When he says "somebody has to kill the babysitter" he means television. That was the messege you mentioned after. He had no dad and his mom neglected him and she sat him in front of the tv growing up 24/7, (the babysitter). His goal was a noble one. He wanted peole to have to reconnect instead of distancing themselves with technology.

@@LTJfan You're welcome. Honestly I can relate to him on some degree bc I never got a phone till I was 18 simply bc I didn't want one or need one. In my head the only reason I ever need one is for a girlfriend or work, and that remains to be the case. If I want to talk to my friends I just show up. I don't need a phone as a barrier.

[@nunisthathigh4825]

Isn't it rude to show up to friends on a surprise visit? Don't you need to let them know you're coming over first? They could be in the shower. On a date. Sometimes somewhere else.

[@0001captainawesome]

It's not rude; unless you know there are solid extenuating circumstances which means you should stay away. I'm pretty well traveled, for reference I am 30, no 31 lol, and have friends of all ages. The vast majority of the time people just show up and hang with me and/ or the family, or vice-versa. (I'm talking about friends, family, respectable people, or sometimes just moderate acquaintances; both "high-born" and "low-born', you name it.) It's the most normal thing from the entirety of my experiences on the central East coast and realms beyond. It's just always been that way. I wouldn't feel weird about it. Maybe it's a difference in area? Though like I said I'm well traveled in the U.S.. Age doesn't make a difference from the knowledge of my travels, well, not as much as people would think anyway. Being a people person always helps of course, and I was born lucky in that regard. I'm just trying to think of reasons because I feel oppositely from you for the most part. If they are not there then they won't answer the door and you leave. If they are in the shower like you said then they probably won't hear the knock even so then you leave. If you think you need to notify first then yeah you either should, or your just nervous or shy. I can't tell you which, each situation will be different. I mean deep down you'll know so it's up to you, but in general I don't think it's weird.

It's darker, it's deeper, most people were going into it expecting another performance like The Mask, Ace Ventura,Dumb and dumber. It's not the same KIND of film but was probably just marketed as "another funny Jim carry movie" which was where the failing was. The film itself is great.

At the end, Carry is saying his mother was never there, there are lots of cable boys and girls that still have a chance, we just have to kill the baby sitter. I'm fairly certain he is talking about TV/media. People just sat their kids in front of a screen and it warps them. Him falling into the satellite and not letting people see the results of the trail reinforce this idea. All in all when I first saw this as a kid I didn't like it because it wasn't funny like dumb and dumber or Ace Ventura, but around 16/17 I saw it again and thought it was a funny dark comedy that I just didn't get at a child. Now at 31 I see the social commentary in the film and enjoy it even more than when I was a teenager.

Jim Carrey's rendition of Somebody to Love is a fantastic cover, the fact that he could sing and maintain the lisp shows he's a phenomenal actor.

It was ahead of its time, like Last Action Hero it dealt thematically with areas people weren't anticipating at that time; they were expecting Carrey in goofy form alone and weren't aware of how dark, uneasy this would be.

The bit about Silence of the Lambs was adlib. Matthew Broderick's reaction was completely organic. The bit about killing the babysitter was reference to the flashback that his mom used the TV to keep him occupied while she ran out to the bar. The guy that picked up the book, if you didn't recognize him, was Kevin Graves, Jack Black's band mate from Tenacious D. It is hard to find a Jack Black film that he ISN'T in. The nightmare scene has so many subtle touches to make it feel creepy. Props to Stiller's direction there. Ignoring what you said at the beginning, I highly recommend Carrey's more serious roles, including "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (is that the one with girl from Titanic you mentioned?), "The Truman Show" (not totally serious, but with serious commentary on the institutions that control our lives), and "The Number 23" (although I would say THAT is his worst film...

"Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" is the babysitter reference he made near the end. It was a cheesy Christine Applegate comedy from the early 90's.

Uh, that's Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead

[@TheRedWaltz24]

@@roleplayer10 Fixed. Thanks! Not sure where I got the "killed" part from.

[@kennymendoza1581]

One of my favs, tbh. Christina Applegate is awesome in every movie she plays, including Anchorman and love "married with children"

[@doingstuffwithrus6574]

This is my favorite movie of all time 🤩. I just woke up and searched for a react video to this. There's only a few.

[@Thagesthoughts]

Cable Guy was one of Carrey's first film roles to break away from the goofy Ace Ventura and The Mask typecasting he'd gotten himself into, and people who saw Carrey and Matthew Broderick in the same film went in expecting a more traditional comedy, since their most famous roles at the time were in comedies. It was surprisingly dark material for both of them, and it would take Yes Man and The Truman Show for Carrey to really flex his dramatic chops and show he could be more than just the zany comedy guy.

I loved Mathew Broderick in "The Freshman" if you haven't seen it i highly recommend it.

[@dantespears713]

Matthew Broderick is like a quarterback who’s only good when his supporting cast is good

[@selfrealeyes]

Another good one that somehow no one ever recognizes, is "Out on a limb" Matthew Broderick is pretty good in it & John C. Riley just kills it as one of "the two Jim's" 🤣

[@TheBossLegacy]

Mattew Broderick in.... "the man who knew to little"... is a underground classic

[@CornishCreamtea07]

That was Bill Murray.

I don't know why people don't like this movie, so many movie references!! I love it! this is the Jim Carrey we totally love from In Living Color totally unhinged. I went to medieval times recently, I feel like this movie enriched the experience.

[@labmonkeyplays6665]

A very underrated gem. Glad somebody gets it. I remember buying it on VHS and having people look at my collection and ask WHY? Cable Guy was off-kilter and dark and possibly marketed wrong sure... but I thought it was a great character study. It has potential for more as a concept but yeah... This was unreal when I found out Ben Stiller directed it and one of my favorite things he's done, Jim Carreys done, I mean... yeah. It's so random and creepy and funny. (And yeah Broderick was so-so but I guess given the role, anybody could have played it given the show Carrey gave)

[@joepangia4413]

“He got the Cardigan on like Mr. Rogers and shit”. Pure gold bro. Thanks for the epic reaction to the only Jim Carrey movie I really like! Peace!

[@findingmariaselvis]

Speaking of 90s and underrated movies in general, if you ever get the chance watch The Birdcage or What Dreams Mat Come. They both star Robin Williams and are so good.

[@DavidGBrooks]

The Cable Guy is one of my Favorite Jim Carrey movies along with Dumb and Dumber and Liar Liar, also really enjoy Me, myself and Irene with him in.

[@TheNativeEngine]

I love how the music follows "Chip".😂 Especially during The Medieval Times fight.

[@shadowking9739]

It's funny that "Chip" makes a Silence of the Lambs reference because one of the cops that later showed up to arrest Steven also played a cop in that movie, specifically in the infamous Hannibal Lecter escape scene.

[@rognroll2786]

One of Jim Carey’s best…that dunk scene makes me laugh uncontrollably every time!

[@coreyhamby2989]

This is one of my favorite Jim Carrey performances. He plays the creepy desperate for a friend stalker. And the movie has pretty good undertones on TV raising kids during that Era. Thats why he said "Somebody has to kill the babysitter" that's why he jumps onto the satellite trying to knock out the television.

[@chanceneck8072]

I randomly saw a clip of Jim Carrey yelling that Star Trek melody into Matthew Broderick's face in that knight fight (10:23) in a Angry Joe video and it made me laugh so god damn hard that I just had to find out, which movie that was from. I didn't even recognize Carrey or Broderick at first.....
