Line 1: {{work}} [[File:dumb_and_dumber_2328.jpg\|~~frame~~thumb\|300px]] '''''Dumb and Dumber''''' is a 1994 film starring Jeff Daniels and [[Jim Carrey]], directed by the Farrelly Brothers. Lloyd Christmas is a friendly, though somewhat sadistic and ''more'' than somewhat dimwitted, limo driver who lives with his [[Heterosexual Life Partner]], Harry, in their Rhode Island apartment. Lloyd's life is turned around when he falls in love with Mary Swanson (Lauren Holly), a rich female client who leaves her suitcase at the airport. Lloyd talks Harry into going on a road trip to Colorado to return it.

Line 18: * [[Brick Joke]]: The woman that Harry offends at the gas station shows up later in the film {{spoiler\|and reveals herself to be a FBI agent}}. The blind kid Lloyd sold the dead bird to appeared in tears in a news report on TV much later in the film. {{quote\| '''Mary''': "Who are these sick people?"}} In one of the alternate endings, the blind kid-dead parakeet joke would have been taken even further: {{spoiler\|in this ending it turns out that the blind kid is the nephew of Lloyd and Harry's butler at the hotel in Aspen [[It Got Worse\|and Lloyd and Harry were asked to babysit him.]]}} * [[Butt Monkey]]: Oh so many. Mental, Sea Bass, the blind kid, and Harry and Lloyd themselves. Line 36: * [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: "You don't kill people you don't know. That's a rule!" * [[Evil Laugh]]: Lloyd's sadistic laugh after exacting revenge on Harry. * [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: Some people have found that, rather than being funny, the movie is just... dumb. * [[Extreme Doormat]]: Harry. Throughout the movie, he comes off as a little smarter and more sensible than Lloyd but for the most part goes along with everything Lloyd does partly because he's just very passive. * [[Fan Service]]: Mary during Lloyd's dream sequence. Line 44: * [[Hey, It's That Guy!\|Hey, It's That Girl!]]: Mary's stepmom is [[Young Frankenstein\|Inga]]. * [[Hilarity Ensues]] * [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler\|Mental dies after accidentally taking rat poison pills that he intended to spike Harry and Lloyd's drinks with.}} * [[I Ate What?\|I Drank What?]]: The scene where a cop pulls Lloyd and Harry over. He asks for them to give him their "beer", which is actually Lloyd's urine. He drinks it, much to his displeasure after doing so. * [[Imagine Spot]]: Lloyd has two: one while driving, which causes him to almost crash, and one at the end in a faux-[[Twist Ending]], wherein he {{spoiler\|blows away Mary's fiancee}}. Line 51: * [[Indulgent Fantasy Segue]]: Near the end when Lloyd {{spoiler\|imagines killing Mary's husband.}} * [[I Like Those Odds]]. Qualifies as sort of a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. {{quote\| '''Lloyd:''' I want to ask you a question... straight out, flat out... and I want you to give me an honest answer. What do you think the chances of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together? ~~<br />~~ '''Mary:''' Well Lloyd... that's difficult to say... you really don't... ~~<br />~~ '''Lloyd:''' Hit me! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances? ~~<br />~~ '''Mary:''' Not good. ~~<br />~~ '''Lloyd:''' ''(gulping)'' You mean, not good like one out of a hundred? ~~<br />~~ '''Mary:''' I'd say more like... one out of a million. ~~<br />~~ '''Lloyd:''' ''([[Beat]], then grins happily)'' So you're telling me there's a ''chance''. }} * [[Jerkass]]: Both are stone stupid, but while Harry is well meaning and even kind in his own bumbling way, Lloyd comes off as rather sadistic and highly mean-spirited, and not always obliviously. Line 67: ** How about the look on Lloyd's face when {{spoiler\|Harry told him that he thinks his ex-girlfriend Freda was seeing another guy...}} * [[Perverse Sexual Lust]] * [[A Plague Onon Both Your Houses]]: The duo accidentally poisons a hitman chasing them, and he dies screaming "You... son of a bitch!" And Harry gets sad. * [[Pop Star Composer]]: Todd Rundgren. * [[Potty Emergency]]: Happens twice. Once to Lloyd, which leads to the "[[I Ate What?\|I drank what?]]" incident, and again with Harry, when Lloyd spikes his drink with laxative. Line 73: * [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Arguably, Lloyd. * [[Rags to Riches]]: Harry and Lloyd go from a couple of unemployed losers to high-society snobs after finding out what's in Mary's briefcase. * [[Double Standard Rape (Male Onon Male)]] * [[Rule of Funny]]: The ''whole'' film. * [[Road Movie]] * [[Sexual Karma]]: Averted. * [[Shout-Out]]: The protagonists Harry and Lloyd are named after silent film star Harold Lloyd. * [[Stalker ~~With~~with a Crush]]: Lloyd to Mary. * [[Stealth Pun]]: Lloyd's last name is Christmas. If he and Mary got married, her name would be [[Punny Name\|Mary Christmas]]. The [[Unrated Edition\|unrated version]] explains the joke. * [[Toilet Humor]]: So many times it borders on [[Refuge in Vulgarity]], one of which actually involves a (broken) toilet. * [[Tongue Onon the Flagpole]]: [[What an Idiot!\|"Oh, look, frost."]] * [[Trailer Spoof]]: The trailer for ''Dumb and Dumberer'' disguised itself as a trailer for ''[[The Hobbit]]'', leaving every member of the audience sorely pissed. * [[Written in-In Infirmity]]: Jim Carrey chipped one of his teeth prior to production and wore a cap on it to cover it up. However, he removed it when playing Lloyd because he thought it made his character look more deranged. ** He actually chipped it before he even became an actor, and just wore a cap for every role but this one. * [[You Answered Your Own Question]]: {{quote\| '''Harry:''' Freda and I had such a wonderful time. But right after the blue, she send me a John Dear letter.~~<br />~~ '''Lloyd:''' Did she give you any reason?~~<br />~~ '''Harry:''' Yeah I called her up. She gave a bunch of crap about not me listening to her or something... I don't know I wasn't paying attention. }} {{reflist}} ~~[[Category:Saturday Morning Cartoon]]~~ [[Category:Buddy Picture]] [[Category:Films of the 1990s]] [[Category:Dumb and Dumber]] [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Multiple Works Need Separate Pages]] [[Category:Notable Quotables]]
