Context is key… he was doing things in the late 80s/early 90s that nobody else was doing. I want to go back and re-watch some of his movies that I didn’t care for when I was younger. Cable Guy comes to mind… released at the same time as The Nutty Professor, which 14 year old me thought was hilarious. Cable Guy was too dark for my tastes then. I bet it plays better now.

Carrey. Best physical comedian since Lucille Ball. Robin Williams is the only modern one I would put in the same conversation but he is almost in a different category.

Watch it again, Cable Guy is arguably his best work during that era. His performance is unsettling but
