Before I found this video, I was thinking the exact same thing, that Jim Carrey's mannerisms are reminiscent to Max Headroom's. There's definitely a similarity.

No: Max Hedroom was played by Matt Frewer, who can now be seen on Sci-Fi channel's 'Eureka'. Max was big 20 years ago or so.

they sound exactly the same, I'm just wondering if Carey did the voice for max headroom and that's why it seems like he stole or some shit, I'm going to look into that though.

Max rules beyond belief. And I don't really care if Carey stole or borrowed from him, he's funny to me regardless just as Max is to.

You know, watching this video made me go back to see some of Carrey's stuff........ and..... no.Maybe inspired.Carrey kind of does full body expressions, the kind you don't see here (only seen this guy in Max Headroom though). And the manic roles are only in the old movies, live he's more mellow and relies a lot on characters as a regular comedian.

What do you mean 'borrowed' it? He stole it. Carrey is just a 'no-talent', face-pulling jackass that's made millions acting like a retarded cunt.

Max is just so far ahead of his time. He just fucks with people totally. He is the total anti interview, it's fantastic. Even John Lydon couldn't be this disjointed. Beautiful stuff.

Just thought i'd add this information, if Jim Carrey was even just amused at Max Headroom, at least he did not steal the idea. George Stone wrote the original idea of MaxHeadroom Not Rocky Morton or Annabel Jankel. It was a short film 1 hour long, you can say this is actually George Stones mind talking. Fact!

Trying to keep an open mind about Carrey. Just hate to think he borrowed from someone else, but...it's there.Bill Murray's always been too casual like he's on quaaludes. Never seen him do a HIGH!!! energy, manic role.Dave was obviously tickled by Max. Most of the audience was dead during the bit. |
