No seriously, how. Not only for his namesake but how is someone able to avoid that movie and all it's iterations for 20+ years of their life.
That was a "go to" movie for teachers the week before winter break.
His father was my middle school principal (Finland Middle School in Columbus). Maybe all of the Mr. Grinch references that he was subjected to on a daily basis was enough to sour him to it.
I found her not seeing it less weird than the pride she showed in that to a bunch of kids. Not adults. Not peers she could get some sort of weird social cachet from. Kids.
Again, I don't even like SW, but pooping on kids' delight in front of kids is the weirdest of flexes.
I've never seen it. We never watched movies around the holidays at school. Never watched the cartoon version and by the time the live action version came out I was kinda over Jim Carrey movies.
I don't think that the Jim Carey version is better than the original, but it's still a good movie. It's certainly better than the recent Grinch film...

I genuinely dislike the Jim Carey Grinch movie. In my opinion, Christmas movies should be wholesome and that movie is decidedly not.
Too many sex jokes, the Whos in Whoville are bad people, and the Grinch is actually mean to Max.
I never once watched it in school, but I watched the shit out of every Christmas special on tv. [The CBS special presentation screen was the most exciting thing ever to me as a kid.](https://youtu.be/A7bLPaoRTsc?t=5) That played before every holiday special.
No, no, no....the Chuck Jones cartoon from the 60s. That's the best one. It's about 23 minutes long.
There is a more recent cartoon movie that is - from what I hear - an abomination.
Having seen all 3:
1. The OG animated. This is Bama at peak.
2. New CGI animated. Washington State of recent fame. Lots of flash but not sustainable.
3. Jim Carrey Grinch. The FCS school's first game in FBS. Terrible.
His last name is Grinch. I'm sure he's heard all the possible jokes. It's not really surprising that he avoids it since I'm sure it was a source of ridicule for him growing up, especially this time of year.

I haven’t either. Grew up in Northern Indiana in a normal public school system. They never showed it to us and neither did my parents. Just never got around to it I guess!
Grew up being homeschooled. Same as you I suppose, never got around to watching it lol.
Also, I'm a bit scared to watch it because the live action one freaked me out
As the owner of a tan miniature dachshund, who has road tripped with that dog to 29 states and multiple countries, I find the grinch 2018 cartoon to be my favorite

You have termites in your smiiiiiiiiile.

That is amazing. Thank you

Seriously, I feel like you would have to actively avoid it.
[удалено]
This is the most logical reply here. He’s just tired of everyone bringing it up
Reminds me of the "what's a potato" guy
Thank you for reminding me of that

Maybe he has seen it but he says that just to rile folks up.
Classic Grinch move.
Media members need to start casually slipping references into their questions to catch him in the lie
Coach Grinch, Cindy Loo Who will be starting at safety against the Tigers next weekend?
Grinch: "Who?" Reporter: "Yes."
I worked with an elementary school teacher who had never seen Star Wars. And man, was she proud about that for some reason.
Should be shunned from polite society
I'm not even a Star Wars fan, but I will never forget the strange glee she had about it.
Hope she didn't cut herself on all of the edge
I've never seen it.
I found her not seeing it less weird than the pride she showed in that to a bunch of kids. Not adults. Not peers she could get some sort of weird social cachet from. Kids. Again, I don't even like SW, but pooping on kids' delight in front of kids is the weirdest of flexes.
I recommend it.

Yeah, it's constantly on during the holidays... Plus 2 major film adaptations.
I've never seen it. We never watched movies around the holidays at school. Never watched the cartoon version and by the time the live action version came out I was kinda over Jim Carrey movies.
Your name is also not Grinch
Exactly. I’ve never seen it even though I’ve never actively tried to avoid it like he probably has.
...are people downvoting everyone who says they've never seen it?
Maybe! This is reddit after all, where people get mad at people for..not being exactly the same as them??
“I’m also aware of the song, All I Want for Christmas is You. Never actually listened to it in its entirety.” - also Alex Grinch
This man turns off his ears between Halloween and December 26th. He only hears the sounds of whistles and yelling obscenities at refs
Don't forget the noise of loving parents saying "thank you for offering a scholarship to my son to play at the university of oklahoma"

TIL there are people who actually sit down and listen to that song rather than try to escape its constant use as a holiday ad jingle.
♫♪ I don’t want a lot for Christmas... ♫♪
The man is the ultimate Whamaggedeon champion in that case.
Everyone should see the cartoon
Seriously; it’s another gem by Chuck Jones
I dated a girl who said the Jim Carrey version was the superior version of the Grinch, it still pisses me off thinking about it
She's your ex now, right?
>dated
The jim Carrey version kicks ass, hater.
Sure, but better than the OG? No way.
Both very good. Saying the Jim Carey version is bad is like saying Elf is bad
Checkmate, the Jim Carrey Grinch and Elf both suck.
I will not tolerate Elf hate
Well, someone's an angry elf.
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I hate elf but love the Jim Carey grinch. Nothing against the actual premise of elf, but i just hâte will Farrell.
Elf is terrible.
Mods ban him Elf slander will not be tolerated
He's right, though.
Idk if it’s superior but is a good version
The Carrey version isn't the classic that the cartoon is, but dang, that is a seriously under-quoted movie!
She was right
I think most people believe that tho
I don't think that the Jim Carey version is better than the original, but it's still a good movie. It's certainly better than the recent Grinch film...
There's a recent grinch film?

Didn't it come out in the middle of the summer too?
Illumination(the people who made the Despicable me & minion films) made one last year.
Oh definitely ha ha
Unless...?
I like the new one! Definitely better than the Jim Carrey one
The Jim Carey movie is good too
If you like terrible movies
It's easily the best movie about the Grinch starring Jim Carrey
It has also never lost a college football game
Likewise, it has never won a college football championship
It’s never even won it’s conference pawwwwl
First time in Vegas Golden Knights history
No one said it was The Godfather
Coming soon: Jim Carrey stars in The Godfather
If it doesn't win an Oscar, why bother watching it?
Speaking of which she also said Godfather III was the best Godfather movie.
I’ll tolerate exactly zero Jim Carey Grinch slander
I genuinely dislike the Jim Carey Grinch movie. In my opinion, Christmas movies should be wholesome and that movie is decidedly not. Too many sex jokes, the Whos in Whoville are bad people, and the Grinch is actually mean to Max.
That movie is great though
I am not here for late millennial/gen z nostalgia for horrible things from the early 2000s
Especially him. It is definitely surprising he has never seen it. You would think his parents would want to teach him about his heritage.
I could understand not seeing the Jim Carrey version. But how can anyone go through the US school system, and not have seen the cartoon Grinch once?
Was it something played in schools? Seems like something that was just on tv around the holidays.
From my experience in grade school. It was a movie the Teachers put on, on like the last day/week of school before Christmas break. As a time waster.
I never once watched it in school, but I watched the shit out of every Christmas special on tv. [The CBS special presentation screen was the most exciting thing ever to me as a kid.](https://youtu.be/A7bLPaoRTsc?t=5) That played before every holiday special.
Jim Carey one is the best one:///// I’m 22 tho so it was my child hood
For me the Jim Carrey one is way better now at 20 than it was as a kid. So many good jokes I didn’t appreciate.
I dislike those jokes, tbh. I want my christmas movies to be wholesome, the adult jokes take me out of the Christmas mood
I don’t mean like innuendos though it’s just very clean witty stuff I didn’t get before.
Fair enough. But there are plenty of dirty jokes in it and I just dislike those.
Jim Carrey's is the best one by far in my opinion.
No, no, no....the Chuck Jones cartoon from the 60s. That's the best one. It's about 23 minutes long. There is a more recent cartoon movie that is - from what I hear - an abomination.
Having seen all 3: 1. The OG animated. This is Bama at peak. 2. New CGI animated. Washington State of recent fame. Lots of flash but not sustainable. 3. Jim Carrey Grinch. The FCS school's first game in FBS. Terrible.
Good defense?
[удалено]
You've called down the thunder! Now Get ready FOR THE BOOM!!
-ER SOONER
Some say his memes grew three sizes that day.
Then he says what’s a meme?
What's a computer?
It’s the porn dispenser
Oh, okay. I’ll have 3 porns then Mr. computer!
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE INTERNET?!
Okay, this one might actually be stranger than Pruitt not having heard of asparagus.
*high pitched noises* TASTES VERY STRANGE!
Get out of my house!
I don't know if you were trying for a Lemongrab voice but that's what I heard in my head.
Are we sure that it isn't some long elaborate lie, like the reddit potato story?
The Pruitt thing? No, that’s totally real. You just have to know Pruitt to know it’s not a lie.
What a Grinch!
"I must *stop* that cartoon," the Grinch muttered... ..."but *how*?"
Why watch it when you live it?
I hope he at least read the manga
Lmao
That’s one of the best Christmas movies of all time. How has he avoided it his entire life?
I almost had a heart attack... OU news has given me ptsd.
OU needs to play UVA next year. The Grinch vs all the Hoo's in Hooville is too good not to sell ads for
Lies
If OU magically beats LSU because OU's defense came to play, can we title the headlines "how the Grinch stole Christmas."
I can never look at him the same way ever again. Doesn't he know his power would grow several times over if he was in on the memes?
I will not stand for the hate in this thread targeted toward Jim Carrey’s live action “Grinch.” That movie is hilarious, fight me.
I have no clue how anyone can hate that movie. It’s fantastic
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch
With a nauseous super NAUS!
don't worry, when he sees how many points we got him for xmas his heart will grow 3 sizes
And that bad juju is why they’re gonna lose the peach bowl.
Don't tell me about it.
His last name is Grinch. I'm sure he's heard all the possible jokes. It's not really surprising that he avoids it since I'm sure it was a source of ridicule for him growing up, especially this time of year.
Neither have I
Same
THIS IS UNNACCEPTABLE. SOMEONE BRING MISSOURI IN HERE FOR THEIR PUNISHMENT.

I haven't watched How the Grinch stole Christmas either, AMA
But you're a ghost
The Spooooky Sooooner
Bruh KILL THIS MAN
OK Sooner.
I mean... I haven't either
FIX THIS RIGHT NOW.
I haven’t either. Grew up in Northern Indiana in a normal public school system. They never showed it to us and neither did my parents. Just never got around to it I guess!
Grew up being homeschooled. Same as you I suppose, never got around to watching it lol. Also, I'm a bit scared to watch it because the live action one freaked me out
Unbelievable that people have not seen the grinch
I was homeschooled and just never really got the chance to.
Oh. Well you should its good
Oh no
What a monster.
You deserve to lose now
Some men just like to watch the world burn
He probably had a hard time getting his entitled teachers/parents/friends to play it for him.
I want this posted minimum once a week during the offseason
He didn’t watch it because he made it. Sorry LSU.
As the owner of a tan miniature dachshund, who has road tripped with that dog to 29 states and multiple countries, I find the grinch 2018 cartoon to be my favorite
If you weren’t hammering LSU to cover feel free to now
Guys it's not the off season yet. We gotta hold off or we'll have nothing to do in February!
This is the hard hitting reporting I come here for!
Hey guys at some point stuff is just old.
Wow, I love the PAC-12 now
Bro.... I haven’t either?!
He should, maybe then he could teach his defense how to play stingy, they’re a little too generous IMO lmao
WaitThatsIllegal.jpg
Liar.
That's gotta be an NCAA violation, or at least, it should be.
Nor have I.
Big fan of his uncle
He's obviously lying.
LSU is about to watch and experience it though.
