Jim Carrey is the reason that Cannibal Corpse are in the movie. Apparently hes a huge fan.
Fantastic scene and great band! 😂🤣😂🤘😎🤘
Makes sense. This movie started production immediately after they released their hit song "I Cum Blood" that Carrey has said is his favorite (yes, that's really the name of the song)
Although, the name of the band is misspelled as "Cannibal Corpses" at the end credits.
Damn you. I was about to type that but you freaking beat me to it. My Man.
Edited because I had to say MY MAN.
Fun fact about that song, I can confirm that’s a real thing that happens when you’ve got incredibly high blood pressure.
Google a picture of the Love Boat cast. Captain Stubing was the captain of the boat. It's actually a friggin hilarious joke because the butler looks just like the guy.
Gavin Macleod
I died when he said that! LOL
So you're an old fart, too. I wss just going to make that comment.
You have to be no younger than about 50 years old to get this reference 😆
@@docj72 41 and still got it 😋
"If I'm not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer"...is a phrase I still use to this day.
Also, the line "this house is clean" is from the movie "Poltergeist" (1982). That's a VERY suspenseful movie you need see and "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls" is definitely worth watching.
When Nature Calls, rhinos poop?
I'll give you a call - your number still 911 ?
Dude I use the same phrase all the time too 😁
Ace Ventura 2 is ridiculous and great, but ppl who never saw Cliffhanger dont understand the opening lol
I always use the line from Big Trouble in Little China.
"If we're not back in the hour... call the President."
The "halftime" bit where he slams his head onto the bench was the actual audio from the scene. The director Tom Shadyac once said in an interview that when they shot the scene he couldn't believe how loud it was and the fact that Jim just went 120% on the scene so they didn't ADR the shot at all.
Wow, really? It's been one of my all time favorite slapstick moments since childhood, so to find this about the thud makes it so legendary.
I love how you can see the Dr. Crack up in that shot before they edited it and cut back to him
That looks and sounds like it hurt like hell
Jesus! The man really is a living cartoon character!
@@sarahhughes4437 I went back to check... it is a GLORIOUS character break.
When this movie came out. I was Ace for Haloween that year. Had the hair, shirt, pants. You name it. Knew every line and never broke character. I had to take the next 2 days off because I was exhausted after doing it for hours at 3 parties.
I still quote this movie to this day. I need to find the pictures.
Nice! It never crossed my mind to be Ace Ventura for Halloween
You are now my hero
Ace Ventura 2 is the rhino's ass movie. Arguably just as funny as or funnier than the first one. And when that movie came out in theaters, the rhino scene was jaw-droppingly shocking and hilarious.
To be clear, it is a mechanical rhino. Lol. No real rhino's asses were exited (or entered) in the making of this film.
'Man, it sure does get hot in these here Rhinos!'
Waaaaaaarrrmmm
@@pablosonic892 I'm curious why you felt the need to clarify this lmao
Ace Ventura 2 is excellent, and it's writer/director Steve Oedekerk co-wrote Bruce Almighty. He also wrote, directed, and starred in Kung Pow! Enter The Fist, a spoof of Hong Kong martial arts movies.
Still amazed that he did Ace Ventura, The Mask and Dumb & Dumber all released in the same year. There may never be another example of one actor having three great movies in one year.
Yes exactly!! No other big actor had that much success when they were just starting off as he did in history. Not even Tom Cruise’s career took off that fast. Risky Business was what put him on the map but his next big hit (Top Gun) wasn’t until 3 years after that
Jim's run on In Living Color propelled him into these movies.
@@LordVolkov yes, In Living Color was what got him noticed. No other cast member from that show became as big of a star as him
@@nsasupporter7557Maybe Jamie Foxx, but he did it by turning his back on comedy.
It was all downhill from there
Jim Carrey did an interview, where he said he talked to Anthony Hopkins before filming. He said Hopkins told him to think of Ace as an animal. So Ace Ventura is actually a cockatoo! Craziness if you think about it, the hair and the walk makes sense.🤣
Yes, the character of Ace Ventura is based on a bird… the hair, the clothes, the walk, the mannerisms etc. the thing that’s incredible about Jim Carrey is he’s actually versatile unlike any other comedian (except Robin Williams) he actually gives you something different in every movie he’s in, while other comedians are constantly giving you the same BS in all of their movies
Not a comedian but Nick Cage is the same, can give you multiple different great performances with different styles
@@hdtripp6218 isn’t that apart of being an actor anyway? Lol
@@nsasupporter7557 Yes, but not all manage to achieve that consistently.
How in the world did Jim Carrey of this era have the opportunity to interact with Anthony Hopkins? I was so curious I Googled it, and apparently Carrey was a big fan of Hopkins so he just called him up and asked him out to dinner and that's how they met!
The football players throughout the movie really were NFL players at the time, to include Dan Marino. The sole exception was Ray Finkle, who was fictional (although his back story was loosely based on Buffalo Bills kicker Scott Norwood, who famously missed a last-second field goal in Super Bowl XXV which led to his team losing by one point).
I actually first saw this movie in the theater with my parents. I was just about to graduate from basic training in the Army, and in honor of that we all received overnight passes to go out on the town and celebrate. But while all my buddies were partying at a local hotel, I got to spend the evening with my parents (who'd made the drive to see me graduate the next day) and then sleep on the floor in their hotel room. I did enjoy the movie, though, and it was somewhat amusing seeing my mother get drunk off of two drinks over dinner. 😄
The fact that Finkle was based on a Buffalo Bills kicker… and also Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs. 😂
Thank you for reminding me of a very traumatic moment of my youth. Albeit the other 3 losses didn’t hurt as much. I was used to it by then. 😂
@@Heathen9 what? Are you Scott Norwood?
@@catsabotage3362 😂, no, just an old Buffalo Bills fan that lived through all 4 losses. lol
Scott Shankwood!
5:49 “I practiced making faces in the mirror and it would drive my mother crazy. She used to scare me by saying that I was going to see the devil if I kept looking in the mirror. That fascinated me even more, of course.” - Jim Carrey
Rowen Atkinson created Mr. Bean the same way - 'playing with my face in front of the mirror until this character emerged.'
Friends came after Ace Ventura. Before this movie, Courtney Cox was The Girl from Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark video. Then she was briefly The Girl from Ace Ventura before being forevermore one of the Friends.
Captain Stoobing the Love Boat's captain. The doorman at the party bore a resemblance. Smelt is a fish.
Courtney also has a role in the very bizarre Masters of the Universe, based on He-Man, before this.
She also had a long guest role on Family Ties, which is probably what she was best known for prior to Friends.
But she did Misfits Of Science before Friends.
I knew Courtney Cox as Gloria from Misfits of Science.
she was also in seinfeld for an episode,
My youngest brother has watched this movie so many times as a kid, he soked up the Ace Ventura behaviour to the point, where it's part of himself now. He randomly walkes like him, curles the lip.... When you just quote a tiny bit of the movies today, he is in full on Ventura mode. He is 35 now 😄
@Tchikedy That's a great story!
You're not my sister 😅 also I'm 38, everything else you said applies
Same here :D
@@RickJames-wf2rm hahaha, bumbawae atuna! 😆
@@Tchika bumblebee tuna? BUMBLEBEE TUNA
It's been missed by a few reactors now so its worth mentioning that Mission Impossible was originally a 1966 CBS TV series that was hugely popular at the time and the popular score of the movies is directly from the TV show
Jim Carrey did say in an interview that the character Ace Ventura is supposed to be like a curious bird. That's why he has the tall hair, colorful outfits, and also bobs his head a lot and eats seeds.
Ace Ventura was an original character for this film, it became massive after the movie release and then they made it into an animated kid's show and comics. Im realizing more and more there is a huge generational gap here: up to the early 2000's original comedy movies were very common so it wasn't far fetched to have original characters created for comedies, like for example Dumb & Dumber which also got massive and they were turned into an animated kid's show and a comic. That's a bigger conversation but nowadays the media landscape is very different and comedy movies are not that common if they exist at all. Comedy in these days is produced in other mediums like UA-cam.
You conveniently left out the Mask
They even had The Mask cartoon after the success of the movie
@@EDTGO1 yes, they also had an Ace Ventura cartoon and Dumb & Dumber cartoon, did you know that?
@@nsasupporter7557 because The Mask is an adaptation, is based on a very edgy comic.
@@EDTGO1 The Mask feature is based on a comic.
When Ace was checking the old man's ring inside the mailbox, that man was actually Don Shula, Miami's Hall of Fame coach.
The scene in the mental hospital when Ace slams his face into the bench, if you look closely you can actually see the doctor laughing. It cuts away quick but you can see it. Probably my favorite bit in the whole movie
Captain Stubing was the captain of the titular ship in _The Love Boat_ , a US TV series which for some reason was popular from its debut in 1976 through its finale in 1986. Gavin MacLeod, who played the captain, was thin and grey-haired around a significant bald patch, leading every thin, balding old man as the butt of "Captain Stubing" jokes up through the early 90s (when Ace Ventura was made).
The simple formula was to bring in celebrity guest stars each week to play characters in love themed plots of all sorts. That means it was both somewhat repetitive and somewhat fresh each week. The recurring characters were crew members and where formula characters, exactly as you would expect. The goofy and very horny purser. The female activity director. The ship's doctor. The crew got their share of hot guests from time to time, too. A definite lightweight, but very successful.
@@geraldclough1099 Darn it, now the theme song is stuck in my head.
@@LadyIarConnacht Love, exciting and new
Come aboard. we're expecting you.
My vote for a Peter Pan movie would be Hook
Seconded
For whatever reason, I just really can’t stand that movie. 😂
@@tfpp1 that’s not very bangarang of you, bruv
@@tfpp1 No, I get it. It starts out good, but the Lost Boys are really annoying in that movie, and the sets look cheap and dingy. Shame, because Dustin Hoffman is a great Captain Hook and Robin Williams is a perfect grown-up Peter.
@@jculver1674I’m sorry, that sounds weird because it’s a Steven Spielberg movie… the biggest director ever. To hear someone say that a Steven Spielberg movie is cheap is unheard of
Jim Carrey said in many interviews that he said that Ace Ventura's body and mannerisms were based on the idea that Ace is a really smart bird. Even his hair is modeled after a cockatoo
For the second movie, Carey actually managed to get in the contract that he could be even more over the top. So that movie is basically him at full speed ahead.
Yes, they are football players. The most winningest coach in the NFL and, hall of farmer Don Shula, was the one at the mailbox.
The rhino is in the sequel When Nature Calls. In my opinion it's better the the this one. Both are hilarious.
That dolphin Simone is pure nightmare fuel. It is absolutely terrifying and will forever haunt my dreams.
And she killed Kenny too! We’re really starting to see her dark side!
The rare Canadian Cinebinge Dolphin
Some killer deliveries here. I lost it at the Star Trek references in the pool.
Captain Stubing is from the Love Boat 😄. It was extremely popular romantic TV-drama from 70s and 80s set in a cruise ship. It often featured famous actors and actresses as guest stars playing each cruise's passengers. Each week guest actors were credited along with regular cast as crew in its iconic intro. It had three plot lines format set in each cruise: one revolving around crew member, which was usually most comedic in nature, second story line was more romantic comedy type with some drama and third which was more serious and dealt more serious issues. So a little bit for everyone. Scene is extremely funny if you're familiar with the TV-show.
Its the look of the actor and the uniform. A Google image search for The Love Boat will clear it all up.
10:54 actually the mission impossible you’re thinking of is based on a TV show that came before this movie.
I always thought he used the bizarre behavior to keep others off guard, letting him get access to info and clues since they disregard and underestimate him as a dork.
Captain Stubbin was a character from a VERY POPULAR sitcom during the 70's called "The Love Boat"
Someone else mentioned it, but Jim Carrey insisted on Cannibal Corpse being hired because he loved the band.
I assume you know that Dan Marino is a real player. As far as I know, he's the only real football player in the film.
There are technically two sequels to this, but nobody is going to want you to watch the third movie: it was a direct-to-video sequel made something like ten years after the second movie with no returning cast members or creatives, starring a child doing the schtick as "Ace's kid."
There is a cartoon, but it was made based on the success of these two movies.
I would guess that this was shot before "Friends," but I can tell you it was shot before Carrey was a movie star. He was a breakout star on the Wayans' sketch comedy show "In Living Color," the only white guy in the cast, and then Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber all managed to come out the same year, 1994, turning him into the biggest comedy star overnight.
I still hope that among Carrey's '90s comedies, you make time for The Cable Guy, which I think is his comedy peak. At the time, it was not super popular but over the years it's gained a following as people become more receptive to Carrey doing something a little different (although in this case, not drama -- I won't say exactly what I mean to you can find out for yourself). Expect more Star Trek jokes, though.
The director of this movie ended up being one of Carrey's most frequent collaborators. Tom Shadyac would later direct him in Liar Liar and Bruce Almighty. I wonder if Shadyac was a fan of Ghostbusters, as he snagged two cast members: Alice Drummond, who played the librarian in Ghostbusters and Ray Finkle's mother, and David Margulies, who played the mayor of New York and the doctor at "Shady Acres" -- a reference to Shadyac and what he later named his production company.
don't forget the cartoon that ran for 3 seasons around the same time as The Mask animated series.
The Cable Guy reference from Midnight Express is epic.
Jim Carrey is honestly one of the only actors where no one else could do some of the films/characters he's done 😅 he's genuinely one of a kind lol
If you watch the movie carefully, it was filmed right after hurricane Andrew hit South Florida in 1992, when he's going to Ray finkle's parents home you can actually see major hurricane damage to the right of the highway. All the football players you see in the montage are actually Miami dolphin players from the 92/93 season. The person making the kicks where snowflake is being held is the Miami dolphin kicker Pete Stoyanovich in a dress and a wig.
9:40 Captain Steubing was a character in the TV comedic series, _The Love Boat_ as were references to Gopher and Doc.
Your delayed reaction to the gun in the hip joke was marvelous! I had to watch that twice.
I think I watched it 3-4 times
a perfect sync as well
The story goes Jim Carrey was a big metalhead back in the day, and specifically requested napalm death for the band but when they refused, his second option was Cannibal Corpse.
Mission Impossible was a TV show years and years before the movies came out. They used the original TV show theme in this movie - the Tom Cruise films hadn't issued yet - as it was very well known and recognizable.
I don 't think I've ever seen Simone laugh out loud so much at anything, totally made my day.
5:49 Yes he did. He talks about it in an early interview, studying his face in a mirror while contorting his face.
The part where Ace is in the asylum and he goes "let's see that, in instant replay" was made up on the spot by Jim Carrey. You can see Courtney Cox turning her head to hide her laughter because she couldn't keep it in and caught her off guard. Also the story he tells her where he's being chased by a rabid dog and startles her by showing her the "bite mark" on his neck was also made up on the spot. He genuinely scared the crap out of her. 🤣🤣🤣
When this came out on VHS it came with the Ace Ventura business card. My cousins and I literally watched this movie for 24 hours straight and repeated all the words 😂
You gotta watch the cable guy! Also a Jim Carrey movie :)
The Cable Guy has so many references to other movies and TV shows... The "Oh, Billy" scene is hilarious.
Two of my favorite aspects of CineBinge: Simone’s love of animals and unsettling photoshop in the thumbnail photos.
22:23 The simultaneous realization was gold! XD
Originally, Rick Moranis was offered the role of Ace Ventura. He declined, THE Alan Rickman was considered for the role as Ace. But Jimmy boi got the role and changed the character of Ace by simply being Jim Carrey.
And rob shnider
I've watched this movie and the second one since childhood, Jim Carrey was a staple in my household. So glad you guys could watch it, I feel like Jim Carreys humour definitely rubbed off on me and my mother no wonder why we're so weird 🤣😭!!
Yes definitely! Same with me, my parents took me to see this when it came out in 1994… I was 7 and I was hooked on Jim Carrey ever since. He became my idol from then on. Ace Ventura became my life and I quoted it for years (still do)
@@nsasupporter7557 same!! I still quote it to this day, glad other people love him just as much as I do 💯🖤
The physicality of his character, including how he eats sunflower seeds, is because Ace is based on a parrot, hence his weird hair (crest), head bobbing and weird swagger, etc.
"Oh yeah? What's all this pet food for?"
"Fiber" 😂😂
Ace Ventura, The Mask and Dumb and Dumber were all released in 1994.
Yep, No other big actors career took off as fast as his. Not even Tom Cruise’s career took off that fast
The scene when they get to the party, and Ace calls the doorman Captain Stubbing, and asks about Gofer and Doc, is a reference to the t.v. show The Love Boat, because the doorman looked just like the star who played Captain Stubbing, and Gofer and Doc were two other popular characters.
Fun fact that becomes more obvious on subsequent viewings...........Jim based his appearance and mannerisms on birds for this part.
He spoke about this with Sir Anthony Hopkins, who attempted (and succeeded) to embody reptile characteristics for Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs.
No hint of a lie - The most laughter I’ve ever heard in a movie theater on this’n.
Captain Stubing, gopher, and doc were characters on a 70's show called The Love Boat!
I saw this in the theater with my friends and pregnant girlfriend, and we were all in pain from so much laughing. I actually saw Jim Carrey doing stand up a couple years earlier, right before In Living Color was on t.v., and he is really this insane all the time. :D
In college I dressed up as Ace in the mental institution for Halloween. It was a fun litmus test to seek out the other 80s babies.
Mission Impossible was also a TV series back in the 60s. This movie is actually older than the Mission Impossible movies so that was actually a reference to the TV show
The big guy dog kidnapper in the first scene is played by Randal “Tex” Cobb who was an ex boxer who fought for a heavyweight belt (but got demolished by Larry Holmes). Cobb also plays a client Carry defends in “Liar Liar” and the bounty Hunter in “Raising Arizona”.
Ben Dover in Fletch 2.
The Mission Impossible Theme they used in Ace Ventura originated on the Mission Impossible TV series which aired from 1966 - 1973. I'm sure the cost to use was minimal if there was any cost at all. In 1996 a few band members from U2 remade the song for the Tom Cruise movie.
Whatever you think about this film and/or its jokes Carrey really commits and sells things. And it's genius to make him actually really competent at being a pet detective, It makes things way more funny.
“Oh, there is just one more thing” quote and slow u-turn is a direct homage to classic TV show, “Columbo”!
The joke when he enters the mansion is Love Boat related. An old TV show from the 70s or 80s with a character Captain Stubbing as the lead. So the butler reminded him of the captain.
I know Jim broke a rip doing a stunt in Yes Man.
The sequel to this movie is good, but they cast someone else for the ones after that.
I really suggest you both watch Truman Show. It helped to show the range for Carey and, personally, I think he should have gotten an award, or at least an nomination for his performance.
Yes, Truman is a gem
This will always be one the funniest movies I've ever seen topped only by the sequel (PLEASE watch that one soon!). You think you laughed through this one your face will hurt from laughing so much at the second.
Fun fact: Ray Finkle dude in the picture is really Sean Young as a dude. I didn’t believe it at first until I saw the making of Ace Ventura back in the 90’s.
Can’t remember if it was on FOX channel or E! channel though when Sean Young mentioned it. She wore the wig and mustache.
This was well before the Mission Impossible movies. The theme music was from the old Mission Impossible TV series. And Captain Stubing, Gopher, and Doc were characters in the 80s series “The Love Boat.”
OMG bravo! lol I almost feel like Jim's characters are all very similar because he is who he is. One day down the road you should pay Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls a watch. I personally think it's better than this one. Also if you're wondering if there was an Ace Ventura cartoon then the answer is yes!
Well it’s complicated… Jim is funny in real life too, yes. But he’s not similar to any of his characters… he plays different characters in all of his movies, you have to be more observant. For example, the Cable Guy… do you really think he’s like that character in real life?
@@nsasupporter7557 Cable Guy is a very misunderstood dark comedy.
@@LordVolkov no, I wouldn’t say it’s misunderstood… because it really wasn’t the “flop” that it’s made out to be. Every person I’ve ever spoken to (almost) loves the Cable Guy!
@@BlackavarWD I’m not sure what you’re getting at, buddy… but I don’t need it, ok
You gotta do MAN ON THE MOON.
Jim Carrey's performance as the controversial real-life comedian, actor, and performance artist Andy Kaufman is stellar!
Captain Stubing is a reference to the 70’s show the Love Boat. Funny line.
That long scene where he finds out Finale's true identity is referencing The Crying Game. A recent movie at the time with a big surprise ending.
I remember seeing this at the movies at the age of 10. My dad and I laughed all through this. For the next ten years, Jim Carrey took over Hollywood, with a string of comedy classics and some damn fine dramatic performances, too. He'll always be one of the best.
Yes, me too. My parents took me to see this in the theater when I was 7 in 94 and from then on Jim Carrey was my idol
That headbutt reminds me, you two need to watch The Rundown. That is a seriously fun and funny action flick.
'A little thunder, a little lightning, thunder, lightning...'
Stifler runs away with that movie. What a legend.
When Jim pulls the arm of the cellist, that wasn't in the script for him to do.
Captain Stubing (and Gopher and Doc) are characters from the 1970-80s show The Love Boat.
George.. why did you put Simone's face on the dolphin when Courteney Cox is right there? lol
I couldn’t help myself with Simone killing me. 😂🤣
Edit: also, both of your reactions to it were better than I’d hoped when I changed my name to that.
‘What’s happening I’ve been in this jar!’ Might be my favourite yet.

No way, the second one doesn’t even come close!
@@daltonio6001 In some ways I'd say it does but not fully
@@daltonio6001 I love both films equally, but I get more laughs from the second
Others have explained the Captain Stubing / Love Boat reference. Worth noting that Love Boat comes up in my socials now, mostly for one particular episode which was way ahead of its time in its positive and realistic portrayal of a transgender person, and the prejudice they faced. This stands in marked contrast to some movies I can think of. 😛
"Hello Captain Stubing... How are Gofer and Doc?" Is a reference to "The Love Boat" which was a TV Series about a crew that works a Cruise Ship. 1977-1987
I cannot tell you how many times I got in trouble as a child for talking out of my butt in public 😂😂😂
Jim Carrey himself called the character's reaction "...completely homophobic...", and indicated that he wouldn't do those jokes today, not because of public reaction but because he's grown as a person.
God, I love this movie. Jim's classics are always worth the watch, they're so damn ridiculous 😂
No, they’re the opposite. They’re incredible
Cannibal Corpse is in the movie because JIM CARREY is a big fan. Seriously.
Also, this movie isn't based on any pre-existing property, but it was one of those scripts that was floating around Hollywood for years until Jim Carrey was attached. He added and improvised a lot of the character quirks.
Also also, Mission Impossible is way older than the movie. The movie of MI is based on the TV show from the 60s and 70s.
@16:23- Major reason why Can You Feel the Love Tonight wasn't used- the movie hadn't come out yet lol. Ace Ventura came out in early 1994, The Lion King came out in the summer.
For many of us this was one of our first exposure to the idea of a trans woman - definitely messed up a number of us
The only reason why I clicked on this video was to see these kinds of comments. I won't be watching this video because it's just too traumatic.
The kids are fine. =)
Yep, that part really hasn't aged well. Otherwise, the movie is hilarious.
If you think this is bad think of the people who's first exposure to a trans woman was The Crying Game
Except Lois Einhorn wasn't trans. It was Ray Finkle stealing a missing hiker's identity to murder Dan Marino.
George would appreciate this fun fact. World of Warcraft used to have a character named Finkle Einhorn, he was the one you save from The Beast in UBRS, but after all the recent trouble they renamed the character to be more politically correct.
Ugh
16:16 "why did they go with this song and not can you feel the love tonight?" Because that movie hadn't been released yet ;) This came out at the start of 94 and the Lion King came out later that summer.
Capt. Steubing managed the cruise ship which was the location for all the comedy vignettes for TV's "The Love Boat".
I actually like the sequel (When Nature Calls) even more than this one. It's funnier, the bad guys are even better foils for Ace Ventura, and it doesn't randomly get super transphobic in the last five minutes
You cant watch the Einhorn Finkle thing without understanding the cultural significance at the time of another film - British I think maybe Irish - 'The Crying Game'
Captain Stubing, Gofer and Doc are referring to the TV show The Love Boat.
Captain Stubing, Gopher and Doc are a reference to the 70s TV Series The Love Boat which stars Gavin MacLeod as Captain Stubing, Bernie Kopell as Doc and Fred Grandy as Gopher who was the ship's purser. It ran from September of 1977 to May of 1986.
22:15 - As much as I love the comedy of Ace Ventura, and really love the acting of Jim Carrey, it is rather unfortunate that a major plotpoint of this movie is based on an extremely transphobic stereotype of "the sinister man pretending to be a woman to get away with crimes" (and the both trans- and homophobic "joke" about how kissing a "trans" woman is super disgusting (even though character isn't actually trans)).
This kind of attitude was unfortunately prevalent at the time - and to some extent still is. It doesn't make the movie bad... but it does put a damper on the comedy when you realize just how badly it misrepresents and mocks a group of marginalized people. I think probably the writers didn't even realizing they were doing it, since there wasn't much awareness about trans people back then. They just thought it was a funny joke. But it is unfortunately the sort of thing that needs to be called out in today's political climate with so much hate-mongering about trans people.
You don’t know how to use the word “trans”, and quotations don’t correct that.
@@tempsitch5632 I used "trans" in quotations, because the character I was referring to is not a trans woman - but could be perceived as such, especially by someone unfamiliar with the term. I don't even know what point you're trying to make, as whether the character is referred to as trans, not trans, or "trans" in quotation, doesn't change the fact that the joke relies on a common, overused, and insulting transphobic trope.
Given today's political climate, such a joke (while harmless in and of itself) must be pointed out as perpetuating a harmful stereotype, even if we can laugh at it (each their own sense of humor), we cannot approve of it.
And considering that I am an actual trans woman, I think I know pretty well how the word that describes what I am is used.
@@LadyDoomsinger Swing and a miss.
@@tempsitch5632 I don't know what you're trying to say.
@@LadyDoomsinger I’m just pointing out how you have no idea what you are talking about. It’s embarrassing. Your spelling is awesome though.
Ace Ventura Pet Detective is the definition of a problematic classic.
Amazing performance, but yikes the trans panic 😬
Ace Ventura was based on an other Jim Carry character he used to do on a show called 'In Living Color' named Fire Marshall Bill. That was where the laugh came from.
"HI! I'm looking for Ray Finkle" shotgun put to his face. "And a clean pair of shorts" come on guys. Ya'll can't skip that part 😂😂
Since not many people comment on this, I just gotta say: while many things about this movie are funny, and Jim Carrey is a certified legend, that ending (both the stripping of Sean Young and Jim Carrey's disgusted reaction in the previous scene to finding out about her identity), is one of the hardest film sequences to watch as a trans person. Very indicative of the general attitude toward trans/gender non-conforming people in the 90s.
My favorite comedy of all time, but I do think the gay and trans -jokes are extremely outdated and pretty offensive.
