The premise is obviously absurd; Dumb and Dumber is about as far from a drama and Oscar-worthiness is as it is from being an instructional video on how to perform neurosurgery. Which, first of all, is what makes it so great. And second of all, is why this trailer remix is so much fun. It really makes you appreciate the role of editing in the entertainment we consume.

Here's the description from the creators of this work of art:

What if the the classic 90s comedy Dumb and Dumber, featuring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, was actually shot as an intensely moving drama? We bet it would have swept the Academy Awards and decided to cut a trailer to prove it! Trailer Mix is a weekly series that re-imagines your favorite films as entirely different genres.

 

To be completely fair, I'd probably see this movie, too.
