Black Sheep (1996)

Chris Farley plays the bumbling brother to a politician running for governor, whose misguided attempts to help him out requires David Spade's character to intervene to keep him in line, in a retread on the familiar Tommy Boy formula. It's not quite the good-natured comedy classic that film was, but the chemistry between Farley and Spade is off the charts and the laughs are contagious. The flimsy plot is not as important as the set-ups which involve a lot of slapstick humor and moments designed to showcase their broad comedy style. It might not be the funniest buddy comedy, but it does have its heart in the right place.

Wayne's World (1992)

I don't really feel the need to justify why this is a fun comedy, but it's a great example of being a product of its time and one of the best representations of the early '90s. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey bring their basement dwelling metalheads from Saturday Night Live to the big screen in a meta plot that involves adapting their public-access show for mainstream audiences. It's mostly an excuse for funny one-liners and catchphrases, but there's a lot of clever plot devices being employed here. Between this and Austin Powers, Myers dominated the '90s comedy scene. If you were a weird, grungy '90s kid, stuff like this and Beavis & Butt-Head were peak. No need to overthink it.
