Joe Dirt is a 2001 comedy film starring David Spade, Dennis Miller, Christopher Walken, Brittany Daniel, Jaime Pressly, Erik Per Sullivan and Kid Rock. The film was written by David Spade and Fred Wolf.

Plot

The film revolves around white trash classic rock fan Joe Dirt (David Spade) who is discovered by a disc jockey Zander Kelly (Dennis Miller) at the radio-station where he works as a janitor, and is encouraged to recount his life-story. This involves being abandoned by his parents at the Grand Canyon when he was 8, and having searched for them since.

Joe Dirt's stories include being born without skin covering top of his head resulting in his mother covering it with a mullet wig which he had kept ever since; befriending a meteor (which turns out to be a piece of jettisoned excrement); meeting a Native American fireworks salesman named Kicking Wing; working at the carnival; working as an alligator baiter; befriending a strange janitor called Clem (later Gert B. Frobe) on a witness re-location program (Walken); and being held captive by serial killer "Buffalo Bob" (in a scene parodying Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs).

Dirt also meets Brandy (Daniel) who adores him, but Dirt is oblivious of this, believing she would be better suited to Robby (Kid Rock).Eventually after broadcasting his search on TRL a woman calls in and claims to be his mother. After a brief argument from Carson Daly, she utters "Is this where you want to be when Jesus comes back? Making fun of..." when she is interrupted by a shocked Joe Dirt. He realizes that she and his father (and Zander Kelly) are the only ones who could possibly know the emponymous phrase. He goes to the location of the caller only to find out that his parents are impossibly greedy and only looking for financial support from allegedly wealthy Dirt. After an outburst and an attempted suicide Joe Dirt is reunited with his new found family: Brandy, Clem (now Gert), his wife (the owner of the alligator farm he had worked for), and Kickin' Wing.
