" That's what you stepped in, that's what was on your shoe, and THAT EXPLAINS THE ABRASION ON YOUR PALM! DAMN I'M GOOD!!"."I CAME TO CONFESS! I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll!".Also, when he punches out the Monopoly Guy and wears him like a stole.Large Ham: Every moment Ace is on screen, Jim Carrey doesn't just chew scenery, he swallows every scene whole and goes back for seconds.He gets along with fellow animal lover Woodstock, for example, perfectly well. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ace is a annoying and clownish jerk to pretty much everyone, but he is a lot nicer to his animal friends.He starts his psuedo-opera note, and opens and closes the door about six times, just to prove that the door was soundproof, and to annoy Einhorn. Incredibly Long Note: In the first movie, Ace has some fun with a soundproof glass door.He's a PET detective and thus, the ones he is nicest to are ALL animals. A notable subversion if you realize where his loyalties lie. He literally talks out of his backside, is inherently immature and even sociopathic, but losing someone he was trying to save drives him into seclusion in a monastery. Good Is Not Nice: He's a send-up of this sort of character, whether intentionally or otherwise.Friend to All Living Things: He loves all animals.
Drives Like Crazy: In both films, more so in the second.As does "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" being used as nookie music.
The animals watching and reacting adds to the comedy.
