    Wayne's World, starring a first-time-on-a-film-set Mike Meyers, is as hilarious now as it was when I was a kid. It's fun, it's light, it's got lovable and layered characters. But it didn't just come out of nowhere. Wayne's World is the culmination of a long evolution of the Wayne Campbell character, since long before his stint on Saturday Night Live. So today, I'm gonna take a look back at where Mike Meyers got started, and how he ended up developing Wayne into the dude we know him as today.

    Hey everybody! Just a quick shoutout. This weekend, my dear friend Julien Kerknawi released his first feature film THE LAST FRONT in theaters. It’s a really huge deal. It stars Game of Thrones actor Iain Glen. A gorgeously shot and intimate WW1 action epic. And I just know it would mean the world to him if you made an evening of it and went to check it out. I’ve seen it twice now, and it’s seriously a spectacular achievement. The dude’s my age, and he’s making me feel like I’ve got a LOT of catching up to do :) But truly. Support up-and-coming filmmakers, support your local cinemas. It’s not every day we get to bring our art and our passion to the masses. And it’s a moment well worth championing.
    Julien, you got this.

      Great video, as always, but I will say I lost a lot of respect for Mike Myers when it became known that he was mistreating people around him a la Ellen style.
      I think he's an incredibly talented and funny guy, but he shouldn't be mistreating others. That's just something I'll never understand, I suppose.

    True story: After the Grey Poupon commercials, I always carried a plastic single-serve packet of Grey Poupon in my jacket pocket at all times. It took two years, but at last, I was able to pay off the gag when someone (rhetorically) asked if I had any Grey Poupon-to which I answered, "but of course" producing the packet and surprising all.

      I once bought 2 sets of Allen keys from the hardware store put them on the hall stand and went to fridge and cracked a beer when the doorbell rang and a guy at the door somewhat apologetically said “Hey sorry to bother you but I’ve just moved over in over the road and I was wondering if I could borrow a set of Allen keys?”
      “Metric or Imperial?” I asked.
      “err metric?”
      Wordlessly I reached behind me and passed them to him.
      His mind was completely blown lol.

    These movies are such a great time capsule. They came near the end of a pre-internet, pre-media-saturated, world where for many folks being in your teens and early 20s was about crappy jobs, bumming around your town, and a shared monoculture of references. I don't know if they hold up for everyone, but they do for me because I was there--the bones of it weren't much different from my own high school life. I'd be curious to know if Wayne's World resonates for younger folks.

      I was born in 81. Wayne's World was definitely HUGE in terms of zeitgeist in my school in the furthest reaches of the Philly suburbs. My friends and I would quote it all the time and LOVED it. It was wonderful. But it didn't resonate with a 'That's a representation of me.' type of thing. I think if I was 3 or 4 years older it would have though. I don't know how old Wayne and Garth were supposed to be but I imagine they were 23-25 or so, but also just a bit immature, so they 'felt' like 17-20.

    Fun Fact: Apparently Wayne's World was super popular in France.
    I met A French family while travelling and we got to talking about movies, The father's favorite movie was Wayne's World. He said that it was very big in France and after travelling around some more I discovered a few more Wayne's World references around the country. In Nice there is a popular bar named Wayne's Bar with a logo that is an almost carbon copy of the globe logo used in the skits and movie. I still don't know why it became so popular over there but it's interesting so I thought I'd share!
    Edit: After looking into it, Wayne's world was popular in France partly because a French comedy duo was hired by Paramount to translate punchlines and jokes to ones that would fit with the French audience. Another speculative reason is that according to that same French family, their own comedies and films in general tend to have a darker tone. Maybe Wayne's World's Lighthearted style was a nice change of pace.

Seventeen years later, at the time of the release of the movie, the song had been semi-forgotten.

    I watched Wayne's World for the first time when I was a young teenager, during a time when my teenage life seemed to share similarities to the skit/movie. The mannerisms, the heavy metal, the street hockey, all of it felt like a humorous yet direct comparison to life as a young street rat metal head in a city of suits. As I get older, I find whenever I watch Wayne's World, I feel like I'm 16 again.

    I had no idea Myers was doing this character before SNL, and didn’t realize how much from the movie was repackaged material from the SNL skits (including Glen). Myers really liked to reuse jokes like that (usually successfully) so it’s not surprising.
    I recently stumbled on a number of conversations about how this movie is overrated, not funny, and hasn’t aged well. I can’t even fathom that thought. I laughed more at the clips in this video than I do at most modern comedies. I’ve quoted and thought about this movie on a regular basis ever since it was released. But I get it. There is just something about comedies that often don’t hit the same way for a future generation as they do for the one it was made for. I’ve watched many comedies from the late 70s and early 80s that are considered classics, that just seem… ok. Maybe it’s watching it with expectations, maybe it’s watching it alone, maybe it’s just that tastes change. Probably a bit of all three. Wayne’s World is no different I guess.

  • @Snipe4261

    The first time I saw Wayne's World was in the fourth grade. One day during school someone called in a bomb threat to the school. The school staff was taking it seriously so first they immediately brought all the students to the gym but they really wanted to get the students completely out of the school building. It was the middle of the day on a weekday and a lot of parents weren't home so they couldn't just release the students and let the kids walk home, they had to try to call all of the parents to come and get their children. The parents that they could get ahold of quickly came to get their kids right away but the parents they couldn't get on the phone (this was before cellphones were common, so it was a real problem to get ahold of someone) didn't know to come get the kids. The school staff couldn't release those kids but also needed to get them all out of the school building. The principal actually lived a block away so all the kids that were left walked together to the principals house and stayed there until they could contact our parents. To keep us occupied and out of trouble we got to watch a movie on the principal's TV. Apparently, the most age appropriate movie they had was Wayne's World. I don't think my parents would have approved but at least it was both memorable and positive for me.

    Napoleon Dynamite is someone who got through high school as a semi well adjusted kid who sat next to and maybe talked to frequently; the weird kid on the bus. Not weird because he lacked something. Rather, this kid was weird because he was a perfectly confident person who was also completely oblivious. He liked what he liked and dressed how he like and spoke how he liked. She didn't care what people thought of her so much it actually didn't occur to her that anyone should disagree with who and what she was. If she wanted to bring her stretch armstrong doll on the bus? You bet she did.
    If he wanted to go to school with a Karate headband on and profess his deep skill at the killing arts and remind others of his careful restraint as a trained deadly weapon? He did.
    The weird kid on the bus never read a self help book and wouldn't write one. They were zen.
    Napoleon Dynamite takes us through life from that person's perspective and asks us to see how it is unusual, absurd, sad and beautiful to be that person. It also asks us if we are truly happy in a life so concerned with fitting in that we never get to be the kind of person who would buy themselves some moon boots and get all the way down for their talent show.
