Line 70:
** Type IV: The Mask and Dick.
** Type V: Hank.
* [[Smite Me, OhO Mighty Smiter!]]: He's was the one who said it in [[Bruce Almighty|the movie]] that is the [[Trope Namer]]. [[The Truman Show|Twice.]]
* [[Stand Up Comedy]]
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Ace Ventura. And as luck would have it, immediately followed by the Mask and Lloyd.
** The first actor to headline three #1-opening movies in one year.{{verify}} And he did it in his first three movies as a mainstream film actor. How about Star Making ''Year''?
* [[Sweet Dreams Fuel]]: His movies can put you in a good mood really quick.
* [[Trickster Archetype]]: Characters who qualify as this include Ace Ventura, the Mask, the Riddler, Andy Kaufman, and the Grinch. [[Word of God]] even said that the Frankie from ''[[One Piece]]'' is based on him.
Line 79:
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** Carrey was originally supposed to be a cast member on ''Saturday Night Live'' when the original cast left in 1980 and Jean Doumanian was hired to create a new "Not Ready for Primetime" cast for the sixth season. Considering how terrible the 1980-1981 season was and how most of the cast has faded into obscurity, it was probably a good thing he wasn't picked.
** The [[WachowskiThe BrothersWachowskis]] wanted him to play [[Plastic Man]] in the never-made film based on their script. Which, even if the script was kinda crappy, would STILL''still'' have been epic.
** He almost didn't do ''[[Ace Ventura]]'' because he didn't care for the script. He only said yes after they allowed him to work on the script.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: He caused a Twitter backlash in 2015 when he used a child's photo ''without permission'' to promote the belief that vaccines cause autism (a belief which is unsupported by medical consensus). It doesn't appear to have hurt his career, though.
