BIOGRAPHY:

Farrelly was born in Cumberland, Rhode Island, the son of Mariann, a nurse practitioner, and Robert Leo Farrelly, a doctor. He is a graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

Bobby and his brother Peter Farrelly are known as Farrelly brothers. They have written, directed, and produced several comedy films (often involving scenes intended as "gross-out" humor) including There's Something About Mary, Dumb and Dumber, Kingpin, Shallow Hal, Me, Myself & Irene and Stuck on You. They also conceived the Seinfeld episode "The Virgin" (4.10).

In 2012, Bobby and his brother announced that the filming of the sequel to their smash hit Dumb and Dumber would begin in September 2012. (Wikipedia)
