From his imaginary deity ‘Baba’ to his anti-vaxxer proselytizing, the ‘90s comedy legend Jim Carrey’s bizarre behavior has reached a fever pitch.

Jim Carrey is the latest ’90s star to fall from grace. The Ace Ventura actor and former comedy kingpin is acting like he’s been hit in the head with Diddy’s kettlebell.

And while Carrey and McCarthy called it quits back in 2010, the passage of time has only stoked their mutual passion for unsubstantiated scientific rhetoric and objectively harmful public policies.

The famous impressionist took to Twitter to do his best impression of a crazy old guy walking up and down the block, handing out pamphlets and refusing to pick up after his dog. Greatest hits from the social media rant include calling California Governor Jerry Brown a “corporate fascist that must be stopped,” and “California Gov says yes to poisoning more children with mercury and aluminum in manditory [sic] vaccines.” After pausing to high five a million angels, Carrey came in for his encore, accusing the CDC of corruption.
