Wayne’s World hit theaters on February 14, 1992. It remains one of the best Saturday Night Live sketches that evolved into a film.

Per Box Office MojoWayne’s World had a budget of $20 million and grossed over $183 million worldwide. Of that worldwide gross, $121.6 million came from the United States alone. Needless to say, that kind of profit made the producers say “SCHWING!”

Without a doubt, it is 95 minutes of comedic genius that still resonates to this day, especially if you’re a rocker. Want proof? Look at this selection of the best Wayne’s World quotes. They make us feel kinda funny, like when we used to climb the rope in gym class.
