The Hair Gel Scene in "There's Something About Mary"
The Farrelly brothers' 1998 comedy "There's Something About Mary" is full of outrageous gags, but one scene in particular has become a pop culture touchstone: Mary (Cameron Diaz) retrieving a glob of hair gel from behind Ted's (Ben Stiller) ear.
The scene's humor hinges on the absurdity of Ted, a private investigator with a thirteen-year crush on Mary, being completely oblivious to a foreign object lodged in his ear. However, Ben Stiller himself wasn't initially convinced.
According to interviews, Stiller expressed concern that audiences wouldn't find the obliviousness believable. He even suggested adding a scene explaining that Ted has some kind of ear condition, perhaps a lack of feeling, to justify him not noticing the hair gel.
Thankfully, the Farrelly brothers stuck to their guns. The scene's brilliance lies in its simplicity. Mary's casual request for "a little product" is met with Ted's goofy grin, completely unaware of the situation. The reveal of the hair gel, followed by Mary's equally nonchalant application, is pure comedic gold.
In the end, the Farrelly brothers' faith in the bit paid off. The scene remains a hilarious highlight of the film, a testament to the power of physical comedy and the occasional suspension of disbelief. It also serves as a reminder that sometimes, the funniest moments are the ones that seem most unlikely.
