- The first-time movie viewer enjoys its ambition, likable cast and Myers’s charm despite missing many references; datedness becomes part of its appeal.
- Unexpectedly intellectual jokes such as Alice Cooper’s speech are favorites, compared with an Aerosmith sketch about communism.
- Garth is the dissent: stronger in short sketches and insufficiently competent across a film. The hosts defend his abandoned-show Not joke.
- Wayne’s World is preferred to Blues Brothers, which felt bloated and quieter on first viewing but funnier in discussion.
- The Laverne and Shirley reference was unrecognized but still respected.
