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.
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.
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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
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
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....
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
I began watching this reaction video and then stopped, pulled out my DVD of Wayne's World, watched it, and then came back to watch the rest of this video.
The Gasworks was a bar on Yonge St in Toronto.. entrance had gas lamps... hard rock, beer in quart bottles, heavy wood benches. Used to love going to that place. No longer exists but Mike immortalized the name forever in this movie. Back when Toronto still had character.
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!"
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.
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.
Me, my brother and sister grew up watching Wayne's World and the sequel all the time. Cannot tell you how many times we re-enacted the Bohemian Rhapsody scene in the car. The theme park which was closest to us, Carowinds, used to have a section of the park that was Wayne's World themed. There was a rollercoaster called The Hurler, a food shop that looked like Stan Mikita's, a gift shop that looked like the guitar shop in the movie and the limousine version of Garth's car that appears in the sequel. The roller coaster is the only thing that remains.
The diner owner who kept going on about his “fantasies” of hurting people I will say was Ed O’Neil. He was in the Middle of Married with Children being on of the biggest shows on TV fame. So if was a little weird seeing him in a movie as this was still a time TV actors and movie actors didn’t do both often. However he fit the role so well.
I graduated from high school in 1992 and this was one of my favorite things. I saw it in the theater twice and then got the VHS. Excellent choice!✌🏻👩🏻🦰👍🏻. I was in love with Terry. ❤
I grew up in Scarborough, Ontario which is part of Toronto. When I was in grade 8, Jim Carrey was in grade 11 at the high school I would attend the following year. It was one major street East of my house. Carrey was only at that school for his grade 11 year, so I never ran into him. My last year of high school I switched schools to one that was one major block West of my house, and attended the high school that Mike Meyers had graduated from just the year before. Needless to say, I really relate to a lot of the juvenile humour bits and references those two great Canadian comedians would become famous for. The airport scene was something we would actually do in high school in the early 80s. The Toronto Airport had a runway with a doughnut shop on the other side of the road that ran along the end of the airport. The planes would fly super low right over the parking. We would lay on the hoods of our giant 70s cars, and get buzzed by the planes. I couldn’t believe it when ten years later I was watching that personal memory play out in a movie theatre. The doughnut shop in the film is a Stan Makita’s Donuts which is a spoof of Tim Horton’s Donuts. Both hockey players are of the same era and only Horton opened up a successful doughnut business. It’s still a thing. Thanks for making videos eh.
Yes, when Mike Myers joined SNL Dana Carvey was practically the star of the show at the time. He had many popular characters, including the first President Bush (pretty much any impression of Bush done by anyone was a copy of Carvey's ever since). Myers came in as a featured player after the popular cast including Carvey and Phil Hartman had been at it for 2 or 3 years.
Part of how my Son got his Middle Name, we were in the Hospital after his Birth deciding the Names in 2007, she wanted "Wayne" because of one of her Uncle's or a Guy who was best Friends with her Dad and had passed, because of "Bruce Wayne", "Wayne's World", Etc, I said yeah, so he was Named "Dennis Wayne Harris"! I LOVE HOW IT GOES TOGETHER "DENNIS WAYNE! GET YOUR BUTT BACK IN THIS HOUSE!!!" LOL, about to watch your Reactions, I was born in 86 and watched this Movie since it was New and "Wayne's World 2"!! I LOVE THESE MOVIES!!! I hope you don't mind me sharing, ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHANNELS! PARTY ON!!!
Glad you liked it! I can't express how much this film means to me, saw it theaters when I was 7 and had it on VHS.. I obviously got more references and jokes as I got older.. it's so quotable, one of my all-time favorite comedies.. the sequel is good too..
I'm SO HAPPY you both understood and loved the Laverne and Shirley bit! I watched the hell out of the VHS in the 90s and that part always made me giggle extra hard 😊
Shanelle, this movie was iconic in the mid 90's. I never knew this was originally from SNL. To be fair that wasn't broadcast in my country. When I spent a year as a Senior HS exchange student in the US this movie was everything. Replayed and quoted to infinity.
I didn't watch T-2 until long after watching Wayne's World on VHS, and did not remember that bit from Wayne's World at all. So when I rewatched Wayne's World months after finally watching T-2 and long after having Wayne's World on VHS, I was in hysterics with the T-1000 scene.
love Ed O'Niell's character in this. He was still doing "Married With Children" series when he appeared in this movie. Now there is an animated reboot of Married With Children coming soon with the original cast.
You're exactly right about Stairway to Heaven -- in the theater they played the REAL song, but on VHS and every iteration after it's been that other cord progression.
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 !
Big props to knowing Laverne and Shirley 😁💗 Love Waynes World. It came out my senior year of high school and has been a comfort watch for me ever since ❤ Definitely check out the sequel at some point. Its somewhat less iconic but IMHO is just as fun, well written, and well executed. Lots of references and bits as well. You'll love it 🙃😉
Shanelle, there is another pair of characters from a sketch show that had there own movie that was based in Canada. On the show SCTV, Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas created the brothers, Bob and Doug McKenzie. Their sketch on the show was called 'The Great White North'. They would sit and riff about silly topics. They released their movie in 1982. It is dumb fun like Wayne's World.
The best part about that was they were told the show needed "more Canadian content," so it's them sitting around in touques, drinking beer, and eating donuts, while talking in very rural accents
About your champagne question, yes, it is 100% true, it’s our pride (I’m French and from the Champagne-Ardennes region), and even crazier, it’s only selected vineyards, not all of them has the Champagne appellation 🍾 Love your reactions btw, it’s so nice to see you react to movies that made my childhood 😁 From France with love 🇫🇷🤍
I need to recommend one of my favorite comedy gems that came out in 94. Airheads starring Brendan Fraser, Steve, Buscemi, and Adam Sandler. They’re all three in a rock band and they hold a radio station hostage until they play their single on the air. I don’t ever hear anybody talking about this movie. It doesn’t have as many SNL people in it, but it does have a gratuitous Chris Farley cameo. 😁😁
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.
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.
Queen were always big in my country, New Zealand. But in my senior year of high school (1997), we did a skit playing out a courtroom scene along to Bohemian Rhapsody, peaking with the judge, jury and family of the defendant all headbanging, etc. It probably wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Wayne's World.
@@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. 🧐
Instantly luved these guys when i was a kid but the most surreal thing was watching them drive from aurora into my city and straight through the streets i grew up on. made it even more fun : D
My older sister gave me a copy of this on VHS. Then my friend became obsessed and would come to my house literally every day for a summer wanting to watch it.
Mike Meyers grew up in Toronto (Aurora is near there), and was a big Toronto Maple Leaf (hockey) fan. Former Maple leaf player Tim Horton created the Tim Horton's coffee and donut franchise in Canada. Meyer Americanized it by naming his after Chicago Blackhawk player Stan Mikita.
I got this on VHS when I was 12 and watched it endlessly. Every adult in my house hated it, but I thought it was hilarious. Some parts really hold up, and I still think it's fun, especially for an SNL based movie.
One of the the weirdest things I saw in school was there were young women who loved the whole "Schwing!!" thing of Wayne's World from SNL, and they'd do the thing (swing their hips up) and say "Schwing!!" every time they liked something a lot, like getting tickets to a rock concert, or something. They were doing that way more than guys were. It felt like they missed the point. Hello! "Schwing" is the sound made when drawing a sword out of a scabbard! 'Nuff said...

Frank Sharp is played by Frank DiLeo who also played Tuddy Cicero in Goodfellas and was also Michael Jackson's manager.
dude.... serious?! you never saw this? WOW. This shaped my childhood and was my introduction to Queen.
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.
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 :)
Great movie. Bravo you are the first reactor to recognize Lavern and Shirley
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
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
Finally someone who recognizes the L&S bit and actually appreciates it :)
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....
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.
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.
I cracked up at that the first time I watched it. That question was so out of left field. It was hilarious.
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.
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.
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.

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.
yesss this is what i found out after the fact!
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...
The quintessence of Gen-X. This movie.
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.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 congratulations!😁🤣
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
22:42 - Yep, that's Fahrley.
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.
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
🤣😅🤣🤪😅🤣 only al wouldn't kill Jefferson.
It really makes sense now 🤔
He would have plucked Marcy.
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.
I began watching this reaction video and then stopped, pulled out my DVD of Wayne's World, watched it, and then came back to watch the rest of this video.
The Gasworks was a bar on Yonge St in Toronto.. entrance had gas lamps... hard rock, beer in quart bottles, heavy wood benches. Used to love going to that place. No longer exists but Mike immortalized the name forever in this movie. Back when Toronto still had character.
There are so many Toronto and Scarborough (suburb) in-jokes in this film. Crucial Taunt was an actual band my old bandmate was in.
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.
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!"
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.
What sticks out most to be about this movie is the heavy ‘80s-‘90s vibe about it, and the humor is such quirky fun.
Thank you for being the only person so far to actually get the laverne and Shirley reference. I love you for that
This is such a product of its time. Its like a nostalgia cake for me, so many layers. The baggy suits, ferns, so much was just normal then lol.
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.
Me, my brother and sister grew up watching Wayne's World and the sequel all the time. Cannot tell you how many times we re-enacted the Bohemian Rhapsody scene in the car. The theme park which was closest to us, Carowinds, used to have a section of the park that was Wayne's World themed. There was a rollercoaster called The Hurler, a food shop that looked like Stan Mikita's, a gift shop that looked like the guitar shop in the movie and the limousine version of Garth's car that appears in the sequel. The roller coaster is the only thing that remains.
The diner owner who kept going on about his “fantasies” of hurting people I will say was Ed O’Neil. He was in the Middle of Married with Children being on of the biggest shows on TV fame. So if was a little weird seeing him in a movie as this was still a time TV actors and movie actors didn’t do both often. However he fit the role so well.
I graduated from high school in 1992 and this was one of my favorite things. I saw it in the theater twice and then got the VHS. Excellent choice!✌🏻👩🏻🦰👍🏻. I was in love with Terry. ❤
I grew up in Scarborough, Ontario which is part of Toronto. When I was in grade 8, Jim Carrey was in grade 11 at the high school I would attend the following year. It was one major street East of my house. Carrey was only at that school for his grade 11 year, so I never ran into him.
My last year of high school I switched schools to one that was one major block West of my house, and attended the high school that Mike Meyers had graduated from just the year before.
Needless to say, I really relate to a lot of the juvenile humour bits and references those two great Canadian comedians would become famous for.
The airport scene was something we would actually do in high school in the early 80s. The Toronto Airport had a runway with a doughnut shop on the other side of the road that ran along the end of the airport. The planes would fly super low right over the parking. We would lay on the hoods of our giant 70s cars, and get buzzed by the planes. I couldn’t believe it when ten years later I was watching that personal memory play out in a movie theatre.
The doughnut shop in the film is a Stan Makita’s Donuts which is a spoof of Tim Horton’s Donuts. Both hockey players are of the same era and only Horton opened up a successful doughnut business. It’s still a thing.
Thanks for making videos eh.
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. 🧐
During the movie I thought you got the grey poupon commercial joke. It ran in the 80s & 90s It's, All over UA-cam If you want a reference
Yes, when Mike Myers joined SNL Dana Carvey was practically the star of the show at the time. He had many popular characters, including the first President Bush (pretty much any impression of Bush done by anyone was a copy of Carvey's ever since). Myers came in as a featured player after the popular cast including Carvey and Phil Hartman had been at it for 2 or 3 years.
Part of how my Son got his Middle Name, we were in the Hospital after his Birth deciding the Names in 2007, she wanted "Wayne" because of one of her Uncle's or a Guy who was best Friends with her Dad and had passed, because of "Bruce Wayne", "Wayne's World", Etc, I said yeah, so he was Named "Dennis Wayne Harris"! I LOVE HOW IT GOES TOGETHER "DENNIS WAYNE! GET YOUR BUTT BACK IN THIS HOUSE!!!" LOL, about to watch your Reactions, I was born in 86 and watched this Movie since it was New and "Wayne's World 2"!! I LOVE THESE MOVIES!!! I hope you don't mind me sharing, ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHANNELS! PARTY ON!!!
I always think of Wayne's World as a 90's version of the early 80's Strange Brew. Strange Brew is very idiotic/fun.
Glad you liked it! I can't express how much this film means to me, saw it theaters when I was 7 and had it on VHS.. I obviously got more references and jokes as I got older.. it's so quotable, one of my all-time favorite comedies.. the sequel is good too..
Thanks, Shanelle! 🌐 Penelope Spheeris directed this one.
I'm SO HAPPY you both understood and loved the Laverne and Shirley bit! I watched the hell out of the VHS in the 90s and that part always made me giggle extra hard 😊
Shanelle, this movie was iconic in the mid 90's.
I never knew this was originally from SNL. To be fair that wasn't broadcast in my country. When I spent a year as a Senior HS exchange student in the US this movie was everything. Replayed and quoted to infinity.
I didn't watch T-2 until long after watching Wayne's World on VHS, and did not remember that bit from Wayne's World at all. So when I rewatched Wayne's World months after finally watching T-2 and long after having Wayne's World on VHS, I was in hysterics with the T-1000 scene.
love Ed O'Niell's character in this. He was still doing "Married With Children" series when he appeared in this movie. Now there is an animated reboot of Married With Children coming soon with the original cast.
I remember seeing this in the theater, and when they all start head banging during Bohemian Rhapsody I was in tears. Such a fun movie.
22:47 Bet "Both Shrek's in one shot" wasn't on your bingo card for things happening in this movie.
This movie was a huge part of my childhood. First movie I ever memorized and could recite beginning to end. A true classic.
You're exactly right about Stairway to Heaven -- in the theater they played the REAL song, but on VHS and every iteration after it's been that other cord progression.
"Unloading" the flashlight gets me everytime.
By far my favorite gag.
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 !
Big props to knowing Laverne and Shirley 😁💗
Love Waynes World. It came out my senior year of high school and has been a comfort watch for me ever since ❤
Definitely check out the sequel at some point. Its somewhat less iconic but IMHO is just as fun, well written, and well executed. Lots of references and bits as well. You'll love it 🙃😉
Shanelle, there is another pair of characters from a sketch show that had there own movie that was based in Canada. On the show SCTV, Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas created the brothers, Bob and Doug McKenzie. Their sketch on the show was called 'The Great White North'. They would sit and riff about silly topics. They released their movie in 1982. It is dumb fun like Wayne's World.
The best part about that was they were told the show needed "more Canadian content," so it's them sitting around in touques, drinking beer, and eating donuts, while talking in very rural accents
About your champagne question, yes, it is 100% true, it’s our pride (I’m French and from the Champagne-Ardennes region), and even crazier, it’s only selected vineyards, not all of them has the Champagne appellation 🍾
Love your reactions btw, it’s so nice to see you react to movies that made my childhood 😁
From France with love 🇫🇷🤍
"So they're kinda idiots? Half idiots? They're idiots. " lol
Glad you loved Milwaukee. I live 15 minutes west :)
Great reaction as always, Shanelle! Your commentary is always so insightful and fun!
I need to recommend one of my favorite comedy gems that came out in 94. Airheads starring Brendan Fraser, Steve, Buscemi, and Adam Sandler. They’re all three in a rock band and they hold a radio station hostage until they play their single on the air. I don’t ever hear anybody talking about this movie. It doesn’t have as many SNL people in it, but it does have a gratuitous Chris Farley cameo. 😁😁
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.
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.
The girl band is a real group. Cassandra is really singing these songs. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸 💖 ❤❤
You should check out "Airheads", very similar vibe to this but with Brendan Fraser - Adam Sandler and Steve Buscemi. Totally excellent
Queen were always big in my country, New Zealand. But in my senior year of high school (1997), we did a skit playing out a courtroom scene along to Bohemian Rhapsody, peaking with the judge, jury and family of the defendant all headbanging, etc. It probably wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Wayne's World.
I think this movie resonated with people because it captured that post-80s, MTV-watching, Bill & Ted-esque "excellent!" moment in time.
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.

Instantly luved these guys when i was a kid but the most surreal thing was watching them drive from aurora into my city and straight through the streets i grew up on. made it even more fun : D
My older sister gave me a copy of this on VHS. Then my friend became obsessed and would come to my house literally every day for a summer wanting to watch it.
Mike Meyers grew up in Toronto (Aurora is near there), and was a big Toronto Maple Leaf (hockey) fan. Former Maple leaf player Tim Horton created the Tim Horton's coffee and donut franchise in Canada. Meyer Americanized it by naming his after Chicago Blackhawk player Stan Mikita.
I was like 13 or 14 and it was watched at every sleepover for a couple years it seemed.
I got this on VHS when I was 12 and watched it endlessly. Every adult in my house hated it, but I thought it was hilarious. Some parts really hold up, and I still think it's fun, especially for an SNL based movie.
One of the the weirdest things I saw in school was there were young women who loved the whole "Schwing!!" thing of Wayne's World from SNL, and they'd do the thing (swing their hips up) and say "Schwing!!" every time they liked something a lot, like getting tickets to a rock concert, or something. They were doing that way more than guys were. It felt like they missed the point. Hello! "Schwing" is the sound made when drawing a sword out of a scabbard! 'Nuff said...
The car scene by the Airport was in Canada and was the final scene they shot to wrap up Production.
The downtown shot with the L train is Chicago, Pacer on the freeway also, but travelling in the opposite direction from Milwaukee
