So I met Pauly Shore when I was 6 years old at the San Diego Zoo (now 25), and ran up and got a picture with him and I remember telling him Bio-Dome was my favorite movie of his. He looked at my parents then back at me and said, “Wow they let you watch that? You have some terrible parents.” Best day at the zoo ever.
DeadBunny69 I was like 13 and in in the army now was pretty ducking funny. I watched it like 5 times. That humor worked back then. Now vulgar shit is frowned upon. You can still do it. But keep the budget small. Like workaholics. Pauly shud try that. Those kids are very similar to him but too much pauly is no good. Need to balance it out.
You can hear the ego when he talks. I don't see him taking part in an ensemble. Or 2nd billing. Even though he's washed up and he does not have the talent to transition.
Hell yea! It ain't over til it's over, I didn't hear no bell, we will not go gently into that good night. My dad had me in his 50s and didn't slow down til his mid to late 70s and lived to be 90.
Pauly Shore misses being young because of his experience. He was larger than life for a short period of time. That’s a crazy thing to achieve and then have taken away so quickly.
yep. i can't blame him for missing it dearly. but is it better to have that and lose it or to never have experienced it at all? the pain from losing it is there but so is the joy. if you never had it then all you have is "pain" from not having it but that pain is no way worse than having the good life then losing it so i think its best to never have the good life lmao. i grew up in the 90s i miss it terribly and i feel like most times i might have been better off not living through it but after seeing how gen Z is, im glad i lived through the 90s. it hurts its gone but it felt so good to experience it. its a catch 22 man. the good with the bad.
I know what Pauly is saying...... the 80's/90's were awesome. I was in my mid teens to mid 20's during this time and I miss it a lot. Less stress, less responsibility, more friends. Was a great time!
Most people love their mid-teens to mid-twenties regardless of the decade, especially when looking back at it. People in their teens and twenties today will look back in 30 years and talk about how great it was. It’s just part of life.
@@MrTickleBean Wrong. Things have changed like never before. The most recent generations are so messed up and miserable it's unreal. People in the future will be trying to recover from the horrific things done to them at "gender clinics". The 80s/90s were good for any age, these times now are awful for all ages, but especially youth.
@@pwilliam255 huh? Who do you think you're fooling? I have screenshots of people saying they knew multiple "gay" and "trans" kids...in FIRST grade. Local hospital says kids can be "trans" at THREE years old. There's now child drag shows all across the nation. Thousands & thousands of kids irreversibly damaged. You belong in prison and we're coming for all of you.
When Pauly basically said his best times make him sad looking back on them i felt that in my soul. Its hard knowing nothing will compare to the "good ole days"
You could just have different days that are good, adapting, vs trying to hold onto what was. Sure it can be hard, or you can just be sad and regretful.
It’s sort of baffling that Joe doesn’t understand that part. It makes perfect sense. I see pictures of me and friends that I don’t care to ever see again, and they still make me sad. I guess sometimes people, myself included, process nostalgia as sadness.
German Ed. Leal Nino yeah he should have been the first Lindsey Lohan but you never hear about him getting into any trouble.. I think he should be very proud.
Man, Pauly Shore isn’t as famous as most celebrities, but I think he’s a swell guy. I hope he knows that there are still people that love him for who he is. It’s a special kind of connection that I feel like “bigger” celebrities can’t have with their fans.
@nsasupporter7557 Yeah look up the box office on his movies...after son in law, he had little box office draw. People associate Paulie as being huge in the 90s, more like early 90s. Mid to late 90s he became more of a punchline to jokes. Guy didn't evolve.
@@user-hz1vc2fj3g yes, that’s what I meant… his career went downhill really fast. Encino Man and Son in Law were his only successful movies, it was all downhill for him after that. You hit the nail on the head when you said he didn’t evolve… that’s the perfect way to put it
I am going to be 40 in a few months and this makes me feel grateful I haven’t made it yet. I feel I am finally on that trajectory and it’s something that’s going to sustain me. I am grateful for the hard times I’ve been through in my life because I am now turning the corner, slowly, but I can feel it.
At 40 now I'm feeling the exact same way, barely turning things around, almost ready to buy a house....however at our age statistically if your still single it's almost an impossibility to start a healthy relationship and start a family which does get me down a bit.
Didnt think he was funny then dont now. Just a washed up performer sad that nobody loves his douchebag comedy anymore. Be happy you had anything at all.
matt buresh great point...he had to change because with age no wants to see an old guy playing a stoner role. An old stoner on film is sad since it shows an adult who was not grown up.
It is good to see him remembering his early years in the entertainment business. He is a very likeable person. I can see why Joe had him come to his show. Hopefully Pauly's podcast does well. He has a natural talent for entertainment.
I feel the same way i miss the late 90s early Y2K like crazy, its depressing when your loved ones start to die, family pets start to die, celebrities you love die, or get older. I came from a large family that came from a larger family, and now its like my elders have all died off, sick, too caught up in bills, ITS OVER WITH. i choked up in tears at my grandmas house this past year cause not only is she and grandpa here but like no one showed up. There literally would be 30 people with guests visiting all throughout the day back in the 90s early & mid 2000s. My favorite aunt who did everything with me died of cancer, cousin died of covid. Man i can go on. I can watch old WWF SMACKDOWN or cartoonetwork/nick shows super easy thanks to current technology. I can play games or rewatch certain movies at anytime. The problem is it will never recapture the old atmosphere that was the late 90s/early 2000s. that feeling of cant waiting to see your friends in school or go hang out with them after school or during the weekend is forever gone. Whenever i see something exciting theres no large gathering or social spaces where your around people who dam near knew you since pre school. I miss hating to go to high school, but loving the activities, field trips, dates etc etc.
Some of us out here still loving the weasel❤ growing up in the 90's on the west coast, Pauly Shore was massive. Biodome is still one of my very favorite movies of all time. I've always thought it was strange that his career wasn't as illustrious as it should have been.
What Pauly is explaining at 2:15 is hard to describe, but I know exactly how he feels. It isn't that you can't do the same things you did when you were younger, it's just that you don't get the same satisfaction out of doing them. And the things you currently enjoy in your life don't quite give you the same level of enjoyment as those other things did when you were younger. You aren't wishing to do those things, you're wishing you still enjoyed doing those things. It's like, I wish I could go outside and play make-believe for 3 hours like I did when I was 8 years old, and have an absolute blast. There's nothing stopping me from doing that, but I just can't possibly enjoy it the same way as I did when I was a kid; it would just be boring as an adult.
That's kind of how I feel about watching Pauly Shore movies. I can certainly still watch them but I can't possibly enjoy them now the same way as I did when I was ten.
I grew up in watching Pauly as a 90's kid, I was a big fan. His movies hit at the right age for my generation at around 14 though 16-ish. So I gotta support my man. I was always bummed that he didn't do other staring roles later in life, but at the same time, he seems to be doing well without those kinds of roles. I and many others will forever be thankful to Pauly for paving the way for so many comedians and actors after him. That's a huge honor to have.
So sad and weird. We all miss our 20s. There's nothing you can do about that. Wishing you could go back is pointless. The best thing you can do is whatever it takes to not look back 20 years from now and keep saying I wish.
He wouldn’t admit this, but he’s not successful anymore because he looks like shit. Nobody is going to give this dude a lead role in a movie. He should have worked out and used facial moisturizer ffs.
I miss the 80s and 90s too, but during those times I took them for granted, and one day I'll look at my life now with nostalgia. Just do one great thing that matters before you die and appreciate the current moments.
Y'all are trash people... This guy was dope he essentially is the first person they exploited for money and ever since Hollywood rides one person until they die
🤯 that’s exactly how I feel as someone in their 40s who had a GREAT 20s for the same reasons. Being young and dumb is underrated. The whole world is open to possibilities and as you get older and experience more the possibilities and wonders get smaller.
Memories good or bad are the saddest things on life. I often feel sadness when I think of other good things in did in the past. I’m no way famous as Pauly, but as having great times with friends in the past puts a tear in my eye. Almost like you want to relive that part of life over again.
reminds me of toboscus, you might think he stopped posting many years ago. but he kept posting the exact same kinda videos as he posted before up until 3-4 months ago or so
THIS GUY WAS LAME BACK THEN - YOU HAD TO BE AN IDIOT TO THINK THIS GUY WAS COOL - I MOVED FROM THE UK TO CALIFORNIA IN 1991 AND SAW THIS STOOGE ON TV AND MOVIES AND THOUGHT WTF ? - NO WONDER SO MANY TALENTLESS FOOLS MOVE TO LA AFTER SEEING THIS GUY MAKE IT
I WAS SO BIG but... - "that movie didn't do as good as the other films..." - "Disney didn't sign me to do more movies..." - "Jury Duty didn't do so good" - "I didn't listen to my agents" - "I got a sitcom on FOX... and that didn't go..." Well, I ain't no Sherlock Holmes, but I can find the common denominator here...
This is the living example of a man who can't generate happiness from within. When they say that fame and money can't make you happy, this is the attitude they're referring to.
@@davidpearson6346 The thing is he's still hanging out in the scene and doing just fine. He still knows everyone and his mom's reputation keeps him well. He definitely needs to look at that deeper.
You can tell he's had a hard time ego wise with the decline, but you can also tell he has chosen the path of inner honesty which is hard to accomplish. Major props to him!
My sister got the chance to meet pauly shore in his prime era in idaho. I cant exactly remember what years but definetly early 2000s she got to hangout with him for the day and got a photo with him and hes kissing her on the cheek and shes all red lol Her name is Kelly, idk if pauly or joe will see this but i know that moment meant the world to my sister! she said pauly shore was fucking awesome and it was literally like a dream to hangout with her favorite tv icon. To this day she still says that was the coolest time of her life. Sadly time has really put alot of hurt on my sis, shes currently in psychiatric care where she self submitted herself to get help dealing with years of trauma and emotional hurt of so many losses in her life. I dont think this will get seen but man the weazel never faded if you showed up as the weazel i know it would literally change my sisters life right now! to any that see this a prayer for her would be appreciated. I believe in the power of the grand conscious to heal and through prayer our energy can help focus our own healing energies through that grand conscious to help heal all through prayer, much love to all
Perspective is absolute key, I believe we all have a hard time at some point in life when we realize "oh shit, this is not forever, my mom and dad are getting older, I am getting older, but each phase has so much beauty mixed with sadness, and that's life you guys❤️ we have to find the smiles and the joy and the love in every moment we can
People need to understand Pauly Shore was HUGE in the nineties. He was everywhere at that point. What he said here isn't an exaggeration. I don't necessarily believe he sounding arrogant it's just the reality of getting older has an effect on everyone. There are days when I find myself thinking: "Man, I miss having no responsibilities where I could eat cereal, watch cartoons, and not have bills." In defense he admitted that his act became stale and no one cared about him anymore.
That maybe so. But there were a lot of us, me included, that felt he was being shoved down our throat. And I was in his demographic. I thought he was funny for a bit. But it was like a fad that hangs around for way too long. It became tedious to watch him. So I look back on those days like I was being conned. Some corporation deciding what was funny rather than the audience. My point being, he shouldn’t have been that big, and certainly not for that long.
@@LastSunrise1981 Not in this clip. Not to split hairs but he states that the ‘weasel thing was cool for awhile and after awhile it’s not’. Meaning that’s why he fell from popularity. It doesn’t at all infer that he overstayed his welcome. My point was that by the time Pauley was finally ousted everyone was burnt out on him well before that point. At no point does he infer or imply he hung around too long. According to Pauley, he was around exactly as long as he should’ve been. Whatever, it’s Pauley Shore. But there is a real vein of arrogance here that is undeniable. He knocks Dennis Leary as not being as big as he was. Which isn’t true. Even if it were, it’s not a statement you make. Then goes on to pat himself on the back about being the first. Again, maybe that’s true but this self aggrandizement is unseemly and not much different than high school jocks talking about the glory days of high school and how great they were at the time. Obviously they weren’t that great if it doesn’t translate to anything else.
@@bry8636 I see what you're saying. Pauly Shore to a degree was the first as far as his influence was concerned. Of course he wasn't the first if you compare him to Pryor, Fox, Murphy, Hicks, Carlin, etc. However, during that period he paved the way for the likes of Sandler, Leary, and other dressed down realistic comedians of that period to become popular. Saying the Weasel gimmick became stale is exactly what overstaying your welcome is. At some point the people love you and think your cool, more they see you they become annoyed, bored, and don't care to have that person around anymore. Once again Shore was huge in the nineties. He's not making anything up in regards to his success. I can remember living in California during his prime and hearing lots of kids use the weasel fingers and sounds, constantly saying "buddy" the way Shore did, watching his films, etc. However, I do understand where you're coming from with your views though.
Really nothing went wrong he was a fad entertainer his time came and went and he really made the most of...my young uncritical eye liked all of his movies
I would never and have never wanted fame Fact is he is washed up As the vast 99.9% of celebrities end up being Only a few like Lon Chaney, James Dean, John Wayne and Sir Christopher Lee are truly remembered as historically significant But he achieved more than 99.9% of wannabe actors achieve He's far from a loser but his attitude makes him come across as one
I can definitely sympathize with him about missing the early 90s and being younger. It was a fun time back then. A great time to be a kid. Today we live in a world of madness.
I agree. And anything crazy going on back then wasn't noticed as much due to our age and also less media . But no doubt the world was significantly different in so many areas.
@@LordofYumYum there was definitely problems in the world back then. But nothing compared to this insanity that we live in today. There was still a sense of community in the 90s. But today everyone just hates each other. It’s a complete mess no matter what side you are on.
Paulie seems like a genuinely good guy . He just comes across as a good person. I think part of the reason things dried up was also due to timing. His fan base was growing up, people were super cynical in the 90’s and it wasn’t cool to like Paulie Shore. That being said, I’d love to see him make a comeback
I get exactly what you mean. Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler experimented with more grown up movies and even Chris Farley was trying to do more serious roles before he passed away so I think that is why they are remembered more fondly than Pauly but if Pauly were to try to do something different aside from stupid comedy like the others I think he could be good in it. Not only did it work for Carrey and Sandler but even Brendan Fraser who acted with Pauly a couple times has even done some more mature material and he is now an Oscar winner. Pauly should give it a shot if he tried I think he would do well.
He keeps saying "I love acting" but then he says he was on set with Adam Sandler but he wasnt the star. It sounds like he doesnt love acting he just wants to be a "star"
Exactly if u love acting be happy u got a part in a dumb adam sandler film god he sounded like such a big baby " but I was the one starring in films" so he doesnt love acting he loves being the main star who's ass gets kissed what an ego. Shit.
I totally understand what he means. When I think back on my high school days, I often feel sad. So many things have changed and so many friends are gone. Those times are over and it will never be the same again.
Paulie came into my restaurant a handful of times and he’s so fucking genuine. This guy is definitely humble and in no way does he act celebratory. I’d rather serve this dude than Beyoncé or jay z or any other A-lister anyday.
Not only did Pauly start a lot of the comedy we enjoy now BUT HIS MOM actually owned/managed the comedy store and Pauly grew up with ppl like Richard Pryor and other legends... It mustve been crazy, he talked about being a kid and walking into his downstairs where his mom hosted these huge parties with so many key comedians... theres a doc from back in the day where he explained it as his mom was on her death bed, really made me look at him as more than a goofy guy and gave huge insight to a lost time in LA comedy scene... Joe knows wsup, he was there for it all.
Dude has a huge ego, it's actually kind of embarrassing. "Look at me, i used to be on billboards..." - "I used to be big...." - "I was the 1st big person on MTV..." He sounds like he just lives in the past. Pauly and Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite would get along great!
Yes. Pauly did everything all on his own. Never mind his Mother was Misty Shore, owner of the comedy store. I am sure she had NO influence on his career though. Zero nepotism.
Son In Law was the pinnacle of his film career. I thought BioBome was good, even better than In The Army Now, but like Pauly stated from the advice of his management team, cutting his hair off basically reformed his iconic image and was akin to Samson cutting off his long hair and losing his strength.
He is basically telling you what and why most actors get the way they get when they get older in Hollywood. He is just not afraid to tell it and be honest about it.
They need to remember they still got a whole lot more than the average American did or ever will. Most people won't star in a film and are just fine with that.
he literally never said that. he compared himself to adam sandler. sandler doesn't have oscars and nobody is using billy madison to audition for broadway, but sandler stars in movies. I get what he is saying, it's like a football player who can't get signed to a team, maybe just get on the practice squad. he would rather be a starter on a trash team than be standing on the sidelines of a good one.
@@adamvincent746 ...adam sandler is a guy who had a few good years in the 90s. but unlike pauly he had a crew that worked like entourage so after the mainstream moved on from him he started doing indie movies and producing his own movies for himself and his friends to star in. pauly relied on the studio to keep his career going and fell off when the industry changed.
Pauly Shore reminds of those kids that are popular in high school but don't make much of themselves afterwards. They were loved by everyone for things that are completely fleeting and now they're just working some measly job and no one really notices them. Plus, they see people that used to envy them having true success and have to suffer regret for not making better choices. Yes Pauly, the party always ends. But, I do think people still like him if he can just embrace who he was and accept where he is rather than focusing on what he feels has been lost. People would go crazy for the nostalgia, but he needs to be comfortable and stop looking down on himself.
cryogeneric its tough bro. Like its worse, because u know how good it can be and just want to go back and live there forever or do it different so it doesnt end.
I feel for the guy, I always wished he made a comeback or at least was happy with teaching and helping young comedians find there place in Hollywood, he could do so much good he doesn't realise that, he literally grew up in Hollywood, he knows it better than anyone
Ya but those those ppl who have “achieved real success” are often shallow superficial jerks who define success by money or a fake sense of superiority. Doesn’t mean they are happy..
He put his vulnerabilities on display and that is rare in any atmosphere especially one that's viewed by millions. His sincerity is refreshing and I do feel for the guy.
*We Love you, Pauly!! I STILL watch your movies. You rock!!* 🤘 *As for Pauly still talking about his career days, that was his life. Everyone needs to chill on making fun of him. You will do the EXACT same year when yesteryear was your glory days.*
I hope Pauly knows there is a whole generation to which he was, is and always will be a Comedic Genius and Hero and will be remembered for a long, long time. Stay proud Pauly. You are a fukn legend.
Nothing wrong with being proud of and reflecting back on accomplishments and events that made you happy ,Pauly shore is awesome and I’d love to see him in another movie.
You always chase your first high... you always try to relive that first experience, that first love, that first success, that first grain of validation, acceptance and praise. Life is like a good movie or a video game, how many times have you heard someone say they could forget a movie just to rewatch it again. You need to be naive and ignorant during your first high to absorb all the nuanced novelty. This can most likely never be replicated again.
The past is always looked fondly upon because it is comforting to remember something familiar, the unknown of the future is more uncomfortable. Still life is carefree and worries are far away in the future. I can relate to what Pauly is saying. But life is what you make it, and im much happier now than i was then. I hope that for Pauly too
NOt really. There are plenty of one note wonders that manage to be in films for YEARS. No. In Hollywood, there is no greater sin than making a bad film. As long as you are making good movies, you can be a one note wonder forever. But you make 2 consecutive bad films or films that don't perform well and you are done. Very few celebrities can bounce back from two consecutive bad films ESPECIALLY if they are the lead.
I don't think that's why he's sad. He's sad because his body is getting older, maybe more aches and pains. And more so, sad that he can't entertain like he use to because jobs are passing him up. Listen to the part when he talks about being on set again. It felt good, but not great like when he was the star making people laugh. "Tears of a clown when there's no one around." He misses that.
@@silvercloud1641 Exactly. I'm in my mid 30s and just starting to notice light aging and it changes the way people treat me (i.e. not getting flirted with as often). I think what Pauly is feeling is being an average Joe with a decent life. By itself it's cool and he still has it better than LOTS of people who struggle in poverty or living from paycheck to paycheck in shitty jobs etc...but it probably just feels lackluster to him COMPARED to 1993 when he was a sex symbol on top of the world.
Pauly Shore was a stoner high school character. It was funny for a while, then it got old. He needs to decide how he wants to evolve. Nothing lasts forever. He should be proud what he accomplished.
He tried to evolve, but he's a one schtick pony like Peewee Herman, Weird Al .. sure they have careers... but who wants to watch the same old tired tripe...
@@TroyC68 Well said!! He tried to evolve into an older stoner but that’s just kinda sad & pathetic. Most of us outgrow our childhood antics and not too many people can have a real career if they don’t grow up & learn new things. What got you here won’t get you there, as a wise person once said. Those of us that grew up with Pauly Shore, Pee Wee Herman and Andy Dick don’t really hold those memories as the heartfelt ones. Especially Pee Wee... heard any good jokes lately?? Haha ha ha ha ha ha (laughing like Per Wee). 🤣
@@BearDown4Life He was connected. His mom owned/ran "The Comedy Store". He was immersed in the show biz world from a very young age. He saw the who's who of comedy for decades. He was in it for a few years, made a few $$$ & then he was out... He's not coming back.
It’s true though, and he doesn’t have a career now, the least you can do is give him his due, which is that he was the first, and the biggest, at the time. Then he took it too far and burned out.
Man, I know exactly where he's coming from. 30 was hard. 31 was easy. Getting older and looking back is depressing sometimes. You have to accept age and where you are in life. It's still difficult for me sometimes.
As goofy as I thought Pauly was at the time, I have to give him props for his blunt honesty and for being true to his feelings. I too miss my youth and the visceral sense of excitement I used to feel at every new opportunity. You just can't re-capture that when you get older. You develop feelings of nostalgia for times gone by, and over the long-term, if you don't have any prospects in the pipeline to help you re-focus, you can easily get depressed and lose your motivation, and then it's all downhill from there. Life in general isn't as exciting and joyful as it used to be. I think that's where Pauly's mindset is now. If he had one good acting opportunity come his way to put him back on the map, he probably wouldn't feel so down in the dumps and miss his glory days so much.
I know, I had a lot of fun in my 20’s, I wish I had appreciated that more than I did, you can have new experiences but you can never get that moment back❤️
Yeah, it happens to a lot of people when they get older. Especially if, as you said, they had experienced some level of success at a relatively younger age (like in their 20s), then for whatever reason that success passed them by. Sometimes it's their own fault but sometimes it's just times will change and things that were funny or popular 10 years ago just aren't considered cool anymore.
I met Pauly in 1989 when he was doing "In the Army Now." He wasn't happy about it. We were Soldiers at the Burbank, CA. National Guard Unit. He wasn't Pauly Shore. He was just Pauly. Ironically, while talking to Pauly one day, an Earthquake happened and you could literally see the concrete floor of the building make waves back and forth. Pauly thought he was still high.
Eric Knewitz "you started it all" so basically another celeb kissed his arse while coked up at a party, like they all do and he thinks will ferrel meant it, pretty sad
you know what would work in 2017? having all of the mtv stars from years ago do one of those reality tv shows. im sure bill bellimy and daisy fuentes and dan cortez aren't busy right now. or have paulie, corey feldman. andrew dice clay pretend to be rock stars on tour.
