Pauly Shore Gets Honest About What Went Wrong With His Movie Career - Joe Rogan

Pauly Shore talks about why his movie career went away.
Taken from Joe Rogan Experience #997.

[@Exinstix]

So I met Pauly Shore when I was 6 years old at the San Diego Zoo (now 25), and ran up and got a picture with him and I remember telling him Bio-Dome was my favorite movie of his. He looked at my parents then back at me and said, “Wow they let you watch that? You have some terrible parents.” Best day at the zoo ever.

[@Takeshi357]

Dude you watched Bio-Dome as a 6 year old

[@landshark1191]

[@Bob.Loblaw]

Pauly Shore misses being young because of his experience. He was larger than life for a short period of time. That’s a crazy thing to achieve and then have taken away so quickly.

[@Parasiteve]

yep. i can't blame him for missing it dearly. but is it better to have that and lose it or to never have experienced it at all? the pain from losing it is there but so is the joy. if you never had it then all you have is "pain" from not having it but that pain is no way worse than having the good life then losing it so i think its best to never have the good life lmao. i grew up in the 90s i miss it terribly and i feel like most times i might have been better off not living through it but after seeing how gen Z is, im glad i lived through the 90s. it hurts its gone but it felt so good to experience it. its a catch 22 man. the good with the bad.

DeadBunny69 I was like 13 and in in the army now was pretty ducking funny. I watched it like 5 times. That humor worked back then. Now vulgar shit is frowned upon. You can still do it. But keep the budget small. Like workaholics. Pauly shud try that. Those kids are very similar to him but too much pauly is no good. Need to balance it out.

[@BlackhaloZ]

You can hear the ego when he talks. I don't see him taking part in an ensemble. Or 2nd billing. Even though he's washed up and he does not have the talent to transition.

[@BDogs10]

Same here, 80s-90s mid teens/mid-20s was a massive time. Pauly was a big hit , so for him absolutely is a huge drop back down to Earth(if you will).

[@MrTickleBean]

Most people love their mid-teens to mid-twenties regardless of the decade, especially when looking back at it. People in their teens and twenties today will look back in 30 years and talk about how great it was. It’s just part of life.

@@MrTickleBean Wrong. Things have changed like never before. The most recent generations are so messed up and miserable it's unreal.

I feel the same way i miss the late 90s early Y2K like crazy, its depressing when your loved ones start to die, family pets start to die, celebrities you love die, or get older. I came from a large family that came from a larger family, and now its like my elders have all died off, sick, too caught up in bills, ITS OVER WITH. i choked up in tears at my grandmas house this past year cause not only is she and grandpa here but like no one showed up. There literally would be 30 people with guests visiting all throughout the day back in the 90s early & mid 2000s. My favorite aunt who did everything with me died of cancer, cousin died of covid. Man i can go on. I can watch old WWF SMACKDOWN or cartoonetwork/nick shows super easy thanks to current technology. I can play games or rewatch certain movies at anytime. The problem is it will never recapture the old atmosphere that was the late 90s/early 2000s. that feeling of cant waiting to see your friends in school or go hang out with them after school or during the weekend is forever gone. Whenever i see something exciting theres no large gathering or social spaces where your around people who dam near knew you since pre school. I miss hating to go to high school, but loving the activities, field trips, dates etc etc.

[@jo-we6696]

[@SteveGunn2]

What Pauly is explaining at 2:15 is hard to describe, but I know exactly how he feels. It isn't that you can't do the same things you did when you were younger, it's just that you don't get the same satisfaction out of doing them. And the things you currently enjoy in your life don't quite give you the same level of enjoyment as those other things did when you were younger. You aren't wishing to do those things, you're wishing you still enjoyed doing those things. It's like, I wish I could go outside and play make-believe for 3 hours like I did when I was 8 years old, and have an absolute blast. There's nothing stopping me from doing that, but I just can't possibly enjoy it the same way as I did when I was a kid; it would just be boring as an adult.

[@Shortking_Sage]

[@dsmith5797]

I grew up in watching Pauly as a 90's kid, I was a big fan. His movies hit at the right age for my generation at around 14 though 16-ish. So I gotta support my man. I was always bummed that he didn't do other staring roles later in life, but at the same time, he seems to be doing well without those kinds of roles. I and many others will forever be thankful to Pauly for paving the way for so many comedians and actors after him. That's a huge honor to have.

Paulie seems like a genuinely good guy . He just comes across as a good person. I think part of the reason things dried up was also due to timing.

[@spencerhensley5495]

I get exactly what you mean. Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler experimented with more grown up movies and even Chris Farley was trying to do more serious roles before he passed away so I think that is why they are remembered more fondly than Pauly but if Pauly were to try to do something different aside from stupid comedy like the others I think he could be good in it. Not only did it work for Carrey and Sandler but even Brendan Fraser who acted with Pauly a couple times has even done some more mature material and he is now an Oscar winner. Pauly should give it a shot if he tried I think he would do well.

[@rob1052]

Son In Law was the pinnacle of his film career. I thought BioBome was good, even better than In The Army Now, but like Pauly stated from the advice of his management team, cutting his hair off basically reformed his iconic image and was akin to Samson cutting off his long hair and losing his strength.

People need to understand Pauly Shore was HUGE in the nineties. He was everywhere at that point. What he said here isn't an exaggeration. I don't necessarily believe he sounding arrogant it's just the reality of getting older has an effect on everyone. There are days when I find myself thinking: "Man, I miss having no responsibilities where I could eat cereal, watch cartoons, and not have bills." In defense he admitted that his act became stale and no one cared about him anymore.

[@johnnydept4082]

Facts

[@bry8636]

That maybe so. But there were a lot of us, me included, that felt he was being shoved down our throat. And I was in his demographic. I thought he was funny for a bit. But it was like a fad that hangs around for way too long. It became tedious to watch him. So I look back on those days like I was being conned. Some corporation deciding what was funny rather than the audience. My point being, he shouldn’t have been that big, and certainly not for that long.

[@LastSunrise1981]

@@bry8636 Which is exactly what he said in the interview. He admitted as such that he was a fad that overstayed his welcome.

[@bry8636]

@@LastSunrise1981 Not in this clip. Not to split hairs but he states that the ‘weasel thing was cool for awhile and after awhile it’s not’. Meaning that’s why he fell from popularity. It doesn’t at all infer that he overstayed his welcome. My point was that by the time Pauley was finally ousted everyone was burnt out on him well before that point. At no point does he infer or imply he hung around too long. According to Pauley, he was around exactly as long as he should’ve been. Whatever, it’s Pauley Shore. But there is a real vein of arrogance here that is undeniable. He knocks Dennis Leary as not being as big as he was. Which isn’t true. Even if it were, it’s not a statement you make. Then goes on to pat himself on the back about being the first. Again, maybe that’s true but this self aggrandizement is unseemly and not much different than high school jocks talking about the glory days of high school and how great they were at the time. Obviously they weren’t that great if it doesn’t translate to anything else.

[@LastSunrise1981]

@@bry8636 I see what you're saying. Pauly Shore to a degree was the first as far as his influence was concerned. Of course he wasn't the first if you compare him to Pryor, Fox, Murphy, Hicks, Carlin, etc. However, during that period he paved the way for the likes of Sandler, Leary, and other dressed down realistic comedians of that period to become popular. Saying the Weasel gimmick became stale is exactly what overstaying your welcome is. At some point the people love you and think your cool, more they see you they become annoyed, bored, and don't care to have that person around anymore. Once again Shore was huge in the nineties. He's not making anything up in regards to his success. I can remember living in California during his prime and hearing lots of kids use the weasel fingers and sounds, constantly saying "buddy" the way Shore did, watching his films, etc. However, I do understand where you're coming from with your views though.

I grew up with Pauly as a certified member of the "MTV generation". I think with comedians that define a generation or an era you get a short shelf life unless you can re-invent yourself you'll be frozen in time. Gallagher was a huge star in the 80's then faded like Dice and even Bob Goldthwait had to drop his schtick. Shore was in that super narrow niche that didn't have that widespread appeal to get critical mass and it got old. Maybe down the lines of "Jay and Silent Bob" with limited commercial appeal.

As goofy as I thought Pauly was at the time, I have to give him props for his blunt honesty and for being true to his feelings. I too miss my youth and the visceral sense of excitement I used to feel at every new opportunity. You just can't re-capture that when you get older. You develop feelings of nostalgia for times gone by, and over the long-term, if you don't have any prospects in the pipeline to help you re-focus, you can easily get depressed and lose your motivation, and then it's all downhill from there. Life in general isn't as exciting and joyful as it used to be. I think that's where Pauly's mindset is now. If he had one good acting opportunity come his way to put him back on the map, he probably wouldn't feel so down in the dumps and miss his glory days so much.
