makes you laugh even when you know you shouldn't, or don't want to...to the point that it bothers you! A master of guaranteed-to-make-you-laugh comedy; that is to say his delivery is so good it almost doesn't matter what he says, you will laugh, and that make me, for one, feel like Hollywood's puppet!

just so charismatic! His laugh and smile and fast, under-the-radar, banter/trash talk/wit (even if it is written for him) make him a force of comedy. Hes the funny guy we all want to be...hes not the object of humor but is always aware of the humor around him and know how to punch the funny bone while pointing it out.

watch old "in living color" sketches with then James Carrey...funnier than anything created by snl in the last 15 years. Dumb and Dumber the ace ventura movies, the mask, liar liar, me, myself and irene; are all lame without Jim and %100 pure platinum classics with him! Jim can make anything funny when he wants to. Untouchable when at his best!
