An alligator in Florida saw a camera pointed at him and took the opportunity to pose.

Pauly Shore has responded to one of the most devastating jokes delivered by Jimmy Kimmel during his Oscars monologue on Sunday night after the host compared the comedian to his former co-stars and two of the night’s biggest winners, Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan.

“Two actors from Encino Man are nominated for Oscars,” Kimmel quipped, referring to Fraser and Quan, who were up for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively. “What an incredible night this must be for the two of you and what a very difficult night for Pauly Shore.”

The ’90s comedy fixture posted his reaction the following day via Twitter, sharing, “I loved it.” He then redirected the attention back to his past scenemates by adding, “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! Never quit on your dreams.” See the full post below.

According to Page Six, the stray diss didn’t strike Shore as anything out of the ordinary. “We love to hate people when they’re on top,” the one-time MTV VJ asserted. “People wanted to smash me down and they did.”

“I was always nice to everyone, always cool, I put my heart into my all my films,” he continued. “You’re buying and selling a human being. Human beings have feelings, it’s not like selling real estate.”

The Oscars joke didn’t seem to spoil the moment entirely for Pauly Shore, who called his former colleagues’ wins “a big deal” and shared he was “happy for these guys.” As for Encino Man, he reflected that “we did a movie together years ago and I’m glad that people still talk about it 30 years later. It’s crazy.”

Shore also revealed that he traded messages with Quan a few months ago, and though he hasn’t spoken to Fraser in about five years, he recalled “working with [Fraser] was a pleasure” and “comedy gold.”

Meanwhile, Shore has set his sights on staging a similar comeback as his co-stars. “I do truly miss acting and I miss being on set… hopefully it happens,” he said. “It’s about just dreaming and hoping.” He currently hosts the Apple podcast Jam in the Van and stars in an autobiographical one-man show, Stick with the Dancing: Stories from My Childhood, which has attracted interest from an unnamed production company for a television adaptation.

“Someone out there will say, ‘You know what, we’re going to do something you wouldn’t expect — we’ll put Pauly in this role that no one would expect,’” he said. “I am not going to stop. I’m going to keep going. I know I’m going to get that call, and get that opportunity. That’s what’s it about.” Time can only tell if the rumored Encino Man sequel for Disney+ will be the right vehicle for that.

I don’t know if you guys saw the @TheAcademy Awards last night, but @jimmykimmel 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!

HBO has reached the half-way mark of their controversial new series The Idol, which has earned even more harsh reactions from fans on social media.

Last Sunday’s second episode – entitled Double Fantasy – was criticized for showing Lily-Rose Depp‘s Jocelyn masturbating and self-harming. 

Sunday night’s new episode – entitled Daybreak – features even more sex scenes and masturbation scenes featuring Jocelyn and Tedros (The Weeknd).

While some on social media seem to be enjoying the show, the reactions are largely quite negative, including one fan who was appalled by a joke about Jeffrey Epstein.

‘@RielFlack added, ‘That Epstein joke was appalling,’ referring to a line from Eli Roth’s Andrew Finkelstein who says Jocelyn is, ‘making me have IBS. I’m f***in’ s*****ing more blood than a kid at Epstein’s island.’

One viewer declared he was ‘giving up’ on the show after Sunday night’s new episode.

‘#TheIdol I give up on this God awful show. It’s a big ole nothing burger,’ tweeted @The_Cro_Show.

He added, ‘If the point of the show was for me to hate The Weeknd, mission accomplished.’

The series follows Jocelyn, a beloved pop star still mourning the death of her mother – who we learned in Sunday night’s episode was abusive to her for many years.

She encounters mysterious night club owner Tedros at one of his night clubs, and he slowly starts taking over her life.

Sunday night’s episode began with Tedros waking Jocelyn up and telling her they should go shopping, with her best friend/assistant Leia (Rachel Sennott) driving them… while Tedros goes down on Jocelyn in the backseat while she’s driving.

They also encounter a horde of fans and paparazzi, with Jocelyn posing for selfies with her fans, though when they get to the Valentino store, Leia calls Jocelyn’s co-managers Chaim (Hank Azaria) and Destiny (Da’Vine Joy Randolph) to warn them about Tedros.

‘This guy Tedros, has just, like, taken over the f***ing house,’ Leia tells Chaim, adding that he fired Jocelyn’s trainer Andreas for no reason.

‘bro WHATTTT WAS THAT #theidol,’ @itst_brooke said in a quote-retweet of The Weeknd’s tweet about tonight’s episode.

Another incredulous fan, @ka1tIyn11, tweeted, ‘what in the reeses peanut butter f**k is going on #THEIDOL.’

@CryBabyWalker tweeted, ‘The Idol should’ve just been a two hour long movie,’ adding in another tweet, ‘To me it would’ve translated better as a movie instead of a show.’

@RexTestarosa added, ‘This show the idol is terribly written, like it’s really bad dude LOL.’

After Leia voices her concerns about Tedros, Chaim and Destiny wait at the house for them to return, where they finally meet Tedros.

Tedros promises they will deliver three ‘hit’ songs within the next two weeks, and while they seem to be taken in by his supposed charm, they both admit in the car that they think Jocelyn is in trouble.

Among the other controversial moments of the show are Tedros and Jocelyn having sex in the Valentino store… but she makes him pull out when he says he’s going to c*m in her.

That results in him masturbating in the store, while Jocelyn waits, sipping on champagne as befuddled employees listen.

Tedros’ flaring temper is also on display a few times, angrily yelling at an employee he thinks is checking out Jocelyn, saying he will ‘curb stomp’ him.

It’s also revealed by Izaak (Moses Sumney) and Chloe (Suzanna Son) that Tedros doesn’t allow any of his people to say no to anything.

Some, like @InscribeWonders, were impressed by the show, tweeting, ‘Episode 3 of #TheIdol was so f***ing good!’

Another fan, ‘@iHateChantelle pondered, ‘I started #TheIdol & b***h is this girl supposed to be Britney???’

It’s revealed during a dinner scene that Jocelyn’s mother who she lost to cancer shortly before the show began was quite abusive to her.

She revealed over a dinner at her home to everyone that she abused her with a hair brush, hitting her to provide some ‘motivation’ for her career.

The manipulative Tedros gets her to admit that she misses that motivation and proceeds to abuse her with the same brush her mother did, which fans did not take kindly to. 

@taygonda tweeted, ‘Tedros beating her with the same brush her mother abused her with??? Was that supposed to be sexy.’

@cvntoure added, ‘WTF IS WRONG WITH TEDROS ABUSIVE A**’ while adding in another tweet, ‘Tedros is NOT gonna talk to her like that wth.’
