In the first scene, they rip off the "guy on the couch." I seem to remember him getting up and taking a long piss (could be wrong)--but it was like right away and it was just straight up half-baked but less funny. The general atmosphere of the movie was too off-putting for me to watch anymore...it was just a bit too much for me.

That said, it's fine if you like the movie. I like plenty of crap movies for their specific brand of cheese. Just classifying AEW as that tier is a bit of a disservice and misrepresentation. I think AEW is pretty solid all things considered (at least from what I've seen and heard) albeit with some glaring weaknesses that prevent it from being what it should (or could be). Dude, Where's My Car is purposefully a crap movie, and is enjoyed as such.

I'd liken it to maybe a show like Cobra Kai that while it's enjoyable, it's straight-up fan service the whole way through with tons of hokey moments that prevent it from reaching that level of top-tier story-telling. And it's bolstered by stronger, more experienced talent (Billy Zabka, Ralph Macchio, Martin Kove, etc. for Cobra Kai, while AEW has the likes of Danielson, Page, Punk, Eddie Kingston, FTR, MJF, Rusev, etc. who tend to produce gold.)

The energy of the shows is good too. Tony Khan just has a lot to learn about booking fundamentals and whatnot.
