The Cable Guy is a 1996 American satirical black comedy thriller film directed by Ben Stiller, written by Lou Holtz Jr. and starring Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick.[3] It was released in the United States on June 14, 1996. The film co-stars Leslie Mann, Jack Black, George Segal, Diane Baker, Eric Roberts, Owen Wilson, Janeane Garofalo, David Cross, and Andy Dick.[3]

In the film, Carrey plays an eccentric cable installer who becomes overly intrusive in the life of a customer, played by Broderick. The film was a box office success, though not to the extent of many of Carrey's previous films.[4] It received mixed reception from critics, but has since attained a cult following.[5][4][6]
