Doesn't hold up.


I tried watching this one again after having not seen it in years and it just wasn't as funny as I remember it being. I guess it's better left as a memory.

Thank you for sharing your opinion with us. Now that the great matthewcs25 has ceremoniously declared his stance on whether or not "Wayne's World" has stood the test of time, there's nothing left to discuss on these boards. Pack it up, let's all go home.

I'm 28, never saw SNL growing up, just watched Wayne's World for the first time, laughed quite a lot, for various reasons. I think it holds up alright for at least an initial viewing - it's a fun hour and a half of charming 90's stupidity.

Look it's a hole of a donkey. He doesn't think other people are allowed to have an opinion

Thanks. That sarcasm was hilarious!

Oh, the douchebags from IMDB. I miss making them look silly.

I agree Matthew. I just tried and failed. I really wanted to like it still, but just couldn't get through it all :(
Oh, and bhenry. You're an ass and a troll. A troll's ass.

I never liked this movie, even when it was first released to my college theater.

I didn't enjoy other movies of that era like Dumb and Dumber, or Ace Ventura which were based on the stupidity of the characters
.

reply

I liked the characters in WW more than the movies you mentioned, because they seemed sweet and clueless.
The other movies you mentioned, the characters were full-on retards, extremely obnoxious.
But that's just my take.

It really doesn't unfortunately.

Matthewcs25 I tend to think as we get older our humor changes.. I myself agree I don't find it as funny but I plan on watching it with my 11 yr old son next weekend when I have him and I suspect he will find it hilarious .. I think it's very juvenile humor he will love.

reply

And yet I watched an old season of the Simpsons the other day and it was absolutely hilarious. While what you saying is true that we change as we get older, I think times change too. A bit like how some styles are timeless and others look awful now.

I agree. I loved this movie and the Wayne's World skits on SNL as a kid. A couple of years ago I saw Wayne's World on DVD for 5 bucks and I bought it. I made it about half way through the movie before I shut it off. This movie and it's humor just doesn't stand the test of time at all. I ended up selling it at a yard sale for a dollar.

This movie can get you to smirk sometimes, but I never found it funny enough to break out laughing, even as a kid. Yet, this film has this "something" that makes it more tolerable and actually likable than other SNL-sketch-based films I've seen so far. Many of the jokes were funnier at the time because it was what everybody saw frequently in the media (the sponsors scene, and robert patrick parodying his T-1000 role), but as the internet has helped broaden our minds by through countless of videos and articles from different dates and time periods, this film's humor has much less of an impact. While Wayne's world has aged really badly, it's at least one of those films that deserve to be put in a time capsule.

i agree, doesn't hold up for new generations of kids.

If Wayne's World was made today, then Wayne and Garth would no doubt be hosting their show on YouTube instead of public access.

reply

Well, I saw it twenty years ago, in 1995, then a few times these last years, and then a last time today: I still love it, from the beginning to the end.

reply

The movie is just alright. The original Wayne's World sketches on SNL hold up much better.
