The comedian took it all in stride with his sweet message to fans after watching 'buddies' Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan both win Oscars on Sunday.

Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel cracked a joke at the beginning of Sunday night's awards show at the expense of Pauly Shore.

But have no fear—Shore was a good sport about it.


In his introductory bit, Kimmel quipped that two actors—Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan—were in Shore's 1992 flick Encino Man together.

Fraser and Quan were both nominated for an Oscar.

Kimmel then dragged Shore into the mix—mentioning one of his more poorly-received films to boot.

"What an incredible night this must be for the two of you, and what a very difficult night for Pauly Shore."
"Maybe it's time to reboot 'Bio-Dome'."

But the Son in Law actor had a good sense of humor about it all.

Shore posted Kimmel's jab to Twitter and Instagram along with a heartfelt note penned to his former costars.

He wrote:

"I don't know if you guys saw the Academy Awards last night, but Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at me in the monologue. I loved it."
"But what I REALLY loved is that my old buddies from back in the day, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan, took home the Oscars!"

Shore finished:

"Never quit on your dreams."

You can see his tweet along with Kimmel's monologue below.

People on Twitter loved the actor's kind words and encouragement.







Many expressed their love for Shore's films.






And, of course, everyone is waiting for Shore's rebirth to complete the Encino Man trio Renaissance.


Fraser, who played caveman Link in Encino Man, took home the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in The Whale. Quan, who played Kim in the 1992 comedy, garnered the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Trump Jr.—who was previously engaged to current U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle—will marry Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson this weekend, but Trump made it pretty clear the event isn't exactly at the top of his list of priorities, pointing to the war in Iran and "other things" that are keeping him busy.

Trump's Commencement Speech Claim That The U.S. Is 'Hot' Right Now Turns Into Hilariously Brutal Self-Own

President Donald Trump's attempt to smear the Biden administration turned into a self-own while he spoke at the commencement ceremony for the U.S. Coast Guard Academy this week.

Trump spoke as several hundred protesters gathered outside Coast Guard Academy campus in New London, Connecticut. During the nearly hour-long address to cadets and their families, he alternated between praising the graduating class of 2026 and revisiting familiar themes about what he described as the country’s recovery after a period of decline.
