There seems to be a tremendous amount of confusion surrounding this video. Your take?

The clue that it is probably a joke is the chin quivering at the end.

It would be quite a risk to assume that everyone would merely think it a joke if it really weren't one.

Still, there's not a lot of context to be found to get the joke, and I didn't find myself laughing throughout, funny as I find Carrey to be generally. I've seen his dramatic work, most of which is quite good, and which gives this a puzzling edge.

Yeah, I love Jim - always have - but as much as I want this to be classic Jim hilarious, to me it just doesn't make it there. I need more context I guess.

Unless there is more to the story, I think it's a big ball of creepy truth wrapped in a joke. This way he can put the truth out there, and deflect it at the same time.

But, either way, I see a lot of parody videos (or auto-tuning) incoming.

I agree with TonyMontana that there's some truth in it and that makes it creepy as fuck.

And, really, it's not in the least bit funny, I know we don't know Carrey but has he even been in a movie with Stone, have they ever even spoken or acknowledged each other more than the customary greeting? This is just on all levels of weird.

I'd like to see her reaction to this video.

They are of adult age. Besides whats the difference between this and that one marine who was begging to have a date with Mila Kunis except for the age difference for Carrey?

I enjoyed this.

"...and every day, for the rest of your life, you would thank god that I was the appropriate age for you."

Then he tells her how it takes him longer than it used to take a piss. This is clearly a joke, perhaps in response to creepy videos Emma Stone or Jim Carrey or a million other people receive. Maybe it isn't funny because it's not in a format we immediately recognize as a conduit for humor?

An in-joke like that would make a lot of sense and would make it very funny - but if you were Carrey you'd think you'd want to advertise that fact pretty heavily to provide context. Fact is, now scores of people think he is or may be creepy or otherwise depressed and lonely. Instead of providing the context he says more puzzling things like 'the funniest part is that it's all true' and 'people ask me if I'm being serious or funny - to which I answer "yes"'. That doesn't help. I'm more than willing to give the benefit of the doubt though.

Or maybe hes trying to pull an Andy Kaufman on people. Not many people get his bizarre antics back then

If Jim Carey really likes Emma Stone, he is of stature where he could easily have a non-public outlet to express that. The marine would have almost no other option but a public plea. And, there is definitely a different dynamic when comparing the two scenarios.

For example, me expressing my love for Kate Beckinsale via youtube (a fan to celebrity relation) may be a little strange, but I'd say it's less strange then me (at my advanced age) making a video expressing my love for an 18 year old high school student who I don't personally know. The latter hypothetical is a more "equal" dynamic in stature, and we're both technically adults, but that would definitely be a lot more creepy in my book, even if I wrapped it up in a joke. There is a difference.

I think the big problem with it is, if a joke... it just wasn't that funny. If truthful... how sad is it that Jim Carrey at 49 has to resort to fan like YouTube's to get a lady? If he's trying to do Kaufman... it's really weak. Kaufman's stuff was so much more involved, deep, and over the top. So, I'm confused as to any level that this works.

HA! OMG, yes. I hadn't even thought of auto-tuning. I'm gonna be stalking YouTube the next few days, waitin' for Schmoyoho to put up an auto-tune of this, as is inevitable.

I find it way more interesting as an artistic piece (because yes, everything can be art) without Carrey mugging it up to easily assure the viewer that this is obviously fake. He's obviously succeeded at being creepy in his sad flirtations, any by taking himself seriously it's way more disturbing and off-putting.

I like to imagine that this is artistic commentary on vlogging, the removal of the space between the public and the private, and the artificiality of digital interactions. It doesn't take much to imagine this as not just a weird in-joke that was foolishly made public, but social satire that's effective because it's making folks uncomfortable.

Joke or not, that was uncomfortable and awkward. Imagine how she felt hehe :/

Listen to the words he's actually saying.

"Chubby little freckled faced kids."

"We'd go camping and play Yahtzee."

"Tell ghost stories by the fire."

"And for the rest of your life you'd thank God that I'm the appropriate age for you."

If someone performed this sketch (which is what it is) on SNL it'd get a bunch of laughs. I think MovieDude hit it right on the head. And if it wasn't an in-joke, why would Emma Stone have posted it on her Youtube channel?

Or it could serve as a counterpoint to all of the violence and troubles that media presents to grab our attention, and yet we are baffled by statements of affection.

This is hilarious guys. Its an obvious spoof of the videos she has gotten lately, especially from younger fans professing there love. They are having fun. I just think it's hilarious that she got Carrey to go in on it, I wonder if they are doing a movie together soon.

You wanna read something funny?
About three months ago or so, in and among this browbeat, nondescript 103 unit apartment complex that my family continues to call "home", in the low-rent suburbs of Los Angeles, approximately seven miles north of Universal City, there was this young twenty-something redhead girl who was hanging out among the middle aged Mamasitas and other regular-looking people who reside here.
There aren't too many people with looks on display around these parts, so anyone with any kind of a face pretty much stands out. It doesn't matter anyhow.
We do have local folks in the industry.

I just checked the IMDB pictures for Emma Stone and I swear, at that time she was running around here, smoking and hanging with a very-young looking...


Thank you Jim.
