How comes you did not mention "Baby snakes" ?

[@Strimbles]

Stop saying "massive" during your ad segments. It's super annoying. Cheers

[@zatomlzxzanamolzy1253]

It's not cool calling him "disturbed" like he's some unhinged psychopath.

[@funkyfoodster]

Total respect for Jim. He witnessed how superficial fame is, knows there's more to life and walked away from it at the top of his game. Good lad.

[@eadweard.]

He's an annoying tosser who shouts a lot.

[@sultanaljuhani1571]

Why doesn't he pick a hobby u know like laying bricks or something. I mean it's easy when u have that much money to get all preachy and phylosophical and shit. Or was it attention seeking bullshit? I don't know

[@benwilton5307]

He's still doing movies, publicity tours, interviews, etc. Not sure how that counts as walking away. Love the man but I always discount the words of a Liar, Liar

[@Mutchy85]

Why would he want to start laying bricks as a hobby? He does what he feels like and that's good. He has earned every cent he has, just for the laughs he gave me growing up. Maybe you should try acting as a hobby see if you get as far as him

[@mrcojocaru]

​@@sultanaljuhani1571how do you know he hasn't picked 10 of those?

[@tatsuvoid]

To be honest I was never that big a fan of Jim Carrey's movies I like some of them but others I really don't. Who he is as a person I think is amazing. To turn away from a career that he knew wasn't validating him and to try and be himself in Hollywood, a world that is as artificial as blue food, is one of the bravest things I've watched a human do. He's awesome.

[@MsProdworthy]

He could no longer get work after the scandal surrounding the death of his much younger ex girlfriend.

[@tatsuvoid]

@@MsProdworthy he'd had three bombs before she died which I imagine didn't help his career either. I think given the caché of his name he still could have got work but I think her overdose and the lawsuits might have been the final nails in the coffin of his desire to act for a bit.

[@simonmarks1545]

Blueberries

[@urbansamurai261]

​@@simonmarks1545wise words

[@101Volts]

Frankly, there *are* a few natural examples of blue food. Blueberries were already mentioned, but there's also the Indigo Milk Cap Mushroom, and Blue Cheese. But don't worry, I hear you; things like "Blue Raspberry" or "Blue Moon Ice Cream" are just artificial.

[@Greginlaseries]

We literally watched him go through an existential identity crisis. I always thought during that period that he was so disturbed he almost became obnoxiously aggressive with his spirituality much like someone when they first begin to read self help books. You could see him struggling and now it seems like he has come to terms with whatever he has discovered. Must admit though there was a period where I thought he lost it. It’s funny my whole life I’ve heard people talk smack about depressed celebrities, telling them to shut up cause they are rich and have great lives. The idea that money and attention will make us whole continues to be a sickness we all suffer from until we face some version of it ourselves. Thanks for the great video 😊

[@CordayDatzTuff]

Your a sheep its sounds cliche but your are not aware of shi lol your mind frame is sad

[@lordsathariel4384]

the idea money and attention will fulfil people is a delusion that is actively encouraged sadly.

[@funkyfranx]

I don't think it's about believing money will make you whole. It's about acknowledging and being grateful for what he has. When you're struggling to pay the rent, nobody wants to hear a rich man complaining.

[@stuco]

Yeah, to say he was obnoxious about it is an understatement. I haven't heard him talk about anything else for years.

[@rhyswong8976]

In 2018, Jim Carrey received a text message while he was in Hawaii that a missile will hit in a matter of minutes. He frantically tried to call his daughter but his daughter wasn't picking up and time was running out. So he walked out into the beach and take "everything" in and told himself exactly that line in the end of this video "I had a wonderful and lucky ride in this life. And yes I had enough" and thanked Life. Clearly the missile alert was false, when it didn't happen. But that one moment changed him a whole lot he said recently, and he looks a lot more happier.

[@TheElbowMerchant]

I remember that day so clearly. My brother was living on the big island at that time, and all I could do was pray it was a hoax or a mistake while talking on the phone with him. In those few moments, I said everything I needed to say, and when he passed away years later, I reflected on that phone call and felt gratitude for the conversation we had, even though the situation that prompted it was so terrifying. Totally unrelated to anything Jim Carrey related, but despite never having heard this quote before reading your comment, it's a poignant message that many people could benefit from taking to heart.

[@VersusArdua]

Doing psychedelics with Jim Carrey sounds like one of those luxuries reserved for high-level royalty.

Jim is unquestionably an all time talent. People with that level of ability usually have some kinda weirdness.

[@coreyjohnson2205]

Jim Carrey a legend in comedy. No one is like him. The mask , Liar liar, ace ventura. Me myself and irene, the truman show, dumb and dumber, spotless mind, fun with dick and jane and yes man. All amazing, all 8/10+ movies in my opinion.

Love Jim. The most off-the-wall comedians often have the most complicated inner thoughts. He'd be a fascinating man to have a heart-to-heart philosophical discussion with.

[@areichental]

I had a chance to run into him in California. One of the sweetest guys I've ever met. Rapping with that gent is a highlight of my life.

Him acting as Robotnik in Sonic touched my soul. I questioned the casting choice because he looks nothing like Robotnik, and then he nailed the character anyway 😂 total respect for the man

He's outstanding. Nothing but respect for this legend.

[@LordCallum]

your videos are absolutely incredible mate. honestly can't get enough

[@JimmyTheGiant]

Glad you like them!

[@mushtikla1]

Absolutely one of the most unique, special and most talented actors ever born, and for sure, one of my favorite ones ever. He has absolutely done enough and I hope he finds peace and happiness for the rest of his life. He has done so much and put smiles on countless faces for decades now, he deserves a piece of mind! I know people who never liked him but I just think they never understood his type of comedy and genius, which is a shame for them, imo. In any case, Jim is a freaking genius in many ways in my mind and I don't think we will see another one like him any time soon, if ever. I grew up on his movies and they will never stop being funny and exciting to me, no matter how many times I watched them.

[@yuriajones]

I've always loved his movies. I absolutely love how he BECOMES the character he's playing. Now, looking back, it feels like he could have used a good therapist to help him answer the questions he was asking himself. That said, he seems to be in a good place these days. I love that for him.

[@adrianmetzler2523]

He’s a part of my childhood and someone I’ve always looked up to. He seems to have a great deal of sympathy which matters to me a lot, even with his fuck ups, and bouts of what may seem like “craziness”, I don’t see him as bad at all, who isn’t slightly “crazy” sometimes and or fucks up here and there. If anyone feels he needs forgiveness, I think he’s shown more than enough remorse for what ever “mistakes” or fuck ups that happen along the ride. He still has my respect and admiration.

[@stevenjostwald]

We’ll done Jimmy. You truly are a giant. Discovered you a year ago and have not missed an episode. We’ll researched and most likeable presentation. Stay true to you and good luck with your new podcast. Lots of love and admiration 👍

[@JimmyTheGiant]

Thank you bro, appreciate the support

[@ReiverBlue1971]

One of the wisest people out there. His talent is utterly undeniable (Liar Liar court and the Bruce Almighty Evan live scenes being my favourites) but his experience of pain, mental health and alternative ways of thinking comes out occasionally, producing incredible moments of clarity as he speaks. Many of the most successful comedians have this bifurcation of happiness and sadness, many of them suffering from depression and other issues that seemingly balances out the humour and effervescence (Robin Williams, Tony Hancock, Peter Cook, Peter Sellers etc). These treasures need to be told how much we love and appreciate them... the rest however can fuck right off ;P

[@breakthecycle5238]

His mom had BPD. that's brutal. Him wanting to cheer her up is a form of parentification.

[@filippians413]

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

Yeah, I guess when you get to the top you can really see it for what it is. He deserved all the success he had and still has, but I'm glad he's at a stage in his life now where he doesn't feel pressured to keep doing films for the sake of doing them, or because he's being told he has to.

He's one of my favorite people ever. Just an absolute goldmine of wisdom and ability to make others smile. Its so sad how exploitative hollywood is.

[@CroshVine]

It's hard for me to imagine how I would've reacted to Jim's words before my NDE. The things that make the most sense to me now sound like meaningless clichés, or far fetched mysticism, to others. But, in my eyes, Jim has awakened to a beautiful truth, and I'm so grateful I'm alive to witness it.

[@NelsonStJames]

Man, Johnny Carson introduced so many great comedians to the world it is insane. It was like an appearance on Carson could make you a made man in comedy. I don't think there will ever be a person with that ability in entertainment again. Generally I start to cringe when people with options most people will never see start getting off into "spirituality", heck it's often cringy when people with no options start getting into spirituality, but a few of the things Carey said actually made some sense. The guy has brought happiness to so many people, I just hope he finds some for himself.

[@MarioMario-mu5tp]

I feel like me and him would connect so well. I would love to meet him someday. His modern view on hollywood is spot on. I'd gladly listen to him all day.

I'm 33 and have been following Jim Carrey's work ever since Ace Ventura. It's been interesting looking at his journey, and he's made me, my friends and so many people around the world laugh, cry, happy, angry, emotional. Only one person I know seemed to think he was an overactor, and he was a fan of Tommy Lee Jones coincidentally 😂 I wonder what's next for him. He's been so present in a lot of people's life through his movies, it almost feels like you know the guy. If he ever made a comeback, I would love to see him in that one career-defining role, an access to unanimity.

[@Timboyxxx]

When he showed up to that E! event and said he was just looking for the most meaningless place to be.. .It makes so much sense, I dont even remember that event, and everything involved with it truly was meaningless compared to so many things that actually matter more. Obviously some kind of experimental bit that he wanted to do. Show up knowing how famous he is, and not really giving a sht about whats even going on there. Also his speech at MIU was the best speech iv ever heard. Plus his art is likely going to be worth so much in 100 years from now, his art is beautiful

I remember In Living Colour in the early 90s, when it was on Sky One. I loved it, and his mid90s movies are a staple for anyone growing up in that wonderful timeline. I actually think his best work was The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine.... The latter being something you can take more from with each watch, especially if youve been going through a break up yerself. And being an early 90s teen, Sonic was a huge deal. So its great to see him look like he's havin a Ball as Robitnik there. Great video. Love these insightful essays on pop culture characters.

Textbook definition of bipolar! When he's great, he's very, very great. When he's depressed, he's at death's door! Another one that fit this was Robin Williams. They are amazing when they're up, but in a bad way when down. Thank God Jim Carrey has managed the lows. He's amazing!
