Jim Carrey (When Nature Calls)

[CorCentral]

The scene where Jim Carrey picks up 2 sticks and beats the mushrooms on the tree (like a drummer) Afterwards he yells......... We Love You Dark Continent...... GOODNIGHT!

What was Jim Carrey taking that from? Or was it made up?

 

[middlehead]

Probably just mocking how musicians tend to yell "WE LOVE YOU <city name>, GOODNIGHT!" at the end of a concert.

My all time favorite Jim Carrey movie...

The rhino scene is great.

I never got the Dark Continent reference either, but that does make sense...

It's not referring to race, but rather lighting. If you've ever seen map of the lighting conditions of the world you'll see that Africa is dark while a lot of the rest of the world has quite a bit of lights (with North America, Europe, and parts of Asia looking like they're full of lights).

This is what I'm referring to.

This is what I'm referring to.

In 19th Century Europe and the Western world, the area was sometimes referred to as "Black Africa." Africa as a whole was commonly known as "the Dark continent", a term that was usually intended to refer to the Sub-Saharan region. This was partly due to the skin color of its inhabitants and partly because much of it had not been fully mapped or explored by Westerners. These terms are now obsolete and often considered to be pejorative. Further, they are misleading, as dark-skinned Africans are indigenous to much of North Africa, as well.
