It is the first installment in the [[Dumb and Dumber (franchise)|''Dumb and Dumber'' franchise]]. Starring [[Jim Carrey]] and [[Jeff Daniels]], it tells the story of Lloyd Christmas (Carrey) and Harry Dunne (Daniels), two dumb but well-meaning friends from [[Providence, Rhode Island]], who set out on a cross-country trip to [[Aspen, Colorado]], to return a briefcase full of money to its owner, thinking it was abandoned as a mistake though it was actually left as a ransom. [[Lauren Holly]], [[Karen Duffy]], [[Mike Starr (actor)|Mike Starr]], [[Charles Rocket]], and [[Teri Garr]] play supporting roles.
The film was released on December 16, 1994.

==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400-700 words. -->
Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, two kind but dimwitted young men, are best friends and roommates living in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. Lloyd, a chip-toothed limousine driver, immediately falls in love with Mary Swanson, a woman he is driving to the airport, unaware that she is married. She leaves a briefcase in the terminal. Lloyd sees this and attempts to return it to her, unaware that it contains ransom money for her kidnapped husband, Bobby, and that she intentionally left it for her husband's captors, Joe "Mental" Mentalino and J. P. Shay. Her [[Aspen, Colorado|Aspen]]-bound plane has already departed, leading to Lloyd running and falling out of the jetway.
Fired from his job for leaving the scene of an accident, Lloyd returns to his apartment and learns that Harry has also been fired from his dog-grooming job after delivering dogs late to a show and accidentally getting them dirty. Mental and Shay follow Lloyd home from the airport in pursuit of the briefcase. Mistaking the crooks for debt collectors, the two flee the apartment and return later to find that Mental and Shay have ransacked the apartment and decapitated Harry's [[parakeet]]. Lloyd suggests they head to Aspen to find Mary and return the briefcase, hoping they can find a better life. At first, Harry opposes the idea, but after realizing there’s nothing left for them, agrees and they leave the next day.
Mental and Shay catch up to the duo at a motel that night. Posing as a hitchhiker, Mental is picked up by Harry and Lloyd while Shay secretly follows them. During a lunch stop, the duo pranks Mental with [[chili pepper]]s in his burger, unaware that he has a [[stomach ulcer]]. When Mental reacts adversely, they accidentally kill him with rat poison pills (which he planned to use on them) after mistaking it for his medication. In response, police wait to intercept the two on the road to Colorado, but a distracted Lloyd takes a wrong turn and ends up driving all night through [[Nebraska]]. Upon waking up and realizing Lloyd's mishap, Harry gives up on the journey and decides to walk home, but Lloyd later persuades him to continue after trading the van for a [[minibike]].
The two arrive in Aspen but cannot find Mary. With no money and nowhere to stay, Harry attacks Lloyd in frustration that night, breaking the briefcase open by accident; after discovering the money, the two spend it on a luxury hotel suite, clothes, and a car. They learn that Mary and her family are hosting a gala and prepare to attend. At the gala, Harry, attempting to lure Mary over to Lloyd, reluctantly agrees to go skiing with her the next day and lies to Lloyd that he got him a date. The next day, after waiting all day for Mary at the hotel bar, Lloyd finds out Harry lied and spent the day with her himself.
In retaliation, Lloyd pranks Harry by serving him a [[coffee]] laced with a heavy dose of [[laxative]], causing Harry to [[fecal incontinence|spontaneously defecate]] quite violently in a broken toilet at Mary's house. Lloyd arrives at Mary's house and informs her that he has her briefcase. He takes her to the hotel, shows her the briefcase, and confesses his love to her, but she rejects him as she is already married. Nicholas Andre, an old friend of the Swansons and the mastermind behind Bobby's kidnapping shows up. Lloyd learns from Andre of Mary’s marriage to Bobby and Andre learns that Harry and Lloyd had spent all of the ransom money, and replaced it with [[IOU]]s; furious, he takes Lloyd and Mary hostage, as well as Harry when he returns. An argument leads Nicholas to shoot Harry, who plays dead before ineptly returning fire. Before Nicholas can fire another shot, an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] team led by Beth Jordan (whom Harry had met at a gas station and Lloyd met earlier at the bar) raids the suite, where Beth tells Harry and Lloyd that the FBI and police had been following them since they left Providence. Harry reveals they gave him a bulletproof vest and gun when he arrived. Nicolas and Shay are arrested, and Mary and Bobby are reunited, much to Lloyd's dejection.
The next day, Harry and Lloyd have begun walking home on foot because all of their purchases were confiscated and their minibike has broken down. The two unintentionally decline the chance to be oil boys for a group of bikini girls, after which Harry tells Lloyd that they will get their "break" one day, then play a friendly game of [[Tag (game)|tag]] as they walk back to Rhode Island.

==Production==
The film was originally conceived by [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]] before he sold it to the Farrelly Brothers and asked to be uncredited from the writing credits.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7NyrBwAAQBAJ&q=dumb+and+dumber+john+hughes&pg=PA5|last=Honeycutt|first=Kirk|title=John Hughes: A Life in Film: The Genius Behind Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club, Home Alone, and More|year=2015|publisher=Race Point Publishing|isbn=9781631060229}}page 5</ref>
The Farrelly Brothers had been trying for years to get their first movie made. Director Peter Farrelly's agent encouraged him to make a movie himself, alongside his brother Bobby.
The Farrelly Brothers did not know who [[Jim Carrey]] was; they were only told that he was "The White Guy" on ''[[In Living Color]]''. Only after a screening of Carrey's first major acting role, ''[[Ace Ventura: Pet Detective]]'', did they realize they had struck gold. Based on the box-office success of Ace Ventura, Carrey was able to negotiate a salary of $7 million for this film.<ref name=Cameron-Wilson146>{{Cite book|last1=Cameron-Wilson|first1=James|last2=Speed|first2=F. Maurice|title=Film Review 1994-5|year=1994|publisher=Virgin Books|location=Great Britain|isbn=0-86369-842-5|page=146}}</ref>
[[Nicolas Cage]], who was proposed to be Carrey's co-star, tried to negotiate a $2 million increase in his fee but New Line decided against casting him and signed [[Jeff Daniels]] instead.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=May 15, 1994|page=6|title=Cagey over budget}}</ref> Cage said he turned it down to do ''[[Leaving Las Vegas]]'' instead.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nicolas-cage-ghost-rider_n_1276728|title=Nicolas Cage Almost Starred In 'Dumb & Dumber'; Considers Himself Led Zeppelin|date=February 14, 2012|website=HuffPost}}</ref> Daniels was only paid around $50,000. [[New Line Cinema]] originally did not want Daniels in the film, as he was known only for his dramatic work at the time. However, the Farrellys and Carrey wanted Daniels for the part. Although New Line agreed to their demands, Daniels was offered the low salary in the hopes it would discourage him from signing on to the film. Daniels ultimately accepted the role, despite his agent reportedly dissuading him out of fears it would kill his career.<ref name="Triva">{{cite web|title=Jim Carrey Was Paid 140 Times More Than Jeff Daniels For Original 'Dumb And Dumber'|publisher=Business Insider|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/dumb-and-dumber-jim-carrey-jeff-daniels-paycheck-2014-11|access-date=July 19, 2015|archive-date=September 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190904034932/https://www.businessinsider.com/dumb-and-dumber-jim-carrey-jeff-daniels-paycheck-2014-11|url-status=live}}</ref>

Carrey's chipped tooth is genuine, resulting from a fight with a classmate in his childhood, but he had since had it [[crown (dentistry)|capped]]. He simply had the crown temporarily removed from that tooth to portray Lloyd.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.ew.com/article/1995/02/03/jim-carreys-fake-tooth|title=Jim Carrey's fake tooth|last=Meyers|first=Kate|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|date=February 3, 1995|access-date=August 28, 2015|archive-date=July 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150720175621/https://www.ew.com/article/1995/02/03/jim-carreys-fake-tooth|url-status=live}}</ref>
===Filming===
Scenes taking place in Aspen were filmed in [[Breckenridge, Colorado]] and [[Park City, Utah]].

The original soundtrack to the film was released by [[RCA Records]] on November 22, 1994.<ref>Playlist as listed on the Compact Disc — retrieved on 8/12/13</ref> The soundtrack album's first single, "[[New Age Girl]]" by [[Deadeye Dick (band)|Deadeye Dick]], was a chart hit, reaching number 27 in the US, while the music video for the [[Crash Test Dummies]]' version of "[[The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead#Crash Test Dummies version|The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead]]" featured Jeff Daniels reprising his role of Harry.<ref name="vice d&d">{{cite web |last1=Matthews |first1=Cameron |title=That John Denver Was Full of Shit: A Definitive Guide to the 'Dumb and Dumber' Soundtrack |url=https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/rpzpbr/that-john-denver-was-full-of-shit-a-definitive-guide-to-the-dumb-and-dumber-soundtrack-1 |website=Vice |access-date=10 December 2019 |archive-date=December 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191210225834/https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/rpzpbr/that-john-denver-was-full-of-shit-a-definitive-guide-to-the-dumb-and-dumber-soundtrack-1 |url-status=live}}</ref>
The soundtrack album has generally seen positive reception from critics. Joe Bishop of ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'' named the album his favorite movie soundtrack, while the same site's Cameron Matthews described it as "a perfect slice of the mid-'90s sound: bubbly pop rock with jangly chords and just enough grit, or aka the thing you can give your kids when they one day ask you what the '90s were like".<ref name="vice d&d" /><ref name="vice d&d bishop">{{cite web |last1=Bishop |first1=Jeff |title=My Favorite Movie Soundtrack: 'Dumb And Dumber' |url=https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/rqazmr/dumb-and-dumber |website=Vice |access-date=10 December 2019 |archive-date=December 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191211010715/https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/rqazmr/dumb-and-dumber |url-status=live}}</ref>
Though not present on the soundtrack, the film famously features Carrey and Daniels singing an [[a cappella]] version of "[[Mockingbird (Inez & Charlie Foxx song)|Mockingbird]]" to Mike Starr's character.<ref name="vice d&d" /> Also missing on the soundtrack is [[Apache Indian]]'s "[[Boom Shack-A-Lak]]", which accompanies the film's opening sequence, as well as several other songs appearing in the film. Songs not included on the soundtrack are "Red Right Hand" by [[Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds]], "The Rain, The Park and Other Things" by [[The Cowsills]], "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by Crash Test Dummies, "Oh, Pretty Woman" by [[Roy Orbison]], "Can We Still Be Friends?" by [[Todd Rundgren]] and "Rollin' Down the Hill" by [[The Rembrandts]].
[[Beck]] had been approached about including his song "[[Loser (Beck song)|Loser]]" on the soundtrack, but he refused. He recalled the process: "I remember getting a phone call one day. My manager said, 'There's a film. They want to use 'Loser' as the theme song'. There was a long pause, and he said, 'The name of the film is ''Dumb And Dumber''. And I just remember: That sums up what the world thinks of me at this point. I tried to have fun with it, tried to not take it too serious. But at the same time, it was a little disheartening sometimes".<ref name="beck dumb and dumber">{{cite web |last1=Breihan |first1=Tom |title=Beck Discusses Failing To Get Aphex Twin To Produce Him In The '90s And Denying Dumb And Dumber "Loser" For Its Theme Song |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2065648/beck-discusses-failing-to-get-aphex-twin-to-produce-him-in-the-90s-and-denying-dumb-and-dumber-loser-for-its-theme-song/news/ |website=Stereogum |date=November 21, 2019 |access-date=10 December 2019 |archive-date=November 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191127235446/https://www.stereogum.com/2065648/beck-discusses-failing-to-get-aphex-twin-to-produce-him-in-the-90s-and-denying-dumb-and-dumber-loser-for-its-theme-song/news/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

===Critical response===
[[Rotten Tomatoes]], a review aggregator, reports that 68% of 53 surveyed critics gave ''Dumb and Dumber'' a positive review; the average rating is 6.1/10. The site's consensus reads: "A relentlessly stupid comedy elevated by its main actors: Jim Carrey goes bonkers and Jeff Daniels carries himself admirably in an [[Against type|against-type]] performance".<ref>{{cite web |title=Dumb and Dumber |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dumb_and_dumber/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210120120525/https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dumb_and_dumber |archive-date=January 20, 2021 |access-date=April 19, 2022 |website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]}}</ref> On [[Metacritic]], which assigns a rating out of 100 to reviews from film critics, it has a score of 41 based on reviews from 14 critics, which indicates "mixed or average reviews".<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.metacritic.com/movie/dumb-and-dumber |title= Critic Reviews for Dumb & Dumber |website= [[Metacritic]] |access-date= September 17, 2015 |archive-date= October 30, 2020 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20201030031400/https://www.metacritic.com/movie/dumb-and-dumber |url-status= live}}</ref> Audiences polled by [[CinemaScore]] gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-12-20|title=Cinemascore :: Movie Title Search|url=https://www.cinemascore.com/publicsearch/index/title/|access-date=2020-07-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181220122629/https://www.cinemascore.com/publicsearch/index/title/|archive-date=December 20, 2018}}</ref>
[[Roger Ebert]] gave the film two of four stars for the hit-or-miss comedic elements, but praised the performances of Carrey and Daniels, dubbing the former a "true original", and writing that the dead parakeet joke "made me laugh so loudly I embarrassed myself.

===Legacy===
The line, "So you're telling me there's a chance", from the scene in which Lloyd confesses his feelings to Mary, became an [[Internet meme]]<!--when?--> as a sarcastic reaction to impossible but still non-zero odds. Lloyd utters the line in response to her telling him the probability of him and Mary being a couple are "more like one out of a million", which he takes at face value even though it is only her way of letting him down gently.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}
==Other media==
===Animated series===
{{main|Dumb and Dumber (TV series)}}
In 1995, a [[Hanna-Barbera]]-produced animated series aired on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], as part of its Saturday morning cartoon lineup; [[Matt Frewer]] provided the voice of Lloyd, while [[Bill Fagerbakke]] voiced Harry. In the cartoon, Harry and Lloyd have reacquired their van, now named "Otto". The cartoon also features a new character, Kitty, a female pet purple beaver who appears to be smarter than both men. The animated series was written by Bennett Yellin, co-writer of the film. The show was short-lived and was shelved after one season.

==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, the plot summary should be 400-700 words. -->
Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, two kind but dimwitted young men, are best friends and roommates living in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. Lloyd, a chip-toothed limousine driver, immediately falls in love with Mary Swanson, a woman he is driving to the airport, unaware that she is married. She leaves a briefcase in the terminal. Lloyd sees this and attempts to return it to her, unaware that it contains ransom money for her kidnapped husband, Bobby, and that she intentionally left it for her husband's captors, Joe "Mental" Mentalino and J. P. Shay. Her [[Aspen, Colorado|Aspen]]-bound plane has already departed, leading to Lloyd running and falling out of the jetway.
Fired from his job for leaving the scene of an accident, Lloyd returns to his apartment and learns that Harry has also been fired from his dog-grooming job after delivering dogs late to a show and accidentally getting them dirty with a bunch of junk food. Mental and Shay follow Lloyd home from the airport in pursuit of the briefcase. Mistaking the crooks for debt collectors, the two flee the apartment and return later to find that Mental and Shay have ransacked the apartment and decapitated Harry's [[parakeet]]. Lloyd suggests they head to Aspen to find Mary and return the briefcase, hoping they can find a better life. At first, Harry opposes the idea, but after realizing there’s nothing left for them, agrees and they leave the next day.
During the trip, Lloyd managed to get some cash for the trip, selling multiple items to Billy the Blind kid, including their dead parakeet, taping it's head back on. They have a rough encounter in [[Pennsylvania]] with a trucker named Seabass who spat a wad in Harry's burger. Lloyd manages to pull a fast one on Seabass and the duo continue their trip. Lloyd has a sudden urge to pee and uses Harry's empty beer bottles to relieve himself. They soon get pulled over and the officer checks one of the bottles found in the Sheep Dog and lets the leave upon tasting the contents of the bottle.
Mental and Shay catch up to the duo at a motel that night. Posing as a hitchhiker, Mental is picked up by Harry and Lloyd while Shay secretly follows them. During a lunch stop, the duo pranks Mental with [[chili pepper|chili peppers]] in his burger, unaware that he has a [[stomach ulcer]]. When Mental reacts adversely, they accidentally kill him with rat poison pills (which he planned to use on them) after mistaking it for his medication. The police then investigate the death and placed a BOLO on the Sheep Dog Mobile. The duo are fueling up in [[Kansas]], and while Harry hits it up with a female at the pump, Lloyd has another chance encounter with Seabass in the men's room. Harry accidentally sets his foot on fire and rushes to the men's room, using a toilet to extinguish the flame, and somehow, saving Lloyd from Seabass.
As the police wait to intercept the duo on the Interstate to Colorado, a distracted Lloyd at the wheel takes a wrong turn and ends up driving all night into [[Nebraska]]. Upon waking up and realizing Lloyd's mishap, Harry gives up on the journey and decides to hitchhike home, but Lloyd later persuades him to continue after trading the van for a [[minibike]].
The two arrive in Aspen but cannot find Mary. With no money and nowhere to stay, Harry attacks Lloyd in frustration that night, breaking the briefcase open by accident; after discovering the money, the two spend it on a luxury hotel suite, clothes, and a car. They learn that Mary and her family are hosting a gala and prepare to attend. At the gala, Harry, attempting to lure Mary over to Lloyd, reluctantly agrees to go skiing with her the next day and lies to Lloyd that he got him a date. The next day, after waiting all day for Mary at the hotel bar, Lloyd finds out Harry lied and spent the day with her himself.
In retaliation, Lloyd pranks Harry by serving him a [[coffee]] laced with a heavy dose of [[laxative]], causing Harry to [[fecal incontinence|spontaneously defecate]] quite violently in a broken toilet at Mary's house. Lloyd arrives at Mary's house and informs her that he has her briefcase. He takes her to the hotel, shows her the briefcase, and confesses his love to her, but she rejects him as she is already married. Nicholas Andre, an old friend of the Swansons and the mastermind behind Bobby's kidnapping shows up. Lloyd learns from Andre of Mary’s marriage to Bobby and Andre learns that Harry and Lloyd had spent almost all of the ransom money, and replaced it with [[IOU]]s; furious, he takes Lloyd and Mary hostage, as well as Harry when he returns. An argument leads Nicholas to shoot Harry, who plays dead before ineptly returning fire. Before Nicholas can fire another shot, an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] team led by Beth Jordan (whom Harry had met at a gas station and Lloyd met earlier at the bar) raids the suite, where Beth tells Harry and Lloyd that the FBI and police had been following them since they left Providence. Harry reveals they gave him a bulletproof vest and gun when he arrived. Nicolas and Shay are arrested, and Mary and Bobby are reunited, much to Lloyd's dejection.
The next day, Harry and Lloyd have begun walking home on foot because all of their purchases were confiscated and their minibike has broken down. The two unintentionally decline the chance to be oil boys for a group of bikini girls, after which Harry tells Lloyd that they will get their "break" one day, then play a friendly game of [[Tag (game)|tag]] as they walk back to Rhode Island.

==Production==
The film was originally conceived by [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]] before he sold it to the Farrelly Brothers and asked to be uncredited from the writing credits.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7NyrBwAAQBAJ&q=dumb+and+dumber+john+hughes&pg=PA5|last=Honeycutt|first=Kirk|title=John Hughes: A Life in Film: The Genius Behind Ferris Bueller, The Breakfast Club, Home Alone, and More|year=2015|publisher=Race Point Publishing|isbn=9781631060229}}page 5</ref>
The Farrelly Brothers had been trying for years to get their first movie made. Director Peter Farrelly's agent encouraged him to make a movie himself, alongside his brother Bobby.
The Farrelly Brothers did not know who [[Jim Carrey]] was; they were only told that he was "The White Guy" on ''[[In Living Color]]''. Only after a screening of Carrey's first major acting role, ''[[Ace Ventura: Pet Detective]]'', did they realize they had struck gold. Based on the box-office success of Ace Ventura, Carrey was able to negotiate a salary of $7 million for this film.<ref name=Cameron-Wilson146>{{Cite book|last1=Cameron-Wilson|first1=James|last2=Speed|first2=F.

[[Nicolas Cage]], who was proposed to be Carrey's co-star, tried to negotiate a $2 million increase in his fee but New Line decided against casting him and signed [[Jeff Daniels]] instead.<ref>{{cite magazine|magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=May 15, 1994|page=6|title=Cagey over budget}}</ref> Cage said he turned it down to do ''[[Leaving Las Vegas]]'' instead.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nicolas-cage-ghost-rider_n_1276728|title=Nicolas Cage Almost Starred In 'Dumb & Dumber'; Considers Himself Led Zeppelin|date=February 14, 2012|website=HuffPost}}</ref> Daniels was only paid around $50,000. [[New Line Cinema]] originally did not want Daniels in the film, as he was known only for his dramatic work at the time. However, the Farrellys and Carrey wanted Daniels for the part. Although New Line agreed to their demands, Daniels was offered the low salary in the hopes it would discourage him from signing on to the film. Daniels ultimately accepted the role, despite his agent reportedly dissuading him out of fears it would kill his career.<ref name="Triva">{{cite web|title=Jim Carrey Was Paid 140 Times More Than Jeff Daniels For Original 'Dumb And Dumber'|publisher=Business Insider|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/dumb-and-dumber-jim-carrey-jeff-daniels-paycheck-2014-11|access-date=July 19, 2015|archive-date=September 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190904034932/https://www.businessinsider.com/dumb-and-dumber-jim-carrey-jeff-daniels-paycheck-2014-11|url-status=live}}</ref>

The soundtrack album has generally seen positive reception from critics. Joe Bishop of ''[[Vice (magazine)|Vice]]'' named the album his favorite movie soundtrack, while the same site's Cameron Matthews described it as "a perfect slice of the mid-'90s sound: bubbly pop rock with jangly chords and just enough grit, or aka the thing you can give your kids when they one day ask you what the '90s were like".<ref name="vice d&d" /><ref name="vice d&d bishop">{{cite web |last1=Bishop |first1=Jeff |title=My Favorite Movie Soundtrack: 'Dumb And Dumber' |url=https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/rqazmr/dumb-and-dumber |website=Vice |access-date=10 December 2019 |archive-date=December 11, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191211010715/https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/rqazmr/dumb-and-dumber |url-status=live}}</ref>
Though not present on the soundtrack, the film famously features Carrey and Daniels singing an [[a cappella]] version of "[[Mockingbird (Inez & Charlie Foxx song)|Mockingbird]]" to Mike Starr's character.<ref name="vice d&d" /> Also missing on the soundtrack is [[Apache Indian]]'s "[[Boom Shack-A-Lak]]", which accompanies the film's opening sequence, as well as several other songs appearing in the film. Songs not included on the soundtrack are "Red Right Hand" by [[Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds]], "The Rain, The Park and Other Things" by [[The Cowsills]], "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by Crash Test Dummies, "Oh, Pretty Woman" by [[Roy Orbison]], "Can We Still Be Friends?" by [[Todd Rundgren]] and "Rollin' Down the Hill" by [[The Rembrandts]].
[[Beck]] had been approached about including his song "[[Loser (Beck song)|Loser]]" on the soundtrack, but he refused. He recalled the process: "I remember getting a phone call one day. My manager said, 'There's a film. They want to use 'Loser' as the theme song'. There was a long pause, and he said, 'The name of the film is ''Dumb And Dumber''. And I just remember: That sums up what the world thinks of me at this point. I tried to have fun with it, tried to not take it too serious. But at the same time, it was a little disheartening sometimes".<ref name="beck dumb and dumber">{{cite web |last1=Breihan |first1=Tom |title=Beck Discusses Failing To Get Aphex Twin To Produce Him In The '90s And Denying Dumb And Dumber "Loser" For Its Theme Song |url=https://www.stereogum.com/2065648/beck-discusses-failing-to-get-aphex-twin-to-produce-him-in-the-90s-and-denying-dumb-and-dumber-loser-for-its-theme-song/news/ |website=Stereogum |date=November 21, 2019 |access-date=10 December 2019 |archive-date=November 27, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191127235446/https://www.stereogum.com/2065648/beck-discusses-failing-to-get-aphex-twin-to-produce-him-in-the-90s-and-denying-dumb-and-dumber-loser-for-its-theme-song/news/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Roger Ebert]] gave the film two of four stars for the hit-or-miss comedic elements, but praised the performances of Carrey and Daniels, dubbing the former a "true original", and writing that the dead parakeet joke "made me laugh so loudly I embarrassed myself.

===Legacy===
The line, "So you're telling me there's a chance", from the scene in which Lloyd confesses his feelings to Mary, became an [[Internet meme]]<!--when?--> as a sarcastic reaction to impossible but still non-zero odds. Lloyd utters the line in response to her telling him the probability of him and Mary being a couple are "more like one out of a million", which he takes at face value even though it is only her way of letting him down gently.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}

===Animated series===
{{main|Dumb and Dumber (TV series)}}
In 1995, a [[Hanna-Barbera]]-produced animated series aired on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], as part of its Saturday morning cartoon lineup; [[Matt Frewer]] provided the voice of Lloyd, while [[Bill Fagerbakke]] voiced Harry. In the cartoon, Harry and Lloyd have reacquired their van, now named "Otto". The cartoon also features a new character, Kitty, a female pet purple beaver who appears to be smarter than both men. The animated series was written by Bennett Yellin, co-writer of the film. The show was short-lived and was shelved after one season.
===Prequel===
{{main|Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd}}
In 2003, a [[prequel]] was theatrically released, entitled ''[[Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd]]''. The film featured a cast and crew different from the previous film, and the Farrelly brothers had no involvement in the film's production. It was panned by critics, receiving a 10% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dumb_and_dumberer_when_harry_met_lloyd/|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|access-date=October 25, 2013|archive-date=December 15, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131215202353/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/dumb_and_dumberer_when_harry_met_lloyd/|url-status=live}}</ref> It grossed approximately $39.2 million worldwide against a $19 million budget, as opposed to the original film's far greater $247 million worldwide gross against a $17 million budget.<ref>{{cite web|title=Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd|url=https://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=dumbanddumberer.htm|publisher=[[Box Office Mojo]]|access-date=October 25, 2013|archive-date=October 21, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131021050723/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=dumbanddumberer.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne, two kind but dimwitted young men, are best friends and roommates living in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. Lloyd, a chip-toothed limousine driver, immediately falls in love with Mary Swanson, a woman he is driving to the airport, unaware that she is married. She leaves a briefcase in the terminal. Lloyd sees this and attempts to return it to her, unaware that it contains ransom money for her kidnapped husband, Bobby, and that she intentionally left it for her husband's captors, Joe "Mental" Mentalino and J. P. Shay. Her [[Aspen, Colorado|Aspen]]-bound plane has already departed, leading to Lloyd running and falling out of the jetway.
-Fired from his job for leaving the scene of an accident, Lloyd returns to his apartment and learns that Harry has also been fired from his dog-grooming job after delivering dogs late to a show and accidentally getting them dirty. Mental and Shay follow Lloyd home from the airport in pursuit of the briefcase. Mistaking the crooks for debt collectors, the two flee the apartment and return later to find that Mental and Shay have ransacked the apartment and decapitated Harry's [[parakeet]]. Lloyd suggests they head to Aspen to find Mary and return the briefcase, hoping they can find a better life. At first, Harry opposes the idea, but after realizing there’s nothing left for them, agrees and they leave the next day.
+Fired from his job for leaving the scene of an accident, Lloyd returns to his apartment and learns that Harry has also been fired from his dog-grooming job after delivering dogs late to a show and accidentally getting them dirty with a bunch of junk food.

At first, Harry opposes the idea, but after realizing there’s nothing left for them, agrees and they leave the next day.
-Mental and Shay catch up to the duo at a motel that night. Posing as a hitchhiker, Mental is picked up by Harry and Lloyd while Shay secretly follows them. During a lunch stop, the duo pranks Mental with [[chili pepper]]s in his burger, unaware that he has a [[stomach ulcer]]. When Mental reacts adversely, they accidentally kill him with rat poison pills (which he planned to use on them) after mistaking it for his medication. In response, police wait to intercept the two on the road to Colorado, but a distracted Lloyd takes a wrong turn and ends up driving all night through [[Nebraska]]. Upon waking up and realizing Lloyd's mishap, Harry gives up on the journey and decides to walk home, but Lloyd later persuades him to continue after trading the van for a [[minibike]].
+During the trip, Lloyd managed to get some cash for the trip, selling multiple items to Billy the Blind kid, including their dead parakeet, taping it's head back on. They have a rough encounter in [[Pennsylvania]] with a trucker named Seabass who spat a wad in Harry's burger. Lloyd manages to pull a fast one on Seabass and the duo continue their trip. Lloyd has a sudden urge to pee and uses Harry's empty beer bottles to relieve himself. They soon get pulled over and the officer checks one of the bottles found in the Sheep Dog and lets the leave upon tasting the contents of the bottle.

The police then investigate the death and placed a BOLO on the Sheep Dog Mobile. The duo are fueling up in [[Kansas]], and while Harry hits it up with a female at the pump, Lloyd has another chance encounter with Seabass in the men's room. Harry accidentally sets his foot on fire and rushes to the men's room, using a toilet to extinguish the flame, and somehow, saving Lloyd from Seabass.

+As the police wait to intercept the duo on the Interstate to Colorado, a distracted Lloyd at the wheel takes a wrong turn and ends up driving all night into [[Nebraska]]. Upon waking up and realizing Lloyd's mishap, Harry gives up on the journey and decides to hitchhike home, but Lloyd later persuades him to continue after trading the van for a [[minibike]].
The two arrive in Aspen but cannot find Mary. With no money and nowhere to stay, Harry attacks Lloyd in frustration that night, breaking the briefcase open by accident; after discovering the money, the two spend it on a luxury hotel suite, clothes, and a car. They learn that Mary and her family are hosting a gala and prepare to attend. At the gala, Harry, attempting to lure Mary over to Lloyd, reluctantly agrees to go skiing with her the next day and lies to Lloyd that he got him a date. The next day, after waiting all day for Mary at the hotel bar, Lloyd finds out Harry lied and spent the day with her himself.
-In retaliation, Lloyd pranks Harry by serving him a [[coffee]] laced with a heavy dose of [[laxative]], causing Harry to [[fecal incontinence|spontaneously defecate]] quite violently in a broken toilet at Mary's house. Lloyd arrives at Mary's house and informs her that he has her briefcase. He takes her to the hotel, shows her the briefcase, and confesses his love to her, but she rejects him as she is already married. Nicholas Andre, an old friend of the Swansons and the mastermind behind Bobby's kidnapping shows up. Lloyd learns from Andre of Mary’s marriage to Bobby and Andre learns that Harry and Lloyd had spent all of the ransom money, and replaced it with [[IOU]]s; furious, he takes Lloyd and Mary hostage, as well as Harry when he returns. An argument leads Nicholas to shoot Harry, who plays dead before ineptly returning fire. Before Nicholas can fire another shot, an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] team led by Beth Jordan (whom Harry had met at a gas station and Lloyd met earlier at the bar) raids the suite, where Beth tells Harry and Lloyd that the FBI and police had been following them since they left Providence. Harry reveals they gave him a bulletproof vest and gun when he arrived. Nicolas and Shay are arrested, and Mary and Bobby are reunited, much to Lloyd's dejection.

The next day, Harry and Lloyd have begun walking home on foot because all of their purchases were confiscated and their minibike has broken down. The two unintentionally decline the chance to be oil boys for a group of bikini girls, after which Harry tells Lloyd that they will get their "break" one day, then play a friendly game of [[Tag (game)|tag]] as they walk back to Rhode Island.
