“We’re Not Criminals, We’re Just Desperate”

“I Was Way Off”

In Dumb and Dumber, Lloyd guesses “Samsonite” as Mary’s last name based solely on a suitcase. When corrected, he utters this gem with clueless humility.

“Good Morning. And In Case I Don’t See Ya—Good Afternoon, Good Evening, And Good Night”

Repeated by Truman Burbank in The Truman Show, this line mirrors politeness and entrapment in a manufactured world. Carrey’s restrained delivery shows how charm and disquiet can coexist within a single, deceptively cheerful phrase.

“I’ve Had Better”

This line cuts through pain with brutal sarcasm in Liar Liar. Carrey uses restraint here, letting the absurdity of the situation shine through without needing a wild voice or face—just sharp comedic understatement.

Paired with the exaggerated L-shaped hand gesture, this single-word insult from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective became an enduring part of 1990s slang. Carrey’s theatrical mockery gave the insult power.

“It’s The Claw”

In Liar Liar, this goofy parenting tactic becomes a running gag. Carrey turns a playful hand into a terrifying “monster,” using voice modulation and exaggerated movements. It resonated with families and became surprisingly quotable.

“We Got No Food. We Got No Jobs Our Pets’ Heads Are Falling Off”

This frantic rant in Dumb and Dumber captures Lloyd’s emotional unraveling in one hilariously absurd escalation. The line’s momentum made it one of the most replayed and quoted from the film, being chaotic and tragically sincere.

“I’m In Psychoville, And Finkle’s The Mayor”

“Wanna Hear The Most Annoying Sound In The World?”

Without waiting for consent, Lloyd releases a scream so piercing it disrupts everything. The line itself sets up the joke, but the real punch comes from Carrey’s committed delivery in Dumb and Dumber.

“It’s Showtime!”

Shouted gleefully in The Mask before chaos erupts, this line serves as a personal curtain call. Though borrowed from Beetlejuice, Carrey’s exaggerated delivery and timing make it his own.

“So You’re Telling Me There’s A Chance”

This line from Dumb and Dumber perfectly captures Lloyd’s blind optimism. After being told his odds with Mary are “one in a million,” Carrey’s character clings to hope with a grin.

“I’m The King Of The World”

In Bruce Almighty, Carrey parodies Jack’s line from Titanic while flaunting divine power. It’s not just a spoof—it’s a pointed nod to pop culture excess.

“Was That Over The Top? I Can Never Tell”

As Edward Nygma in Batman Forever, Carrey delivers this line with theatrical flair after an exaggerated outburst. It’s a meta-moment that blurs the line between character and actor, playfully acknowledging his own eccentric performance style.
