Steven Meets The Cable Guy | The Cable Guy (1996)

[@michyg.]

I love how he runs away before Steven could change his mind about hanging out with him😂 so childish☺️

[@Avendale]

Jim Carey was really showing off his range here, creepy, disturbing, but also incredibly funny, not too many actors can play a character like this.

[@nsasupporter7557]

Yes, thank you! Thank you for recognizing that Jim is talented and versatile… I’m so sick of ignorant people saying BS like “he always plays the same character” or “he always plays Jim Carrey” I’m so sick of hearing that. Jim Carrey is the most versatile and amazingly talented comedian in cinema history. He plays different characters in all of his movies and gives us surprises in all the movies he’s been in, he never gives us the samething twice… unless he’s doing a sequel like that Ace Ventura sequel

[@JagerFrostTroll]

It's his best role next to Truman show imo

[@nsasupporter7557]

@@JagerFrostTroll disagree… Cable Guy is good but not his best… wouldn’t go that far.

[@alvexok5523]

I think that if Steven hadn't said that "You're gonna get some high marks" to Chip, Chip would've more likely just seen Steven as another customer and not as someone who he thought was offering friendship and therefore try to latch himself onto him like he did. In other words, without the "high marks" comment, Chip would've more likely have left Steven alone. But of course, if that had happened, there would be no movie

[@nsasupporter7557]

@@alvexok5523 I think there was more to it than that. Chip was already desperate for a friend anyway and the whole encounter with him and giving Steven free cable and then agreeing to hang out with him got Chip thinking they were friends

[@JeffJK000]

Matthew Broderick, Jim Carrey, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Jack Black. Wish they had casts like this these days.

[@sambraham4677]

Jack Black and Owen Wilson were still new and tamed though, imagine if they were untamed!

[@alvexok5523]

@sambraham4677 Jack Black's character was definitely more straight and less funny than many of his future characters were going to be, I guess at this point he hadn't quite found his style yet. Owen's character was really unlikable here, the way he talked to that waiter. If he'd done that in the movie "Waiting", they would've done some nasty things to his food.

[@alvexok5523]

Ben Stiller didn't have any speaking parts here, but was still scary looking in what he was shown as. Stiller actually had some nasty characters in his earlier movies, in his pre-Meet the Parents days. His role as nursing home staff in Happy Gilmore, he was a straight-up jerkass.

[@reginalddumas4525]

It would be cheaper if we treated housing as a human right and jailed some real estate speculators and slum lords for their price fixing and extortion. Property is mostly just overpriced dirt, and treating it as a commodity for the highest bidders wastes trillions in unrealized real wealth by making it unaffordable for our youngest innovators, artists, and future business leaders to live in metropolitan areas where there energies could effect the most progress... all so some lazy private equity managers can make something for nothing and maintain an artificial scarcity.
