Shore created that character, called the Weasel - all brahs, whoas, and vocal fry - for his standup act, but it bled into his wider public persona, thanks to his years as the host of MTV's "Totally Pauly," a combination of man-on-the-street gags, music videos, and general Pauly Shore-ness, and his starring roles in a string of poorly reviewed (but much loved, at least by the other ten-year-olds I ran with) movie comedies like "Encino Man" and "Son in Law."
