When Pauly Shore was 17, he started his career as a stand-up comedian.

In 1989, Pauly Shore became an MTV VJ. Later this led to a starring role in the film 'Encino Man' in 1992, his major hit comedy.

Inspired by his parent's comedy and show business, a 17-year-old Shore created his stand-up debut at the stray restaurant in Culver town. Pauly Shore's massive break came as an on-air MTV VJ, a footing he commands from 1989 to 1994.

At the peak of his MTV fame, Shore had his own show, 'Totally Pauly', serving as a number on MTV's annual respite parties.

The success of the film 'Encino Man' propelled Pauly Shore to star in further films, albeit progressively less successful: 'Son in Law' (1993), 'Jury Duty' (1995), 'In the Army Now' (1994), and 'Bio-Dome' (1996). All five films received sharply negative reviews, with the last three every holding a rating below 10%.

Even with many negative ratings, Pauly Shore advanced his career without worries, and in 2003, he got the best review in his career of the show 'Pauly Shore Is Dead'.

People remember that Pauly's famous catchphrase was from his alter-ego, The Weasel, that went "Hey, BU-DDY."

A famous line that Pauly Shore also says in 'Son In Law' is "I wouldn't fall asleep if I were you." These are just s few of the great Pauly Shore quotes.
