Mike Donnelly drives an advertising truck for his brother Al, who is running for Governor of Washington. Chased by dogs, Mike crashes into a movie theater. Al's campaign manager, Roger Kovary, tells him to cut Mike loose, but Al sends his brother out to campaign in town with Steve Dodds, an aide who took the job for a place on Al's staff after the election. On the way to collect Mike, Steve hits Drake Sabitch, a veteran who takes his rental car. At a Pierce County recreation center, Mike tries to break up underage drinking; photos then make it appear he joined in, and he loses the job.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Wolf said the studio told him to "deliver a finished script by midnight on Sunday, the last day Chris was contractually allowed to get out of the movie" or be sued. He wrote 45 pages within a few days and dropped the script off at Paramount 15 minutes before his deadline.
- Spheeris fired Wolf from the film three times, and he was hired back twice by Farley and once by Lorne Michaels; she then refused to speak to him and finally banned him from the set.
- Farley's agent lined up possible roles in The Cable Guy, for which he was offered $3 million, and Kingpin, but Paramount remained firm on wanting another buddy comedy with Farley and Spade.
