While Irene was an orphan, her uncle Constantine Sarantapechos was a patrician and possibly strategos (commander of the theme) of the Helladics; his son and her nephew Theophylact, a spatharius -- presumably appointed by Irene herself -- is mentioned in connection with the suppression of a revolt centering around Constantine V's sons in 799.

 Me, Myself & Irene: Cinephiles Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Me, Myself and Irene clearly relies on Carrey's physical comedy and on his portrayals of the extremely passive and victimized Charly and the rambunctious, vulgar and sexually driven Hank.
Me, Myself and Irene pushes its "politically incorrect" agenda by defining its targeted characters --a hotheaded dwarf, a timid albino, Charly's overweight fl sons, tortured animals, and a moronic-sounding narrator-- as laughable representations.
Consequently, Me, Myself and Irene exemplifies a debasement of comedy, where the excitability caused by such issues as racial prejudice, disease, animal cruelty, and masturbation is exploited for the sake of provoking the viewer.
