"A bird in hand is better than two in the bush" means it's better to have one thing for sure, instead of two possible but not for sure things.

[@Riggs_The_Roadie]

Huh, I've heard that saying all my life and never understood that. Cool.

[@Zairn12345]

A buddy and I developed our own saying off that which is “a hand in the bush is better than killing one bird with two stones, eh?” 😅 The meaning here is, you’ll never know what you’ll get from life’s unknown bushes, as many people take two shots at the same ol same ol and wind up just getting the single bird. In the end wasting their opportunities and never taking a leap.

Jim Carry didn't "fall off" so to speak, he walked away from Hollywood while making Kick Ass 2. There's a couple interviews about it. Check'em out.

[@ImJamieX]

true, he does 1 violent scene in kickass 2 and it cracked something in him, or broke something that was already cracked.. im sure "number 23" did a number on him too (no pun intended)

[@Britcarjunkie]

Nope: In 2015 his girlfriend was found dead. It was ruled suicide via a drug overdose. He ended up going back to a former girlfriend - though she was married at the time. Well, she also died in 2015, apparently from prescription drugs that he allegedly paid for. Her husband, and her mother, both filed wrongful death lawsuits against him.

[@Gradyolson]

​@Britcarjunkie if I remember correctly it sent him down a real existential crisis and he just kinda broke as a human I don't know that he has really recovered or come back from that place. It's one of those thing that if he dies and we find out it was self inflicted I don't think I'll be that suppressed.

[@Britcarjunkie]

@@Gradyolson You never know...he apparently also suffers from depression, so, he had issues to begin with.

[@kevtb874]

I think he outgrew his own schtick. He essentially admits to himself that who he was was an act and he couldn't do it as a 50 or 60 year old. It must have been exhausting. He's simply entered a new stage in life. None of should aim to be the same person at 60 as we were at 30. He also lived a life of wealth success and fame and discovered it's true what they say. It's not everything.

currently theres only 2 reaction channels i sub to, yours and Ashleys. her big laugh is so addicting and she is just super entertaining to watch and best part is her reactions are genuine. As for you, your reactions reflect my own so it makes it more fun for me. You enhance the movie for me and make it more fun to watch. Rather than watch your reaction, you are the kind of person i would enjoy sitting and watching a movie with just because we would look at each other the same way when something stupid happens. lately i catch myself saying "Thanks for Playin!" when i see someone who gonna die, even in video games lol. its one of my fav catch phrases from you.

[@EAssassins]

I thought jim carrey just realised he had dedicated years to an industry that hasnt really given him the happiness or meaning he wanted from life, seen a few clips where hes bit weird but seemed cool - just had enough money an comfort to not be stuck in the hard reality like the rest of us lol seen a few comments here saying hes been wierd or gone bad but dont know why

[@stonerthoosie]

From my understanding, James just got tired of the Hollywood machine and realized he wasn’t happy. I’ve heard he’s been putting a bunch of time into painting. Not sure if all of that is true or not, but what I do hope he’s happy wherever he is. He was a big part of my upbringing, but he is a person just like the rest of us. And I hope that he’s doing well ❤

[@DonnaBump]

Yup, he quit for a while... painted a lot. "Comedians in cars getting coffee" has an interview that covers some of it. I think he came back to acting in the sonic movies to try to inspire the new generation. He realized it is hard to help or change things without that famous lime light.

[@itss_nattyj]

That was a super sweet shout-out to Ashleigh. She’s one of those reactors I go to when I need to laugh. She’s great and reminds me of someone I would be have been friends with in college.

Shout out to Ashleigh! My man. Mad respect for doing this. You both are awesome in your own way. Love you both. :)

"You can't be God and be petty." So, there was this one time a bunch of kids got mauled to death by a of bears because they called a man bald... Someone here recommended The Bucket List. I definitely second that. It's an amazing movie.

He never really fell off. He said in a couple interviews he went on a hiatus and about not wanting to be "Jim Carrey" the actor anymore. Kinda like a self reflection journey he went on, staying out of the media. But if you havent seen it, his performance in Me, Myself and Irene is easily one of his best!

[@wubranch1]

It was in the late 2000’s when Carey started to fade. He did some movies that fell flat, and people just weren’t going to watch him anymore. If you want to watch him act, my favorite is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Ashley is great.

[@DeathBeforeComicSans]

Gah. Jim Carey hits everyone, but you have to be Canadian to catch the best stuff. That cane drop and fall at the end was SO CANADIAN, and I can’t even explain it. 😂

He never fell off. He just had a show a couple years ago named Kidding and it is a must watch

[@mikeshoe74]

'A lot of great comedians can pull off dramatic roles, but not too many dramatic actors can pull off comedy' Jackie Gleason said something similar to this.

I love awkward Ashleigh too. You are so sweet to mention her xx

[@T27609]

If you want to see Jim Carrey ACTING? The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Man in the Moon. And he just kinda retired, he made a ton of money so I don't blame him. Also, I love Ashleigh too ❤

Evan Almighty with Steve Carell, the follow-up to this movie, is really good. I know some other ppl have commented here about this, Jim Carrey's gone through a lot over the last number of years, especially depression.

Correction: Awkward Ashleigh is her 2nd channel. Her main movie channel is called Ashleigh Burton. I’ve been a fan of Ashleigh’s since her very first reaction (Star Wars) where she legitimately fell for a comment that said that Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca were going to get it on in Empire Strikes Back. She’s one of the most lovable human beings on the internet. If you like Ashleigh, I would recommend that you check out Whimsory. She is Ashleigh level quirky and awesome.

The first movie where Jim fell off was after the Number 23. It’s actually a pretty good movie but it was the first real bomb he had other than The Cable Guy. Which is also excellent.

[@TheLightSideReactions]

9:35 Notice how Bruce's voice is different when he reads the phone number? In the original theatrical release, they used an actual phone number and it resulted in the real-life owner of that number getting non-stop prank calls asking to speak to God. So in the home video/DVD release, they changed it to a fake phone number and did a voice-over.

[@chadparsons50]

7:17 "He's like Ryan Reynolds". That kinda makes sense, they are both Canadian after all.

[@michaelpennington9327]

I love Awkward Ashleigh. She was actually the first movie reactors I watched. She only had a handful of reactions when I started watching her.

[@itss_nattyj]

Jim Carrey definitely did not fall off. He “retired” from acting and focuses more on his art and design works and has published a couple of novels. I put Jim in the same category as Keanu Reeves - he’s lovable, a straight shooter but kind, introspective, and spiritual. If you haven’t seen them, check out both “Man on the Moon” (1999) and “Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond” (2017). The former is a biopic/drama/comedy where Jim plays the late Andy Kaufman and really shows his acting range, delivers an outstanding performance. The latter is a documentary, a BTS of the Man in the Moon, which shows Jim’s interesting transformation into Andy and ultimately into a new more enlightened Jim.

[@ArchDethKreation]

jim carry never fell off. Hes too good. He just got old

[@rogerhurt5569]

Robin Williams has greater range than Will Ferell, Jim Carey, & especially Ryan Reynolds. Jim definitely has the physical comedy throne, though.
