Pauly Shore Is Dead

Synopsis: Hollywood comedian/actor Pauly Shore loses everything: his house, nobody in Hollywood wants to represent him, he moves back home with his mom and is now parking cars at the Comedy Store. Then one night when he's up in his mom's loft, a dead famous comedian appears who tells Pauly to kill himself cause he'll go down as a comedic genius who died before his time. Pauly then fakes his own death, and the media goes crazy. Celebrities are talking about him on MTV and girls are fighting over him on Jerry Springer. It's everything that he wanted...his plan worked. A week or so later the LAPD is tipped off about his whereabouts and they break down the door of the seedy motel room that he's hiding out in and throw him in LA County's celebrity wing.

[ Man ] I don't know what the f***|happened. Things just got f***ed up.

No one will f***in' call me,|and I'm a big joke. And-And the critics--

Pauly, you don't know|what you're talking about.

You're great. People love you.|You have a following.

- Bio-Dome was a great movie.|- Did you see Jury Duty?

- No.|- Neither did anyone else.

Did you see Hot Shots.!?

[ sighs ]|God, I love that movie.

- Yeah, it was pretty good, wasn't it?|- Yeah.

My-My point is, Pauly, is that|we've all had our flops.

- Mm, some more than others.|- [ sighs ]

But...|it'll turn around.

Well, how'd you do it?

Talent.

Good genes.

I didn't come up with|some weird animal noise. [ Chittering ]

- That's not the point, okay? It's--|- [ knocking ]

- [ sighs ]|- Uh--

Look, I gotta|get back to the set. Uh--

Is there a part|in there for me?

Charlie, is there a part|in your movie for me?

Look, I'll--|I'll talk to the director.

I'll see what I can do.|I'll-I'll tell him you're available.

I'll tell him you're available.

Not for long.

- [ Vacuum Cleaner Humming ]

- [ Murmuring, Indistinct ]

- [ Vacuum Cleaner Continues ]|- [ Continues Murmuring ]

[ Exhales ]|Okay.

- [ Vacuum Cleaner shuts Off]|- Pablo.

Pablo?

[ screaming ]

Topping the news this evening,|actor-comedian Pauly shore was found dead...

in a loft in his mother's|West Hollywood hills home.

- Pauly, best known as the Weasel,|started his career on MTV.|- [ Crying ]

- [ Man Sobbing ]|- He went on to star in such movies|as Encino Man...

- [ sobbing Loudly ]|-Jury Duty and son in Law.

Autopsy reports will be ready|in just a few days.

Many say he was a genius|who died before his time.

- ''Genius''? Genius of what?|- [ Laughs ]

We go to the streets now|to get the public's reaction.

You know, he tried|to sleep with me once... and tape it.

- Me too.|- Did you do it?

[ TV..People Wailing, Crying ]

Pauly shore,|dead at the age of 29.

The kid wasn't f***in'|wired right.

Any f***in'jackass|could've seen that.

[ Woman Reporter]|All of the community is mourning the death...

- My son! My son!|- of comedic genius Pauly shore.

- An erect penis--|- [ People Wailing, Chattering ]

that's what it would appear|to be underneath the sheet.

A strange turn of events--

[ Pauly Narrating ] I guess it's true|what they say when you die.

You're a lot more loved.|That's probably why I did it.

I was so sick of people|coming up to me every day...

and ask me|what my next movie was.

How was I supposed to explain to my fans|that my sh*t was tired...

and I had pigeon-holed myself|as the Weasel?

They don't understand|how Hollywood works.

Lenny Bruce,John Belushi|and Sam kinison all went down...

as comedic geniuses|who died before their time.

And now, me, Pauly Shore.

But before the media|blows it out of proportion--

before Access Hollywood|and Jerry springer get ahold of it--

let me tell you the truth|about how I got here.

[ Pauly Narrating ] I was born and raised|in Hollywood, California.

My dad's a comedian,|and my mom owns a comedy club.

And my mom didn't own|just any comedy club.

She owned the world-famous|Comedy Store...

on the Sunset Strip.

The Comedy Store's like|the Emerald City for comedians.

Everyone started out there.|Everyone.

I remember, one time, my mom|even had Sam kinison babysit for me.

[ screeching ]|Ohhhhh!

Yeah, thanks, Mom. I guess Charles Manson|was out of your price range.

The best part|about my mom, though--

she's been partying|her whole life.

Which was great for me, 'cause I was|the first baby born with the munchies.

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

- Dude, you forgot to flush.|- Dude, I'm flushin' now, man.

[ Pauly Narrating ]|Nah, my name's not the Weasel.

My name's|Paul Montgomery Shore-- P.M.S.

I was just like most kids.

I was in Little League.|I had braces. I even modeled.

I went to Beverly Hills High School.

And I wasn't on the football team.|I was in the dance company.

And after I graduated,|I took my acting very seriously.

And then it finally happened.|One night in the spring of'89...

-my manager got me an audition|for MTVat Mom's club.|-[ Audience Cheering ]

- And finally, I became the Weasel. Oh.!|- [ Cheering ]

[ No Audible Dialogue ]

Cool, buddy. Aw-ooh!

My MTVshow led to movies,|HBO specials, strippers and porno stars.

- [ Audience Cheering ]|- Hello!

Yeah, I was livin'|the American Dream.

And then, one day, my so-called|glamorous life came to a screeching halt.

[ screams ]

I got the most devastating|news ever.

No, not genital warts.|Worse.

I got a sitcom... on Fox.

After that, everything else|got kind ofblurry.

- [ TV..Man Grunts ]|- [ TV..Man #2 ] Pauly,|where'd you get all that cash?

- I found some loose change in the sofa.|- [ Canned Laughter ]

That is one of the perks about being your|best friend-- all that trickle-down cachet.

We have to hurry home, 'cause my dad's|got a big surprise waitin' for me.

All right, all right.

Wow. Check out those girls.|They're scopin' us out.

- [ Both Laugh ]|- [ Engine Revving ]

- [ Woman ] You must be Pauly.|- And you must be...

- my dad's big surprise.|- [ Canned Laughter]

- What?|- It's a good thing we're below sea level.

Down periscope!

Oh! Honey, you gotta get in here.|You gotta see this sh*t.

This is the worst f***in' show|I've ever seen.

- [ Boy ] Now, Dawn is Carol.|- Wait, wait, wait. I wanna beJan...

so I can sleep in the same room|with Marsha.
