “mistakes” or fuck ups that happen along the ride. He still has my respect and admiration.
Another classic! It was great to meet you at the service station the other day btw. Thanks for giving me the time of day 👌
You too! Keep up the graffiti 💪
Yeah, I guess when you get to the top you can really see it for what it is. He deserved all the success he had and still has, but I'm glad he's at a stage in his life now where he doesn't feel pressured to keep doing films for the sake of doing them, or because he's being told he has to.
I love that dude. His movies were always there for me when i needed cheering up. He helped me through a lot. ❤
You are more than enough to me Jim, thanks for the inspiration! You make life fun.
Jim has been a huge part of my life, even the sad parts. If I could pick one person to meet, it would undoubtedly be Mr. Jim Carrey.
Yes he'd be great to talk to
I've got to put him up there with some of the most unforgettable unique and original comedians of our lifetime ... Thank you for giving us a look into the man! Brilliantly done!
Enjoyed this insight to his past. One of my fav & the best of actors to ever be on screens.
Yeah keep popping up on projects and please live forever. Much love and respect. Salute.
Before I commented I browsed through the comments section... it's so amazing and touching that someone so crazy, whacky, weird and above all probably the most funniest person in the world, that can take comedy to the absolute limit of what is possible just before it breaks, has so any fans and im definitely one of them, Jim we love you dearly and we hope that your doing well. Thank you so much for the many movies and laughs that you have given us over the years and we hope it's not the last.
You kept this about Jim and ONLY Jim. That's mad respect. Subbed.
I like how he answers all of the questions with absolute sincerity
He's one of my favorite people ever. Just an absolute goldmine of wisdom and ability to make others smile. Its so sad how exploitative hollywood is.
It's hard for me to imagine how I would've reacted to Jim's words before my NDE. The things that make the most sense to me now sound like meaningless clichés, or far fetched mysticism, to others. But, in my eyes, Jim has awakened to a beautiful truth, and I'm so grateful I'm alive to witness it.
Very cool video! I grew up loving everything Jim Carrey and I'm happy he's happier now than he was fr
He's awake and helping people awaken just by being himself. His speak where he mentioned love & fear was very influential to me and my life. It's planted the seed of thought which has helped me get closer to myself and homeostasis.
I’m digging these videos you’re putting out. I mean, I’ve always liked your obscure old stuff that would be like “How did grime and UK DNB influence parkour?” But these new one have a different vibe. Nice work.
Thanks for following for so long dude ❤️
A comic genius and a good, honest man. What's not to love?
I feel like me and him would connect so well. I would love to meet him someday. His modern view on hollywood is spot on. I'd gladly listen to him all day.
@jimmythegiant I am really impressed with the consistency and improvement of you videos. the original series with action sports was a organic topic for you. I like to see all the journalism and writing skill you have acquired being used for in-depth stories like these. maybe a full documentary with a team of filmmakers like "yes theory" or like "knowing better". currently i think your work is the bright side to sunnyV2's Darkness and horror stories. yin and yang.
Thank you bro thats some real nice feedback - I certainly want to get out and do some IRL docs one day
I admire Jim Carrey for many reasons . He has , And will always put a smile on my face . I enjoy his talents , And his kindness.
Jim Carrey seriously is probably the most underrated actor of all time his comedic movies from the 90's such as both Ace Ventura Cable Guy, dumb and dumber ,Truman show ,liar liar... some of these movies are my favorites still to this day many quotable lines from his movies... his versatility as an actor never ceases to amaze me he left an indelible mark on Hollywood the likes of which will never be seen again
underrated? fking zoomers
I don't think you can call Jim Carrey underrated. Ask anyone and they will speak highly of him. He's never won an Oscar, but we all know how that really works $$$
@@sadfaceAbyss do not know what he is talking about
Wouldn't say underrated at all
What a beautiful video, Thank you sir.
I'm 33 and have been following Jim Carrey's work ever since Ace Ventura. It's been interesting looking at his journey, and he's made me, my friends and so many people around the world laugh, cry, happy, angry, emotional. Only one person I know seemed to think he was an overactor, and he was a fan of Tommy Lee Jones coincidentally 😂
I wonder what's next for him. He's been so present in a lot of people's life through his movies, it almost feels like you know the guy. If he ever made a comeback, I would love to see him in that one career-defining role, an access to unanimity.
Good the see someone took the time here to point out Jim Carrey. Yes he put I smile on my face as well when I was younger. He is one of a kind that child loving hollywood will never ever deserve no more if it ever had. He is a legend beyond that evil wich is hollywood.
Man, Johnny Carson introduced so many great comedians to the world it is insane. It was like an appearance on Carson could make you a made man in comedy. I don't think there will ever be a person with that ability in entertainment again.
Generally I start to cringe when people with options most people will never see start getting off into "spirituality", heck it's often cringy when people with no options start getting into spirituality, but a few of the things Carey said actually made some sense. The guy has brought happiness to so many people, I just hope he finds some for himself.
Much Love To Jimmy The Giant!!
15:16 On point, you hit the spot sir! Just compare the 90s Movies vs Movies of 2010s - Present! 90s has a LOT of varieties! Well done sir!
love your content btw!
I remember it was August 1994 and I was on an international flight to Europe from Australia and the in-flight movie was The Mask. I was 20 years old and I fell in love with Jim Carrey.
Such a good video. Jim Carrey is a genius.
Great docuseries your making
I was really worried there for a second but im happy for him finding this new sense of peace
Jim Carrey gets the cosmic joke, he's the man
Years ago when people were saying “Jim carry’s going crazy” and I watched videos of him saying the awards show was meaningless. My first thought was that he was being more genuine and truthful than anyone in entertainment.
Huge part of my childhood , hope he finds his peace ❤
I remember In Living Colour in the early 90s, when it was on Sky One. I loved it, and his mid90s movies are a staple for anyone growing up in that wonderful timeline. I actually think his best work was The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine.... The latter being something you can take more from with each watch, especially if youve been going through a break up yerself. And being an early 90s teen, Sonic was a huge deal. So its great to see him look like he's havin a Ball as Robitnik there. Great video. Love these insightful essays on pop culture characters.
Nice you started a podcast too. Im actually flabbergasted you dont have a bunch of music videos or started your own rap career. Which seems like LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE WORLD does ESPECIALLY CZcamsrs. Naw but for real congratulations on your success, I love your videos and all the topics you cover. Its fairly unique to most youtubers and you dont do the same story/video you see from 100 different channels all covering the same exact story/video/topic. Even if you end up covering a topic a bunch of people talk about, you put a lot of work into it, cover it very entertainingly. Cheers Mate
The truman show was just literally gold. His quality of movies feel like they really went downhill after that.
Truman Show is an actual masterpiece and way ahead of it's time as it feels more relevant to today than the 90s
I’d say the same thing about The Cable Guy too, a film warning us about the effects of media saturation.
@@paulorockybut not only that.. social isolation can lead to mental illness.
_Thank you, I adored him and still have my great respect. Oh, great nineties!_ Ace Ventura: Pet Detective / Zvířecí detektiv. My brother and I loved him.
nice video bro, you been working out a bit hey looking jacked!
So good at what he does
I remember going to the cinema to watch Ace Ventura Pet Detective and the trailer they played before the movie was The Mask. It was only until later that I learned Carrey had actually signed on for The Mask before AVPD.
I love Jim Carrey. He was a huge inspiration for me in life.
growing up, my family would go on roadtrips frequently. My siblings and I would choose, above all else, two movies to bring. They were absolute musts: The Mask and Dumb & Dumber. To this day, we all quote lines from these comedies and we never get tired of it. They just bring infinite joy. And for that I'll always be greatful to Jim and consider him a legend.
Your videos are really good 🫡
❤ I am more of a fan now than ever...
Jim will always have a piece my heart and respect...
Nice video, subbed.
he's a pretty good serious actor too, such as in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
love him just watched THE MAJESTIC on here for free. He is awesome love his art he is doing.
Wish him all the best x
HILARIOUS INSIGHTFUL GENIUS!
another banger 🔥
Gotta respect the research 🙏🏽
I love the retro Ontario channel so much
Inter video universe segways man i love it 👌🔥
When he showed up to that E! event and said he was just looking for the most meaningless place to be.. .It makes so much sense, I dont even remember that event, and everything involved with it truly was meaningless compared to so many things that actually matter more. Obviously some kind of experimental bit that he wanted to do. Show up knowing how famous he is, and not really giving a sht about whats even going on there. Also his speech at MIU was the best speech iv ever heard. Plus his art is likely going to be worth so much in 100 years from now, his art is beautiful
great when silly, great when serious. I always loved Jim from my teens to adulthood, I have a feeling like we grew together.
One of the kings of comedy for sure.
6:05 "A bad Little Richard" Rich Little's a Canadian famous for his impressions. Well played
To this day liar liar is one of my top 10 favorite films. Jim is a totally weird dude, but I dig it went always vibe with his weirdness!
For anyone wanting a good film to watch: Jim and Andy. Without a doubt one of the best documentaries ever made and its about this genius while trying to reconsile with parts of himself and also not himself.
Him and Robin Williams were my childhood. God bless Jim Carrey
How many different thumbnails and titles does shanty wanna try out. Brilliant video btw
I'll always love Jim.
SUPER GENIUS...NAA PAST MEIN HUA NAA FUTURE MEIN KOI HOGAA
I was born 1994, parents introduced me to Jim Carey in 1998 and I have loved everything, I used to want to be a comedian because of him, but it's very hard to be a professional laugh taker
Textbook definition of bipolar! When he's great, he's very, very great. When he's depressed, he's at death's door! Another one that fit this was Robin Williams. They are amazing when they're up, but in a bad way when down. Thank God Jim Carrey has managed the lows. He's amazing!
he's a legend. I just hope I can meet him someday
Love love love him ❤.
One of his greatest movies that is rarely mentioned is The Majestic
Jim like Robin Williams, isn't only able to make you laugh, he's also able to make you cry through dramatic roles, I remember crying a lot when I saw him in The Majestic, which is one of those movies make you cry when you see them for first time. Furthermore, I have a feeling that the entire world will not be prepared when Jim doesn't exist on this Earth anymore😪
Even if he thinks he felt empty at that time, he is always my childhood star icon.
Somebody make a compilation of all the squarespace ad reads by Jimmy
Absolute legend of a man. If only more people in the spotlight were like him instead of the corporate shills that we have now
Legend ❤
This is great dude, you should do one of these on Patrice O'Neal. Or Matt Maiellaro (Co Creator of Aqua Teen, Squidbillies, Brak Show, etc etc)
man, after this video I have to go a binge a lil on "In Living Color". Childhood memories.
I've never been able to even tolerate Jim's brand of comedy and acting, but he seems like a very genuine dude to be honest. Outside of the wacky, neurotic characters he frequently plays, he seems very grounded as a person.
