Dumb and Dumber (1994) Trivia Questions & Answers
- What is the name of Jim Carrey’s character in Dumb and Dumber?
Correct Answer: Lloyd Christmas
Jim Carrey plays Lloyd Christmas, the well-meaning but hopelessly dim-witted limo driver whose crush on a client (Mary Swanson) launches the duo’s entire misadventure. His awkward charm and over-the-top antics are central to the film’s humor, and Carrey’s performance helped solidify his status as a 90s comedy icon.
- What item does Mary Swanson accidentally leave at the airport that sets the plot in motion?
Correct Answer: A briefcase
Mary intentionally leaves a briefcase full of ransom money at the airport, but Lloyd believes she forgot it. He grabs it to return it to her, unknowingly getting involved in a kidnapping case. This briefcase becomes the comedic MacGuffin that drives the entire plot forward.
- Where are Lloyd and Harry traveling to in search of Mary?
Correct Answer: Aspen
After discovering Mary lives in Aspen, Colorado, Lloyd convinces Harry to go on a road trip to return the briefcase. Their cluelessness about geography and social cues makes their journey full of outrageous mishaps, including driving the wrong way for hours and spending their last dollars on “essentials” like a giant foam cowboy hat.
- What is the name of Harry’s pet that he accidentally kills and gives to a blind boy?
Correct Answer: Petey
Harry’s parakeet, Petey, dies when its head is accidentally torn off. In a moment of wildly inappropriate generosity, Harry tapes the head back on and sells the bird to a blind boy. This gag, dark as it is, became one of the film’s most notorious jokes — absurd and memorable.
- Which vehicle do Lloyd and Harry trade their van for on the way to Aspen?
Correct Answer: A mini-motorbike
In a classic moment of poor decision-making, the pair trade their beloved “Shaggin’ Wagon” for a tiny motorbike — all to finish their trip to Aspen. The image of the two riding the motorbike through the mountains in winter gear remains one of the most iconic visuals of the film.
- What is the name of the criminal who poses as Mary’s kidnapper?
Correct Answer: Nicholas Andre
Nicholas Andre is the film’s villain, orchestrating the ransom for Mary’s kidnapped husband. Despite being involved in a serious crime, his interactions with Lloyd and Harry veer into comedic territory due to their complete obliviousness to the danger they’re in.
- What disguise do Lloyd and Harry wear to the Aspen charity event?
Correct Answer: Blue and orange tuxedos
The duo shows up at a high-society function in ridiculous powder-blue and neon-orange tuxedos, complete with canes and top hats. The scene is a visual masterpiece of bad fashion and overconfidence — and perfectly encapsulates the absurd charm of the movie.
- What phrase does Lloyd famously say after Mary tells him there’s a “one in a million” chance they’ll be together?
Correct Answer: “So you’re telling me there’s a chance!”
This quote became one of the most beloved and quoted lines from the film — and Jim Carrey’s delivery is what seals the joke. Even in the face of hopeless odds, Lloyd’s optimism is hilariously unshakable, and it perfectly captures the film’s blend of cluelessness and heart.
- What does Harry accidentally shoot Lloyd with in the hotel room?
Correct Answer: A tranquilizer gun
In one of the movie’s most slapstick scenes, Harry shoots Lloyd in the chest with a tranquilizer dart while testing the equipment. The exaggerated reactions and timing make it a classic bit of physical comedy, and a reminder that in this film, even downtime leads to disaster.
- How does the movie end?
Correct Answer: Lloyd and Harry unknowingly reject a job offer from bikini models
In a perfect ending that stays true to their characters, the duo turn down an offer from a bus full of bikini models looking for oil boys — instead, they helpfully point them to the nearest town. The scene underlines their blissful ignorance and solidifies Dumb and Dumber’s reputation as a masterclass in comedic irony.
