selfless kindness, or in the case of Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber, when people who are motivated by attraction, desperation and kindness, go to extremes, more often then not something good happens in the end. Hollywood has a long standing tradition of lauding the bumbling hero who, though misguided, saves the day with little more than a kind heart and a strong will. Two examples of goodness conquering all are Tommy Boy and Dumb and Dumber. Both movies are highly comical, and play to the worst
actor, Jim Carrey, has exploded onto the movie scene in the past five years. His "comedic unpredictability" has become his trademark in Hollywood (Hughes 28). The roles he played in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber have brought back the "dumb roots" back to comedy (Trakin 56). His combination of physical grace and facial contortions can make just about anyone laugh. Even as a child in Newmarket, a suburb of Toronto, Carrey put on his own comedy shows for family
appealing to the teenage crowd. Some very well known classics, still popular today are Ferris Bueller 's Day off, Sixteen Candles, Ghostbusters and The Goonies. The 1990 's ushered in an abundance of senseless cinematic features. Movies such as Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Happy Gilmore kept spectators laughing with simple-minded and foolish characters. Today 's comedies are a mixture of styles that are largely influenced by comedies of the

In terms of lacking common sense and the relationship of physical things, yes, today’s generation is dumber. Technology robs people of the ability to think for themselves and have creativity and willingness to discover on their own. It is so easy to pick up a phone and ask Google a question and get a simplified answer that’s easy for comprehension. According to the Dictionary, the definition of dumb is, “simplify or reduce the intellectual content of something so as to make it accessible to a larger
mimic situation or person. An example of satire is the film Dumb and Dumber. One part of this movie uses irony to focus on people who do not listen. Irony is the discrepancy between what is said and what is done. For example, Harry talks about how his old girlfriend broke up with him. Harry says, “She gave me a bunch a crap about me not listening to her enough, or something. I don’t know, I wasn’t really paying attention” (Dumb and Dumber). The problem is that some people do n...
If being dumb meant receiving certain score on tests to recall past information rather than the ability to think abstractly, logically, and critically, then everyone is dumb in a sense. Ironically, it is revealed that in fact, “IQ scores in every country that measures them, including the United States, have been rising since the 1930’s.” (Source
others realize the potential smart technology gives. A question has been raised asking whether smart technology has made us “dumb” or not. Nicholas Carr and Andrew Keen agree with each other that smart technology is making us dumber. However, I do not agree with Nicholas Carr and Andrew Keen from the broadcast of intelligence squared debate that smart technology is making us dumber. I for one, believe that smart technology is actually making us smarter. I personally believe that it depends on the person
People under the age of thirty are not dumb because time can be used more efficiently with technology in the Modern Era. The people of today do not have to read through the chapters of a book to find the answer to a question. Students in the Modern Era can get work done much quicker with the use of technology, thus giving people much more free time to play video games or spend time on iPhones. Generation Y has an advantage over the older generation because the younger generation has grown up with
may seem like a good idea, it causes conflict between the generations. The older generations keep proclaiming that they are smarter than the young ones these days. They thoroughly believe that with each passing year the youth of the world get dumber and dumber. If this is the case, then what would be the cause? It would be the ineffectiveness of the older generation at teaching the younger generations. So, who really is the dumbest generation? The answer is it is not either generation; the older generation
single bit of information that we humans have archived during centuries is available to any kid with a smartphone. Certainly, as the video Smartphone Dumb People Animation (2016) provided by Nata Riawan in his YouTube channel shows, there has been a lot of debate on whether smartphones are making us smarter or dumber. Moreover, the Smartphone Dumb People Animation video can be analyzed based on its audience, purpose, structure, and language. The video’s targeted audiences are teenagers and adults
there is someone that is always thinking of you and wondering what you are up to. It can be a pain sometimes but if it is than you are probably with the wrong person. Starting with my first relationship when I was sixteen (young dumb and full of cum.)Not to mention being raised by parents that grew up in the fifties, I figured why not stay with this girl for a while. Thinking the old fashioned way, of course within two months I had no gorlfriend. At this point I realized
“My initial surprise was to find among the candidates an abysmal ignorance of so elementary a subject as the geography of the United States” (Doc 5), the author writes. Mark Bauerlein is trying to saying the advent of technology is going to make us dumb and cripple our ability to properly confront the future, while not only have people been saying things like this for hundreds of years, but Americans specifically appear to have always have had some form of a lack of general knowledge to some extent
undermine Millennials by titling them as the dumbest generation. Another reason this title would be incorrect is because of the fact that Millennials’ thinking capacity is actually expanding. According to Sharon Begley in The Dumbest Generation? Don’t Be Dumb, “IQ scores in every country... have risen since the 1930s... the tests measure not knowledge but pure thinking capacity... then Gen Y’s [(Millennials)] ignorance of facts (or the facts that older people believe are important) reflects not dumbness
It succeeded, but the outcome was not what they were expecting. When Charlie started to die, he also got dumber and dumber. He said he wishes he could have another chance to be smart again, and he “doesn't know why im dumb agen,” (Pg 18). If he have never did this surgery, he would not have to deal with this pain and suffering of missing to be smart again. Even if he was going to be forever smart, he was going to
Dumbest Generation Essay Why is the under thirty generation so dumb? Technology allows them to get information faster and more efficiently than older generations, but even these shortcuts are of no benefit. They actually mess with our brains. Technology trains the brain to be Lazy, ignorant, and weak. If a young person were to search up something today, it would take less than a second. However, the past generations were not so lucky as some people would say. With the older generations they would
In “The Death of Expertise” the author, Tom Nichols, expresses his concerns and fears about the ignorant public and their views on experts and the things they are experts in. Nichols states that, in today’s society, a backlash of hate and anger will ensue when the public is faced with an “assertion of expertise.” Nichols argues that people resent the thought of being wrong or different opinions “altering their own thoughts and changing the way they live.” Nichols states that even though everyone
the phrase to kill a mockingbird might make you think a variety of different ideas or topics. Maybe you think of the best-selling book To Kill A Mockingbird or maybe you think of that song Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels sing about a mockingbird in Dumb and Dumber or you might simply think of a tutorial on how to shoot and kill the bird known as a mockingbird. It may seem like a simple quote from the novel but it actually goes much deeper. The expression to kill a mockingbird almost goes hand in hand with
As human beings, it is in our nature to change. We are always in a state of constant change and we are always evolving. Throughout the span of our lives, we are always being put through obstacles and circumstances that make us push our limits further and further. Horace was correct when he stated that adversity helps find inner strength because hardships are the catalysts that help human beings grow. Human beings are like this because we are always going through trauma, we are always getting hurt
Are Smart Phones Making Us Dumber? Walking down the street without seeing someone with a phone in hand is incredibly uncommon, and somewhat unheard of. Over 50% of the world own smartphones; this makes it to where there is hardly ever a time without information at our fingertips. In today’s world, we are spoiled with immediate responses from the internet; now with the touch of a button there is never a time when waiting to discover the answer to a question is thought of. There are many reasons that
