Happy Throwback Thursday!
When we throw things back on Thursdays, we occasionally need to ensure that we do so to things that will make us laugh now as much as we did, well, back then. Of all the blooper reels I’ve seen, this remains one of the classics. Not only is the 1997 film Liar Liar fantastic, but it’s outtakes with one of the funniest people alive in Jim Carrey is the exit to a highway of pure hilarity and unrestricted creativity.
Ladies and gentlemen, let’s go back to the ’90s for a couple minutes:
Funny Funny!
Going Back to a Time When the Beer Flowed Like Wine
While the first two days of this week have been geared towards the kickoff of the 2014 World Cup (pardon the pun, but it totally works) this Thursday afternoon, today’s post will take a slight detour. Before predictions are made for both teams and players in Brazil tomorrow, Jimmy’s Daily Planet has to show a specific video for a specific sequel starring spectacularly dumb best friends. 20 years have past, yet it feels like just yesterday when blue and orange tuxedos with hats and canes were a fashion staple, a cardigan could be easily mistaken for a pullover and the “IOU” was viewed as an equivalent to cash (“Look, see this, that’s a car: 275 thou-, might want to hang onto that one”).
In this blogger’s view, Dumb and Dumber is the funniest movie ever made. Along with the superb writing that interwove a genuine emotional connection for these two clueless best buds, the casting of Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne resonated far beyond a regular buddy comedy. These two were brilliant together, both comically and as each others’ reliably unreliable lifeline.
What have the Farrelly brothers set-up for Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne 20 years later as middle-aged men?
Like a good burger with just a little extra kick, here’s a taste of some of their modern day shenanigans:
Watching the new trailer is somewhat reminiscent of discovering mind-blowing news for the very first time…
“No way…that’s great. We landed on the Moon!”
It’s kind of like that.
Dumb and Dumber To hits theaters this November!
Happy Monday!
The Memorial Tournament ended yesterday afternoon in exciting fashion: a playoff.
Congratulations to Hideki Matsuyama on his victory!
This past week’s festivities in Dublin, Ohio brought to mind a story from yesteryear that involves the game of golf. It’s a classic tale of two professionals yearning for one of golf’s greatest prizes. In this pursuit, an incredible amount of friction built-up for some fascinating interactions off the green.
You should never underestimate the power of a good rhyme.
Only in golf.
Have a ‘Happy Gilmore’ Kind of Happy Monday!
Happy Throwback Thursday!
Throwback Thursday is a great weekly tradition because it puts people in a good mood right before Friday and the weekend with a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
And on that note, have you ever wondered what some shows that aired in the 2000s would have looked and sounded like if they had debuted during the 1990s?
“You are in luck! There’s a town about 3 miles that way, I’m sure you’ll find a couple of guys there” (bonus points if you can guess that ’90s reference!).
Actually, it’s more like visiting Dwight at his beet farm lucky.
‘That’s what the ’90s said!’
