Comedy Techniques in Dumb and Dumber

One of my favorite comedy films is Dumb and Dumber. The movie is about a limo driver and his best friend, driving across the country to return a briefcase to a woman who had left it behind at the airport. And while driving along, run into and cause many outrageous mishaps. Many theories are present in this movie. You see the disparagement or aggression theories along with the superiority theory. Dumb and Dumber is written …

…movie when Lloyd still drove limos, he unknowingly caused a wreck driving through a red light. In the background you see and hear the wreck and huge explosion. Dumb and Dumber was a great movie to apply the comedy theory to. It demonstrated these theories vividly and well. It is quite easy to point out these theories and elements of comedy. The great actors and comedy techniques made the best comedy of this past decade.
