David Spade Went Full Joe Dirt At A Fireworks Stand For 4th Of July And Was Rattled By The Prices

With the exception of Clue and possibly Dirty Work, there’s not a single movie I’ve watched more times in my life than Joe Dirt. To paraphrase This Is Spinal Tap, it finds that fine line between stupid and clever and rides along it in a Rambler Wagon for 93 glorious minutes of mullets, meteors and screaming mimis. That last part, its unapologetic obsession with fireworks, gives the movie arguably its most referenced scene, a ridiculous trip to a roadside sparklers stand where David Spade goes off about the lack of options. It’s hilarious and quintessentially American, which is why the comedian, who has found a way to be funny in a ton of different projects, decided to reference it more than two decades later in honor of The 4th Of July.

As someone who grew up in Indiana and now lives in Missouri, I can confirm it’s not hard to find them in most states in the Midwest, and to Spade’s credit, he found a big one. You can tell the woman is starstruck the second he walks in, but she loosens up and has a great time with the longtime Saturday Night Live star as he uses the Joe Dirt voice and riffs on the beloved scene. He’s clearly in his element, at least until she tells him the price for The Godfather. Watch the magic below, which Spade dropped on social media…
