If you ask people what the most universal language is you are likely to get a varied response. In this country you are likely to hear English a lot, but elsewhere they may beg to differ with French, Spanish and Chinese all having a say. However, none of these are truly Universal as people on Earth can't understand one another never mind alien races. The answer is mathematics. No matter where in the Universe you are everything will still boil down to binary and mathematics as there are universal truths that can not be broken.

When I heard Jim Carrey was starring in a thriller I wasn't sure he'd pull it off. He's one of the most comical men alive in my opinion and even when I've seen him talking seriously in interviews he just has one of those faces which looks like he's on the verge of telling a joke.
