Another Top 10 Hilarious Jim Carrey Moments

To say Jim Carrey has a lot of energy in this scene is an understatement. At a party, his character, Chip Douglas, proves to everyone in the room that he knows how to put on a show, entertaining both the partygoers and the audience alike. Performing Jefferson Airplane’s “Somebody to Love” on karaoke, Chip never misses a beat. His electric performance – coupled with the reactions of his audience – is hilarious, and we don’t think anyone else would’ve been able to compete with that amazing throat solo.

This was a role made for Jim Carrey, in which he harnesses the power of the Norse god of darkness and mischief. This moment sees him dance his way through a blockade of police officers trying to arrest him. We all know dancing is contagious, but this scene takes it to a whole new level. The police forget what they’re there for, lowering their weapons and partaking in this ensemble while the Mask sings “Cuban Pete”. Not only that, but some of the officers can’t help but sing along. The absurdity is what makes this scene so hilarious, and it’s hard to picture another actor swaying a police force with their antics so convincingly.

Okay, there’s a reason this moment is only in the bonus material of the film, as there’s no way the cast would get through it without breaking character. Count Olaf demonstrates what it would be like in a time where dinosaurs walked the Earth, and he does so by pretending to be one himself. His noises and movements are genius, and the way he interacts with the other actors is perfect. You can hear laughter from behind the camera, as well as spot Jim losing it a couple of times. Smiles break out across the sleeping cast – and when Olaf decides to lick one of the other cast member’s ears, no one can hold it in.

We’ve all consumed a lot of caffeine at one point, whether to beat that early afternoon fatigue or to pull an all-nighter. Carrey’s character Carl, on the other hand, takes it to the extreme. Having to say ‘Yes’ to everything, he consumes what looks like half a dozen cans of Red Bull – and that’s only what we can see. Needless to say, he’s hyped up, and provides for one hilarious moment in where he cuts off his love interest multiple times with the words “Red Bull”. His overall performance in this movie is rather subdued, which makes this high-energy moment even more hilarious.

Even when he tries to do the right thing, it always backfires for Carrey’s characters, putting him in predicaments we can’t help but laugh at. Charlie finds a seemingly dead cow on the road. But when he tries to move it, he realizes it’s not actually dead, just in a lot of pain. He does the right thing by putting it out of its misery – but in some ridiculous way, the cow lives through that too. Eight more shots to the head, and they engage in a wrestling match. With a gurgling noise, the cow is finally at rest… or is it?

Only Jim Carrey can imitate the dancer from Sia’s Chandelier music video – costume and all – in front of a live audience of millions. There’s just something so hilarious about seeing a grown man, who’s clearly inflexible, trying to pull off professional dance moves. With an exaggerated performance and some added moves here and there, he takes the act off set; interacts with the audience; works with his co-star Kate McKinnon (whom he’s supposed to be competing with); utilizes props; and brings it back to the set – all without messing up even once. A true testament to his comedic abilities.

By now, we can all tell that Jim Carrey is a great character actor, and it’s with these roles he gets to let loose as a standout physical comedian. In this movie, he plays the titular Grinch as he attempts to ruin Christmas. One moment sees him singing to himself as he builds his own sleigh, and well, you can’t make a sleigh without testing it, right? What follows is a laugh-out-loud moment as the Grinch slams into a wall, crumpling the sleigh and turning him limp. Recovering moments later, he notes that the air bags are a little slow. Indeed they are, Mister Grinch.

It’s okay guys – we’re allowed to laugh at someone getting hurt when it’s in a comedy film, and that’s what makes this scene so funny. Full of hilarious moments, Ace finds himself here in the Circle of Death, where he must fight to make it out alive. He severely underestimates his opponent, laughing in a way we can only describe as odd, before getting pummeled and dragged around like a rag doll. The funniest part comes when he gets a spear in the leg and then calls for his own spear, only to have it thrown into his other leg. From there, he proceeds to take turns directing his screams of agony at each spear.

Can you imagine not being able to tell a lie for 24 hours? We’re sure it’s easier for some than others, but for Fletcher, it’s torture. He finds out the hard way when he gets in an elevator with a woman who’s just moved into the building. Carrey’s reactions are priceless every time he blurts out the truth, but he can’t stop, and digs himself further and further into a hole. Watching him struggle internally is hilarious, and it makes us wonder what would happen if we found ourselves in his situation. Best not to think about that.

Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few Honorable Mentions.

I Believe I Can Fly
“Fun with Dick and Jane” (2005)

Cannibal Corpse

Moments of ridiculousness and absurdity are the norm when it comes to a Jim Carrey movie, but this particular moment may just be pushing those boundaries. Hiding in a robotic rhino, it starts to get a little warm for Ace Ventura. With the hatch to get out broken, he only has one exit. Onlookers gather around for what they think is a mother rhino giving birth. How wrong they are. Watching every attempt Carrey makes to break free is hilarious, with his varied expressions and erratic movements. He finally slides out naked, scaring the men, women and children alike.
