Jim Carrey has a boatload of quotable onscreen moments under his belt, and he resurrected a few of them on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Wednesday night. The 58-year-old comedic genius, who stars in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film, was challenged by Colbert to reprise three of his most iconic roles and give them a more serious, dramatic spin. The results were seriously hysterical, as the actor performed lines from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective ("Do NOT go in there — phew!"), Dumb and Dumber ("So you're tellin' me there's a chance"), and The Mask ("Somebody stop me!") in the most theatrical ways possible. We've gotta hand it to him: he really knows how to give 110 percent. Take a walk down memory lane and watch the funny segment unfold above.
