@@gavinsheridan4680 thinking someone is being 100% serious about the words they say in the comments section of a TH-cam video is a pretty strong assumption 🤔
You're literally the first reactor I've ever seen who knew what Laverne & Shirley is and went bonkers for that sequence like I did when I first saw it. Fantastic reaction.
Just came here to say the same. Almost no one who reacts to this knows the old sitcom. But somehow...it doesn't surprise me than Shan knows of it. If anyone her age was gonna recognize L&S, its her 😁
6:04 - and *this* is where Mike Meyer's joke in _Bohemian Rhapsody_ comes from... "No one is going to be head-banging in the car to 'Bohemian Rhapsody!'"
Watching "tribal people react to a video" that was Bohemian Rhapsody. They don't speak english they really enjoyed the singing and harmonies. BUT when the break came they head banged with the best of them. Very funny.
I've long thought that Wayne's World was a takeoff of the characters in Bill and Ted's. When I saw Wayne's World on SNL, it quickly seemed to me like it was capitalizing on the popularity of the movie. Though, I could see Meyers and Carvey made the concept their own. It wasn't just a carbon copy, but I think the resemblance between the two can't be denied.
Meyers a actually fought the studio to get Bohemian Rhapsody. The head Bob moment became iconic. As a way to say thanks, Meyers got a Cameo in the Freddy Mercury Biopic.
Wayne's World Wayne's World!! This movie single-handedly created a whole new generation of Queen fans! Lots of cameos in this as well!' They're not dumb at all, just fun-loving and goofy!
Another great but often overlooked Mike Myers film is "So I Married an Axe Murderer" , he plays multiple characters in the film , and I believe it came out shortly after Wayne's World. I live in Milwaukee and love your channel, glad you had fun here, come back soon especially for Summerfest.
This movie had the same effect on the youth of the day as Bill And Ted and TMNT. Slang words, speech patterns and general behaviour, all the kids were copying them. Golden age of the late 80s and early 90s :D
Tia Carrere is definitely a well established actress and yea she is awesome (If I recall correctly, she's Chinese and Filipino and is supposed to have a show about how she is the "Tita" which means "Auntie" (it's an honorific) in her Filipino family)
About the time this movie came out, my stepdad had a restored Rolls Royce he picked up cheap. He didn't drive it much because it wasn't very practical. But, when he did - he kept a jar of Grey Poupon in the glove box because he regularly had jokesters come up and try this prank, and he liked the looks on their face when he was able to respond "But of course!"
When i was in middle school growing up in a small town, we visited my relatives in Northern California and went to Pebble Beach golf club. There was a stretched limo in parking lot; i peeked in the window and saw a jar of grey poupon on the table
@@pebblesanddirt - And the mustard wasn't even that expensive. My grandfather was a penny pincher, and he always had some in the 'fridge. I think the ad was about how it tasted. They were trying to make it out like it was the premiere mustard, high-quality.
They used the Grey Poupon bit for the official Preview. I remember sitting in the audience and thinking "Why is there a Grey Poupon Commercial during the movie preview???" When Mike's head pops out and ask for the GP like in the commercial the audience took a collective confused pause and then burst into laughter when we realized it was a joke. Good bit. The T2 reference did the same thing. Before the internet, previews were the spot for reveals. I can't remember what movie I was watching, but I distinctly remember when the preview for Empire Strikes Back came out that the whole audience was stunned silent for a long second before erupting in cheers.
During lockdown, Josh Gad did a series of cast reunion zoom calls…..all of which are excellent. But the Wayne’s World reunion is one of the highlights, due to the fact that Brian May & Roger Taylor from Queen take part. May recalls how prior to Freddie Mercury’s death, he’d managed to get a tape of the film & took it to show Freddie; who at the time was in hospital. Mercury loved the film!!! Mike Myers was visibly moved upon hearing this tale, as he’d been totally unaware Freddie had seen the film. Fast forward several years & Mike Myers appeared in the Queen biopic. Please make sure you watch Wayne’s World 2!!! Oh & btw, Mike Myers reaction to Garth’s question about Bugs Bunny was genuine.
Just so you know: You watched the version where they replaced Wayne actually playing the first notes of Stairway with just noise. The joke obviously works much better when he actually play the first notes of Stairway to Heaven.
If I remember right, the filmmakers weren't even forced to make the change, just got nervous in post and decided to hedge their bets. I don't blame them, LZ is notoriously litigious, but the joke led me, who watched this repeatedly as a kid, to be extremely confused when I finally heard Stairway for the first time and it sounded nothing like what Wayne played, lol.
The actress who played garth's "Dream girl" is Dan Aykroyd's wife in real life. I grew up watching the wayne's World sketch on snL, and a lot of the bits from the sketch made their way into this movie.
I always interpreted the subtitle joke as Wayne was supposed to continue speaking cantonese but Mike Myers not being able to so Wayne is just waiting the appropriate amount of time for the subtitles to translate.
you would not believe how much parents in the early 90s hated this movie. Not because of objectional content, but because the kids quoted it incessantly, and we got "NOT!" (which was so prevalent)
Not! was a catchphrase long before this movie in certain circles… Scott Ian of Anthrax was saying it so much during the late 80s that the was a cartoon logo of NotMan associated with him and it shows up in the Among The Living album. He said it was something that people around him had been saying and he adopted it. Yes, the fact that this has been attributed to Wayne’s World when it had been around for at least five years before is one of those weird little offenses that still bugs me over 30 years later. If you’ll excuse me, the guys with the white coats and butterfly nets are at my door and said I need to come with them.
This movie is essentially Mike Myers' love note to his hometown Canadian roots with "a suburb of Chicago", Stan Mikita's Donuts standing in for Scarborough, a suburb of Toronto and Tim Horton's Donuts. Even the bar they go to, The Gasworks, was named after a similar rock venue that used to be in Toronto in the 80's. I used to be able to quote every line of this movie, back when I really didn't even know what the lines meant. "A sphincter says what?" was not a joke I even understood until it was too late...
I remember when I went with my wife to see this. Once they got to the car scene, she grouchily looked at me & said “This is just you & your friends.” We divorced a couple years later, lol.
Fun Fact: Wayne laughing when Garth asked about finding Bugs Bunny attractive was 100% real. Mike Myers completely broke character and they kept it in.
Apparently there was a lot more to that scene. Dana Carvey was improvising really outrageous and vulgar stuff and they just cut around it. But yes the laugh is completely genuine
@@dustywaynemusic6297 Also, if I'm not mistaken, that was one of the last things they shot, so the cast and crew were all basically exhausted, so the reactions are a lot more real.
Road Hockey is a nod to Mike Meyers' Canadian upbringing, where it's actually a thing (but usually played with more than two players). You play on the street with a hockey net, sticks, and a tennis ball. And if a car comes along, someone yells "Car!" and play immediately stops. All players leave the street, taking the hockey net with them. After the car passes, the nets are restored and everyone goes back to the EXACT position they were in prior to the stoppage. Then someone yells "Game on!" and the game resumes as if never interrupted.
I spent a week on the donut shop set, in Inglewood California. My mother's best friend was the script supervisor on the movie. The Foxy Ladie bit took forever due to everyone laughing through all the takes. He kept changing it, and every time it was funnier then the last. The donut shop was originally a flower shop that the changed into the donut shop for both movies. I loved this movie. And Mike A Danna were awesome to hang out with. In between takes. They just hung out. Another piece of info is because the place was a flower shop, they could not control the ants that were out of control on set. They were after all the donuts in the glass cases.
@@ShanelleRiccio The whole donut shop is also a reference. In canada we have "Tim Hortons", a donut shop chain named after a hockey player. So MM added "Stan Makita's" as a nod to that
About the subtitle joke, I always took it as he said a few words in Cantonese that meant a lot and it took a little bit longer for the subtitles to catch up, so the actors had to wait a bit.
My theory is al bundy finally snapped one day at the shoe store, smothered griff with a size 10 shoe then went home and took an axe to peg, jefferson and marcy before going into hiding and posing as a donut shop owner in aurora It explains everything really
I loved the transition from skit to film, because they didn't try to do too much with it, which was the case with most SNL "character" movies. Blue Brothers being another obvious exception, that they DID do too much, but did it to perfection. They didn't take themselves too seriously and had fun and made a helluva fun movie.
Though you were focused on the one-take shot Shan, I love Ed O'Neil taking over the camera when they go to the donut shop. His dark soliloquy is so bizarre and gets cut off perfectly. The way they play with the constant 4th wall breaks is a lot of fun "Only Garth and I can talk to the camera!"
This was my first date with my wife. I knew she wanted to see it. Even though I didn't, I asked her out. Here we are 32 years later. It is funny to watch movies like this with pop culture references that younger audiences miss. Like the Grey Poupon reference. Or the state of the world at the time, like it being pre-TH-cam and doing a show like that was a rare thing. Like The Truman Show coming out before the reality TV boom. Or the movie The Net when Sandra Bullock orders a pizza thru her computer. Everyone does it all the time now. But back then it was unheard of.
I remember seeing this in the theater. Bohemian Rhapsody became HUGE after this. I don’t honestly remember hearing it anywhere before this movie. It’s such a staple at karaoke etc because of this movie.
Yes, that cop was the T-1000 Terminator. Brian May was interviewed on NPR a couple years ago and he was asked about Bohemian Rhapsody being used in this movie. He said basically the same thing you read, that it reignited Queen's popularity in the US and put the song back on the charts. The 90s were probably the high point of Tia Carrere"s career, with this film, True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, and Michael Crichton's Rising Sun with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes. She also starred in a syndicated Tomb Raider rip-off called Relic Hunter. It was pretty bad, but I watched it because I had a bit of a crush on her at the time :)
Wayne's house they used is on the otherside of the block were my Dad lives ( on Shoshone Ave.) in Van Nuys/ Lake balboa on Texhoma Ave.and that garage, is in same area on White Oak an Sherman Way. Cool reaction !
Oh God, I LOVED this film when it came out in the UK. It was one of those films that everyone saw and was quoting. To this day, if I see something I like or want, I always say "It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine". Glad you liked the Pralines and Dick line too :)
Wayne first appeared in 1987 on a CBC (Canadian) show called It's Only Rock N Roll in a segment called Wayne's Power Minute. It wasn't until 1989 that they first appeared on SNL.
My absolute favorite scene is when Alice Cooper puts his hand out as if to let them kiss the ring when they’re bowing to him 😂😂😂 Just such a natural reaction
Watch Bohemian Rhapsody and the part where the record executive says "I want a song kids can bang their heads to in the car and Bohemian Rhapsody will never be that song" that character is played by Mike Myers, who showed the clip from Wayne's World to Freddy Mercury before he passed, and Freddy loved it
These era films. It's cool though what they could get greenlit then. Like sketch comedy like this would skyrocket and be all over t-shirts and such. I can't picture say SNL having such ease in doing it these days. I think about Coneheads as well, absolutely love the creativity in that one. It must have have been so much fun making this one.
This movie was part of a promo deal at McDonalds. Buy a large meal, get a VHS for like $5. I can't remember what other options there were. Addams Family, maybe? Regardless, it became one of the staple movies of my childhood because we owned it. The soundtrack to this movie was the first album I ever bought.
20:15 So, this is an "all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares" thing. Champagne is a type of sparkling white wine, with a Protected Designation of Origin. But it's even more specific than just the regional production; you have to use only specific grape varieties, press them a certain way and the carbonation has to be from secondary fermentation in the bottle (plus other stuff). There are other white sparkling wines that are region/grape variety/whatever specific, with lower legal protections for the name, like cava, prosecco, or sekt, and you're generally paying less for the name on the bottle for a fairly similar level of quality product with those.
I recall coming out of the cinema having seen this at the time and just being in the best mood ever. Such a fun. silly, cheerful, bizarre world they created.
Another step in Mike Meyer's career (between SNL and Austin Powers) is So I Married an Axe Murderer. It's a MUST SEE!!!! And, yes, in 90's interior design, there must be some sort of plant in every room.
Not only did Tia Carrere do all of her own singing, but she is actually a Grammy award winning singer. I had no idea about any of this until a few years ago. All these years I had assumed that her vocals were done by another singer.
@@iamaronman👍 I know of a couple of people who've deluded themselves into believing their gifted accolade is just as meritorious as the other earned. 🧐
This movie introduced me to the song Bohemian Rhapsody. The doughnut shop was based on Tim Hortons. Recommendation for another film with Kurt Fuller; "No Holds Barred" (1989)
This movie came out when I was like 10 and I still quote it regularly. I even have the same "no stairway" sign in my studio downstairs hanging next to my white fender stratocaster.
You should find the Mike Meyers directed documentary called SUPERMENCH about Shep Gordon who is Mike's long time manager and friend. He started out managing ALICE COOPER and went on to manage many Hollywood stars.
I worked in a movie theater from 1990-1994 and saw this movie more times than I can count. There were so many good movies that came out during those 5 years....
Not that it’s of any consequence, but there is a small scene at the end of the credits. Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz has been covered a few times. The joke with Alice Cooper is that he was a crazy rocker in the 70’s and by the 90’s he was clean and sober and so when he does the dialogue about Milwaukee that’s in contrast to what he used to be and how rock stars partied
Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo (born January 2, 1967), known professionally as Tia Carrere (/kəˈrɛər/), is an American actress and singer who got her first big break as a regular on the daytime soap opera General Hospital. Carrere played Cassandra Wong in the feature films Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2; Juno Skinner in True Lies; Nani Pelekai in the Lilo & Stitch films and TV series; Queen Tyr'ahnee in Duck Dodgers; Richard Lewis's girlfriend, Cha Cha, in Curb Your Enthusiasm; and starred as Sydney Fox in the television series Relic Hunter, as well as Lady Danger opposite RuPaul in Netflix's AJ and the Queen. Carrere also appeared as a contestant in the second season of Dancing with the Stars and the fifth season of The Celebrity Apprentice. In addition to acting, Carrere has won two Grammy Awards for her music.
If you look closely at the headbanging scene during Bohemian Rhapsody, you'll see the actors moving their bodies in time with the head nods. That's because there were numerous retakes, and the actors were starting to get headaches.
Not everyone will agree, but I feel sequel was better. I remember an interview with Mike Meyers where they filmed movie and presented it, but movie was just 30 min. Studio said movies are 90 min. So they reshot some scenes and it was still only 60 min. They finally got it to 90 min, but that should tell anyone that an hour of the movie was filler. 2nd one had nice character development and I thought movie was much funnier. This movie is not bad, but I enjoyed the sequel much more.
I believe this informed a couple of future TV shows biggest bits. The use of "That's what she said" (later used by Michael Scott on the Office which he was quoting from this movie), and Rob Lowe's use of "Literally", which his character would go on to use A LOT on Parks & Recreation.
No one mentions it, but the donut shop with the hockey player on the roof is obviously a reference to Tim Horton's, which was still just a Canadian thing when this movie was made. And street hockey? Although Mike Myers has gained a reputation of being difficult to work with, I once worked a Dana Carvey stand-up show back during the peak of his SNL career. I was the house electrician, and he called me, the follow spot op. and the sound guy into his dressing room to explain the cues to us. I found him to be funny, self-effacing, and as pleasant as you'd hope he would be. Some celebs (as you know) are jerks, but he was a really nice guy who just seemed happy to be able to do a show for people.
But, Shannnnnnn!?! You didn't headbang. I mean, your hair looks lovely, but you couldn't make the sacrifice to flip it all over the place? 😂 I was totally waiting for it, and when you didn't do it, I almost cried 😢 from disappointment. Always love your reactions 🤘🥰 (sorry, I couldn't resist ribbing you 😆😘
I can't wait for you to see Tommy Boy now. Chris Farley was a comedy juggernaut. He was my favorite growing up and it was devastating when he passed away.
I remember quoting this movie - she will be mine - oh yes she will be mine part to a friend about someone I had seen - especially as she had a similar look to Tia - Did wonder at the time - but we've been married nearly 24 years.
Given that Shanelle didn't know Tia Carrere (not that she's super famous or anything), but I realized that she needs to watch True Lies!
She HAS (for the podcast), making her not recognizing her that much more appalling.

This was my first date with my wife. I knew she wanted to see it. Even though I didn't, I asked her out. Here we are 32 years later.
It is funny to watch movies like this with pop culture references that younger audiences miss. Like the Grey Poupon reference.
Or the state of the world at the time, like it being pre-TH-cam and doing a show like that was a rare thing. Like The Truman Show coming out before the reality TV boom. Or the movie The Net when Sandra Bullock orders a pizza thru her computer. Everyone does it all the time now. But back then it was unheard of.
During the movie I thought you got the grey poupon commercial joke. It ran in the 80s & 90s It's, All over TH-cam If you want a reference
dude.... serious?! you never saw this? WOW. This shaped my childhood and was my introduction to Queen.
I remember seeing this in the theater. Bohemian Rhapsody became HUGE after this. I don’t honestly remember hearing it anywhere before this movie. It’s such a staple at karaoke etc because of this movie.
20:24 - It is. It's the same for Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. If it's not from that region in Italy, it's just...cheese. 🧐
Thank you so much for immediately realizing she’s wearing a “Wayne” necklace.
Great movie. Bravo you are the first reactor to recognize Lavern and Shirley
Yes, that cop was the T-1000 Terminator.
Brian May was interviewed on NPR a couple years ago and he was asked about Bohemian Rhapsody being used in this movie. He said basically the same thing you read, that it reignited Queen's popularity in the US and put the song back on the charts.
The 90s were probably the high point of Tia Carrere"s career, with this film, True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis, and Michael Crichton's Rising Sun with Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes. She also starred in a syndicated Tomb Raider rip-off called Relic Hunter. It was pretty bad, but I watched it because I had a bit of a crush on her at the time :)
Stan Makita's is a reference to Tim Horton's. Both were hockey players, but the latter actually has a real donut shop chain named after him.
Wayne's house they used is on the otherside of the block were my Dad lives ( on Shoshone Ave.) in Van Nuys/ Lake balboa on Texhoma Ave.and that garage, is in same area on White Oak an Sherman Way. Cool reaction !
22:47 Bet "Both Shrek's in one shot" wasn't on your bingo card for things happening in this movie.
Hearing that That 70's Show was your favorite show ever just made my day
'70s
@@bobbabai you seem like fun
The guy talking about the shityt Beatles, was Meatloaf himself - look him up.
Oh God, I LOVED this film when it came out in the UK. It was one of those films that everyone saw and was quoting. To this day, if I see something I like or want, I always say "It will be mine. Oh yes. It will be mine". Glad you liked the Pralines and Dick line too :)
"Look forward Stace!"
That's model/actress Lara Flynn Boyle as Stacy. She's super cute here, and has some hilarious pratfalls.
Men in Black 2...
Wayne first appeared in 1987 on a CBC (Canadian) show called It's Only Rock N Roll in a segment called Wayne's Power Minute. It wasn't until 1989 that they first appeared on SNL.
Frank Sharp is played by Frank DiLeo who also played Tuddy Cicero in Goodfellas and was also Michael Jackson's manager.
Finally someone who recognizes the L&S bit and actually appreciates it :)
It was filmed in both Los Angeles and Chicago.
My job title is Change Analyst, and our official t-shirt is Garth saying 'We fear Change.'
My absolute favorite scene is when Alice Cooper puts his hand out as if to let them kiss the ring when they’re bowing to him 😂😂😂 Just such a natural reaction
There are so many Toronto and Scarborough (suburb) in-jokes in this film. Crucial Taunt was an actual band my old bandmate was in.
Watch Bohemian Rhapsody and the part where the record executive says "I want a song kids can bang their heads to in the car and Bohemian Rhapsody will never be that song" that character is played by Mike Myers, who showed the clip from Wayne's World to Freddy Mercury before he passed, and Freddy loved it
*Freddie
Thank you for being the only person so far to actually get the laverne and Shirley reference. I love you for that
These era films. It's cool though what they could get greenlit then. Like sketch comedy like this would skyrocket and be all over t-shirts and such. I can't picture say SNL having such ease in doing it these days. I think about Coneheads as well, absolutely love the creativity in that one. It must have have been so much fun making this one.
22:42 - Yep, that's Fahrley.
Rob Lowe and Ione Skye.
Ione was teamed up with John Cusack in the extraordinary movie - SAY ANYTHING.
FINALLY! someone got the Laverne and Shirley reference.
This movie was part of a promo deal at McDonalds. Buy a large meal, get a VHS for like $5. I can't remember what other options there were. Addams Family, maybe? Regardless, it became one of the staple movies of my childhood because we owned it.
The soundtrack to this movie was the first album I ever bought.
"So they're kinda idiots? Half idiots? They're idiots. " lol
I live right by the 90 exit that says Milwaukee and they go, “Look! We’re almost there!”
Cracks me up consistently on my commute :)
20:15 So, this is an "all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares" thing. Champagne is a type of sparkling white wine, with a Protected Designation of Origin. But it's even more specific than just the regional production; you have to use only specific grape varieties, press them a certain way and the carbonation has to be from secondary fermentation in the bottle (plus other stuff).
There are other white sparkling wines that are region/grape variety/whatever specific, with lower legal protections for the name, like cava, prosecco, or sekt, and you're generally paying less for the name on the bottle for a fairly similar level of quality product with those.
I recall coming out of the cinema having seen this at the time and just being in the best mood ever. Such a fun. silly, cheerful, bizarre world they created.
Another step in Mike Meyer's career (between SNL and Austin Powers) is So I Married an Axe Murderer. It's a MUST SEE!!!! And, yes, in 90's interior design, there must be some sort of plant in every room.
You were in Milwaukee?? Why did I not know this?? You gotta let us know ahead of time! Milwaukee born and bred here. 😊
Not only did Tia Carrere do all of her own singing, but she is actually a Grammy award winning singer. I had no idea about any of this until a few years ago. All these years I had assumed that her vocals were done by another singer.
The funny part about Alice Cooper is he actually went to college to study history and i think he has a PHD in history.
He also played golf every week with Glen Campbell.
Yah, that was just Vincent Furnier being himself.
He was awarded an honorary doctorate, not a PhD.
@@thewonkyembouchure ah that's right, I couldn't remember
@@iamaronman👍 I know of a couple of people who've deluded themselves into believing their gifted accolade is just as meritorious as the other earned. 🧐
11:24 I wonder if Rob Lowe’s character in Parks and Rec constantly saying “literally” was a reference to this
About time you did some comedy again 👍
The dialogue in this movie is amazing and the film is a perfect watch for you Shanelle
This movie introduced me to the song Bohemian Rhapsody. The doughnut shop was based on Tim Hortons. Recommendation for another film with Kurt Fuller; "No Holds Barred" (1989)
This movie came out when I was like 10 and I still quote it regularly. I even have the same "no stairway" sign in my studio downstairs hanging next to my white fender stratocaster.
You should find the Mike Meyers directed documentary called SUPERMENCH about Shep Gordon who is Mike's long time manager and friend. He started out managing ALICE COOPER and went on to manage many Hollywood stars.
I worked in a movie theater from 1990-1994 and saw this movie more times than I can count. There were so many good movies that came out during those 5 years....
The girl band is a real group. Cassandra is really singing these songs. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸 💖 ❤❤
The fact that this is your first time watching Wayne's World makes me feel old; I was still in elementary school the first time I saw this.
Definitely my introduction to Queen and we still use the “gun rack” bit to this day. You definitely have to watch Wayne World 2 now.
Not that it’s of any consequence, but there is a small scene at the end of the credits. Sweet’s Ballroom Blitz has been covered a few times. The joke with Alice Cooper is that he was a crazy rocker in the 70’s and by the 90’s he was clean and sober and so when he does the dialogue about Milwaukee that’s in contrast to what he used to be and how rock stars partied
the subtitles joke was that he said a few words but it expressed many sentences.
Back in the 80's and early 90's Pizza Hut sponsored practically everything.
Althea Rae Duhinio Janairo (born January 2, 1967), known professionally as Tia Carrere (/kəˈrɛər/), is an American actress and singer who got her first big break as a regular on the daytime soap opera General Hospital.
Carrere played Cassandra Wong in the feature films Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2; Juno Skinner in True Lies; Nani Pelekai in the Lilo & Stitch films and TV series; Queen Tyr'ahnee in Duck Dodgers; Richard Lewis's girlfriend, Cha Cha, in Curb Your Enthusiasm; and starred as Sydney Fox in the television series Relic Hunter, as well as Lady Danger opposite RuPaul in Netflix's AJ and the Queen. Carrere also appeared as a contestant in the second season of Dancing with the Stars and the fifth season of The Celebrity Apprentice. In addition to acting, Carrere has won two Grammy Awards for her music.
If you look closely at the headbanging scene during Bohemian Rhapsody, you'll see the actors moving their bodies in time with the head nods. That's because there were numerous retakes, and the actors were starting to get headaches.
You should check out "Airheads", very similar vibe to this but with Brendan Fraser - Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi. Totally excellent
Not everyone will agree, but I feel sequel was better. I remember an interview with Mike Meyers where they filmed movie and presented it, but movie was just 30 min. Studio said movies are 90 min. So they reshot some scenes and it was still only 60 min. They finally got it to 90 min, but that should tell anyone that an hour of the movie was filler. 2nd one had nice character development and I thought movie was much funnier. This movie is not bad, but I enjoyed the sequel much more.
Check out the official Feed My Frankenstein music video.
I believe this informed a couple of future TV shows biggest bits. The use of "That's what she said" (later used by Michael Scott on the Office which he was quoting from this movie), and Rob Lowe's use of "Literally", which his character would go on to use A LOT on Parks & Recreation.
No one mentions it, but the donut shop with the hockey player on the roof is obviously a reference to Tim Horton's, which was still just a Canadian thing when this movie was made. And street hockey? Although Mike Myers has gained a reputation of being difficult to work with, I once worked a Dana Carvey stand-up show back during the peak of his SNL career. I was the house electrician, and he called me, the follow spot op. and the sound guy into his dressing room to explain the cues to us. I found him to be funny, self-effacing, and as pleasant as you'd hope he would be. Some celebs (as you know) are jerks, but he was a really nice guy who just seemed happy to be able to do a show for people.
Stan Makita's is a reference to Tim Horton's, Chicago style.
No, Dana Carvy is so Dana Carvy in Master of Disguise 😂. You can react to how terrible it is. I absolutely love it.
32 years ago. I remember it like yesterday. No idea what I did this morning.
But, Shannnnnnn!?! You didn't headbang. I mean, your hair looks lovely, but you couldn't make the sacrifice to flip it all over the place? 😂 I was totally waiting for it, and when you didn't do it, I almost cried 😢 from disappointment.
Always love your reactions 🤘🥰 (sorry, I couldn't resist ribbing you 😆😘
The Suck Cut is a rip-off of the Flowbee that was a hair cutting machine that hooked up to your vacuum cleaner.
It makes me feel really old that very few, if any reactors are old enough to actually get the "Grey Poupon" bit.
I can't wait for you to see Tommy Boy now. Chris Farley was a comedy juggernaut. He was my favorite growing up and it was devastating when he passed away.
I remember quoting this movie - she will be mine - oh yes she will be mine part to a friend about someone I had seen - especially as she had a similar look to Tia - Did wonder at the time - but we've been married nearly 24 years.
Glad you loved Milwaukee. I live 15 minutes west :)
