Mike Myers and Dana Carvey party on as their Wayne’s World characters in a new advertisement teasing the upcoming Super Bowl. Super Bowl LV, featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will air live on February 7.
The stoner comedy classic Wayne’s World took audiences—and the box office—by storm when it was first released in 1992. The film was based on a popular SNL sketch that first aired in 1989. The sketch starred comedy staples Myers and Carvey as two adult best friends, Wayne and Garth (respectively), who are heavy metal super fans. Wayne and Garth are based in Aurora, Illinois, and host a television show, “Wayne’s World,” from the basement of Wayne’s parents’ house, where Wayne still lives. The film, which adds other big names to the cast, such as Rob Lowe and Tia Carrere, explores more of Wayne and Garth’s antics and adventures as they try to save their public access show from being eaten by the nefarious world of commercial television. The popularity of the sketch and the film made Wayne’s World a household name with easily recognizable characters and frequently quoted catchphrases. A sequel, Wayne’s World 2, was released the following year, but fans were never graced with Wayne's World 3.
In an Uber Eats advertisement that aired during the most recent episode of SNL, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey brought Wayne’s World back to life, if just for a brief moment. In the ad, Myers and Carvey (as Wayne and Garth) lament sarcastically about the past year and tease more Wayne’s World ad content to appear in the Super Bowl, saying “we’ll see you soon for the ‘game’” and “the big bowl.”
Although it’s not the full sequel that fans might have hoped for, audiences have a chance to embrace two of their favorite characters again. While fans have long-requested a third installment in the Wayne’s World franchise, there have been no real talks of another sequel. On the bright side, Tia Carrere has gone on record to say that she’s open to doing another film, so there may be hope yet. However, it doesn’t bode well that Wayne’s World 2 did not do as well as the first film nor that, since the first Wayne’s World, none of the many subsequent films based on SNL sketches performed well financially.
With remakes and reboots that no one would have anticipated, such as Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reprising their roles in another Bill & Ted film after 19 years, nothing is off of the table. In this era of nostalgia, one can expect to be surprised by what weaves its way out of the woodworks. Until then, fans can feast on the small moments they do receive, such as more Wayne's World advertisements to come. Excellent!
