Giving back money
Why did someone remove my addition of Pauly giving money for people watching his show? Maybe someone more skilled and fluent in the English language could reedit them for me? Pauly had a deal in where you watched the show, and if you didnt like it you write him a letter or email telling him you think it sucks, and he will give you money. It was for the first 250,000 people a dollar each, I dont know how many people took this up, but I am guessing since it was cancelled it was all of them. --The great grape ape is straight out of the know 01:00, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Punked
Should his appearance on "Punked" be in the article, where he starting yelling at this 12 year old kid who was interviewing him and asking, albeit, rather rude questions? It seemed like it cast him in a very bad light. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.53.221.28 (talk • contribs)

Only if you can find a source for the Punked appearance other than the episode itself -- like a write-up in Entertainment Weekly or something. --M @ r ē ino 01:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Keep article with Clean Up
The article should stay, Shore is relevant to late 20th century American American culture. Therefore, I have Wikified the first paragraph, and cleaned up the article in general. There are references for TBS and Shore offering a dollar for anybody who didn't like Minding The Store, added one to article. redcountess 21:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Staged Onstage Assault
I've read on TMZ that the event was staged. Here is a link to that information: http://www.tmz.com/2006/12/12/cops-say-pauly-shore-video-a-fake/

Someone keeps changing it to say the event was "legitimate". Besides the fact that the wording makes no sense, I have confirmed that the Odessa police department does have the quoted press release on their web site. I am sure they would prefer we link to the tmz.com links though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grax32 (talk • contribs) 03:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Citation
The film garnered critical praise and was positively received by fans, quickly developing a cult following.

I don't think this is true. Cite it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.90.143.91 (talk • contribs) 01:33, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

The Simpsons
I'm not sure about this but didn't he appear in the Simpsons? The Treehouse of Horror episode where Homer and Bart as well as a number of celebrities they class as reject celebrities I guess are all on a rocket to the Sun and I remember one of the people saying "Hey, buuuudddeeeee" which I assumed was him. Although did they actually use the real people or get people to imitate them? I definately wouldn't want to appear on the Simpsons like that!

Ross Perot, Dan Quayle, Tonya Harding, Al Sharpton, Courtney Love, Spike Lee, Tom Arnold, Pauly Shore, Rosie O'Donnell and Dr. Laura were in the plane, but Tom Arnold was the only one who did his own voice.Fernandobouregard 23:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Use of his name as a synonym for has-been celebrities
This sentence: "The perceived low-quality of his starring vehicles combined with his brief tenure as a bankable movie star has resulted in his name being synonymous with untalented, unintelligent, has-been or unpopular celebrity" is attached to the end of the second paragraph in the "Career" section. This may be true in some circles, but which ones? I will modify it and hopefully somebody can point to where this came from.Koshki (talk) 00:44, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Pauly Shore is Gay
Right? I thought it was common knowledge that Pauly Shore is a homosexual, but I can't seem to find it on the internet. I mean actual homosexual, not "Oh, he's so gay". Is this a reported fact? Is it important to the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.250.179.216 (talk) 04:48, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Weasel
I have to admit I'm no Pauly Shore-ologist, but I thought his catchphrase was "Hey, buuuuddee". How did he use "weasel" in a sentence? --Arteitle 18:48, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
 * He doesn't really use it in a sentence, it's more of an interjection. The most common variation is "we-E-easel", where he squeaks out the "E", accompanied with the wiggling of all the fingers on one outstretched hand.  It's in virtually every movie.  I seem to recall him and Stephen Baldwin play-fighting with their weasel hands in Bio-Dome, too.  Thanks for the copyedits, by the way.  --M @ r ē ino 19:15, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * One variation is to "wease" (or "wheeze" or some other spelling), meaning to "mooch, snaffle, abscond, steal". In Encino Man, Stoney (Pauly) drinks Slush Puppie straight out of the machine, which is referred to as "weasing the juice". Maikel (talk) 12:17, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

TV series "Pauly"
The article states that the his TV series Pauly "aired one episode, which ranks among one of the lowest rated episodes of a television show in history. It was cancelled the next day; in some markets, the show was cut off in mid-episode and replaced by either reruns of other shows, commercials, or a test pattern."

Since I don't know the fact, I won't bother editing this, but I do know that they showed at least three episodes before pulling the plug. Someone who knows more about this needs to look into it and correct this. --Bacteria 09:45, 13 August 2005 (UTC)


 * The test-patern claim is highly suspect ;) -- stewacide


 * Pauly notes 5 episodes aired, out of a 7 recorded. -- Olle —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.145.38.18 (talk) 14:31, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Death?
Is ANYONE going to talk about his death?? It happened more than a week ago in a helicopter crash. It's big news here in Aspen, CO. Get on it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Orlandoj88 (talk • contribs) 20:33, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Pauly Shore is still alive! I can't find any sources of news that says he died. Some "big news", huh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.37.139 (talk) 03:09, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Removed most of the article
This article has been used as a coatrack for a lot of stuff that is borderline defamation. It will have to be rewritten from scratch.  Enigma msg  00:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

On-set Rant
He was filmed on set of a movie called 'Brand Dead' freaking out at crew. The clip was captured by MovieSet.com and appeared on TMZ.com, Cnn.com and many other sites. A CNN commentator called it a staged rant to create attention and other references pointed out other publicity stunts. Should this be included? Cinema-enthusiast (talk) 21:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Edit request from 24.206.166.151, 3 August 2010
Pauly Shore will also play in The Water Expression as Edward McLemore in 2014.

As far as I can tell, he did not die, whereas the article says he did. Please change.

His Real Name
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JruD1mkW5Ds&feature=related he says in this video that his real name is Fred. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.31.189 (talk) 19:56, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

O.K., seriously, people. Dead? I know he made the movie "Pauly Shore is Dead" but that doesn't mean he's actually dead. I have tickets to see him at the Funny bone Comedy Club in Huntington, WV on September 19, 2009 so after I go see the show I'll tell you if he's dead or not.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Araines0007 (talk • contribs) 15:40, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Jewish?
I don't know if this is important or not, but wikipedia does have a category for Jewish comedians. If someone who is autoconfirmed wants to throw a shout out to Jewish people, you could add a category listing to the bottom of the page. I've added one to the discussion forum.Aaronwayneodonahue (talk) 09:03, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Edit request on 19 December 2011
Regarding "Shore is currently[when?] performing stand-up comedy."

Mr. Shore has continued to perform stand-up amongst his other jobs in the entertainment business, and has tour dates listed on his website starting in January 2012. (http://www.paulyshore.com/site/tour-dates-new/)

That said, I can't believe I just spent ten minutes of my life on researching Pauly Shore. That is all.

Pauly Shore has mistakenly been called a vegetarian
In fact, Pauly Shore's favorite cut of meat is New York steak. He prefers it prepared medium rare in fine restaurants or medium in lesser-quality establishments (source: interview with The Bob Rivers Show KJR FM Seattle on January 19, 2012 http://www.twistedradio.com/podcasts/BRSPodcast_2012-01-19_3119.mp3 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rollingalong (talk • contribs) 21:42, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

He acted in California Man in 1992

 * California Man is an alternate name for Encino Man, which is already in this article. The article on Encino Man explains the other name.   RudolfRed (talk) 17:15, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Pauly Shore personal life
Would like to see a section on whether Pauly is married, has children, and so on.69.230.184.68 (talk) 21:21, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

Simple typo?
In paragraph 1,

"has since appeared only frequently"

should probably be:

"has since appeared only infrequently"

Don't forget "Bobby's World"
Pauly Shore started doing the voice of George around 1990Hippiequeenkristy (talk) 00:11, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

California Man
Pauly Shore starred in California man alongside Brendan Fraser in the 90s. This is not in his filmography for some reason? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.69.28.104 (talk) 00:23, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * California Man was an alternative name for Encino Man. Encino Man is mentioned in the article and was in the article long before the above comment. -- 109.78.207.11 (talk) 22:52, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Inclusion in The Midnight Gospel
