Wayne's Ex-Girlfriend (Stacey) was played by Lara Flynn-Boyle, and if You thought that she was PSYCHO in this, wait until You see her in "Men in Black II." 😱
I used to watch "Wayne's World" skits on SNL before this movie came out. They were quite popular skits. Dana Carvey was the king of SNL in my mind. I think this is a major reason why "Bohemian Rhapsody" had such a resurgence. Random fact: I think a vacuum hair cutter was a real and viable product you could buy.
Yes. There briefly were TV adverts for the "Flow-bee" vacuum hair-cutter a short time before this movie came out. Often the butt of jokes. There were numerous varied commercial mockeries in this movie, some of which may not be recognizable by younger folks.
This was such a fun reaction. Seeing Jen realise that she and Garth are probably related in some way was hilarious. :D And I really loved how happy you were at the Terminator reference.
This movie is actually responsible for how big Bohemian Rhapsody is today. It wasn't as remembered and didn't get the big airplay because of it's length. Then this movie had that scene in it and the song outperformed it's original release in the U.S. charts. Brought it to an all new generation.
In the UK it was still very well-remembered and had gone to number one a second time following Freddie Mercury’s untimely death, a few months before the release of Wayne’s World. According to Brian May, Freddie saw the scene from the movie because Mike Myers sent over a tape, and he loved it. Mike Myers also threatened to quit the movie if they didn’t use Bohemian Rhapsody - the studio wanted a more contemporary track by a band like Guns N Roses, but Myers insisted. Party on!
I saw this in the theaters when it came out. I was in college, and my roommate and friends and I were Queen fans. When the Bohemian Rhapsody scene came on, we sort of started singing along. These younger kids (like 13 or 14 years old) sitting in front of us kept looking back at us. And I heard one of them say, "How do they know this? This movie's brand new."
Jen, the graphics you add to your reactions are soooo top tier! ( wheeez warning, wisdom Nuggets) your content is the absolute best around! I do love how your channel has grown and progressed. Thank you for your dedication and effort...always here...Eric
@@tomhoffman4330 What can I say...this is my absolute favorite RUclips channel! And she deserves all the praise! And if that is ' sucking up ' so be it.
Hey Jen... 1) Freddie Mercury gave his permission to use "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the film, after seeing the scene and loving it. It was shortly before he died. 2) The Dream Woman was played by Donna Dixon. She got her big break in the same sitcom as Tom Hanks in the early 1980s, 'Bosum Buddies'. She played Hanks's love interest. She is married to Dan Ackroyd (Ghostbusters) in real life. 3) This film gave Rob Lowe (Benjamin) his first real break into comedy and started a really close friendship with Mike Myers. In fact, he got his role in the 'Austin Powers' films because of an impression Lowe did during a golf game. He appears in the second and third 'Austin Powers' movies. 4) Tia Carrera (Cassandra) had a syndicated TV series and did a lot of movies in the 80s through the early 2000s. 5) The first bouncer that Wayne and Garth talked to before they see Cassandra was the late great Michael Lee Aday aka Meat Loaf! One of the best hard rock/metal singers of all time, whose 'Bat Out Of Hell' albums were HUGE sellers. He also did all sorts of movies like 'Fight Club' (as Bob) and 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' (as Eddie, a role he created onstage). 6) I actually can say that Alice Cooper is a really sweet guy, who I was on a first-name basis with in the early 2000s as he was constantly in the bookstore I worked at. He has quite a few major hits..."School's Out", "Feed My Frankenstein" (which is in the movie), "Poison", and "No More Mr. Nice Guy". He is actually a lot like he is in the backstage scene in real life. 7) Some of the Saturday Night Live 'Wayne's World" skits are worthwhile...they were extremely popular. I would also suggest doing a deep dive into Dana Carvey's work on SNL...especially The Church Lady and his George H.W. Bush characters...The guy is brilliant.
Jen your 90's twin Dana Carvey is actually a very good drummer. This was originally a recurring skit on SNL and was in my opinion the second best movie to originate from a SNL skit, the best being the Blues Brothers from the original cast.
A movie that nobody else has reacted to and is also a true cult classic, Heavy Metal... It's animated but has John Candy as a main voice character. It's a trip, be prepared 😉
The "get the net" reference was a pretty old one even in 92. It comes from the image of sanitarium workers capturing crazy people with a net (similar to how you would capture butterflies). I think from a comedic perspective it might date back to the silent film era When people ask me my favorite movie, I general give fav drama, etc and I say this is my favorite movie that was filmed in only 34 days.
"We are not worthy!" Classic 90's comedy, filled with many notable zingers and one liners. And of course, who could forget the iconic singalong to "Bohemian Rhapsody", complete with head bops?!
Thank you for watching Wayne's World 🌎 Jen. It's my all-time favorite movie. It's an easily quotable movie and silly as it fits on the time period it was made in. I have a lot of merchandise and collectibles related to the movie. It's one of my most watched films to this day even. I'm excited to watch your reaction.
@@jenmurrayxo You are now obligated to do the head bop thing in your car any time Bohemian Rhapsody comes on the radio. Especially if there's anyone else in the car with you.

Dude, I was like 14 when this came out, and we could not get enough of it. You couldn't go anywhere or do anything without constantly hearing "Shwing!"
Hey Hey there Jen Murray. This was a sketch on Saturday Night Live. Seeing in the theater was Awesome. Big Laughs. Love your reaction, as always. Have a good night. 😉👌
Wayne's Worls started as a reoccurring skit on Saturday Night Live. It was one of the few SNL crossovers that was really successful. Happy to see you're reacting to the Austin Powers films. You've seen enough of Bond to spot all references, I'm sure.
@@Tr0nzoid it was appealing enough to be at the top of the box office for a time. It the most popular SNL film, next to The Blues Brothers, They were the only two that had sequels
I live in Milwaukee, born and raised, and Alice Cooper's cameo is BELOVED by me and my fellow Milwaukeeans. He's spot-on about our cultural history and those cool pop art Milwaukee neighborhood posters hanging in his concert dressing room are iconic wall hangings in any Milwaukee Den, Man-Cave or Rec Room. Enjoy!
Wayne’s World was a Saturday Night Live skit. You can probably find a lot of the Wayne’s World skits here on RUclips Mike Myers got the film company to have Queen Bohemian Rhapsody. The company wanted another song. Mike told them if they didn’t put Bohemian Rhapsody in the film he is going to quit making the film. Mike Myers was also in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody.
Jen, your reaction was exactly like mine and the entire audience when I saw this movie when it was released. The crowd laughed uproariously throughout. It was the best time I ever had in a movie theater.
I've had the opportunity to meet quite a few celebrities in my life, but my all time favorite celeb sighting was Tony Danza in NYC. He's walking down the sidewalk and an old lady who clearly had no idea who he was asked him for directions, and without missing a beat, in a perfect NY accent he says "2 blocks this way, go left 3 blocks, and bada-boom you're there." and then continues on his way.
Dana Carvey based Garth in his brother, who he maintains is the kind of guy who could disassemble a toaster and turn it into a computer. Also, that is really him playing the drums, Dana is a pretty good drummer. Edit: yes, “Feed My Frankenstein” is a real song by Alice Cooper. He has other good songs, probably best known for “School’s Out.”
"Get the net!" That's Wayne's own expression, interpreted to mean, call the men in white coats and butterfly nets to come and take her away to the mental hospital.
Freddie Mercury managed to watch a copy of this video before his untimely death, he loved seeing Mike Myers and Dana Carvey headbang to his hit song Bohemian Rhapsody. To me this was the first ever RUclipsr. It's very "Mission Impossible" Yeah same company same year lol
HI Jen, no retro recommendation today, so I picked my own. I went back in time to the Nugget Era to wheeze along with you to Wayne & Garth! I've watched this reaction a bunch and it never gets old. Thanks!
"get the net" = "you're crazy." It was like a gag in some entertainment, like stuff like Looney Tunes and vaudeville stuff, that the mental hospital staff would go after the crazies with a net.
Was in high school when this came out. Our small town, chock full of teen alcoholics for lack of much to do, still had a big drive-in theater. We usually often went there on the weekends when there was no pre-planned party in the boonies, to hang out near the back rows and impromptu party. This was one of the few movies we all watched completely through as opposed to yammering with each other. Laughs (and buzzes) were had.
I loved this movie growing up. I had both Waynes World movies on VHS and wore out both tapes. I was fortunate to grow up near the Carowinds theme park where they had a small section of the park with a Wayne's World theme. They recreated the guitar shop building which was a gift shop inside, Stan Mikita's, Garth's car, and had a roller coaster called The Hurler. The roller coaster is the only thing left at the park after Paramount sold the park. I rode it 2 years ago the last time I went to the park. Also, you should totally react to Police Academy which is another childhood favorite.
Yeah that was sad when they took the coffee shop and stuff down, haven't been there in a long time but also rode The Hurler before they took that down too. Good times.
TV channels used to be independent businesses. What would they show? They might become a 'network affiliate' and pay for NBC/CBS/ABC content to air on their channel. But if they couldn't afford the 'rich' stuff, they had to make do with their own stuff. Someone got the bright idea to open the studio up to the public. They called it Public Access TV. "Come on in, write your name on the schedule and show up on time, do whatever you want." This is how Mystery Science Theater 3000 got it's start, by the way, KTMA channel 13 in Minneapolis needed to fill time so Joel was paid $40 a show to run zero-dollar movies and just make jokes about it on camera. Another good movie about the old days of TV, 'UHF' with Weird Al Yankovic. And for more Chris Farley, it has to be 'Tommy Boy'.
Before it was made into a movie, Wayne's World was a popular recurring skit on Saturday Night Live. The premise was "Wayne's World" was a show on local Public Access television. Back in the days before the internet, to make a TV show and get it broadcast (locally) you could put it on public access TV. It's so weird that now we have RUclips and people are putting their own videos out there for the whole world to watch!
Canada trivia: Mike Myers first did the character of Wayne Campbell on the CBC, as a metal head kid from Scarborough. The name "Wayne Campbell" was just the most Canadian name he could think of. Later, when Myers moved from Second City Toronto to Second City Chicago (and then on to SNL), he noticed that Americans seemed to dislike things not being American so he changed Wayne to be from the Chicago suburb of Aurora as there was also an Aurora near Toronto.
Even more nineties-esque, and my favorite Mike Myers movie- So I married an Axe Murderer. The first five minutes reminds me of so many clubs I was in during the nineties. Slam poetry, coffee houses. The whole bit.
On the states as cable television became a huge and necessary industry the government passed legislation that the local cable companies provide training and access to regular folks to produce and air there own general interest tv shows known as Public Access television, which is the premise of Wayne's World.
Not only my introduction to Meyers in movies but also a totally rad connection to my childhood. That Mirthmobile scene driving by all those streets and bus stops are the same ones i used everyday as a kid till 8th grade. Wayne and the gang cruisin my hood was surreal and made me an instant Meyers fan for life... Zang! :D
I saw this theatres with my husband, mother in law and her boyfriend when I was 7 months pregnant with my second son". He's now 31 years old, and a father of 3. That's how old this movie is..xx
The babe certainly was in a 90's TV show by the name of "Relic Hunter", where she played a character that was much like Lara Croft, aka a female Indiana Jones. And yes, she was the bad girl in "True Lies" too! As for checking out "Police Academy", I'm sure that you'd highly enjoy it! 😆
Loved this movie. and the time period. Miss the 80s and the 90s. I was in college at the time taking set and stage design courses. My mother worked in the industry and her best friend was the script supervisor on the movie. She got me on the set of the donut shop every day after school. The foxy bit took hours to shoot because everybody kept laughing. One of the funniest weeks I've ever had. Dana Carvey was SOOO cool. So was Ed O'Neil.
I got to hang out with Keith Richards from the "Rolling Stones" in his hotel room after a show. My friend who was good friends with Keith told me "NO, fan boy sh*t or my favorite song/album stuff". So I sat back and within about 10 minutes I felt comfortable to add to the conversation. It was a great night.
This movie is a special one for me. It came out during my senior year of high school. A friend of mine named Audrey and I went to see it. We had the best time and I will forever remember it as a positive time during a rough year. Miss you Audrey
Chris Farley not in Happy Gilmore, but great angry bus driver in Billy Madison. When this was popular, my cousins were hosting foreign exchange students from Spain, and they spoke very little English. But, the way they're walk around saying "Schwing" and "Not" is a core memory. Thank you for the reminder!
10:22 I think this scene is in reference to a street-hockey set-up that was advertised, once upon a time, as being _incredibly_ versatile. The commercial had a group of kids playing hockey, in the street, using this set, and then one of them called out, "Car!" Well, they all immediately stopped playing hockey, grabbed the puck, their sticks, and the net and moved them aside while the car drove on through. Then they put the net back where it had been and called "Game on!" and resumed the game. Then one of them called out, "Motorcycle gang!" Well, they all immediately stopped what they were doing, grabbed their sticks, the puck, the net, moved them out of the way until the motorcycle gang drove through, then put the net back where it had been and called "Game on!" and the game resumed. Then one of them called out, "Parade!" Well, they all immediately stopped what they were doing, grabbed their sticks, the puck and the net, moved them out of the way until this parade finished marching through, then put the net back where it had been and called "Game on!" and the game resumed. Now, all this has been interspersed with an announcer, providing us with key information about the product, and at _this_ point, the screen goes black to display some print about the product and we hear them call out with _particular_ urgency, _"Stampede!"_
Dana Carvey (Garth) is an accomplished drummer. So, yeah that was him really playing. Also, the blonde who Garth liked is actress Donna Dixon who was also the object of Tom Hanks' affection in his first (and only) tv series, Busom Buddies. She later married Dan Aykroyd after they met while filming the film, Doctor Detroit.
1. Tia Carrera/Cassandra sang all of her songs, and she also has a Grammy for singing and voice over work. 2. It's weird seeing Rob Lowe as a heavy. 3. Brian Doyle Murry is Bill Murry's brother and has been in a ton of movie/tv including two of the Vacation movies. 4. Vincent Fournier/Alice Cooper is a historian, so he loved playing in this thing. 5. He is also a surprisingly good golfer and I've had the privilege of seeing him twice 😎😁 6. Who doesn't love Al Bundy/Ed O'Neil? 7. A 1978 stoner's film you will like is Cheech & Chong, "Up in Smoke". 😎😎
When you said "see you later garth!" when he was talking under the table, you made my night! Jen, you should celebrate yet another awesome reaction with some champagne 🥂😅😂 A+++
This movie is basically a love letter to Canada, Scarborough and Tim Hortons aka Stan Mikitas Donuts in the movie. "car!" Also Meatloaf is the bouncer at the Gasworks club (the sign you couldn't read)
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but despite not being a singer, Tia Carrere did all of her own vocals in this movie, none of it is dubbing or auto tuning. And her version of “Ballroom Blitz” was actually released as a single after this movie.
This movie singlehandedly brought Bohemian Rhapsonty (and Queen) back into the public consciousnes... not only that, but in 1992, it got to #2 on the US Hot 100... and it was over a decade old at that point. That pretty much never happens. It also accidentally coincided with Freddy Mercury's death and the star studded Queen tribute concert.. so Queen became a huge deal again in 1992.
The other year, as part of his cast reunion RUclips series, Josh Gad brought the Wayne’s World cast back together. Sir Brian May & Roger Taylor of Queen also appeared & recalled the tale of how they managed to show the opening sequence to Freddie Mercury shortly before he died; & he loved it. Mike Myers & the cast were totally unaware that this had happened & we clearly moved that Mercury had given the scene his blessing.
I WAS going to get some sleep, but then this popped up and I knew I had to watch it right away! Party on. Jen! It was such a good time, watching you having a good time with two of my best buds 😁 Roll on Wayne’s World 2!
For stoner comedies: Half Baked, Airheads, and PCU. For movies to smoke to: The Secret of Nimh, Star Trek: the Motion Picture, or Rubber. You may recognize the first two. That last one starts with a tire that kills things with it's mind powers and goes from there.
The sales guy that helped Wayne in the music store was Dana Strum, the bass player for Vinnie Vincent Invasion and the huge hair-metal band Slaughter. 🤘🤘 Yes, that is a real Alice Cooper song called "Feed My Frankenstein". It has guitar work, and even a duel, between the guitar legends Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. It's also master vs. student! 🎸🎸🔥
15:57: So I was raised on this movie and grew up in Canada and it wasn't until I went to Hong Kong in 2011 that I got the joke here. The difference between Kowloon Bay and Hong Kong proper is literally like a 10 minute slowboat door to door. Meaning you'd have to be like AI to detect the difference in accent, if any.
Popping in to echo your love for Garth, he’s my favorite. :D Also, my friends and I used the “CAR!… Game on!” Line So. Many. Times. We were very fond of using sidewalk chalk on streets, so it was necessary. 😂
This movie was my childhood. I'm happy you had a great time with it, and I'm sure the sequel will make you wheeze too. If you haven't seen it, Clerks is a great 90s comedy, combining buddy, stoner and dark humor.
Wayne’s World began as a skit on Saturday Night Live…the skit was so popular that they decided to make two movies. He’s talking about the net they might use to catch crazy people.

just skip his "Master of Disguise" movie
Well, isn't that speeccciallll? Loved the church lady haha!
"He blows goats. I have proof." That was the moment in the theater when I fell out of my seat from laughing so hard!
I was obsessed with this movie as a kid lol
🤘☺️
When I was 8 I would just rewind and re-watch the whole ending sequence over and over it was so funny
Dude, I was like 14 when this came out, and we could not get enough of it. You couldn't go anywhere or do anything without constantly hearing "Shwing!"
Hey Hey there Jen Murray. This was a sketch on Saturday Night Live. Seeing in the theater was Awesome. Big Laughs. Love your reaction, as always. Have a good night. 😉👌
Thanks Michael 👍
Wayne's Worls started as a reoccurring skit on Saturday Night Live. It was one of the few SNL crossovers that was really successful. Happy to see you're reacting to the Austin Powers films. You've seen enough of Bond to spot all references, I'm sure.
Actually, Mike was doing the character solo at Second City prior to SNL.
@@Tr0nzoid it was appealing enough to be at the top of the box office for a time. It the most popular SNL film, next to The Blues Brothers, They were the only two that had sequels
I live in Milwaukee, born and raised, and Alice Cooper's cameo is BELOVED by me and my fellow Milwaukeeans. He's spot-on about our cultural history and those cool pop art Milwaukee neighborhood posters hanging in his concert dressing room are iconic wall hangings in any Milwaukee Den, Man-Cave or Rec Room. Enjoy!
A comedic gem
There was no RUclips in 1992. There were "public access TV shows".
This is propably the single most awesome reaction video ever. 90's nostalgia and Jen finding her long lost brother.
Had so much fun watching this! ☺️🤘
"we're not worthy" is what everyone should say when they meet Jen.
I would say it...kneeling and all!
@@tomhoffman4330 and I'd put a ring on it !
@@kj6446 Well "Good Luck" to both of us.
Wayne’s World was a Saturday Night Live skit. You can probably find a lot of the Wayne’s World skits here on RUclips Mike Myers got the film company to have Queen Bohemian Rhapsody. The company wanted another song. Mike told them if they didn’t put Bohemian Rhapsody in the film he is going to quit making the film. Mike Myers was also in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody.
street hockey was very much a thing where I grew up at this time in the Chicago suburbs
Jen, your reaction was exactly like mine and the entire audience when I saw this movie when it was released. The crowd laughed uproariously throughout. It was the best time I ever had in a movie theater.
Robert Patrick was the cop who stopped Wayne and Garth and showed a picture. He played T-1000 in Terminator 2, wearing the same cop uniform.
It's "Wayne's World, party time, excellent!"
🤘☺️
Yes! Police Academy is absolutely worth watching! Also Revenge of the nerds!
I've had the opportunity to meet quite a few celebrities in my life, but my all time favorite celeb sighting was Tony Danza in NYC. He's walking down the sidewalk and an old lady who clearly had no idea who he was asked him for directions, and without missing a beat, in a perfect NY accent he says "2 blocks this way, go left 3 blocks, and bada-boom you're there." and then continues on his way.
Dana Carvey based Garth in his brother, who he maintains is the kind of guy who could disassemble a toaster and turn it into a computer. Also, that is really him playing the drums, Dana is a pretty good drummer.
Edit: yes, “Feed My Frankenstein” is a real song by Alice Cooper. He has other good songs, probably best known for “School’s Out.”
"Get the net!"
That's Wayne's own expression, interpreted to mean, call the men in white coats and butterfly nets to come and take her away to the mental hospital.
Freddie Mercury managed to watch a copy of this video before his untimely death, he loved seeing Mike Myers and Dana Carvey headbang to his hit song Bohemian Rhapsody.
To me this was the first ever RUclipsr.
It's very "Mission Impossible"
Yeah same company same year lol
OMG.....ur FINALLY watching Wayne's World? WE'RE not WORTHY, WE'RE not WORTHY! 😇😆
🤘☺️
HI Jen, no retro recommendation today, so I picked my own. I went back in time to the Nugget Era to wheeze along with you to Wayne & Garth! I've watched this reaction a bunch and it never gets old. Thanks!
This movie has several of the SNL crew. Mike Meyers, Dana Carvey, and Chris Farley. Ed O'Neill was famous at the time for Married with Children.
"get the net" = "you're crazy." It was like a gag in some entertainment, like stuff like Looney Tunes and vaudeville stuff, that the mental hospital staff would go after the crazies with a net.
Was in high school when this came out. Our small town, chock full of teen alcoholics for lack of much to do, still had a big drive-in theater. We usually often went there on the weekends when there was no pre-planned party in the boonies, to hang out near the back rows and impromptu party. This was one of the few movies we all watched completely through as opposed to yammering with each other. Laughs (and buzzes) were had.
As a fellow Canadian I hope you're getting all the references; Chicago is a stand in for Toronto, Stan Mikita's Donuts is Tim Hortons, etc...
I loved this movie growing up. I had both Waynes World movies on VHS and wore out both tapes. I was fortunate to grow up near the Carowinds theme park where they had a small section of the park with a Wayne's World theme. They recreated the guitar shop building which was a gift shop inside, Stan Mikita's, Garth's car, and had a roller coaster called The Hurler. The roller coaster is the only thing left at the park after Paramount sold the park. I rode it 2 years ago the last time I went to the park. Also, you should totally react to Police Academy which is another childhood favorite.
Yeah that was sad when they took the coffee shop and stuff down, haven't been there in a long time but also rode The Hurler before they took that down too. Good times.
TV channels used to be independent businesses. What would they show? They might become a 'network affiliate' and pay for NBC/CBS/ABC content to air on their channel. But if they couldn't afford the 'rich' stuff, they had to make do with their own stuff. Someone got the bright idea to open the studio up to the public. They called it Public Access TV. "Come on in, write your name on the schedule and show up on time, do whatever you want." This is how Mystery Science Theater 3000 got it's start, by the way, KTMA channel 13 in Minneapolis needed to fill time so Joel was paid $40 a show to run zero-dollar movies and just make jokes about it on camera.
Another good movie about the old days of TV, 'UHF' with Weird Al Yankovic. And for more Chris Farley, it has to be 'Tommy Boy'.
Before it was made into a movie, Wayne's World was a popular recurring skit on Saturday Night Live. The premise was "Wayne's World" was a show on local Public Access television. Back in the days before the internet, to make a TV show and get it broadcast (locally) you could put it on public access TV. It's so weird that now we have RUclips and people are putting their own videos out there for the whole world to watch!
Canada trivia: Mike Myers first did the character of Wayne Campbell on the CBC, as a metal head kid from Scarborough. The name "Wayne Campbell" was just the most Canadian name he could think of. Later, when Myers moved from Second City Toronto to Second City Chicago (and then on to SNL), he noticed that Americans seemed to dislike things not being American so he changed Wayne to be from the Chicago suburb of Aurora as there was also an Aurora near Toronto.
Tia Carrere was in the show Relic Hunter in the late 90's early 00's and was a guest star in numerous tv shows
All "dude" type characters originate with Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn) from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High".
Even more nineties-esque, and my favorite Mike Myers movie- So I married an Axe Murderer.
The first five minutes reminds me of so many clubs I was in during the nineties.
Slam poetry, coffee houses. The whole bit.
On the states as cable television became a huge and necessary industry the government passed legislation that the local cable companies provide training and access to regular folks to produce and air there own general interest tv shows known as Public Access television, which is the premise of Wayne's World.
Not only my introduction to Meyers in movies but also a totally rad connection to my childhood. That Mirthmobile scene driving by all those streets and bus stops are the same ones i used everyday as a kid till 8th grade. Wayne and the gang cruisin my hood was surreal and made me an instant Meyers fan for life... Zang! :D
YES!!! This movie is infinitely quotable. EPIC!!!
This is the funniest and most original of the comedies from that era. This is simply groundbreaking in so many ways.
I saw this theatres with my husband, mother in law and her boyfriend when I was 7 months pregnant with my second son". He's now 31 years old, and a father of 3. That's how old this movie is..xx
Jen’s World watching Wayne’s World. Most excellent! Party on, dudette 🤘🤣
The babe certainly was in a 90's TV show by the name of "Relic Hunter", where she played a character that was much like Lara Croft, aka a female Indiana Jones. And yes, she was the bad girl in "True Lies" too!
As for checking out "Police Academy", I'm sure that you'd highly enjoy it! 😆
Wayne's World is the story about two RUclipsrs and their show, before the internet was even a household thing.
fun fact, this movie was not aware of exactly how 90's it really was
Of course, that's because the 90's were based on it. Without this movie the 90's would have been entirely different.
I already know you will enjoy this classic 90s comedy. Thanks for the video
🤘☺️
YES!!
We're not worthy!

Loved this movie. and the time period. Miss the 80s and the 90s. I was in college at the time taking set and stage design courses. My mother worked in the industry and her best friend was the script supervisor on the movie. She got me on the set of the donut shop every day after school. The foxy bit took hours to shoot because everybody kept laughing. One of the funniest weeks I've ever had. Dana Carvey was SOOO cool. So was Ed O'Neil.
I got to hang out with Keith Richards from the "Rolling Stones" in his hotel room after a show. My friend who was good friends with Keith told me "NO, fan boy sh*t or my favorite song/album stuff". So I sat back and within about 10 minutes I felt comfortable to add to the conversation. It was a great night.
This movie is a special one for me. It came out during my senior year of high school. A friend of mine named Audrey and I went to see it. We had the best time and I will forever remember it as a positive time during a rough year. Miss you Audrey
Chris Farley not in Happy Gilmore, but great angry bus driver in Billy Madison.
When this was popular, my cousins were hosting foreign exchange students from Spain, and they spoke very little English. But, the way they're walk around saying "Schwing" and "Not" is a core memory. Thank you for the reminder!
10:22 I think this scene is in reference to a street-hockey set-up that was advertised, once upon a time, as being _incredibly_ versatile.
The commercial had a group of kids playing hockey, in the street, using this set, and then one of them called out, "Car!" Well, they all immediately stopped playing hockey, grabbed the puck, their sticks, and the net and moved them aside while the car drove on through. Then they put the net back where it had been and called "Game on!" and resumed the game.
Then one of them called out, "Motorcycle gang!" Well, they all immediately stopped what they were doing, grabbed their sticks, the puck, the net, moved them out of the way until the motorcycle gang drove through, then put the net back where it had been and called "Game on!" and the game resumed.
Then one of them called out, "Parade!" Well, they all immediately stopped what they were doing, grabbed their sticks, the puck and the net, moved them out of the way until this parade finished marching through, then put the net back where it had been and called "Game on!" and the game resumed.
Now, all this has been interspersed with an announcer, providing us with key information about the product, and at _this_ point, the screen goes black to display some print about the product and we hear them call out with _particular_ urgency, _"Stampede!"_
This movie got started as a SNL skit that was not supposed to make it to air, however due to time they added it.
Dana Carvey (Garth) is an accomplished drummer. So, yeah that was him really playing. Also, the blonde who Garth liked is actress Donna Dixon who was also the object of Tom Hanks' affection in his first (and only) tv series, Busom Buddies. She later married Dan Aykroyd after they met while filming the film, Doctor Detroit.
1. Tia Carrera/Cassandra sang all of her songs, and she also has a Grammy for singing and voice over work.
2. It's weird seeing Rob Lowe as a heavy.
3. Brian Doyle Murry is Bill Murry's brother and has been in a ton of movie/tv including two of the Vacation movies.
4. Vincent Fournier/Alice Cooper is a historian, so he loved playing in this thing.
5. He is also a surprisingly good golfer and I've had the privilege of seeing him twice 😎😁
6. Who doesn't love Al Bundy/Ed O'Neil?
7. A 1978 stoner's film you will like is Cheech & Chong, "Up in Smoke". 😎😎
Police Academy is comedy gold. Yes, watch them.
Excellent reaction, Jen! Good thing you recognized a lot of references including the Terminator! That was funny!
When you said "see you later garth!" when he was talking under the table, you made my night! Jen, you should celebrate yet another awesome reaction with some champagne 🥂😅😂 A+++
Thanks T! This one was so fun & charming 🤘☺️
@@jenmurrayxo at this point, you should just have a bottle of champagne on hand and take a sip when it inevitably comes up. I would crack up for sure!
I don't think I could afford the champagne budget 😂
@@jenmurrayxo Korbel $20. I'll cash app lol lol JK JK
I feel like this was a comedy right in your wheelhouse. Glad you got it on the channel.
🤘☺️
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thanks John you too 👍
This movie is basically a love letter to Canada, Scarborough and Tim Hortons aka Stan Mikitas Donuts in the movie. "car!" Also Meatloaf is the bouncer at the Gasworks club (the sign you couldn't read)
🤘☺️🇨🇦
You know Bohemian Rapsody because of this movie. It was not played on classic rock stations much before this was released.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but despite not being a singer, Tia Carrere did all of her own vocals in this movie, none of it is dubbing or auto tuning. And her version of “Ballroom Blitz” was actually released as a single after this movie.
This movie singlehandedly brought Bohemian Rhapsonty (and Queen) back into the public consciousnes... not only that, but in 1992, it got to #2 on the US Hot 100... and it was over a decade old at that point. That pretty much never happens. It also accidentally coincided with Freddy Mercury's death and the star studded Queen tribute concert.. so Queen became a huge deal again in 1992.
The other year, as part of his cast reunion RUclips series, Josh Gad brought the Wayne’s World cast back together.
Sir Brian May & Roger Taylor of Queen also appeared & recalled the tale of how they managed to show the opening sequence to Freddie Mercury shortly before he died; & he loved it.
Mike Myers & the cast were totally unaware that this had happened & we clearly moved that Mercury had given the scene his blessing.
One of the best 90s movies is Mike Meyers in So I Married an Axe Murderer....
The title says it all!
the singer was the star of a tv series called relic hunter
I WAS going to get some sleep, but then this popped up and I knew I had to watch it right away! Party on. Jen! It was such a good time, watching you having a good time with two of my best buds 😁
Roll on Wayne’s World 2!
The Noah's Arcade boss guy is actually Brian Doyle Murray who is Bill Murray's brother.
"Wayne's World" started as a recurring skit on Saturday Night Live.
"Which show is this? Is it Mary Tyler Moore?"
It’s Laverne and Shirley.
I’m just waiting for the Champagne 🥂 callout! 7:22
14:40! 😂🥂
For stoner comedies: Half Baked, Airheads, and PCU.
For movies to smoke to: The Secret of Nimh, Star Trek: the Motion Picture, or Rubber. You may recognize the first two. That last one starts with a tire that kills things with it's mind powers and goes from there.
The sales guy that helped Wayne in the music store was Dana Strum, the bass player for Vinnie Vincent Invasion and the huge hair-metal band Slaughter. 🤘🤘
Yes, that is a real Alice Cooper song called "Feed My Frankenstein". It has guitar work, and even a duel, between the guitar legends Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. It's also master vs. student! 🎸🎸🔥
15:57: So I was raised on this movie and grew up in Canada and it wasn't until I went to Hong Kong in 2011 that I got the joke here. The difference between Kowloon Bay and Hong Kong proper is literally like a 10 minute slowboat door to door. Meaning you'd have to be like AI to detect the difference in accent, if any.
Popping in to echo your love for Garth, he’s my favorite. :D
Also, my friends and I used the “CAR!… Game on!” Line So. Many. Times. We were very fond of using sidewalk chalk on streets, so it was necessary. 😂
This movie was my childhood. I'm happy you had a great time with it, and I'm sure the sequel will make you wheeze too.
If you haven't seen it, Clerks is a great 90s comedy, combining buddy, stoner and dark humor.
I forgot how much this movie rules. Thanks for reminding me. 😊
Wayne’s World began as a skit on Saturday Night Live…the skit was so popular that they decided to make two movies.
He’s talking about the net they might use to catch crazy people.
Just an absolute classic 😂 It’s comfortably in the top 10 of my top 3 favorite movies of all time
“Party on, Jen!” 🎸
