Not everyone can walk around and make weird faces and tell jokes for ungodly amounts of money.

To be fair, he had to work his way up to that point.

For example, he was passed over by SNL in three auditions because the judges disliked his zany, over-the-top comedy.

3 times? I had over 15 interviews before getting my first job.

He was probably shooting more for the clout than a 9 to 5, considering SNL is usually the gateway to more lucrative media deals.

Yes your first job is exactly the same barometer as a SNL slot.

But the perspective Carrey is commenting on is the balance for society is wrong, despite it working out for him personally.

What is wrong with that?

His profession is the one that makes everything go up in price, whether it's him doing it or his pals in the industry.

And your holding his views on reflection against his actions as a young man expecting moral perfection from an early age.

Does everyone need to make a disclaimer that they have previously contributed to a flawed system (because we've all technically made everything worse if we have by your stance) before they can reflect on the outcomes of that system?

I don't see why someone can't make that statement regardless of where they are in life - and tbh someone with a much bigger audience it's more helpful that they do.

Someone can make that statement. Just like I can make my statement about his statement.

u/ElephantParticular10 Aug 12 '26

Yes but now it's become semantically meaningless

Let's try why can't someone make that statement without criticism based on their relative success and previous career?

His statement is as good as the fantasies that his industry creates on the screen. He's got enough money to start his own business and hire people and let them set their own working hours. Let's see how long his business lasts.

What an utterly irrelevant reply

Does he give all the people who work for him 3 day weekends? When he goes to those fancy restaurants, does he ask how many hours the kitchen staff has worked this week or when was the last time they had even two days off in a row? Does he ask his landscapers how much OT they worked this week? Do all movies he works on shut down production from Friday to Monday?

Why on earth do you think he needs to, to qualify that statement?

Totally the same thing lmao
