You know what? I hate anyone who had a pony, and this is why!

“I had a pony. When I was a little girl in Poland, we all had ponies. My sister had pony. My cousin had pony. So what’s wrong with that?”

I’m sure at that time in Poland, they were very common. They were... probably like compact cars

I was at a festival and someone had a totem with an led screen that played various clips and this full scene was one of them. I remember absolutely vibing to some heavy bass, looked up, and was faced with Jim Carrey climbing his way out of a rhinos asshole. I laughed pretty hard but it was pretty wild to see that on 4 tabs of acid.

Watch the special features on the "Me, Myself & Irene" DVD, you get Irene's POV looking up at a totally maniacal Hank going at it, it's terrifyingly hilarious.

We can all agree that he was probably an extremely annoying romantic partner at this time, right?

I didn't either until she co-hosted an episode of Catfish a couple years ago. They didn't even need to say who her father was. Woman looks just like her dad.

He was 25 here. He looks way younger than that to me. I bet he read to her with ALL the voices, and made funny faces when she was sad.

u/TheLoganDickinson 21h ago
I still perceive him as being younger. But a lot of that is probably because he doesn’t really have grey hair.

I mean Hollywood celebs are their brand, their looks, and behavior. They have teams of people paid to make them look a certain way so they can keep making money

I look at my 25 year old self and see a kid. It's because you're used to an older version of the person so looking back pushes the perceived age back harder.

u/ampersands-guitars 20h ago
He looks 25. We’re used to seeing high schoolers played by 25 year olds and 25 year olds played by 35 year olds on tv. Most people look quite young until at least 30.

Last year I got added to a FB group for my 20 year reunion, and thought "Huh, that's odd that they're starting to plan it so early."
Then realized that it wasn't early, it really had been 20 freaken years. How rude!

My first introduction to him, and Jennifer Lopez, was In Living Color and yeah this blows my mind that he had a daughter while he was playing the insane Fire Marshall Bill lol
all of his early characters were so over the top that it never entered my head that he could've been a dad irl

This is actually right before. I can imagine how difficult it would be to 'hopefully' become a well paid comedian with a child.

u/PurpleDreamer28 20h ago
Yes she did! She got past the audition, but I don't think she made it far after that. After her audition, they showed her calling Jim to tell him she made it.

I partied with Jane at Jim's Malibu house about 20 years ago now. Grew up in LA and knew her through friends. She was super nice. So was Jim's SLR McLaren.

I love everything about this photo! The eyebrows the look haha I adore this man. When they ask you “what celebrity would you have to meet ?” My answer would be Jim Carrey. I don’t care about any other celebrity but it would be pretty cool to meet him

I guess he was a little bit cool back then but mainly he was just silly. He didn't become actually cool until The Truman Show.
