I'd say Carrey as The Riddler.
Ace Ventura was pitched to Rick Moranis and David Alan Grier. When Carrey took the part he completely rewrote the movie to showcase his improv.
The Grinch will always be Boris Karloff to me.
The Riddler was an established character who had previously been best portrayed by an extremely physical comedian/impressionist (Frank Gorshin). The no-brainer casting was thought to be Robin Williams until Carrey came on the scene with his insane body language. The timing was perfect with The Riddler coming up in the villain rotation just as Carrey was hitting his peak.

Carrey was a horrible choice for the Riddler. Obvious maybe in the sense that the studio just couldn't help themselves, but that was a horribly miscast role for Carrey.

Carey was a terrible Riddler, he was just Jim Carey in a green suit.
