** Also Lloyd and Harry are both supposed to be in their late 20s in ''Film/DumbAndDumber''. Creator/JimCarrey was close enough to that age, having been 31 when he made the movie, but Creator/JeffDaniels was 38 meaning he'd have been about 10 years older than Harry. This is doubly true in ''Film/DumbAndDumberTo'' where Creator/KathleenTurner played Frada Felcher, who would've been in her late 40s at the time, at the age of 59.

* CreatorKiller: Thanks to the Disney/ABC deal killing any chance at success it had, the ''Dumb and Dumber'' cartoon would be the last Saturday morning cartoon made by Creator/HannaBarbera, which spent the rest of its (official) existence primarily as a production house for Creator/CartoonNetwork.

** [[spoiler:An entire subplot was filmed involving Mary's kidnapped husband Bobby being kept in a wooden shipping crate, but was ultimately discarded.

-->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.
