- Wayne’s World is framed as the first YouTube video: a basement access show with friends anticipates modern online content.
- Modern parallels include Jeff Teague’s podcast and early Mooney–Bennett videos; Hawk Tuah is raised then dismissed.
- The film is called the most quotable ever, with many more everyday lines than Jerry Maguire and an elite comparison group of Airplane, Lebowski and Anchorman.
- Anchorman and Christmas Vacation are further contenders; quotations can become so familiar that speakers forget their origins.
