His Joker like hairstyle (maybe personality-like also?) from Number 23 and his laugh from Batman Forever as Riddler or maybe Truman Show?
There is compilation of his other types of laughs and I think he could pull it off.

he has TDS and multiple STD's... and he drove his girlfriend to suicide..
so the answer to your question is definitely: YES
He could. He's an excellent dramatic actor when he's kept from running wild, he has the look of someone so beyond the bend that he's about to shoot up a McDonalds, and has a reputation for being batshit in real life.
All it would take to make him into an excellent Joker is a director who could cope with him, and a script that would explain why the Joker is pushing sixty.
he wouldn't be able to pull it off, he's to intense, over-the-top
shareI think Carrey is a different type of crazy, he is more the out there obvious type. The Joker has a seething undercurrent of crazy.
Robin Williams though if he were still around, I think he could have pulled it off quite well. I saw a documentary on him a little while ago and every now and again you can see the depression and despair in him. That could be with the benefit of hindsight but I think he had the same kind of mental state.
"I think Carrey is a different type of crazy, he is more the out there obvious type. The Joker has a seething undercurrent of crazy."
I agree.
He was more crazy in a hyper-eccentric sort of a way. It worked for things like The Mask, but not sure if he could've pulled off the evil side to The Joker as well.
Not saying he'd have been bad. More that he'd fit into more of a campy version of Batman as oppose to a darker one.
Yep, I know he wasn't playing a crazy guy in this example but I still think it's a good example. If you have seen "The Dead Pool" where he plays the rock star, his performance when filming the music video is just so over the top. Fair enough it was a time of over the top rock stars but he just couldn't help to send it up rather than be somewhat realistic. I think he would do the same here.
shareTo be fair, I haven't seen that.
I guess The Cable Guy was another example of him doing more dark and crazy. Though obviously, that's a million miles away from The Joker.
He was still really silly in Cable Guy,not Joker Crazy and like others say hes over the top
For J you need to have charm,charisma and of course be crazy.
He can do "seething undercurrent of crazy", as well as over the top lunacy.
I recommend the little-known gem "I Love You, Phillip Morris", for anyone who wants to see Carrey play a criminal with all the screws loose, but who can still pass for normal.
I keep thinking that Jim Carrey of today is a bit like joker - very disturbing paintings, seems bipolar -
shareI feel Tracy Morgan can pull it off.
shareIt couldn't be worse than his Riddler.
