Jim "the Cable Guy" Carrey in the "Bathroom Beating" Scene

[@grouper49]

maybe the most underrated comedic performance ever

[@Primus-ue4th]

James Hamlett starring Jim Carrey, directed by Stiller? No one has ever talked shit about this movie. ... no one

[@mikeperry7335]

[@way2375]

Howard Walters it got loads of bad reviews

[@thedude1034]

I was literally going to write the same thing. All time favorite scenes

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

What makes it all the more funny is that, Owen's character's attitude and Robin's expression implies that Robin woulda broken it off with him without trouble, making the beating hilariously unnecessary.

[@barbiquearea]

+Shanethefilmmaker Well at least Robin wasn't one of those really concerned chicks who would have gone to the hospital with Owen's character and fell in love with him out of pity. That would have been ironic.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

barbiquearea Actually if she did, then she would have gotten closer to him. Most people often get close to someone in a hospital, because they feel sorry for them and want to take care of them,.

[@barbiquearea]

Shanethefilmmaker That's what would have made it ironic because Chip would have brought them closer rather than tearing them apart.

[@Shanethefilmmaker]

Sorry for late reply but something recently brought to my attention in this scene. Maybe she assumed he left before watching the news regarding the beating.

[@barbiquearea]

Shanethefilmmaker Could be although any normal person would follow up on it if they saw that's what happened to their blind date on the news and at least visit them at the hospital. Of course Robin might have but they still didn't click or Owen's character was just too scared to persue a relationship with her after Chip's warning. Who really knows.

I honestly can't decide if that's the goofiest fight I ever saw or the most humiliating form of an ass-kicking a man could recieve.

[@alexjackson2218]

azraelangelofred To be fair, Chip isn't really beating him up. He's more of roughing him up. He puts his head in a toilet, slaps powder on him, plucks his eyebrows, forces him to suck on a hand dryer nozzle. The only thing that could be really beating up is when he throws him into the hand dryer, throws him out of the stall, throws him on the ground, and punches his stomach. If you want to see a REAL ass kicking, watch Diamond vs Ronnie in The Player's Club. Those females went just as hard as two men fighting each other!(The fact that they were enemies off set too helped to add to how real their fight scene looks)
