The film opens at a Los Angeles radio station, where Joe Dirt (David Spade) works as a janitor and lives in a boiler room. When a producer at the radio station discovers Joe getting bullied in the hallway, the producer finds Joe’s natural white trashiness too impossible to be believed, and insists he be brought into the studio to talk live on the air with a disc jockey named Zander Kelly (Dennis Miller). The bulk of the movie consists of Joe recounting his life story in flashbacks to Zander who, along with the audience, seeks laughs at Joe’s expense. Joe’s life story begins with him being abandoned at the Grand Canyon at the age of eight. After growing up in a series of bizarre foster homes, Joe finds himself living in the town of Silvertown, Washington, where he pursues a love interest named Brandy (Brittany Daniel), while evading a bully named Robby (Kid Rock).

After a bizarre twists of events leads to the death of Brandy’s dog, a reflective Joe feels the need to seek out his estranged parents. The search for his parents leads Joe on a series of adventures, meeting colorful characters and working odd jobs. Joe narrowly escapes death when thrown in the hole and forced to “put on the lotion”, by Buffalo Bob (Brian Thompson). Eventually Joe lands his janitorial job at the radio station where he recounts how, at one point, how he decided to give up the search and return to Silvertown to be with Brandy. When he got there, Robby informed him that Brandy found Joe’s parents, but instructed Robby not to tell Joe. Robby produced a note from Brandy to prove it. Hearing this, Zander insists on getting Brandy on the phone to find out why she did this. Brandy admits to writing the note to Robby. She did it because she wanted to tell Joe in person, but never had the opportunity. Brandy goes on to tell Joe that his parents were killed the day they were at the Grand Canyon and pleads with Joe to come back to Silvertown. Read more
