WAYNE'S HURLED
WAYNE'S WORLD (1992)
dir: Penelope Spheeris
WAYNE'S HURLED
Cracked #273, August 1992

Based on the recurring Ssturday Night Live sketch about two teenagers in Aurora, Illinois, Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey) who broadcast a public access show from Wayne's basement.
Benjamin Kane (Rob Lowe) is a TV producer who is in bed one night with his girlfriend (Ione Skye) and while flipping through channels come across Wayne's World, which she is a fan of. He thinks how he can buy it. Wayne and Garth finish their show and hang out at the donut shop and Wayne keeps running into his ex-girlfriend Stacey (Lara Flynn Boyle) who still carries a torch for him. Later, Wayne and his friends hang out at the gasworks and he falls in love with singer Cassandra Wong (Tia Carrere)
Wayne learns Cantonese to get with Cassandra. Meanwhile Benjamin woos Noah Vanderhof (Brian Doyle-Murray), an arcade owner, as sponsor for Wayne's World, even though he hasn't even bought the rights to the show or even talked to Wayne. He eventually buys the show, gets them a set at the television studio that looks exactly like his basement, tells them to read off cue cards, but doesn't tell them the show's sponsored by the arcade.
Wayne gets around being told to read from the index cards while interviewing Noah by writing smug comments about him that only the audience can see but Noah can't. He's reprimanded for it, quits, has a falling out with Garth, then makes up.
Wayne and Garth find out from a security guard at a concert that a record executive is coming into town and figure out a way to cut into the sattelite feed in his limo. Wayne's plan is to get Cassandra on his show but to do that he has to get her back from a richer and better-read Benjamin who's seduced her and promised to make a music video. The movie has several different meta-endings where things work out both wrong and right for everyone.
Bill and Ted had movies around the same time, thus the ending here. I'm not sure what the Fred Flintstone reference is. Time travel, maybe? Alice Cooper had a bit part in Wayne's World.

Val Kilmer was also Batman in two movies. Some of these villains are based one real ones, some aren't.
The Riddler (Jim Carrey), The Joker (Jack Nicholson), Catwoman (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Penguin (Danny DeVito) were the main Batman villains.
