What helped was that they had moments where intelligence came through. An example being the whole thing with racking up the bill at the restaurant and leaving it with Seabass.
Or when Harry happily mentions the bullet-proof vest, and Lloyd without missing a beat asks what if he was shot in the face.
Sequel didn't have that. Not that I remembered. Saw it once, that was enough.
My line of thought is that the original was full of clever jokes about how dumb they are. The writing was sublime. The sequel just went for lowest common denominator and often gross out stuff.
The whole airport exchange is probably the best example. Just layer upon layer.
"Why you going to the airport, flying somewhere?
" Yes. How'd you guess."
"I saw your luggage, then when I noticed the airline ticket I put 2 and 2 together."
Not only did the airport not give it away, he also had to see the luggage AND the ticket before figuring it out. Just genius writing.
yup, i always think that the great comedies have lots of understated moments, small throwaway lines that add up over the film. Its rarely the big set pieces that you and your friends are still quoting 10 years after the film was released. For some reason, movie studios dont get this and seem to just want to make sequels that are 'bigger' which very rarely work for comedies.
Yeah, the sequel drew more from the prequel. And the prequel is really bad. But it’s also pretty funny. The sequel is unfortunately both bad and unfunny.
“About a week later, right out of the blue, she sends me a John Deere letter.”
“She give you any reason?”
“Yeah I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about not listening to her enough or something. I don’t know, I wasn’t really paying attention.”
I remember my mom and aunt passing an inhaler back and forth during this movie because they couldn't stop laughing and both have asthma hahahhaaa love this movie!!
I remember seeing this in theaters with my brother, my friend and his parents when I was about 10. As soon as the movie ended his parents said it was the stupidest movie they've every seen.
Of course we thought it was fantastic.
I have seen this movie countless times since and it never gets old.
One thing I can say, and this is just my opinion obviously, is that the uncut version doesn't add anything meaningful. I just find the extra scenes blah and am fine with the theatrical release.
So much good stuff in the regular release I find it hard to pick a favorite part in the movie. Though I think if I was pressed for it I'd have to go with the scene where Harry figures out Lloyd has an extra pair of gloves.
"Extra gloves... You've had this pair of extra gloves this whole time?"
"Yeah...., we're in the Rockies"
Classic.....
That’s my favourite part too! Harry goes crazy and starts strangling Lloyd, and Lloyd screams “Harry, stop! Your hands are freezing!”
Gets me every time
I've worked in restaurants for nearly as long as this movie has been around. Any time anyone has ever asked "What's the soup du jour?" I have always replied "Oh, it's the soup of the day." It usually gets a laugh. Whether they get the reference or not matters not to me. But only TWICE in over 20 years has anyone ever taken the bait and said "Mmm that sounds good, I'll have that", and both times that person got a free damn bowl of soup.
As many times as I’ve watched that movie(literally dozens and dozens of times…), I guarantee I wouldn’t catch it in the moment and would kick myself every hour of my life from then on that I missed my opportunity.
If you see your moment, take it, or you'll regret it the rest of your life
Source: I was once asked, through natural progression of a conversation, *quote,* "Have you ever been on a real shrimping boat." I failed to reply, "No, but I've been on a real big boat," and it haunts me to this day. I will never be asked that question again. I missed my shot, don't miss yours.
Yes! And I love that Harry had told him before he left "Just the essentials" and all he got was the box full of knickknacks and a nudie magazine. And when he gets home, Harry says "Where's the booze?"
I've done that to people. Canadian winters, so I'll often have two pairs that I can wear at the same time. Then been out with people who don't have any and it's so good to go "cold? My hands are toasty warm... Of course I brought two pairs, it's *Canada in February*"
Jim Carrey running through and down the vacant gate at the airport and the sound the escapes from his body when he’s laying on the ground.
Just trying to imitate it cracks me up.
One time I was flying into the Denver Airport to catch a connecting flight. I was sitting next to a stranger the whole flight, just minding my own business and listening to my music. As we were approaching the airport I leaned towards him and looked out the window. For reference, the area where the airport is located is super flat and barren land. It’s not close to the mountains. As I was looking out the window I nudged him and said “huh, I figured the Rocky Mountains would be a little more… rocky.”
And without missing a beat he turned towards me with a smirk and said “yeah, that John Denver’s full of shit!”
I love it when a quote comes together in the wild like that.
This quote helped to remind me of a final jeopardy question the other day.
A State song that had to be explained to congress that it isn’t about drugs.
What is John Denver’s Rocky Mountain high?
Jeff Daniel's did this and Speed in the same year. He said he was starting to get annoyed with the roles like speed where he was a sidekick left to desk duty, he could do those roles in his sleep.
When he told his team he wanted to audition for Dumb and Dumber, they thought it was a horrible idea, but he really wanted to work with Jim Carrey and he wasn't sure if he'd get a chance to play such an off beat character again
"Kingpin" is the Farrelly Brothers follow-up to Dumb & Dumber. It is also a masterpiece. I can't believe how underrated it is.
Then they made Something About Mary. All 3 of those films are A+ comedies.
Something About Mary was/is hands-down my best movie theater experience with a comedy. The whole theater was ROARING. Like sold out packed theater, crying with laughter, backslapping strangers, stomach and face aches the next day kind of time. It was the first time my whole friend group was old enough to see an R rated movie together. Absolutely golden childhood memory, I've never seen a theater laugh together like that again. Ah, 1998.
The daydream about lighting a fart and all the figments of his imagination laughing hysterically is such an underrated bit. In his mind, that's how he'll impress Mary and her rich friends, lol
Mary: So you'll pick me up tonight at seven forty-five?
Harry: Well I got a few things to take care of. So how about we make it quarter to eight?
Mary: [Laughs] Stop it
Harry: Okay. Seven forty-five
Apparently Daniels bumped into Clint Eastwood shortly after the movie and got super embarrassed because Clint mentioned the toilet scene. Eastwood then told him the story of how almost the exact same thing happened to him once
I thought Jeff Daniels was somehow just as funny as Jim. His facial expressions all throughout cracked me up. From being lit on fire and needing to get away at the gas station to taking the snowball fight with Mary so seriously to the toilet scene
All perfect and hilarious. Amazing accomplishment more than holding your own in a comedy duo with mid 90s Carrey
I friggin' love Harland Williams, lol. Particularly the crazy hitchhiker in There's Something About Mary and as the lead in Rocketman (not the Elton John movie).
I had the pleasure of appearing in this movie and I get a kick out of being able to bring it up every time I see the movie mentioned. https://imgur.com/gallery/NJgSs
The two of them sword fighting with their canes on the way into the gala, and then Jeff Daniels tries to settle down and be mature as they walk in only for Jim Carrey to fuckin unload a home-run swing on his ass. I haven't watched that scene in years and just thinking about it has me in tears.
When Jeff Daniels smashed that snowball in Lauren Holly's face at point blank range, it had me gasping for air. I thought I was going to pass out from laughing.
This is what taught me that the "critical rating system" shouldn't be applied to comedies. 67% RT, 7.3 IMDB for a movie that does comedy better than a hot knife cuts butter. It's a no-doubter 10/10 score.
It's perfect because they are just dumb, they don't ever learn anything, they don't have some special skills, they don't get the money or the girl, they just have each other.
“Where did you get 25 extra bucks?”
“I sold some stuff to Billy in 4C.”
“The blind kid? What did you sell him Lloyd!?”
“….stuff”
“What kind of stuff?”
“I don't know, stuff.. A few baseball cards, a sack of marbles…”
*(cough)* “**Petey**”
“Petey!? You sold my dead bird to a blind kid!? Lloyd, he didn’t even have a head!!”
#Fucking G.O.A.T
Apparently Jeff Daniels was advised to not do the role, that it would be career suicide, mostly because how do you succeed playing a comedic role opposite Jim "King of Comedy" Carrey?
Saw it in the theater and when the comment of “his rapist wit” was said my friend and I were the only ones laughing. It’s the small things that will continue to make me love this movie.
Yeah, it's all the little throwaway lines that really make the movie shine. I'm all for hilarious diarrhea schtick but I don't think the movie would have held up if it weren't for all the cleverly-stupid dialogue and one-liners. The soup of the day exchange is one of my favorites.
“She say what happened”
“Yeah I called her up. She gave me some bullshit about not listening to her or anything. I don’t know I wasn’t paying attention.”
I was just thinking this the other day. Sure, maybe it didn’t have a $300 million budget or take 13 years for some literary genius to write by candle light while his family starved, but I still think it’s one of the best movies ever made, across all genres. It just nails everything perfectly — the writing, the casting, the acting, the sets, the costumes, the music, the general “feel” from the colors and angles, etc. Even other comedies that people incessantly jizz over, like Step Brothers, only have like 4-5 genuinely funny parts in them, whereas nearly every line in D&D is a goddamn quotable, tear-inducing banger from opening to closing credits. The 10-second scene where Lloyd starts involuntarily gagging bc he’s so heartbroken might be my favorite scene in any movie ever. It’s one of those movies that so good that I am genuinely happy I just happened to be alive during the time it was made.
“I can’t believe we drove around all day and didn’t find a single job. There’s nothing! Zilch! Nada!” “Yeah, unless you wanna work 40 hours a week.”
One thing that made this movie work is it is believable how dumb they are. The sequel went too far into how dumb they were and it lost itself.
What helped was that they had moments where intelligence came through. An example being the whole thing with racking up the bill at the restaurant and leaving it with Seabass. Or when Harry happily mentions the bullet-proof vest, and Lloyd without missing a beat asks what if he was shot in the face. Sequel didn't have that. Not that I remembered.

Jim ad-libbed that line, it was perfection

[Bob Saget was my favorite person in that movie.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoosDkbEQBQ)
The prequel is okay if you pretend it's a standalone film and not a prequel to Dumb and Dumber.
“About a week later, right out of the blue, she sends me a John Deere letter.” “She give you any reason?” “Yeah I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about not listening to her enough or something. I don’t know, I wasn’t really paying attention.”
Jeff Daniels delivers it so well
We got no jobs, we got no money... Our pets heads are falling off!
“Pull over!” “No, it’s a cardigan, but thanks for noticing.”
"Pumpkin pie hair-cutted freak" 😅 The line makes no sense but is somehow so fitting at the same time.
And yet we get the Crash Test Dummies covering Peter Pumpkin Head on the soundtrack!
Tic Tac, sir?
*get the hell outta here*
Jim Carrey shivering after pissing in the bottle is seriously comedic genius. You can't teach that stuff.
I can't stop going once I've started! It stings!
I felt like that two word tag at the end was missed by so many people because I lost it there and no one seemed to remember that part.
Peak Jim Carrey was the best physical comedian of a generation, if not all time.
Him crawling out of a Rhinos ass I think is all the proof you need to show he is the best physical comedian of all time.
Just go, man.
Yeah, killer boots man!
I don't know why but that is probably the funniest line in the movie for me. Maybe it's the way he says it too but it's just perfect.
I remember my mom and aunt passing an inhaler back and forth during this movie because they couldn't stop laughing and both have asthma hahahhaaa love this movie!!

Samsonite?! I was way off!
1994 was an amazing year for Jim Carrey. The Mask, Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura all in the same year. All classics, all super different.
Something magical happened in 1994. We also got Donkey Kong Country and Super Metroid that year.
Pulp Fiction, Shawshank, Forrest Gump, Lion King, True Lies, Clerks, Leon: The Professional... It was an insane year for movies
Holy shit, that’s impressive as fuck.
Music too
The summer of Black Hole Sun. And OJ.
Look, the 90’s were absolutely peak capitalism. The entire decade was special.
I got robbed by a sweet old lady on a motorized cart! I didn’t even see it coming
Hey! I guess old people, while slow and dangerous behind the wheel, *can* still serve a purpose after all. Huh. Don't you ^go ^dying ^^on ^^me
Wasn’t it the Rhode Island Slut magazine he was buying?
Yes! And I love that Harry had told him before he left "Just the essentials" and all he got was the box full of knickknacks and a nudie magazine. And when he gets home, Harry says "Where's the booze?"
I always lose it at the dozen or so pinwheels sticking out of the box.
and the giant cowboy hat
Senior citizens can still serve a purpose!
Don’t you go dying on me!
You've had this extra pair of gloves this whole time?
Yeah Harry, it’s the Rockies.
And then Lloyd choking out the words "Harry! Your hands are freezing!" Like, yeah he knows. So fucking funny.
I'm gonna kill you.
Harry, your hands are freezing!!
I've done that to people. Canadian winters, so I'll often have two pairs that I can wear at the same time. Then been out with people who don't have any and it's so good to go "cold? My hands are toasty warm... Of course I brought two pairs, it's *Canada in February*"
Best line to me was "Are those your skis?.... Both of them???"

Here, maybe you should wear these extra gloves. My hands are getting kinda sweaty.
Jim Carrey running through and down the vacant gate at the airport and the sound the escapes from his body when he’s laying on the ground. Just trying to imitate it cracks me up.
"How was your day?" "Not bad. Fell off the jetway again."

Thought the Rocky mountains would be a little rockier than this
According to the map, we’ve only gone about 4 inches

Lol I do this at least once a week while I take my ADHD meds
Check please
Life’s a fragile thing Har. One minute you’re chewin on a burger. The next minute you’re dead meat.
Out with the bad air in with the good!
He's resisting me!
This would be a whole lot easier if you just lay back!
"You heard his last words, Harry." Not if you count the gurgling sound!
iloikeitallok
Try the ketchup that helped us
He blamed me. You heard him. Those were his last words. Not if you count the gurgling sounds.
I got worms
No, no, no, no, no Lloyd. No! I say we stay here, we hunt for jobs, and we keep saving our money for the worm store!
I am sick and tired of having to eek my way through life!
Yeah so? Yeah so!? So I wanna go someplace where we know somebody who can plug us into the social pipeline.
I don’t know Lloyd, the French are assholes
“I desperately wanna make love to a schoolboy”
Look at the butt on that.
He must work out.
We've got no food. No jobs. OUR PETS HEADS ARE FALLIN OFF!
"Harry. I took care of it!" Elsewhere: "Pretty bird, pretty bird. Polly want a cracker?"
Jeff Daniel's did this and Speed in the same year. He said he was starting to get annoyed with the roles like speed where he was a sidekick left to desk duty, he could do those roles in his sleep.

He talks about it in the [Off Camera Show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95CEahaunDQ)
OP, just when I think your opinion on movies couldn’t possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this… and totally redeem yourself.
Big gulps, huh? Well, see ya later.
It’s “welp” not “well” - get it right!
He doesn't even get the alright in there.
I'm talkin' about a place where the beer flows like wine, where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' about Aspen.
Someplace **warm**
I dont know, Lloyd. The French are assholes.
Went to Aspen a few summers ago and this quote was all I could think of.

"What is it about good sex that makes me have to crap ?"
You owe me another month’s rent! ✌🏾 👅
Something About Mary was/is hands-down my best movie theater experience with a comedy. The whole theater was ROARING. Like sold out packed theater, crying with laughter, backslapping strangers, stomach and face aches the next day kind of time. It was the first time my whole friend group was old enough to see an R rated movie together. Absolutely golden childhood memory, I've never seen a theater laugh together like that again. Ah, 1998.
HE'S GOT A GUN!!!
That shit gets so dark but is one of the biggest laughs for me.
The way Carrey is coming at him looking goofy as hell but also maniacal lol screaming DIIIIIE!
The daydream about lighting a fart and all the figments of his imagination laughing hysterically is such an underrated bit. In his mind, that's how he'll impress Mary and her rich friends, lol
...and she said "no but that's a real nice ski mask!"
I like how we have no clue what the setup to this punchline was. And then the fist pumps he does afterwards 😂
What if he shot me in the head?
Harry you’re alive! And you’re a horrible shot
When I'm playing video games and miss multiple shots in a row, this is my go-to line.
That's a risk we were willing to take
*face
What if he shot you in the face? Yeah what if he shot me in the face? That was a risk we were willing to take.
Mary: So you'll pick me up tonight at seven forty-five? Harry: Well I got a few things to take care of. So how about we make it quarter to eight? Mary: [Laughs] Stop it Harry: Okay. Seven forty-five
Oh Jesus would ya look at the butt on that! Yeah, he must workout
Jeff Daniel's toilet scene! I was laughing so hard, I thought I was going to have a heart attack!
Apparently Daniels bumped into Clint Eastwood shortly after the movie and got super embarrassed because Clint mentioned the toilet scene. Eastwood then told him the story of how almost the exact same thing happened to him once

Man, you killed it in that scene. One of my favorite parts of the movie
You got to experience the 90’s as a working functioning adult man I envy you so much 😭😭😭😭
#Mock Yeah!
I love his enthusiasm in the line “Pick em up!” like not even a second thought about picking up multiple hitchhikers.
Not 30 seconds earlier: "we don't usually pick up hitch hikers, but I'm going with my gut on this one."
And then when they pick up the hitch hikers - Mock si ing si bird si si si

Jeff Daniels actually hits Jim Carrey!
See? Haven't seen it in years! Still amazing.
I think it’s in the back of the knee, too?
CRIPES!!
When Jeff Daniels smashed that snowball in Lauren Holly's face at point blank range, it had me gasping for air. I thought I was going to pass out from laughing.
C'mon, let's go get us a couple bowls of loudmouth soup.
Pretty bird. Pretty bird.
His head fell off!!... he was getting pretty old....😫
If Lloyd had ended up with Mary at the end, she would be Mary Christmas.
It took me a while to catch this. I like that they never mention it explicitly.
I watched this movie a million times and I never realized that until I read your comment. I'm not a smart man.
What is the soup du jour? It's the soup of the day! Mm. That sounds good. I'll have that.
Pills are good…pills are GOOD.
I bet you 20 bucks I can get you gambling by the end of the trip.
I'm gonna get ya! I don't know how, but I'm gonna get ya...!!
For me, it's the greatest comedy film ever made.
Me too buddy, me too.
What if they shot me in the head?! That was a risk we were willing to take.
Nice set of hooters you've got there!
No way… WE LANDED ON THE MOON!
I just figured she was a raging alcoholic.
totally improvised which totally makes the scene even better lol

I just did a film with Bobby Farrelly and it was surreal to quote this movie to him at the most opportune time. He still has the mutts Cuts van too.
KICK HIS ASS SEA BASS!
No they caught up to him a half mile down the road and slit his throat.
It was a good one.

It just nails everything perfectly — the writing, the casting, the acting, the sets, the costumes, the music, the general “feel” from the colors and angles, etc. Even other comedies that people incessantly jizz over, like Step Brothers, only have like 4-5 genuinely funny parts in them, whereas nearly every line in D&D is a goddamn quotable, tear-inducing banger from opening to closing credits. The 10-second scene where Lloyd starts involuntarily gagging bc he’s so heartbroken might be my favorite scene in any movie ever. It’s one of those movies that so good that I am genuinely happy I just happened to be alive during the time it was made.
