About the So You're Telling Me There's A Chance Meme
Jim Carrey as Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber, face alight with pure, unearned optimism. He's just been told the odds are one in a million, and instead of despair, he radiates hope. The scene captures the very human tendency to cherry-pick the only interpretation of terrible news that involves things working out perfectly.
From the 1994 film Dumb and Dumber. Lloyd Christmas asks Mary Swanson what his chances are with her and she says "Not good. Like one in a million." His face lights up and he responds, "So you're saying there's a chance." The clip became a meme template around 2014, used for any situation where someone holds onto an absurdly optimistic reading of terrible odds. For equally irrational confidence, see Change My Mind. For the slow creep of hope turning to dread, see Anakin Padme 4 Panel.
