Decided to put up Liar Liar early this morning , not sure how much I'll be on after I wake up. And I absolutely love this movie so it deserves some extra time for love and praise. It's probably the most palatable across demographics when it comes to Carrey's movies and certainly the most well rounded comedy , and one that actually shows a bit of heart along with a pretty great premise that make outstanding use of Carrey's physical comedy. The pen in BLUEEEEEEEEEEEE scene still get's me to this day , along with the scene where he kicks his own ass in the bathroom. They had some brilliant lines in there too , like the office scene , the "I've had better" line in bed with his boss. And some of the stuff he weaseled his way around when he couldn't lie to still get the job done. Truthfully speaking this could have been above Me , Myself and Irene as far as comedies go for me , it's probably the better movie all around but I enjoy the more adult humor in the latter. Liar Liar is great though and showed the true potential of Carrey at the box office. What he said. Liar Liar was #3 on my list and could have easily made my #2. The movie is hilarious from start to finish, and as UT pointed out it has the most mass appeal of any of Carrey's comedies.

Love Liar Liar. It and Me, Myself & Irene are my first and second favorites of Carrey's comedies. Then I think it goes Ace, D&D, and Mask for me... with Ace 2 probably deserving a spot in their midst as well. Liar Liar excels in that it mixes the best of rubberface Jim (to steal a Ness-ism) with the sentimentalism of a Truman Show perfectly. I think I can live with Liar Liar at #4 overall, especially since I haven't rewatched ESotSM in long enough of a time to really recall an accurate opinion of it. Here's hoping Truman pulls the upset at takes #1!!~

Liar Liar was the highest ranked comedy on my list as well. Very nervous Dumb and Dumber will take the top spot.

I'm so happy Dumb and Dumber only came in at #3 , I feared like others it was going to take the top spot. It probably sounds like I hate the movie , but I don't (it made like #6 on my list) but in the realm of Carrey comedies and comedies overall I do find it incredibly overrated. People call it Carrey's best comedy or one of the best comedies ever made and I think that's just going to far.
It does have some hilarious moments though , I enjoy Daniels more than Carrey overall and think he does a stellar job. I still go back to the scene with the two pairs of gloves all the time and get a good chuckle just thinking about it.
I know people love this movie though , I wish at least Liar , Liar would have finished ahead of it. It's a far better movie.

Sigh.
My favorite movie of all time. Endless quotes. Lightning in the bottle when you judge it based on the other two movies.
If you didn't want it number one I hope you stub a toe and once the pain goes away you step on a lego. Shame on you.
Shame. Shame. Shame.

It made it to number 10 on my list because I've seen it. But it's the total opposite of what I want in a film. Just not funny to me at all and just really annoying.

Dumb and Dumber is one of my favourite comedy films. It's just as silly as Ace Ventura. The difference is I can watch Dumb and Dumber now and still laugh my ass off at most of the shenanigans. It's the best Carrey comedy by a significant margin. It's actually kinda strange that I like it so much because a lot of comedy movies in that style make me react like PB: But it's the total opposite of what I want in a film. Just not funny to me at all and just really annoying. I feel this way about most stupid goofball comedies like The Mask, Step Brothers, There's Something About Mary, Fargo, all beloved comedy films by most. Dumb and Dumber shits all over them.

It's a love story. Nothing else needed. And it's by far his greatest film.

Dumb and Dumber would have been my #2 and the movie I was rooting for to take the top spot. It was one of my go to comedies for years. Lots of memorable/funny scenes. And I still need to get one of those epic Dumb and Dumber suits before I die. I do agree with UT that Daniels was funnier than Carrey in this comedy classic.

D&D had this weird trajectory for me.
When I was young and first saw it, I didn't get it... Like at all.
But then, I kept coming back to it through not-purposeful rewatches, and the more times I saw it, and the older I got, the more and more it grew on me. To the point I love it now, and refuse to see the sequel out of principle.
I'll always be in the Harry camp too, for the record.

Dumb and Dumber at #2 on my list and it was a fight with Liar Liar to the bitter end. Basically Liar Liar was more consistently funny but D&D gave me the harder laughs. Dumber and Dumber is funny in a brain breaking sort of way, you watch these guys on screen and you just want jump into the TV and smack the shit out of them for what they're doing. And for some odd reason that just hit the right notes for me.

1. Fargo is a failed attempt at comedy or satire.

Dumb and Dumber was my easy number 1 pick. I'm a sucker for slapstick, low brow humor and Carey's eccentricities were perfect for his role as Lloyd Christmas. It has so many memorable quotes that pretty much ruled my high school for a solid year or two after it's realease (until the Cable Guy came out.)
