Perhaps.
But he's absolutely correct about Fox "News" and has a platform to get that particular message out loud and clear.
Not sure what you mean I am talking about one of his old movies I had to suffer through with GF. The guy made what he considers funny faces and dancing around twisting his body like a sped. I am surprised some advocates for retards hasnt complained about him.
well it seems like you're offended because you must be a retard, even retarded people know the difference between being silly and mocking mentally challenging folks such as yourself

I do not make fun of retards and do not believe Carrey should profit off their disabilities.
He had a couple funny movies early on but hasnt been funny in over a decade or even relevant.
His comedy was completely one note like was mentioned above and in small doses/at first was comical. Once youd seen it once though youd seen every single movie hes ever been in much like Jack Black and it got stale very quickly.
Now hes just using pathetic attempts to get attention again most likely with the hopes of getting more work. At best hes a has been hack who other than acting like a complete idiot really wasnt a good actor nor someone who was ever taken seriously.
I think he's like Bill Murray, Jerry Lewis and other funny guys who make a pile of money and want to expand their range. I don't think many actors want to be looked at like a one trick pony. Jerry Lewis refers to himself in the third person to separate himself from his goofy man/child persona.
After making enough money, Carrey can afford to take chances. That said, I think he's dipping back into the familiar pool to be relevant again. But like John Travolta, all it takes is one hit movie to be back on top.

I'd pull Murray out of that group. He's a genuinely funny guy regardless what he's doing.
The other two are purely acts. Carey basically just ripped off Lewis' act and updated it a little.

I wasn't talking about funny. That's pretty subjective since Murray, Lewis, Carrey,etc made a bunch of money using versions of the same act. I meant I don't think they want to be confused with their onscreen persona. Murray tried to truely act in "The Razor's Edge". People were confused and stayed away. That movie combined with his high salary and studio politics, made him rebuild his career.
What IS funny is that someone was so pissed off about the anti-gun video Carey just did, that they felt the need to start a thread about his career.
We should all be half as successful as Carey.
Although I don't agree with Jimmy on this one , you have to be a real douche to get upset about an American citizen exercising their right to free speech.
If you have a problem with it, maybe you should get a turban and some Khat, and go live in Somalia.

Dickwad, I havent seen his video. I can just imagine it is something controversial to try to get his face back out there since his career is drowning. His act is old and people tire of his acting like a retard. Its only funny for so long. I will credit him for being as funny as Jerry Lewis which is to say he isnt funny in the least.
If you bothered to read my Op you would know my GF made me suffer through a Carrey movie. It was like spending two hours in a sped class. Flailing his arms and talking like a tard just made me suffer. Whether you believe me or not I dont give a shit.
Carrey is an idiot. Having had several bombs recently, he attacks gun owners just as he's starring in a newly-released movie (another bomb) and about to star in another. I bet the studios are just loving him. What a 'tard.

First of all Jim Carrey is Canadian. Secondly, and most importantly, he is way more annoying than he is funny. And finally, he got involved with that stupid fucking cunt who thinks that immunizations caused her kid to have autism (and who continues her loud mouth crusade which has been thoroughly discredited) which is fine, except that he jumped right on board with that shit.

He is grasping at straws. He hoped making an anti gun message would translate into asses in the seats for his next bomb of a movie. He has never been funny, just that to seem edgy people will go along with the premise he is really funny and they better be laughing.
