ben stiller is really an underrated director. deserves much more credit than he gets. also glad this movie has retroactively found an audience after all these years, I always thought it was also criminally underrated
Heat Vision and Jack, and Tropic Thunder are the only evidence that I need... But anyone who isn't familiar with Heat Vision & Jack, here's the link to the only episode. It was the pilot. th-cam.com/video/6lWgXDOAJ5s/w-d-xo.html Directed by Ben Stiller, written by Dan Harmon and Rob Schrab and staring Jack Black, Owen Wilson, Christine Taylor and Ron Silver.
People expected a full on Jim Carrey comedy but instead got a more darker and sad story. The movie is actually a masterpiece. People didn't really fancy the Trumanshow either, which made Jim Carey joke about people not really knowing what to think about him in drama. But I think people can look back today and go Wow, because these movies are really well made and amazing.
@@karlkarlsson9126 You hit the nail on the head.! People did not want to see Jim playing a creepy character like this! They just wanted to see him as his usual funny self!
@@karlkarlsson9126I never knew it got hate.I am from the UK maybe it was more publicised in America. I think this film is a comedic masterpiece.So many classic lines and just the overall premise is just hilarious lol
I know this wasn't a hit when it came out but when I was a teenager, late 90's to early 00's, everyone loved it. I think it's mostly because Ace Ventura 1 and 2 made us all think anything Jim Carrey did was divine.
This making of, shows me that Jim Carrey made it ;D lol The medieval times, the fighting moves, the great singing, the slam dunk, the playing with food, all his ideas & improvisation ;D. And Ben Stiller as an director captured all of it really well. Matthew played his role great too, believably normal person, yet to experience such an intrusive friend.
Quite possibly my favorite movie of all time.. definitely my favorite comedy movie ever.. it's truly a masterpiece, so well written, very well directed, the acting is so good. You can almost quote every single line in the movie. would love to see a sequel with the entire cast back again, give Jack Black and Ben Stiller larger roles this time
@@xjcrossx Hard to picture Chris Farley being sinister in the way Jim Carrey did, but then again it was probably hard to imagine Jim doing this role before he did, so who knows?
@@xjcrossxI disagree, I know this is gonna hurt your feelings probably… But Chris Farley wasn’t that good, he had his moments when he was funny but that was it… nothing he did outside of SNL was good aside from Tommy Boy. Everything he did after was a flop, his footage of voicing Shrek wasn’t that good. I guarantee you that Shrek would’ve sucked had Farley done it instead of Mike Myers
I could easily see Chris in the role! I could see him entertaining the family by doing enormous belly flops on the floor instead of playing the porno password game, as he did on Saturday Night Live! This might have been an even funnier scene with Chris doing this!😂
This movie was ahead of it's time, dark comedies were not looked upon good, and people didn't like this movie because it was too dark. I saw it in the theater I think I was 15 and it was awesome loved it since I first saw it, and it's Carrey's best movie IMO.
That pick up basketball game really stands out to me as I played until my mid 40's and so many games there was a JIM CARREY like guy who would ruin it for everyone else! The guy who every time he missed a shot would call FOUL and the GUY who had no concept of the PASSING to an open TEAM MATE and the guy who just made a fun day into a day you wished you never showed up to play! hahaha
So many legends are attached to this project, Ben stiller, Judd apatow, Jim Carrey, jack black, Owen wilson, that's not even all of them....the chick from big daddy and knocked up Leslie Mann I think, Mathew Broderick, Andy dick....I mean it's crazy
Seriously a masterpiece. A legit layered performance from Jim that was ultimately hilarious but still disturbing at times. I loved it growing up and still do, I was shocked to hear this was negatively received upon release.
I ran into the Apatow family at a recent charity event, and when I saw Leslie in this video at 16:07, I was amazed thinking how her daughter Iris looks exactly like her. Judd is a lucky man and has done really well for himself.
Saw twice in a row when it came out. It was an outstanding movie that didn't make a lot of money. You can't figure out the public. A Jim Carrey classic if there ever was one.
Where Ben Stiller's genius is real is that he has shot the genius movie Zoolander without the need of Jim Carrey genius.. The Cable Guy had a memorable atmosphere beyond Jim Carrey
When I was a kid I watched this movie, and many times over since then, never understood why people didnt like it. And it was the first time I was introduce to Jefferson airplane.
I have to imagine, at least Jim, Ben, and Matthew went on 'Montezuma's Revenge' while they were shooting in the OC. It wasn't cool at first when they let 'Jaguar' go through the loop but it grew on me. 'Boomerang' is another classic.
That’s because people didn’t know at the time that he was incredibly versatile and talented, and it pisses me off that some people still don’t know that. They still dismiss him as repetitive comedian even though they’ve seen him play different characters in all of his movies 🙄
@@nsasupporter7557 I agree but in a way he'd boxed himself in a corner with the roles he'd taken on. He stretched himeself with serious roles but the media always labelled him as the clown. A bit like Tome Cruise who never got the recognition he deserved for his serious roles either.
@@jasongoodacre yeah, very unfortunate. But really, he’s versatile in all of his comedians too… Ace Ventura is different from the Mask and Dumb and Dumber and Cable Guy and Liar Liar and all of those movies and the characters he plays in them are different from eachother. Like you said, you showed us his versatility even more with his dramatic movies
THE CABLE GUY !!! Everytime I ring at my gf's door yelling those words while I almost continuously ring, she rushes and opens up the door, thinking it's some kind of nightmare. But it's worse than that. It's me.
Even though Im sad that Chris Farley died, the film wouldn't be as good with him, Carrey plays the cable guy perfectly, and turned it in to a dark comedy.
EXACTLY! Chris Farley wasn’t that good in general… that’s why he didn’t have much of a career outside of SNL. All of his diehard fans make him out to be this incredible comedian… he wasn’t. He had his moments when he was funny, that was it. His footage of Shrek wasn’t that good and the movie wouldn’t have been as good if it was him instead of Mike Myers doing Shrek
i didnt know he was the director. however this movie kicks ass. i dunno why it didnt do well. mabey if they edited it diffrently people would have liked it more. people expected more comedy like ace ventura or mask. i wonder how much unused footage there is. .we need a sequel :)
if jimmy is really acting without any used of drugs to let him be like that.like cok or crack or any blood or pumming energy.i just find him amazing.what he do to actin is like a full workout.i bet he is tired everday and sleep soundly cus the way he even act need many energy to act like that faace body and voice you need to pull all up.and i just find him doing that much to act i kinda more respect him
ben stiller is really an underrated director. deserves much more credit than he gets. also glad this movie has retroactively found an audience after all these years, I always thought it was also criminally underrated
And Eric Roberts to
I feel like this movie was fairly popular. It was the 19th highest grossing movie of 1996.
Heat Vision and Jack, and Tropic Thunder are the only evidence that I need...

U an me both lol
@@theyetti90 “19th” , not even in the top 10…. yes it is criminally underrated.
The Cable Guy is a comic masterpiece. Jim Carrey and Matt Broderick are both amazing in it.
Accurate.
RIGHT INTO THE TURNBUCKLE, THATS GOTTA HURT GENE !!!!!
Broderick was garbage in this.
Ohhh!! I always wondered what he said! You are a total rockstar thank you!! 🙏🥳🚀
Like Wilson’s cameo was f****** epic. Salt and peanuts salt and peanuts.
Masterpeice in all its splendor we will never get another Jim Carrey
Don't understand the hate this film got. Ben Stiller is great and this is one of Jim's most underrated movies.
It was just ahead of it's time.
@@jdot714 yep I think so too

Jim Carrey is a serious LEGEND mate!!!
Seriously!!!!!🥰
i LOVE that they filmed Jim Carrey's interview while he was in makeup for his character's absolute meltdown
Ben Stiller is a genius and we need to talk about it more
my favorite Jim Carrey, Mathew B film, and Ben's masterpiece
Love this movie! Remember watching this on HBO. Brilliant.
I saw it with my best friend on opening day, and we were the only ones in the theater. It was an omen.
I know this wasn't a hit when it came out but when I was a teenager, late 90's to early 00's, everyone loved it. I think it's mostly because Ace Ventura 1 and 2 made us all think anything Jim Carrey did was divine.
The best dark comedy movie!
This making of, shows me that Jim Carrey made it ;D lol The medieval times, the fighting moves, the great singing, the slam dunk, the playing with food, all his ideas & improvisation ;D.
And Ben Stiller as an director captured all of it really well. Matthew played his role great too, believably normal person, yet to experience such an intrusive friend.
I’ve always loved this movie since I first saw it in about 1998
This movie is a classic, remember watching this in the theaters, love it!
What a classic. Love this trio.

This is actually the only movie i laughed at so hard I got a stomach ache.
Hard to believe now that Chris Farley was up for consideration to play the Cable Guy. I couldn't see anyone else but Jim Carrey in that role
That would actually be cool to watch a version with Chris Farley.
@@xjcrossx Hard to picture Chris Farley being sinister in the way Jim Carrey did, but then again it was probably hard to imagine Jim doing this role before he did, so who knows?

I fell so old watching this again jim is one of favorite actors i had the soundtrack for this
The porno password scene in this movie is so weirdly wonderful. Jim Carrey is so amazing.
Yes, he is… he’s not just another typical comedian as so many stupid people think. He’s the most amazingly talented entertainer in cinema history
God bless the Wayan Bros and In Living Color.
@@davidweissman4392 Wayans didn’t do Mad Tv, they did In Living Color
My bad you r rite
@@davidweissman4392 all good 😊👍
Yes, they really helped launch his career. It’s funny how he became a bigger star than all of them put together
The most underrated comedy ever! Love this film it’s hilarious

Thank you for this movie Ben, it's amazing
So the medieval times was Jim ‘s idea ?!? Very clever. A good sequence in an uneven comedy
What do you mean uneven comedy?
The Cable Guy is a 90s' comedy classic and best pre The Truman Show Jim Carrey movie.
I'm one of the VERY VERY FEW that saw this at the theatre. My dad and I watched it.
So many legends are attached to this project, Ben stiller, Judd apatow, Jim Carrey, jack black, Owen wilson, that's not even all of them....the chick from big daddy and knocked up Leslie Mann I think, Mathew Broderick, Andy dick....I mean it's crazy
...and two short moments from Janeane Garofalo.
Seriously a masterpiece. A legit layered performance from Jim that was ultimately hilarious but still disturbing at times. I loved it growing up and still do, I was shocked to hear this was negatively received upon release.
It is a unique comedy in cinema, Carrey eats his roles, a legendary actor in the industry.
It's the Cable Guy !! Love it so much.
Jim Carrey ❤️❤️❤️
Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow met on here and now they're married
Thanks for uploading this.
Loveeeed the menendez brothers trial parody
Hard to believe this has been almost 30 years ago
Never knew this documentary existed. Great
If you think about it Jim Carrey was Deadpool before Ryan Renolds in this movie without the mutant powers that is LOL
Not even a comparison
I ran into the Apatow family at a recent charity event, and when I saw Leslie in this video at 16:07, I was amazed thinking how her daughter Iris looks exactly like her. Judd is a lucky man and has done really well for himself.
"This concludes our broadcast day. Click." 👋
An amazing film. I don't understand how it wasn't more popular
Cable Guy: I brought Steven here once and he didn’t give rat’s AAAASSSS!!! 😂
😂😂😂
Brilliant black comèďy jim clarey and Mathew are so funny and talented ,abd Ben Stiller is so dry love his style!!😂
Saw twice in a row when it came out. It was an outstanding movie that didn't make a lot of money. You can't figure out the public. A Jim Carrey classic if there ever was one.
I dont understand why it didnt do well st box office. I have seen this movie over 20x and i still watch it
Because people were jealous of jim and wanted a reason to hate him for 5 seconds. Then they loved him again.
Doesnt matter, BRILLIANT film.
Where Ben Stiller's genius is real is that he has shot the genius movie Zoolander without the need of Jim Carrey genius.. The Cable Guy had a memorable atmosphere beyond Jim Carrey
This movie was brilliant.
Never knew Ben Stiller directed this! Wow! He did a great job!
The Cable Guy is a classic.
Hell yeah!
Me And My Brother Jesse Krajci Were 12 Years Old When 1996's The Cable Guy Was 10 Years Old On 6/14/2006.
GREAT THE MAKING OF THE CABLE GUY (1996 ) FILM !!!
メイキングを観られてよかったです！ありがとうございます。
When I was a kid I watched this movie, and many times over since then, never understood why people didnt like it. And it was the first time I was introduce to Jefferson airplane.
Same here. ☝️
Loved it from the first time i watched it!
Me too and I was only 8 years old. Im very different (🙏)
It's Leave it to Beaver meets Psycho
Excellent video.
I have to imagine, at least Jim, Ben, and Matthew went on 'Montezuma's Revenge' while they were shooting in the OC. It wasn't cool at first when they let 'Jaguar' go through the loop but it grew on me. 'Boomerang' is another classic.
This film came out on video and DVD And did very good world wide cable guy
Almost 40 and Im still confused about this movie, yet, I watch it from time to time, is it comedy? is it drama? is it a romance flick? wtf
Thanks for the upload ❤️🥳 Love this Movie
FUCKING LOVE THIS MOVIE
Jim's best comedy and second best movie after Truman Show.
best comedy ever!!!
I forgot how much I liked That somebody to love scene
I love this movie...
That fluffy hair Judd!
I think when this came out people weren't prepared for a dark Jim Carrey. But now it's become a cult movie.

8:10 WTF....lol in between Mr Rodgers and Kermit the frog...lol
They didn't mention anything about Jack black acting
Class film. Love it.
the slam dunk idea on the original practice was way better and funnier than the final one in the movie lmao
Ben Stiller's best in my opinion best movie ever haha
The cable guy love this movie
I wouldn't mind Jim Carrey being in my room or under my bed
my favorite genre of movie is 'Satiric Comedic Thriller'
I LOVE this movie!!!
14:01 I died
god, I love Janeane Garofalo
Interesting mockumentary style in parts of this video. Pre-dating The Office and Extras.
This is a brilliant movie
THE CABLE GUY !!! Everytime I ring at my gf's door yelling those words while I almost continuously ring, she rushes and opens up the door, thinking it's some kind of nightmare. But it's worse than that. It's me.
This is perhaps the sickest comedy ever created. So Dark. I see it as a sociological comment on Guy Debord. Scary.
Even though Im sad that Chris Farley died, the film wouldn't be as good with him, Carrey plays the cable guy perfectly, and turned it in to a dark comedy.
EXACTLY! Chris Farley wasn’t that good in general… that’s why he didn’t have much of a career outside of SNL. All of his diehard fans make him out to be this incredible comedian… he wasn’t.

same with john belushi@@nsasupporter7557
They should have totally left in that one line towards the end of this. "I brought Steven here once...he didn't give A RATS ASSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!"
Ben Stiller worrying about the cable being disconnected and now cable is gone in many areas. Where I live it was ended several years ago.
best movie ever
That opening font on the door is called chicago
9:17 lol Jack black with really long hair
i didnt know he was the director. however this movie kicks ass. i dunno why it didnt do well. mabey if they edited it diffrently people would have liked it more. people expected more comedy like ace ventura or mask. i wonder how much unused footage there is. .we need a sequel :)
Such a movie with great potential too bad it bombed.
watchin it on HBO???? lol try watching it in 1996 when it came out in the cinema, WOWWWW
laughter start to finish!!!
I don't get why people hate this or Little Nicky. Both are extremely underrated movies.
Little Nicky was CRAP! 💩 it was one of the most horribly retarded movies ever that’s why people hated it
“Hey im a bigboi”
7:29 Jim Carrey looks like one of those cops from GTA
Lol. Have you seen serpico. Great movie
Love u Ben stiller aka uncle tony from heavyweights
Love you jim love you ben
if jimmy is really acting without any used of drugs to let him be like that.like cok or crack or any blood or pumming energy.i just find him amazing.what he do to actin is like a full workout.i bet he is tired everday and sleep soundly cus the way he even act need many energy to act like that faace body and voice you need to pull all up.and i just find him doing that much to act i kinda more respect him
