Who said alrighty then

One of the best-known lines from that movie is Ace's signature catchphrase: "Alrighty then! After all, Ace Ventura can't just say "okay" when he's done talking to you. That would be way too normal. Jim Carrey actually contributed quite a bit to the script for Ace Ventura, so he's the one who inserted this catchphrase into the movie.

If you watch some of his old sketches from In Living Color , you'll see him doing Ace's voice and even hear him let out an "alrighty then" as the pretty offensive by today's standards Overly Confident Gay Man. Alrighty, then sorry —check out this clip. So we wrote a really horrible 15 minute routine that was just me imitating people on the Carol Burnett Show. The stench of Bob Dylan still fresh in the air sniffing laughing in the sixties. It was a disaster, it was a disaster. My mother dressed me in a polyester suit and I said are you sure about this and she said I saw it on Donahue.

If we could have a look at a clip of you on Johnny Carson when you were Oh my god. On Thanksgiving day. God help me.

Clint Eastwood. Do you add to your repertoire or is that basically like done at this point? Yeah, I don't have a great desire, but if I'm on Saturday Night Live or something like that, that's the wondrous part about that kind of stuff is that I can employ that talent which I don't generally get to do. It's been a growth situation where I get to a certain point where people go oh my god you're really great, that's what you are! And I go nope. I'm something different and because I want to constantly be you know fashioning new limbs to this avatar.

I get a lull in popularity and a little bit I kind of go away and I learn a new swing and this time I learned how to paint and I learned how to sculpt and I became a political cartoonist for some reason. You said that the Ace Ventura character was based off of a bird. And so I guess-- Do the walk for you and you'll see the whole thing. Of course, in every contest, there must be a loser.

Lew-Who, Za-Her! Sounds so familiar. In time, you could develop a tumor. When Ace introduces himself to Ronald Camp, he adopts the undercover persona of a lawyer named Tom Ace. Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Camp, and congratulations on all your success.

You smell terrific. I was just telling Melissa that one of the first things we learned back at Stanford Law was the modern proliferation of food poisoning claims against wealthy private homeowners. In fact, if one were so inclined, one could make quite a lucrative law practice with little else. How is everyone feeling tonight? Jim Carrey is a master of physical comedy.

We see this in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective when he turns around and pretends to talk out of his butt. Understanding this joke requires a little background knowledge.
