Pretty much sums it up. He was great, and now has just floundered.

Anyone hear his CDs? My mom bought a copy of What the Hell Happened to Me? when I was 12 or so and I remember laughing my ass off. The Cult was my favorite.

Yeah, that's the one I was thinking of.

The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is incredible. Everyone should see it at least once.

Jim Carrey has had a lot of fantastic roles, he just Nic Cage-ed out for several films.

True that. His first two albums were hilarious.

Funny people is probably the most unfunny DVD I've ever wasted 3 quid on. I'll never get that or the time I spent viewing it back.
