Awesome / Wayne's World

Go To

  • Charlton Heston's Crowning Cameo Of Awesome in Wayne's World 2. Some acting classes even show that scene to students to demonstrate the difference between just reading lines and actually acting.
  • Wayne managing to learn conversational Cantonese in a matter of days, including rather unusual words. It's generally considered to be one of the most difficult languages for English speakers to learn.
  • Garth saying that he'll kill Honey's husband but once away from her refuses to do it.
  • The YMCA scene in the second film, which you can see coming a mile away. While spying on Cassandra and Bobby, Wayne, Garth and their friends, who coincidentally are dressed like the Village People for a disguise, have to run away from Bobby. They end up running in to a gay bar and attempt to escape through the exit at the back of the stage. They can't, and the DJ notices them and starts playing "YMCA." They make the best of the predicament and proceed to bring the house down with their rendition of the song while, simultaneously, the crowd prevents Bobby from getting to them.
  • During Wayne's tirade on the camera, the camera walks away. It pretty much means the camera man (and by extension, the audience) isn't taking Wayne's crap anymore.
  • Steven freaking Tyler telling the boys that yes, they are worthy!
  • Waynestock. When they actually pull it off, that is.
  • Garth using a home-made taser at the Gasworks to fend off a jackass who shoved him. While he's prepping the tazer (with a toolbelt that makes it look almost like a Kamen Rider belt), the Mission: Impossible theme plays to psych everyone up; once he sends the guy flying back and into a table, the others around him applaud. "Thank you!"
  • Wayne's crew using the silent countdown trick that they learned about earlier in the movie during their climactic broadcast. As bad as it was to almost have their show stolen, it's nice to see that they did manage to get some real tips about filming out of the experience.
  • Minor: When Wayne and Garth show up at the donut shop, and Wayne introduces the audience to Glen, he manages to steal the camera away with just a nod.
    Wayne: (to the audience; Glen stares blankly at the camera) This is the manager, Glen. He's here 24 hours a day. I recommend the sugar pucks. They're excellent. (Glen nods to the left) Come on.
    (the camera follows Glen)
    Wayne: (from offscreen) Hello! (pops back into frame; to Glen) What do you think you're doing? Only me and Garth get to talk to the camera. (to the audience) Come on.
