This Friday, Dumb and Dumber To opens in theaters nationwide, with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels reprising their original roles as, respectively, Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne. Not only was the 1994 film a tentpole for Carrey (fresh off of box office success from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and The Mask), but it launched the career for the Farrelly Brothers, who went on to produce other comedic greatness like Kingpin, Shallow Hal, and, of course, There’s Something About Mary.
While reaction to the Dumb and Dumber To trailers has been mixed, nothing can take away the dimwitted, raunchy charm of the first Dumb and Dumber, whose gags ironically reeked of brilliance. To commemorate the two decades of time that have elapsed between the movies, we compiled 20 of the best scenes from the original for you to enjoy once again.
