It was just too early for people to appreciate dark Jim Carrey in the 90s, definitely an underrated movie.
This came out in 1996, and the early 90s were almost an extension of the 80s. We didn't really get to the "extreme" stuff until the late 90s. Even in '96, people expected their comedies to be wild and off the wall, especially a Jim Carrey comedy. There was that glorious period of about 4 years between 1997 and 2001 where you could do almost anything creatively and people respected it whether it worked or not. In 1996, people were still dipping their toes in the water. They weren't quite ready to cheer for the bad guy yet.
I never understood the hate for this movie. I absolutely loved it. I worked at the theater and got to watch everything.
I never hated this movie, thought it was good 6/10
@Darkstar You have no clue. Carrey was celebrated for his roles in over the top comedy movies like The Mask, Ace Ventura, or Dumb&Dumber, his antagonist roles like in Batman Forever or The Cable Guy were getting mixed reviews from critics and viewers at the time. The only role in the 90s that he was heavily praised for that was somewhat serious and less total comedy was in The Truman Show. Blind&fanatic celebrity worship existed since decades earlier, and is not even what I talked about here, thats something you brought up.
@Darkstar
Jim Carrey was appreciated in the 90s of course, he’s not saying he wasn’t
He’s saying DARK Jim Carrey was under appreciated 😊
This was 100% a dark comedy, and sadly very much ahead of its time. Jim Carrey played his role perfectly.
Yeah I thought it was great as a kid, and I still think it's great!
@@tayzk5929 same here buddy 🤙 Jims performance was incredible, Faking a lisp seamlessly is not easy to do
@@VoidMySoul Do you mean it? Am I really your "buddy?"
@@slchance8839 😂 ofcourse! Chip
He got into more serious films later but I feel like this is the best of both types. He really is a psychotic comedian in this.
Chip was supposed to die in the original version, but the ending was changed because the test audience didn't like it. So they went back & filmed some additional scenes where he survived.
A seriously underrated masterpiece!
Way ahead of its time!
I really dont get the hate for this movie
@@TyMarshall007There's no hate. It's just not praised enough
DEFINITELY!!! THIS AND THE TRU(e)MAN SHOW VERY ILLUMINATI SHAPED MONITOR DISTRACT AND CONTROL
Jim Carrey plays the obsessed creepy guy really well in films especially this and Batman Forever.
I love how every part of the cable guys identity is just films and shows. From his aliases to the phases he repeats
This is one of those movies that gets better the more you watch it. Jim Carrey is the man.
Ernie (Chip) Douglas was a character on the sitcom, “My Three Sons”, Larry Tate was a character on “Bewitched”, and Ricky Ricardo from “I Love Lucy”.
Jim Carrey is so freakin hilarious. Pure genius😂 Guys u gotta check out his movie “Me, Myself and Irene”(2000)🔥
ABSOLUTELY Me, Myself, and Irene! Definitely one of my favorites!
I concur. I wish more reactors would do that one.
Yes
When this came out people were not expecting a Dark Comedy from Ben Stiller starring Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick.
My dad took me to see it in the theater and while I thought it was hilarious he was lost most of the time.
This was one of my favorite movies when I was like 12/13 even though I didn't get a lot of it the same way I do now it's still an hilarious movie ahead of it's time really
Yeah I don't think anybody was prepared for dark Jim Carrey
Note: Every time Chip does the music himself, he's also quoting a theme from another movie. (That's when they play the original)
The medieval fight (17:00) was taken from a famous scene from the original Star Trek episode "Amok Time", even the weapons looked the same.
The climb on the antenna (31:00) was Bernard Herrmann's Theme from "North by Northwest", a classic Hitchock movie. (The same guys made "Psycho").
Something else y'all need to realize is... the filming & editing of this movie happened way before the internet was commonplace. Just FINDING the music from "Amok Time" took nearly three days and driving all over town to locate a CD with that music on it. (I know, because I'm the Production Assistant who had to hunt it down and buy it from the record store) ... then we had to get the licensing rights to use it in the film.
@@ericc8705 Somehow I would have expected you to go to Paramount's vault and get the tracks directly from them as you had to ask for the rights anyway …
I started collecting soundtracks around that time, so I know what it's like rummaging through stores and second hand shops … and eBay, when that became a thing. I'm sure I've got the CD you found in my collection too.
They made a ton of those "Stranger seems ok at first, then slowly destroys your life" movies in the 90s, so this was a spoof of that. Really ambitious feature directing debut for Stiller, even if lots of folks didn't know what to make of it back then.
Funny how everything his character was saying about the future has come to pass now.
Like what?
Stiller directed Reality bites before this
My head EXPLODED when I saw you two reacted to this 😂😂😂
There goes my afternoon!
One of the most underrated Jim Carrey movies ever. Say what you will about the dude himself, he is hilarious.
Ernie Douglas is a character from the 60's TV show "My Three Sons". He was one of the sons. Another bother/son is Chip and they were played by real life brothers.
The "My Three Sons" reference just kills me each time I see this, particularly Carey's impersonation of Ernie's smile.
A few years after this movie came out, I went to Mideval Times in NJ. Everything about the food was true, from the roast chicken to the lack of utensils, and yes they served Pepsi 😆
Ah the 90's, what a time to live.
And then the 2000s happened.
@@zombiewarrior88 2000s sucked for the most part, at least compared to the '90s.
What amazes me is so many people won't get the "Oh Billy" bit and what movie it is from.
Midnight Express, right? Didn't see the whole movie, but I saw the scene 😜
I sort of had a friend like this. Seemed normal at first but then started calling me 15 Times if I didn't answer. Show up at my house unexpected. Tried to be friend my gf as well. This movie hits me hard but I love it. Especially the Medeveil Times scenes lol
May I ask what happend to this friend?
Also, you guys HAVE to watch ”saving silverman”!! Its got jack black in it! So damn funny! Tons of memorable lines! ❤️
“I think I see something in the back of the refridge- …. In the back of the closet” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of my favourite and funniest Jim carrey films ~ criminally underrated !
I still quote this damn movie and no one ever knows what tf I’m saying but that’s okay because entertaining yourself is pretty important
So glad you guys did this one! I think this has to be Jim Carrey's most underrated gem!
Agreed way too underrated
@@-M0LE all of you people who are obsessed with labeling so many things as “underrated,” need to start a cult where you can worship the word “underrated” since you love it so much!
This movie was not as underrated as you you think… despite people calling it a flop, Jim got alot of credit for it. He got $20 million pay for it which was unheard of at that time for a comedic actor. He won 2 MTV movie awards for it. So there were actually quite a few people who liked it. It’s alot more appreciated now than when it was new. Me, Myself and Irene is way more underrated than Cable Guy
Yes, this movie actually was intended to be a dark comedy. Several different references in this movie that probably most young people wouldn't get. Ernie and Chip Douglas are characters from an old 1950s/60s TV series called "My Three Sons". A kind of a sitcom where three sons are being raised by their widowed father. Ernie and Chip were two of the brothers, and Robbie was the oldest brother. "Father Knows Best" was another TV series from that same era, and Ricky Ricardo was Lucille Ball's husband in their 50s/60s sitcom. Great movie reaction guys! ✌💙✌
I’m from uk but understood most of them but not like you said the characters this film was so well written
Larry tate was from bewitched i think
@@andreadeamon6419 - That's right! I knew I was forgetting one. Thanks!
This movie totally had the same feel that "So I Married An Axe Murderer" gave me. Also a good movie yall should check out. My favorite part was the nipple against the glass scene. Thanks for the hilarious reactions. Burn bright and shine on broskis 🎩
It was a take on a famous scene from the 1978 film Midnight Express.
@Void Von Vintage
YES!! And that is yet ANOTHER great classic!!! I’m not kidding- it’s like Sputnik😉😂🤣
IF ya want mah body AND ya think I’m sexeh….
We have a piper down!!!
I repeat!! A piper is down!!!
When the spider crawls across Jim's face and he doesn't flinch. Perfection.👌
The nightmare scene terrified me as a kid with him running to the door
It was HILARIOUS! 😂 NOT FOR KIDS I GUESS
I had a happy childhood. My dad used to put me in tires and roll me down hills. Those were Goodyears.
I see what you did there.
Tyres
@@-M0LE yeah well, I copied and pasted😁and tires are spelled tires in the States
Absolutely love Jim Carrey and he will forever be a legend to me. He made me laugh so much during my childhood and he's an awesome dude in real life. I loved this movie when it released. Thanks for viewing it guys!
I was like oh no, they’re too young to get the Chip Douglas/Larry Tate references! But you guys are awesome! This reaction was hysterical! Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
That's my favorite Jim Carrey movie. And I love all his movies for the most part. I also am not a huge fan of horror. But dark comedys usually rank high on my list.
AS A 90s TEEN I PROBABLY SAW THIS 100 TIMES. ALWAYS ON CABLE IT WAS.
PRETTY HILARIOUS
The Star Trek fight is a classic! With Jim Carrey mimicking the song! hahahahah
The White Shadow was a 70's basketball TV show.
This is such an underrated movie. So glad you are reacting to this
Nope, it's completely idiotic as a story... i.e. THERE IS NO STORY!!!
@@billstephens396 It’s a fun movie
@@billstephens396 the story is about a loner crazy guy cableguy (jim carrey) and how he wa raised on T.V and has no friends and tries to force matthew broderick to be his friend
@@frozengamer3030 The Number 23 is a fun movie... The Cable Guy is an annoying one...
Opinions are fun.
This movie was underrated in its time compared to other Jim Carrey movies then but also very loved by the ones who did
The boss at the beginning was on his ass because he knows about the separation. Guys tend to get depressed and in a funk - so naturally his boss thought he might not be up to the job or thought he might not get it done. He wasn't being an ass in context he just comes off like one.
He just wanted to make sure he was emotionally and mentally able to handle the job.
Wholly unappreciated Jim Carrey vehicle.
Love, love, love this movie 😌🙏
The scene where Jim Carrey presses his chest up and calls out for Billy is from a scene from one of my favorite movies ever “Midnight Express”(1978) massive hit, great soundtrack🔥
White Shadow was a short lived tv show in the late 70s or early 80s about a basketball coach coaching a bunch of misfits. One of them was named Salami.
This was Owen Wilson’s second movie (Bottle Rocket- which he co-wrote with Wes Anderson- was his first). It’s what started Ben Stiller (the director) and his long series of collaborations and co-starrings. And Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow met and got together on the set (he was the producer) and have been together ever since.
11:50 Those glass basketball backboards actually shatter really easily. They are built with safety glass to avoid injury. They are not designed to hold a person's weight. That's why we were always instructed to never hold or hang on the rim. If you want to dunk, do it quickly then let go. Otherwise this happens. I've seen it IRL. xD
Not early at all I love everything about the dude 😎 best comedy ever!!!! Miss the 90s 😢
Great reaction. Not sure if anyone ever mentioned this but the "hello Clarise" line at Medieval Times was ad libed by Carrey. If you look at Broadrick's face, you can see him trying not to crack up.
Possibly my favorite Jim Carrey movie. I love it. Great reaction, guys!
Great reaction fellas! I think this movie is a masterpiece! It sucks people weren’t ready to see a dark comedy from Jim Carey. This is one of his best pieces of work
This is absolutely my favourite Jim Carrey's movie ever! Just amazing!
I enjoyed watching you guys, nice Berserk cap!
If I was working for a news network and had to both hear and see "Bathroom Beating" as a headline... I'd laugh til I collapse 🤣

This is in my top three Jim Carrey movies. So quotable and hilarious. Good to see an early performance by Jack Black and brief appearance by Bob Odenkirk. Kinda wish they would of done a sequel.
A ton of little sightings - David Cross, Owen Wilson, J. Garofolo, Kathy Griffin, etc
This movie is so ahead of its time. That bit at the end where he says his real name is Ricky Ricardo is surprisingly sad.
I love this one.
The entire Medieval Times part is so hilarious🤣🤣
“A kings thirst for a frosty brew” is part of my vocabulary lol
That actress pulled the perfect impression
20:34 "It was my treat..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
You guys are awesome :) I'm 40 and this is a classic for me :) Love your reactions :)
I was waiting for a while that someone will break the ice and react to this movie. I'm glad you guys were the first. Another movie Jim Carrey plays a dark role in is "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events". Hope you'll be the first to react to this one also.
About time someone actually reacted to this movie because it was very well directed, created and acted. Chip Douglas was a character on a TV show called My Three Sons, Larry Tate was the boss of Darren Stevens on a show called Bewitched starring Elizabeth Montgomery. The cable guy was a conglomeration of many TV and or movie personas and had no personality of his own. He did however have a psychotic trait that could be lethal if you crossed him and a good heart if you became his friend.
If you want to see more of a young Jack Black there's also Waterworld, Demolition Man and The Jackal.
And his tiny part in bio dome
I think this is my favourite video of yours. I've watched it heaps of times and I love the way you guys react, especially when the cable guy knocks on the door right after Steven calls him and when he is wearing his hilarious disguise before the bathroom beating.
Have you seen Fat Pizza? It's a ridiculous and hilarious movie and I think you'd enjoy it. Regards from Australia!
I feel like they REALLY wanted this movie to be a dark comedy, but Jim Carrey's "funny man" public image had them tone down the finale a LOT. I can see the movie they WANTED to make, but they fumble the end a bit. People weren't ready for scary Jim Carrey yet.
This is one of my all-time favorite movies😂
The guy who said what’s wrong with you man, is better call Saul
Ernie/Chip Douglas is a character in an old TV show named My Three Sons and Larry Tate was a character from the show Bewitched.
And the blue sweater and tie "Chip" is wearing when he's at the girlfriend's family home is totally the outfit that Fred MacMurray used to wear as the dad on that show if I recall.
I loved this film as a teen.
I never understood why so many hated it.
He had done so many comedies people just didn't want to see him do anything else.
He did a film titied the majestic that I also loved.
Have you seen 23?
@@greg4052 I have yes, it's really confusing and led me down a numberology rabbit hole
My actual birthday is 2/23 and the number 23 comes up so much in my life
Remember going cinema around these times to watch this, ace Ventura 2, the mask and others. Fun watch
So glad you guys watched this one, Cable Guy is probably my favorite Jim Carrey movie, so underrated.
Insist see a comment on this so Ill add: Ricky Ricardo was a character in an old tv show "I Love Lucy" This was before my time but the names been references in other films (like Rat Race). I was expecting a full comedy so this movie was jarring but I appreciate it more now. I particularly loved how he was singing his "own" soundtrack lol!
You can see Matthew Broderick trying SOOOOO hard not to laugh at several times in this movie, even during close-ups between them! It's like they couldn't get a single take of him not on the verge of breaking. So hilarious! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Almost all of Jim Carey's line in this movie are quips from films and TV shows. Ernie "Chip" douglas was from "My Three Sons", for example. Larry Tate is from Bewitched.
16:34 sounds just like “my leg guy” off of SpongeBob 😂
23:48 I must’ve seen this movie a thousand times. The one liners still slay.😂
Jim and matt were awesomely cast in this movie very underrated dark comedy
This is now one of my favorite jim carrey movies 😂😂😂📺 🔌 ⚡
Hey, that was great advice, don't worry about how long it's taking, just enjoy the one you're with.
Check out Bill Paxton in "The Vagant," another underrated dark comedy.
I love this movie!
Jim Carrey was my crush as a child.
Mine as well. And still is.
5:53 guy only one laughing is the wheelchair man from scary movie lol
Love the editing. Great job guys keep it up 👍
This is one of my favorite jim carrey movies
6:29 boss had to make sure Steve’s head was in the game before making the investment. 24:06 WTH was that 😂
Y’all gotta keep doing these edits. These are just easier to follow and don’t have those awkward silences
The performance of Jim Carrey in that one is a master piece......
My top 3 : 1/ me myself and irene , 2/ the cable guy , 3/ the truman show
This movie was ahead of it's time
Definitely! He predicted online gaming and shopping.
The cable guy was a master of manipulation. Dude turned Steven's entire family against him in one night. When I was 4 I didn't understand. But now in my 30s I'm very impressed by how he did it.
Too bad Jim Carrey didn't portray The joker.
He would be perfect. This would be proof that
Jim could pull off criminally insane.
Either this or The Truman Show is my favourite Jim Carrey movie, and I'm leaning towards this since it's so criminally underrated. The Medieval Times / Star Trek fight alone makes it a Classic.
Owen Wilson dies in every movie he plays in. Here, he's beaten to death by the cable guy. In Anaconda, a snake eats him. In The Haunting, he gets his head knocked off. In Night at the Museum, he drowns in the sands of an hourglass.
After dumb n dumber cable guy is Jim’s best movie and it’s my favorite

Wow , Great suggestion !!!!

Every time I watch the Bathroom Beatdown scene, it seems like Owen Wilson was struggling the entire time trying not to laugh.
Loved this movie back in the day
The snapping of the fingers was supposed to be from West Side Story.
The chicken skin part was improvised by Jim Carrey 😂 He's really great at improve 🙂
Let's Go!!! More Jim! More Comedy! A NEW SHIRT?!?! You guys are killing it! Here's to 100K Subs this year boys!!!
This comment legit made me so excited when reading it 😅and ditto! 🙌🏻🙋🏻♀️
Anyone else have a splitter thing back in the day? Didn't pay for a single WWF or WCW PPV in years lol
Remember seeing this movie as a kid and thought I was hilarious
You guys have to watch Tropic Thunder. It is absolutely hilarious. Will have you rolling. Ben Stiller stars in that one.
The cable guy is Jim carreys best movie bc it’s surprising
This movie is a classic!! Jim Carrey is one of the best actors ever
Emotional manipulation can be extremely scary and confusing. Imagine having your whole family think you’re crazy because somebody is manipulating yourself and your family into thinking that way. It may sound far fetched but it’s very real.
yeah, the sequence of events looks very reasonable.
