David Spade channels Joe Dirt at Kentucky fireworks stand

July 4th may officially be over, but the fireworks will continue through at least the weekend. If you’ve purchased fireworks this millinia, there’s a decent chance you had a quote from the 2001 classic Joe Dirt running through your mind as you surveyed the options. If you were at a certain fireworks stand in the state of Kentucky last weekend, you may have even heard Joe Dirt himself recite it.

David Spade, who brought the mulleted janitor to life over two decades ago, performed at the Lexington Opera House last Sunday. On his way in or out of town, he stopped at a fireworks stand and recreated the scene from Joe Dirt in which Dirt gives a fireworks salesman grief over his limited selection. He had his phone camera rolling as he walked into the tent and recited the lines much to the surprise of the people running it.

“You’re gonna stand there…” he begins the famous line as the woman behind the table recognizes him. “Do a lot of people say that?”

Space interlaced his video with the scene from the movie in which Dirt rattles off a seemingly endless list of fireworks.

“You’re gonna stand there, ownin’ a fireworks stand, and tell me you don’t have no whistlin’ bungholes, no spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker don’ts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistlin’ kitty chaser?”

The saleswoman does show him “The Godfather,” a mega variety pack worth $899, marked down from $1300.

“You think I’ve got that kind of money?!” he exclaims.

Spade continues to tour the stand, reading off various items in his Joe Dirt drawl. We never find out what he purchased, but it’s clear he gave the woman running that fireworks stand a story to tell for years to come.
