Why does everyone like this movie? i watched it and i though it was crap. Not to mention that Dana Cravey is extremely unfunny.

so... whats the deal with this movie?

I have to say I didn't find it all that funny either although everyone has different senses of humour, I guess it appealed to enough people to make it a classic.

Sj, I imagine you're the type of person who laughs at shows like Jackass and people getting run over?

I think it's one of those movies that was funny at the time just because it was so original, but has lost its bite thanks to being over-quoted. Mike Myers' style of humour isn't overly sophisticated (which isn't a bad thing at all, BTW) but is very immediate, and at that point 9the early 90s) there really wasn't much comedy around about rock fans - bands yes, but very little about the culture of rock fandom, which is why Wayne's World (and let's not forget Bill & Ted) were such a breath of fresh air.
Unfortunately, it became so much a part of the culture what with being endlessly quoted, it became stale. It's a disadvantage to Mike Myers' comedy, I think - Austin Powers has gone exactly the same way.

I reall like the movie. I also think this is the only instance where the sequel is better than the original.

I don't like it

Never seen it, but I'm not gonna like it anyway because I find 99% of all movies boring.

What about Godfather 2? Ehh? Ehh?
Or maybe even Empire Strikes Back compared to A New Hope? Ehh?

I haven't seen WW in a while, but it usually gets a couple of giggles out of me.

Waynes World always has me pissing myself in laughter. I think that if you dont think about the jokes then they work. Its really basic comedy but it works.

Also it really helps if you have had a few beers.

Oh another sequel better than the origional - ghostbusters 2.

Oh no. I swore I'd never do this on an internet message board, but Mr Chimp, you've pushed me to it. May you burn in Hell.

Ok, I'll give you Godfather 2, but ESB was boring! Ghostbusters 2 was very 'meh'.
