00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the funniest instances

00:10of Jim Carrey making fellow cast members laugh on set.

00:20Number 10.

00:21The Fart, The Cable Guy Jim Carrey plays the title character in the

00:25movie The Cable Guy, a man who gets a little too involved in the life of a customer played

00:29by Matthew Broderick.

00:43And let's just say he doesn't always limit himself to the confines of societal norms.

00:47Oddly enough, during the filming of one scene with Broderick, Carrey did something that

00:51would align with The Cable Guy's eccentric, socially awkward personality.

00:58After he let loose while leaning in to get closer to Broderick, his co-star just couldn't

01:01keep it together.

01:03And how could you blame him?

01:10Number 9.

01:11The Neck Bite, Sonic the Hedgehog Jim Carrey let his quirkiness shine during the

01:14production of Sonic the Hedgehog.

01:16Playing the evil Dr. Robotnik, Carrey was just having fun with it when he jokingly pretended

01:20to bite co-star James Marston's neck.

01:25You can hear the laughs permeating in the background.

01:28Carrey showed here that even when portraying a villain, he brought a lighthearted energy

01:32to the set.

01:34Also, it really seems like you never know what you're gonna get if you're on set

01:40with Carrey.

01:41Well, we suppose you can say excellence, that's for sure.

01:44The unpredictable humorous moments are bonuses.

01:59Number 8.

02:00Tongue Out, I Love You Philip Morris Jim Carrey is a master of facial expressions.

02:06Sometimes those expressions come unexpectedly, such as in I Love You Philip Morris, a film

02:11in which Carrey portrays a con artist.

02:19Co-star Rodrigo Santoro experienced this firsthand when Carrey suddenly put his tongue out in

02:24a whimsical manner during the shooting of a restaurant scene.

02:26It was subtle, but if you were sitting as closely to Carrey as Santoro was, how could

02:30you not break?

02:37The fact that Santoro was in the middle of delivering his line when Carrey interrupted

02:41him in this way is pretty darn funny.

02:43It certainly knocked Santoro off track.

02:46Carrey's ensuing reaction was hilarious as well.

02:57Number 7.

02:58The Chair Spin, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

03:01Joel Barish, an introverted vulnerable character, was a unique character for Jim Carrey to play.

03:21With it being a relatively subdued and serious role, the actor showed his versatility with

03:25his performance.

03:34But during filming of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Carrey couldn't help but

03:38infuse a bit of his comedy onto the set.

03:40He looked laser-focused at the beginning of this bookstore scene.

03:44But things took a turn, or spin you could say, after he approached co-star Elijah Wood,

03:48who was sitting in a swivel chair.

03:57Right by him was Kate Winslet, who uncontrollably burst out laughing after Carrey spun Wood

04:02around.

04:03Number 6.

04:04One More What and You'll Be a Lightbulb, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

04:08Playing a street magician in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Jim Carrey cast a comedic

04:12spell on his co-stars during the filming of this scene.

04:15After everyone but Carrey said what in unison, the next words that came out of Carrey's mouth

04:19were head-scratching.

04:26Carrey used the same line to make co-star Jeff Daniels break during filming of Dumb

04:30and Dumber 2.

04:39But we're choosing the one that happened first.

04:41Steve Carell in particular couldn't keep it together at this moment.

04:44Carrey just kept going with his comedic magic, and Steve Buscemi joined in on the uncontainable

04:49laughter.

04:50Carell had a point.

04:51How could they continue filming the scene without laughing?

04:54How did they?

04:55Perhaps they needed a take 5.

05:00Number 5.

05:01The Trumania Drawing, The Truman Show With on-set improvisation comes surprise for

05:06the rest of the cast.

05:07The scene in the movie The Truman Show in which Carrey draws on the mirror with a bar

05:11of soap is an example of that.

05:29Who would even think about doing what Carrey did in this scene, let alone actually do it?

05:33It certainly caught others on-set off-guard.

05:36During the filming of this scene, it probably wasn't exclusively the drawing, but also

05:40the noises that evoked laughter and amusement from his peers.

05:55Plus the unexpected nature of what Carrey did in this moment surely contributed to that

05:59reaction as well.

06:05Number 4.

06:06The Kiss, Fun with Dick and Jane During filming of a house robbery scene in

06:10Fun with Dick and Jane, Jim Carrey did something that you wouldn't typically associate with

06:14robber behavior.

06:15With his robotic aura emanating from his voice and outfit, he completely caught Jeff Garland

06:20by surprise by kissing him on the lips.

06:41This precipitated a whirlwind of laughter from fellow cast members, including Garland.

06:45Carrey himself cracked up as well.

06:53Even assuming his co-workers had already known how unpredictable Carrey could be, who would

06:57have seen that coming?

06:59It also makes us wonder, was this a true heat-of-the-moment decision by Carrey?

07:18Number 3.

07:19Sounds Delicious, Bruce Almighty Vampire Jim Carrey made an appearance during

07:35the production of the movie Bruce Almighty.

07:37While filming a car scene in which Jennifer Aniston shares her blood type, Carrey jumped

07:41at the opportunity to lighten things up on set.

07:44The sounds delicious response in that context was too funny for Aniston not to laugh.

07:56And to top things off, the title character pretended to go in for the neck bite Dracula

08:00style.

08:01Carrey seemingly had plenty of fun on set, even making Morgan Freeman laugh on more than

08:06one occasion.

08:09We're going with the Aniston interaction though because it's funnier.

08:25After watching it and considering his acting resume, we could definitely see Jim Carrey

08:29as a suitable choice for a vampire role.

08:32Number 2.

08:33Prosthetic Nose, How The Grinch Stole Christmas

08:47Whoville citizens have a distinctive look.

08:49With that comes plenty of hair, makeup and prosthetics work.

08:53It turns out with Jim Carrey on set, his co-star's well-designed appearances could be altered

08:58in the blink of an eye.

08:59Jeffrey Tambor found that out for himself when Carrey, in his Grinch costume, bit off

09:03his elastic prosthetic nose and spit it out.

09:15This provided a moment of humor for everyone on set.

09:17Tambor felt his nose for a few seconds as he attempted to process what just happened.

09:21That's right, you're gonna need a new nose.

09:49Courts in Session, Liar Liar

09:51Jim Carrey's character in the movie Liar Liar is a lawyer who is incapable of lying

09:55for an entire day.

09:57And the truth is, it can be hard not to laugh while in the same room as Carrey.

10:07The actor showed that on numerous occasions, including when he made a paper goose during

10:11filming of the courtroom scene in Liar Liar.

10:13That was indeed funny.

10:21But our preferred choice here occurred when he was sitting down next to his co-star Jennifer

10:25Tilly.

10:26Carrey made cast members crack up by talking with a metal pitcher and pretending to pee

10:30in it.

10:35Despite being in a setting that represents seriousness and order, Carrey turned it into

10:40a comedy show.

10:41Let us know in the comments which of these Jim Carrey moments you found the funniest.
