    I thought both were good silly, just that Ace is better silly! Bad silly is a Wayan's brothers movie.

    Just not a lot of thought goes into a Wayan's bro's flick, the jokes all fall flat for me. Can't specify why for myself. I guess comedy can be a pretty personal thing.

    Good silly is Harpo Marx, John Cleese, or John Belushi's samurai; you're talking about bad silly (Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) and slightly less bad silly (Dodgeball.)

    Jim Carrey was doing stand up/impersonations in the early '80's as well as the tv show, Duck Factory (1984) well before he was on In Living Color.

    Plus he was always the best part of the show. Though I actually didn't mind In Living Colour, it's specifically their movies I can't stand.

    I'm not a big fan of most Wayans movies, either, and I also did not mind "In Living Color," except for Jim Carrey's characters. He was totally the worst part to me, always, on there. I know it wasn't his real first work; again I was being facetious. I like about half of his movies; a few of them, I really love.

    Sorry again. That was not meant as a complaint but as an apology. I felt I should explain when I realized that another joke was not clear. Anyhow, it was a turning point in his rise to fame.

    Agreed that not many knew of him until his work on that show but disagree that he was discovered by them.

    Close enough for government work. Everybody was saying they like Ace Ventura. Pablo then said that Dodgeball is not as good. Theli suggested a better example of stuff not as good comes from the Wayans,. And I opined that Ventura is just as bad as that. Most redeeming thing about Dodgeball for me is its blunt satire of typical sports movies.

    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    SNL passed on Jim Carrey. Reportedly, Lorne Michaels wasn't at the addition.

    Things worked out for the best, but it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he were on SNL instead of In Living Color. Personally, In Living Color suited his comedy better I think.
