Glenn's story is that he moonlights as a woman's shoe salesman on the weekends and his wife and two kids and chicken of a neighbor drive him up the wall ;)
And in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody Mike Myers played the record company executive that said teenagers would never bang their heads in their cars to Bohemian Rhapsody.
May said that he showed Mercury a copy of Wayne’s World near the end of his life. Mercury would die Nov. 24, 1991 months before the release of the film.
Lately Penelope Spheeris expressed her skepticism that Freddie could have seen the movie since it was being edited up until past when Freddie died... I don't know, though, the story Sir Brian May told was that Freddie had seen the scene, not the movie, so I think it's possible.
Wonder where the blues brothers car is? The Wayne's world car was sold on pawn stars, they bought it, restored it and sold it again, they even restored the twizzler dispenser in the roof
The "No Stairway To Heaven" sign was actually their way of getting around copyright. They wanted to use the song, but couldn't afford it. So they had that sign to make a joke with trying to play the song.
that... is not correct at all. It was in the original theatrical release, then afterward Zeppelin and WMG denied any music being used even a few notes - the director was then told they played too many notes in that scene, like anything more than 2 notes would be 100k - and they had to edit in something different REALLY quick - like insanely quick - to where if you caught it in its LATER theatrical run, stairway wasn't in it. All VHS/DVD versions have the non-stairway music in it - but you can find a faked edit that restores the original gag with the first 4 notes of stairway.
When Mike Myers played the EMI executive Ray Foster in the Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody (2018), he's dubious about releasing 'Bohemian Rhapsody' as a single. He states, "What about 'I'm in Love with My Car'? I love that! That's the kind of song teenagers can crank up the volume in their cars and bang their heads to...Bohemian Rhapsody will never be that song." That (special for him written line) was the reason he took that role.
Welcome to the Jungle is another riff that I would tire of in a music shop.... Smoke On The Water, Sweet Home Alabama, Back In Black, and Seven Nation Army are others... OH you all should check out Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Garth's dog had no name in the script, I would name her Ozzy Pawsborn (The Prince of Barkness)
Our local rock radio station took the "No Stairway" thing & ran with it--for more than a decade they refused to play either that song or "Free Bird". The only exception was during their annual charity fundraising weekend--you could request any song in their current rotation for a $5 donation, any (rock) song in the station's library for $20, any song from any genre for $50, a song by your own band for $100, or both Stairway & Free Bird back-to-back for $500. 😂
Have you ever watched the interview with Ed O’Neill on how he got the part of Al Bundy? It’s very interesting. Ed is far more complex and intelligent than many people would give him credit for, as they just see Al Bundy.
See I always imagine Al and Peggy got divorced. She remarried the head of a motorcycle gang in California and he married a beautiful woman from Colombia.
@@NWAWskeptic if I remember correctly, a lot of the actors that were going for Al's part played it like Ralph Kramden. Ed played him worn down and tired, partly to be different than all the other auditions.
Emily & Wayne's World - what a way to start off my day! I'm not worthy! Re. the Next Gen vs Original Series thing... when Wayne's World was made Next Gen was still an ongoing series, and while it was very very popular, there was no telling at the time if it would have the long-lasting cultural impact that the Original Series had. I think today it is indeed generally recognised as the better series of the two, but it can still never be what the original was. Sorry, I forgot to add a "Nerd Alert!" to the beginning of that last paragraph!
Anybody else back in the day use to watch Mad TV at 11pm (10pm central 😋 ) but then switch over to SNL at 11:30? Also 2 movies in a row now with a cameo of the T - 1000...you're gonna be expecting him to show up in every movie pretty soon.
My preferred SNL era was late 80s to early 90s. Van down by the river, makin' copies, choppin' broccoli, church lady, etc. But yes, it's very highly dependent on the simple fact of when in your life you had time to watch SNL live. I didn't watch it at all during the 2000s so many of those bits go over my head and seem lame, but I'm sure if I was a different age it would be a different story. I really don't think Emily should feel an ounce of guilt of doing the doodily-doodily transition, because the whole point of the joke is that it's emulating old-school film effects, it's not something that Wayne's World specifically invented. (I mean, yes, they made up the idea of saying it out loud but that's just, like, every joke/reference.)
The part when you were talking about guitars and called it a Rue Paul, that got a giggle because it reminded me of a friend of mine who thought he knew more than what he actually did, and after buying Guitar hero for the Xbox kept referring to the guitar he got with it as a ‘le Paul’ thinking it was French…
I might be dating my pop culture references, but my older brother and I watched SNL at the time this movie came out, so I understood the actual Wayne’s World references from the skits themselves. Having seen both movies, I can still remember most of the jokes. I use the ‘Oh yes, it will be mine.’ quote to talk about future planed geeky purchases all the time.
ESP (Emppu Vuorinen) EV-1 with Seymour Duncan pickups (TB-5 in the bridge, SHR-1n in the middle and an SH-2n in the neck) 1 in purple and 1 in white. Last time seen the white ESP on stage must have been when Tarja was in band .
This is my number one laugh-my-ass off-in-the-cinema-movie. I've never laughed as hard in the cinema as when i watched this movie. And I'd like to say that it's mostly thanks to Garth. :) It was a movie of its time though and it doesn't work as well now as when it came out and was fresh and original.
One of my childhood favorites. This got quoted way too much around my house. I love Ed O'Neill as Glen. Totally in the wrong movie but I want more scenes of him addressing the camera. And the Alice Cooper cameo is so great. "Yes Pete, it is!" 🤣🤣🤣
Oddly enough, when this premiered in the theaters, Wayne actually did play the opening riff to "Stairway to Heaven" in the music store and was cut off by the salesman...it subsequently was changed for the video release so Wayne was actually censored twice!
I’d definitely watch “Matthew Talks Guitars”! As for riffs that annoy music store employees, shortly before Wayne’s World came out, Nirvana’s Nevermind and Metallica’s self titled album (aka “Black Album”) were released. You couldn’t walk into a music store in the early to mid 90’s without hearing at least one attempt at “Come As You Are”, “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, or “Enter Sandman”.
My best friend and I went to see Wayne’s World in the theatre. We were laughing so hard we felt that we missed a bunch of gags. So we went to see it the next night!
This movie is loaded to the gunwales with memes. A loooong time before the word meme even existed. Yet it still influences meme culture today even though barely anyone knows about it anymore, or watches it. You, Emily, are one of the great exceptions. Thanks for broadening the minds of kids today. They just don't know what they've been missing. Wayne's World, party time, excellent!
Well, Dan Aykroyd WAS married to the incredible Donna Dixon, until he had an affair with their babysitter. That better have been one HELL of a babysitter to throw over Dixon like that. ETA I just checked, and she stayed with him after that, still married. He's STILL a lucky man, hope he realizes...
Omg, I can’t believe I forgot all that! I remember Dixon from Bosom Buddies. Totally forgot she was married to akroyd and haven’t seen Dr Detroit in YEARS! I gotta watch that again, because I was so young when I first saw it.
See I never saw The Graduate until almost 10 years after WW2 came out. I never really got the ending. Then I saw The Graduate on tv one day and suddenly it all clicked. I was rolling on the floor laughing watching the ending of the Graduate and thinking of Waynes World the entire time years and years later.
Garth's dog's name is Bowie, as in David Bowie. The best era of SNL is 1975 - 1979. That's the default answer to that question. Only after that is acknowledged can you say what your second favorite era is. Mine is 1985 - 1993. My favorite Trek is Deep Space Nine. Best Regards!
I think that the time of Dennis Miller, Mike Myers was when they were last really good. But the early years for me were the best. Steve Martin, Dan Aykroyd Two Wild and Crazy Guys, The Blues Brothers pre 1980 I would say but I'm older than Matt.
Summer of ‘93. “Wayne’s World” was at a pop culture high. Queen was frequently being played on the radio again. I was in my early 20’s, and had just come back home from being away for a few months. Sitting in a car with a bunch of friends and “Bohemian Rhapsody” comes on the radio. Of COURSE, I started head-banging… and, everyone in the car looked at me as if I just told them that I’m attracted to traffic lights. Not that there’s anything wrong with traffic lights, but not head-banging to “Bohemian Rhapsody” is WEIRD.
Mike Meyers played a record executive in the recent Freddy Mercury biopic shooting down Bohemian Rhapsody saying "No-one is going to be head-banging in the car to Bohemian Rhapsody"
The zoom reunion with the cast and crew of Wayne's World is a good watch as well. They even got the "suck cut" inventor. Alice Cooper had the Delaware title card as his green screen background during the reunion as well. I was so glad to see the kitty trying to get your attention. "I'm in this video too!"
1. Tia Carrera/Cassandra sang all of her songs, She also has a Grammy for singing and voice over work. 2. It's kinda weird watching Rob Lowe play a heavy. 3. When Garth says, "I like to play". I was expecting a "That's what she said".🙄🤣 4. Ed O'neil was slated to be a court-martial officer in the Vietnam era movie "Flight of the Intruder" but when screened by the audience he drew laughs because of the Al Bundy roll so he had to be replaced by Fred Thompson. 5. Flight of the Intruder would be a great movie for your to share with us "first time" HINT HINT
Under pressure, Sweet Home Alabama, November Rain, Summer of 69, The Gambler, jump, Start Me Up, I Got You Babe, YMCA, inagodadavida, Back in Black, Thunderstruck, Dust in the Wind, American Pie, American Woman, Wild Thing, so so many more
I honestly think part 2 was the better movie. I felt like Emily watching this when it came out and my brother and his mate were blindly in love with it. But when 2 came out, I was on the floor laughing.
Man, my brother and I grew up as 80s metal heads/hard rock…basically anything rock n roll we were obsessed with…we watched this on vhs until we had to buy another because the tape wore out….2nd one is awesome too….we desperately need a film like this now
This movie is a staple of my adolescence. I can quote damn near the entire film to this day even though I haven’t watched it in years. Did you ever see that episode of the Twilight Zone where the guy signed a contract and they cut out his tongue but it wouldn’t die it just grew and pulsated and gave birth to baby tongues
The head banging to Bohemian Rhapsody scene was retook so many times that the final cut their heads and necks was hurting so much they could barely move them. That's why their head banging look so rough. You can see it especially on Mike Myers face and moving. Also Dana Carvey really didn't know the lyrics to the song too. So they kept the him trying to bad lip sing to the Bohemian Rhapsody in the movie.
Saw this at the cinema... About 50 people in there ... I think I walked out half way through. I was about 12... But I now appreciate it ... It's mainly a huge American comedy. When you are a kid in England you don't get that comedy.
I have a friend who keeps an unopened jar of Grey Poupon in his car and he occasionally shows it to other drivers when they're at stop lights and such, like he's offering it to them. Most people don't get it, but now and then he gets one that laughs.
SNL best late 80s early 90s. Church Lady, Hans & Frans, Wayne's World, The 1988 Presidential candidate spoofs, Weekend update w Dennis Miller, Ditka Boys, Vitoria Jackson, soo many great skits.
It's definitely a product of its time and a lot of the jokes to reflect that, especially since it was based off an SNL skit that was popular during that era, but, like you Emily, I REALLY wanted to know Glenn's story because the mystery of him intrigued me more than Wayne and Garthe's overall arc
Another great movie from a Canadian sketch comedy group Kids in the Hall produced by Lorne Michaels of SNL is Brain Candy. If you can find it, Brain Candy is also like a Monty Python movie in that the main group play multiple characters.
A lot of it relies on very time-specific bits (like the Grey Poupon and all the commercial references) so it's understandable that they just don't land like they did at the time this was released. So don't feel bad for being critical. It's definitely not on you.
That nuprin commercial bit killed me. They turned the screen to black and white and said the tagline: little, yellow, different. I LOST it in the theatre when they did that. Lol.
4:15 FWIW, the S2 line may lack some of the cosmetic flair of the core USA models, but they do play and sound every bit as good (source: have one of both).
"Wayne's World" is so dependent on early 90's pop culture that it doesn't hold up all that great with the passing of time. Some of the humor is still there and still very funny, but becomes more of a slight chuckle than big laugh. But.....the WW soundtrack still holds up perfectly well today.
You mentioned Paul Reed Smith guitars. I work in logistics and at a former company we did work with them. I once arranged delivery for a guitar from Neal Schon from the plant. I was also able to tour the plant one. Very cool!
SNL in the mid nineties was my jam (and, yes, right after SNICK). Roxbury guys and celeb jeopardy were always so good. Darrell Hammond could perfectly nail every celeb impression he did with his Bill Clinton being so spot on. And who could forget Norm Macdonald's weekend update. God rest his soul.
Only Americans will know SNL, as it's not shown in many other places, im a Brit and I've not seen a single episode, Wayne's world is a classic for different reasons in the rest of the world, it's humour is universal ☺️ I know that, in the UK, people were saying 'nooooot' at the end of their statements all the damn time. And next generation is better in my opinion ☺️
When this came out my sister gave it to me on VHS as a gift. My friend became obsessed with it and wanted to come to my house and watch it almost every day for a whole summer.
I remember seeing this theatrically and loved it, but the scene with Rob Lowe walking in the house after the cavity search almost killed me from laughter.😂👍
Love love love this movie AND Emily’s laughs ; especially at my FAV Dana Carvey scene where his character Garth says after his drum solo, “I like to play”.
Glenn's story is that he moonlights as a woman's shoe salesman on the weekends and his wife and two kids and chicken of a neighbor drive him up the wall ;)

Mike Myers was able to send the Bohemian Rhapsody head banging scene to Brian May to show to Freddie Mercury before he died. And he loved it!
And in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody Mike Myers played the record company executive that said teenagers would never bang their heads in their cars to Bohemian Rhapsody.

People tend to forget that Wayne’s World used “That’s what she said” way before The Office.
I hate the office
And a lot of people tend to forget that "That's what she said" is a very old saying, long before Wayne's World :)
Ya, a very 90s joke. Idk if anyone really knows where it came from..
It was around before Wayne’s World, but wasn’t that well known. It’s pretty big now..
A lot of people seem to think that the office isn't crap. They are wrong.
This movie made Bohemian Rhapsody a number 1 hit on the radio again, over a decade and a half after it originally was a #1 hit.
Number 2 hit...

I guess BB "doesn't count" as it was based on a musical performance rather than a sketch. So he is technically true
I'd love to see her take on Strange Brew. Bob and Doug McKenzie are the OG Wayne and Garth.

5. Flight of the Intruder would be a great movie for your to share with us "first time" HINT HINT
Fun fact for you! Cassandra is voiced in Lilo and Stitch.
This movie gets extra stars for acknowledging the powers of Alice Cooper!! He is the best!
Under pressure, Sweet Home Alabama, November Rain, Summer of 69, The Gambler, jump, Start Me Up, I Got You Babe, YMCA, inagodadavida, Back in Black, Thunderstruck, Dust in the Wind, American Pie, American Woman, Wild Thing, so so many more
My favourite line is still:
"Your last name is "Elgar", is that correct?"
"Okay.....WAAAYYYYNNNNNEEEE!!!!"
I honestly think part 2 was the better movie. I felt like Emily watching this when it came out and my brother and his mate were blindly in love with it. But when 2 came out, I was on the floor laughing.
This series is a favorite of mine. I hope y'all watch the sequel as it's just as good if not better!
Man, my brother and I grew up as 80s metal heads/hard rock…basically anything rock n roll we were obsessed with…we watched this on vhs until we had to buy another because the tape wore out….2nd one is awesome too….we desperately need a film like this now
This movie is a staple of my adolescence. I can quote damn near the entire film to this day even though I haven’t watched it in years. Did you ever see that episode of the Twilight Zone where the guy signed a contract and they cut out his tongue but it wouldn’t die it just grew and pulsated and gave birth to baby tongues
It was in a jar
The head banging to Bohemian Rhapsody scene was retook so many times that the final cut their heads and necks was hurting so much they could barely move them. That's why their head banging look so rough. You can see it especially on Mike Myers face and moving.
Also Dana Carvey really didn't know the lyrics to the song too. So they kept the him trying to bad lip sing to the Bohemian Rhapsody in the movie.
SCHWING!!
WERE NOT WORTHY
WERE NOT WORTHY
WERE NOT WORTHY!!
How about we pop in some Bohemian Rhapsody?
4:30 - I would have loved to see a Glenn spin off film.
9:00 - Yes. Anti-skip was bullshit.
Saw this at the cinema... About 50 people in there ... I think I walked out half way through.
I was about 12... But I now appreciate it ...
It's mainly a huge American comedy. When you are a kid in England you don't get that comedy.
I have a friend who keeps an unopened jar of Grey Poupon in his car and he occasionally shows it to other drivers when they're at stop lights and such, like he's offering it to them. Most people don't get it, but now and then he gets one that laughs.
I had forgotten how good this movie was. Thank you for the reminder.
It's interesting that the two best SNL movies are centered around music.
Wayne's World is a classic. One of the funniest movies ever made.
You need to watch Strange Brew.
SNL best late 80s early 90s. Church Lady, Hans & Frans, Wayne's World, The 1988 Presidential candidate spoofs, Weekend update w Dennis Miller, Ditka Boys, Vitoria Jackson, soo many great skits.
It's definitely a product of its time and a lot of the jokes to reflect that, especially since it was based off an SNL skit that was popular during that era, but, like you Emily, I REALLY wanted to know Glenn's story because the mystery of him intrigued me more than Wayne and Garthe's overall arc
Definitely. That Grey Poupon joke makes absolutely no sense if you're not old enough to have seen the commercial.
It's Party time Excellent 🎸
Wayne’s world🥳
The dog's name should have been "Doggo Pesch". It would have been lost on non metal heads though.
Emily: What Glen's story?
Me: He's married with children.
Garth's dog: Brooks.
Another great movie from a Canadian sketch comedy group Kids in the Hall produced by Lorne Michaels of SNL is Brain Candy. If you can find it, Brain Candy is also like a Monty Python movie in that the main group play multiple characters.
Every time i watch this movie and the scenes with Ed O'Neill Im like ........ "Glen........who hurt you?" LMAO!
YESSS!! Finally!!! One of my favorites EVER! Now you MUST do WW 2 (which is better IMO) - one of the better sequels ever done.
Thanks for choosing my viewer submitted title. You really made my day!
The entire movie is a masterpiece in itself. Personally my favorite part is the sponsorship and the Bohemian Rhapsody moments will always be funny
A lot of it relies on very time-specific bits (like the Grey Poupon and all the commercial references) so it's understandable that they just don't land like they did at the time this was released. So don't feel bad for being critical. It's definitely not on you.
That nuprin commercial bit killed me. They turned the screen to black and white and said the tagline: little, yellow, different. I LOST it in the theatre when they did that. Lol.
4:15 FWIW, the S2 line may lack some of the cosmetic flair of the core USA models, but they do play and sound every bit as good (source: have one of both).
"Wayne's World" is so dependent on early 90's pop culture that it doesn't hold up all that great with the passing of time. Some of the humor is still there and still very funny, but becomes more of a slight chuckle than big laugh. But.....the WW soundtrack still holds up perfectly well today.
It holds up very well with people my age who are old enough to remember all the references. Younger people would miss a lot of the gags.
You mentioned Paul Reed Smith guitars. I work in logistics and at a former company we did work with them. I once arranged delivery for a guitar from Neal Schon from the plant. I was also able to tour the plant one. Very cool!
SNL in the mid nineties was my jam (and, yes, right after SNICK). Roxbury guys and celeb jeopardy were always so good. Darrell Hammond could perfectly nail every celeb impression he did with his Bill Clinton being so spot on. And who could forget Norm Macdonald's weekend update. God rest his soul.
Only Americans will know SNL, as it's not shown in many other places, im a Brit and I've not seen a single episode, Wayne's world is a classic for different reasons in the rest of the world, it's humour is universal ☺️ I know that, in the UK, people were saying 'nooooot' at the end of their statements all the damn time.
And next generation is better in my opinion ☺️
Alice Cooper is just the coolest and his cameo here is so much fun
When this came out my sister gave it to me on VHS as a gift. My friend became obsessed with it and wanted to come to my house and watch it almost every day for a whole summer.
When they pull beside the rolls Royce and ask for grey poupon 😂😂😂
Enter Sandman's intro is also one of the overplayed intro's in music stores
I remember seeing this theatrically and loved it, but the scene with Rob Lowe walking in the house after the cavity search almost killed me from laughter.😂👍
Love love love this movie AND Emily’s laughs ; especially at my FAV Dana Carvey scene where his character Garth says after his drum solo, “I like to play”.
Gosh…movies are so much more fun with you guys 🤗 thanks for sharing the fun 👍🥰
My favourite Star trek is anything that isn't Discovery.
This movie took much inspiration from the greatest of the "stupid buddies" genre... Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Put it on the list.
