 Synopses for The Cable Guy (1996)
1.Jim Carrey is Chip Douglas, cable installer. Raised on television sitcoms, he wants life to look just like My Three Sons. And when he meets single guy Steven Kovacs, he sees his chance for some serious male bonding. But Chip's idea of friendship - which includes physical assault, a game of "Porno Password" and a medieval joust - may be hazardous to Steven's health. In Chip's own words, "I can be your best friend... or your worst enemy."

2.When Steven Kovacs orders cable TV for his apartment, he has no idea how much he'll regret it. That's because the installer sent to his home is Chip Douglas, a lonely, lisping, parasitic geek, who just might be psychotic. Chip immediately bonds with vulnerable milquetoast Steve -- and then refuses to leave him alone. Chip's wild behavior proceeds to make his victim's life a living hell, and even jeopardizes Steve's attempt to reconcile with his girlfriend.

How far will Chip go... and will Steve ever put his foot down?
