It's his comedic energy that makes his films entertaining, just like Robin Williams. And both have another thing in common; both proved they could act against their typecasting. Carrey proved this in Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind and Williams in Insomnia and One Hour Photo.

Sure, Carrey has not done many films against his type, although The Majestic also sounds like it's against his type. What it seems like to me is that you were a fan who got pissed at that incident, so you washed your hands of him.
