The Unnatural Act

In 1991, Jim Carrey was back live on stage in a one-hour Showtime special, called the Jim Carrey Unnatural Act Comedy Special. The show was featuring a different Jim Carrey, who changed his style of humor. Impressions of Jim were featuring Frankenstein, a guy who's running in slow motion, a crazy dude who wants to eat his own neck, and a lot more. We also saw Jim saying: "I'd like to go a way back now" and he fell on the floor! Before the Showtime special was aired, in November, Jim's mother, Kay, passed away. Jim dedicated his Jim Carrey Unnatural Act Comedy Special to the memory of Kathleen Carrey, a.k.a. Mommsie.

Jim's Liners From The Act:

SAY NO TO DRUGS- I couldn't be doing this and doing drugs. No thank you. Besides, drugs can't do this. Only reality can.

MENTAL ILLNESS- Madness is never that far away - it's only as close as saying 'yes' to the wrong impulse. Luckily, each of us has that voice inside our heads that says, 'Uh-uh-uh! Turning the car into on coming traffic. . .is counter-productive!' Imagine if we didn't have that voice. I wouldn't be here right now. I'd be in the shark tank at Sea World.

Saturday Night Live

Jim Carrey's Opening Monolouge:

Our worlds are similar, yet different. Where I come from, minimum wage is 20 millions dollars. Just wait a second, please. I came on this stage in order to make you laugh, and there's this guy in the front row with a stoned face! He didn't even smile. Hey what's the problem? Buddy!
