Yeah. Swing was boners and we're not worthy. You bow down in front of people. Not was a, again, I keep saying it was a cultural phenomenon. It was everywhere. My wife is like six or seven years younger than me. I said, do you remember what not was? She said, I had a hat that said not on it with an exclamation point, like a baseball cap that I used to wear.
And it was, you would just, you would say like to your friend, like, oh man, I really liked those shoes. Those look good on you. And he'd say, thanks. You go not. And it was just like a sick burn and everyone did it.
You know, like he would do something like, you know, the full circle that it made is Borat. They do a bit with Borat where he goes to learn American comedy.
Remember that? And there's this like really nerdy comedy instructor who tries to teach him knot jokes and Borat just keeps messing it up and fucking with him. But it was being used as an example of the lamest possible American comedy.
Yes. As your very nice prostitute, not.
No, we covered the sequel, The Doors. I'm good on that.
They went to the Halloween store and got the costume in a bag for Agent with a cigar and a pinky ring and a pinstripe suit. Hi, I'm Jackie Sharp, and I must say, while you're very beautiful, it's tough. I don't know.
All right. The category of the actor I can't believe did not become a bigger star. Let's talk about Dana Carvey. All right. Dana Carvey brought me into SNL when I was in about sixth grade. He was the star. He ran the show. It's all his biggest sketches. And I look back on it and I feel like the absolute ceiling for Dana Carvey with his talent and his audience reception was like a Steve Martin.
And I would have thought the basement would have been Tim Allen or maybe even like Kevin James, like who had big success in a lot of avenues. And it didn't work out for a couple of different reasons. Why do you think he didn't become a bigger commercial star?
And I had this conversation this morning with Schrager at work, and he was like, you know, someone like Steve Martin was a genuinely really good actor when he needed to. He could cry. He could do the drama. He's like, I can't take Dana Carvey seriously. But then I said, like, 90% of the stuff that Farrell does is ridiculous farce comedy. Just for some reason, he never landed.
And then what happened is he makes a few Mrs. movies. The Dana Carvey show, which was incredibly pedigreed, doesn't work out because of the time slot and all that shit.
And then he finally gets his act together, and he's going to make his Austin Powers, and his Austin Powers is Master of Disguise, which was one of those movies that was not only bad, but became known for being bad, like G-League or something like that. That was it. I remember like Kevin and being in LA would just play a different clip every single morning, just make fun of it.
And then Dana Carvey. And like, that was pretty much it for that type of stuff.
Whenever he wants. Like, I think he could do standup and all that. And I love him and I root for him. I'm bringing this up because I would have liked to see him be able to do more stuff, you know?
Yeah, he was news radio side, right? But not like that Tim Allen home improvement character. I know what you mean.
And of course the take is, is that, you know, maybe Myers, when you're playing Austin powers, maybe you let Carvey be Dr. Evil and he does that thing. And then he's on that rocket with you. But Myers was probably like, no, I've already worked with Dana and I'm done. I'm doing this both by myself, but it was gone.
Interesting. Go on.
Well, I had a question for you. I had this in Unanswerable, is that what is the real equivalent of Wayne's World? Like, as it's happened in front of us, something that has been plucked from cable access and made into mainstream. Like, is it Hak'tu'a? Like, what is it? I don't even know.
I think it's a wrap.
Mm-hmm.
