Funny / Wayne's World

Wayne's World

"No Stairway! Denied!"

• Garth: "Have you ever found Bugs Bunny attractive when he dressed up as a girl bunny?"
• "Have you seen this boy?"
  AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
• "Bohemian Rhapsody". So funny the already awesome video got a version with Wayne and Garth lip-synching!
• Shwing!
• "Phil, what are you doing here? You're partied out, man. Again."
• When Wayne and Garth ask the Gasworks' bouncer who's playing:
  Tiny: The Jolly Green Giants, and The Shitty Beatles.
  Wayne: The Shitty Beatles? Are they any good?
  Tiny: They suck.
  Wayne: Well, then it's not just a clever name!
• The screen flashes the message: "Gratuitous sex scene''!
  Wayne: Excellent.
• Wayne's first venture into commercial television is irritating him, and he's not too fond of his new sponsor. He asks the head tech, "Can I borrow your marker? I need to make some notes." And he takes the stage, ready to interview the sponsor with some carefully prepared messages on the backs of the cue cards.
  SPHINCTER BOY (with the arrow pointed at Noah)
  HE BLOWS GOATS. I HAVE PROOF.
  THIS MAN HAS NO PENIS.
• The interesting - and awkward - scene featuring Alice Cooper and his penchant for the history of Milwaukee.
  Wayne: Does this guy know how to party or what?!
• The scene with the guys first arriving at the donut shop. Take your pick: Glen managing to steal the camera away from Wayne or Garth managing to psyche out the camera and escape.
• Wayne, Garth, and Cassandra go to a music store so Wayne can shop for a guitar. Wayne tries one out, and the salesman stops him and points to a sign that says "NO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN"
  Wayne: No Stairway! Denied!
• When Cassandra and Wayne are talking to each other in Cantonese, the subtitles become so much longer than the words they're speaking that Wayne pauses for them to finish while looking very annoyed.
• The Product Placement gags, where they say it's wrong to sell out while making Product Placement after Product Placement. As it goes on, they start becoming pastiches of actual commercials of the time, including pain reliever Nuprin, and Pepsi.
  Garth (while wearing Reebok apparel): It's like people only do things because they get paid. And that's just really sad.
• When Benjamin approaches Garth about the changes he wants to make, Garth states awkwardly "We fear change." While Benjamin's been talking to him, Garth has this crazy wired headgear connected to what looks like a robot arm on a table in front of him; the hand seemingly activates and Garth proceeds to smash it repeatedly with a hammer. Benjamin remains silent as this happens and simply gives Garth a look.
• "What's that, girl? Aliens have kidnapped Wayne? *dog barks* "Oh, I misunderstood. Wayne's outside."
  • The fact that Garth's dog has '80s Hair and wears spiky bracelets on her paws.
• invoked When Wayne and Garth are given the contract from Benjamin to sign, Garth pointedly knocks his pen off the table so he can talk to the audience about what's transpiring... by describing a nonexistent Twilight Zone episode:
  Garth: (shoves pen off the table) Uh, I dropped my pen. (motions to the camera to follow him under the table; to the audience) Hi. Um, does this seem weird? I mean, why does this guy have contracts? Did ya ever see the Twilight Zone where the guy signed a contract, and they cut out his tongue and they put in a jar, and it wouldn't die, it grew and pulsated and gave birth to baby tongues? Pretty cool, huh? I gotta go. (grabs pen; gets up)

Wayne's World 2

• Cassandra comes home with records she got at a garage sale, and Wayne isn't impressed by her copy of Frampton Comes Alive:
  Wayne: Exqueese me? Have I seen this one before? Frampton Comes Alive? Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs, you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of Tide.
  • The same scene has mentions of Faberge shampoo (specifically their "and they tell two friends" commercials) and Calgon.
• The mock martial arts fight. "Could you hold on? I have call waiting."
  Cassandra: Aiii-eeeeeeee!!!
• CASSAAAAAAAAAAAANDRA! CASSAAAAAAAAAAAANDRAAAAAAAAAAA!
• Any scene with Del Preston in it.
• The scene with the partial ocular albino (played by Kevin Pollak) is side-splittingly funny.
• Garth's awkwardness while Honey is attempting to seduce him.
  Honey: Take me, Garth.
  Garth: Where? I'm low on gas and you need a jacket.
  Honey: I'm going to be frank.
  Garth: Okay... can I still be Garth?
• Almost literally wheeling out Charlton Heston for a one-scene cameo.
  Wayne: Thank you...
• "Look. There goes Garth and his friend Wayne, the psychopath."
• Wayne doesn't quite grasp the role of a Spirit Advisor.
  Jim Morrison: Ask me a question.
  Wayne: OK. Two trains are travelling at 60 miles an hour, one from Chicago, one from Los Angeles...
  Jim Morrison: No, I mean ask me a question about your life.
• I'M THE LEPRECHAUN!!!^note DON'T TRY TO STEAL ME POT OF GOLD!!
• When Garth and Honey arrive back at her home after their date, Honey puts on some soft, romantic music. Garth, oblivious to the fact that she's seducing him, asks if she has any Megadeth.
• Wayne, to Milton during the roadie training:
  Wayne: You're worthless! You're less than nothing! What's keeping you here? You don't belong here! Why don't you just quit?
  Milton: 'Cause I got no place else to go!
• The first time Wayne has a vision of a naked Native American in his apartment, he's blinded by a flash of light when he's transported to the desert. Later in the film, he's visited by the Native American a second time. This time, he's ready for the flash and covers his eyes before being transported to the desert.
• During the parody of The Graduate, Wayne enters the Second Presbyterian Church and sees what he think is Cassandra getting married, only to discover it's a completely different couple getting married and he went in the wrong building. It turns out he wanted the First Presbyterian Church, an identical building located just across the street.
• The scene with Handsome Dan, who isn't as handsome as his name suggests. Wayne and Garth plug Waynefest on his show, but quickly realize that Dan's barely listening while he loads more tapes.
  Wayne: You're not listening, are you?
  Dan: Uh-huh.
  Wayne: I could say anything, like "you're a complete tool".
  Dan: Uh-huh.
  Wayne: You wouldn't hear, 'cause you're a freak with a microphone.
  Dan: Uh-huh.
  Wayne: It's not challenging any more. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. True, Sphincter Boy?
  Dan: Uh-huh.
• Wayne: "I'm just gonna to stay here and lick the cat's butt."
• Wayne and Garth trying to take advantage of the donut shop's policy of an order being free if they mess it up by deliberately omitting words while using the speaker (mouthing the omitted words for the camera, making it seem like the drive thru microphone is broken) only for the guy on the other end of the line to fully understand anyway.

Both

• Extreme close-up! WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
• WE'RE NOT WORTHY!
• A sphincter says what?
• Ex-squeeze me?
• Their ruminations on Keith Richards, and how "[he] cannot be killed by conventional weapons."

Other

• The Wayne's World VCR game. With dead silence, Dead Air, a lack of energy, constant mugging, lame jokes, Wayne and Garth being filmed separately, poor editing throughout and a cringe-inducingly awkward atmosphere throughout makes watching the video a borderline avant-garde experience. See for yourself.
