What We Think

Wayne's World 2 is worlds away from modern woke trends. It’s a goofy, irreverent comedy with no ideological agenda to be found, just air guitar, bad puns, and winks to the audience. Almost nostalgia-inducing in its non-wokeness.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Wayne's World 2 puts comedy and absurdity at the forefront, focusing on character goofiness and parody rather than tokenism or forced identity markers. The characters' personalities are driven by wit and charm, not by their demographics. Nothing feels shoehorned in, and there's no prioritizing of ideology over storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film gently pokes fun at pop culture, friendship, and rock music, but doesn't attack traditional family, religion, or masculinity. In fact, Wayne and Garth's hopeless attempts at romance and friendship are more relatable than 'subversive.' It's a time capsule of irreverent, apolitical humor.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Wayne's World 2 sticks to the absurd and the comedic, never taking itself seriously enough to hammer a uniform worldview, or any worldview, really. Traditions, rock icons, and authority figures are all subject to playful mockery, without targeting any ideology or viewpoint.
