Comedian Pauly Shore kept his sense of humor on Twitter Monday in the face of a full-on tease from Oscar host Jimmy Kimmel. (Watch the video and post below.)
At the start of Sunday’s Academy Awards ceremony, Kimmel noted that two actors from the 1992 comedy “Encino Man” — Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan — were nominated for Oscars.
“What an incredible night this must be for you two and what a very hard night for Pauly Shore,” Kimmel joked of the comedian, who also stars in the film. “Maybe it’s time to restart the ‘Bio-Dome,'” replied the host.
It was a 1996 Shore release, considered “one of the worst movies ever made” by at least one outlet.
Fraser (“The Whale”) and Ke Huy Quan (“Everything Everywhere All Once”) would win Oscars for best actor and best supporting actor, respectively, at Sunday’s show.
But no bitterness from Shore. He even offered a message of hope to anyone reading the post.
“I don’t know if you saw the Academy Awards last night, but Jimmy Kimmel made fun of me in his monologue. Loved it,” Shore tweeted Monday.
“But what I really liked is that my old friends from that time, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, took home the Oscars!”
“Never give up on your dreams,” Shore added.
