I consider myself old, but I’m not remembering this movie. What was this from?
Do NOT go in there
I was unaware that the Wachutis were biters!
Oh right, those. I’m so old I thought those were stupid and never watched them.
The important thing is that you found a way to feel superior
lol even younger me was a bit of a movie snob. Now I’m even worse about it.
They are stupid but Jim Carry nails the role and it's objectively funny. Definitely worth watching both of them.
They are among the stupidest movies ever created without a doubt. And I absolutely adore them 😄
They absolutely are stupid and it's not to late to behold the stupidity
Ah, OK. I was too adult to care about Ace Ventura back then.
I saw this scene at 11 years old and I didn't stop laughing for 15 minutes.
I don't remember noticing how obviously fake that rhinoceros was when I was a kid
I do, but that may be because iirc it was fake in cannon. It's been a long time but as I recall he built the rhino as a sort of hunting blind, I don't remember why well but I think it was to observe/photo animals.
He was following around one of the main villain's henchmen to see what he was up to.
Thank you! That was it! It was bugging me lol.
It was to spy on the guy who was suspected of... Doing something. It's been a while
He stole a white bat to halt a tribal marriage and then force a war between the tribes. Thus allowing an English company he owns to exploit the conflict to steal the guano trade for profit.
Well I was a pretty dumb kid 🤷♂️
crt tvs may have played a part in that
Dumb shit but fun shit.
Getting kinda hot in these rhinos...
Say what you will about those stupid movies, I miss them...
Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker, Mel Brooks, the early Jim Carrey comedies, Police Academy...
I just miss silly spoof movies.
I feel like those " (genre) Movie" films were such weak throwaways and the silly parody movie quietly just died shortly after. Especially when everything wanted to be an "adult comedy" or a "dramedy" (ughh!)
You don't really see that fun absurdist trope-poking humor of Kung Pow!, Airplane, Monty Python, or Austin Powers, anymore. Spy movie spoofs were such a great time. :)
A TV show called Angie Tribeca did this SO WELL. It was such a great cop show parody full of silly wordplay and puns and unbelievably ridiculous scenarios.
I miss movies like Scary Movie. You'll never see anything like that ever again.

I just had the disturbing realization that someone is into this shit.
And that started with this. How many rhinoceros furries exist now because of it?
By my Google image results, I'd say there's a few!
I'm surprised I didn't rupture my spleen when I saw that.
It was in a cinema, too, if you remember what those were.
I couldn't breathe, and I was all but a puddle on the sticky floor, laughing my adult ass off.
Same same. One of the funniest scenes in a movie that I can recall.
That scene was about as hard as I've ever laughed. Must have had it on VCR because it was the 90s. Scared to revisit it because I couldn't possibly laugh that hard a second time.
To this day, I've never laughed harder than I did when I first saw this scene. My cheeks and abs cramped up, my back started to hurt, my lungs damn near collapsed from laughing so hard.
Thankfully, I don't think I'll ever laugh that hard for as long as I live, because I think there might be a good chance I could actually die of laughter.
Jim Carrey is the GOAT

It is wholesome. A family in the film even stops to watch the miracle of life.
Unfortunately, the transphobia in the prequel is less wholesome.
Ah hell I'd glossed over that in my mind. Thanks for the reminder.
There’s nothing inherently wholesome or obscene about the cycle of death and rebirth. It simply is. 🧘
Only way you'd see that today is if impractical jokers did a movie
It's hilarious the you're simultaneously (and incorrectly) claiming "movies these days" are too PC for this, and yet the "edgiest" comedians you can come up with are a group of middle-aged dad's doing the most pg "pranks" ever.
I don't think they were claiming it was "too PC" so much as just movie industry trends. Like executives don't see money in stupid-funny comedies these days maybe? I do wonder myself at the reason why.
Impractical Jokers do be funny guys though. :D
