Ah, so it’s an unfunny joke playing off an absurdist commercial. Mike Meyers really knows his material.

More of a you had to be there to appreciate the joke. Objectively no, it’s not funny. But those commercials were so common that it became a minor cultural touchstone of the era.
ETA: I was more posting it as a remark on Trump’s gauchely absurdist nouveau riche lifestyle than expecting anyone to laugh at the joke.

Thanks for the explanation. Can’t say I’ve ever seen Wayne’s World proper, but all the “side splitting” clips always seem just tedious to me.

A lot of those sort of films were intended to be, in a way, deliberately ironically dumb. They don’t age well.

There’s a lot more of that on her yoga site. But I think that’s a thing in the yoga world. The word that comes to mind for me is “Malibu.”

Despite some compelling evidence to the contrary, Mike Meyers really was a very funny man for a good chunk of the 1990s. A lot of the jokes aged terribly though.

You’ll enjoy this video. Sam Bee is the best.

You kind of had to have been alive as an adult and aware of pop culture when this movie came out to get the silly jokes contained within.
It’s not like we all laughed out loud at that. But the movie overall was fun.

I LOVED her work on the book, “Democracy Inaction”, so I do know how great she is already.
