Storyline

Wayne is still living at home. He has a world class collection of name tags from jobs he's tried, but he does have his own public access TV show. A local station decides to hire him and his sidekick, Garth, to do their show professionally and Wayne & Garth find that it is no longer the same. Wayne falls for a bass guitarist and uses his and Garth's Video contacts to help her career along, knowing that Ben Oliver, the sleazy advertising guy who is ruining their show will probably take her away from him if they fail. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Trivia

Dana Carvey stated in interviews to promote this film during its theatrical run, that he developed severe pain in his jaw due to Garth's overbite, and that he spent his nights after filming had wrapped for the day with bags of ice held to the sides of his face. See more »

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): At the start of the "gratuitous sex scene", Wayne is alternating opening and closing his eyes, saying "Camera 1" and "Camera 2". When he starts, "Camera 1" is closer to Cassandra's left than "Camera 2", meaning that Camera 1 is Wayne's right eye, and Camera 2 is his left eye. At the end of that part of the scene, however, he says "Camera 2" last, but his right eye is open, which should be Camera 1 if he had been consistent. See more »

Crazy Credits

Wayne: "Right, excellent movie. All right!"
Garth: "Good one!"
[Fade in to Wayne and Garth on their basement couch]
Wayne: "All right. Well that's all the time we have for our movie.
We hope you found it entertaining, whimsical and yet relevant, with an
underlined revisionist conceit that belie the film's emotional attachments
to the subject matter."
Garth: "I just hope you didn't think it sucked!"
Wayne: "Okay, so thank you for coming. Good night and party on!"
Garth: "Party on, Wayne!"
Wayne: "Party on, Garth!"
