Pauly Shore, a Hollywood comedian/actor, loses everything: his mansion, no one wants to represent him, he returns home with his mother, and now parks vehicles at the Comedy Store. Then, as he is up in his mother's loft, a deceased famous comedian arrives and advises Pauly to commit suicide or he would be remembered as a hilarious genius who died before his time. Pauly then fabricates his own demise, sending the media into a frenzy.
