Joe Dirt (David Spade) is perhaps your average janitor, if you consider your average janitor to have a mullet wig that was put on him as a boy to cover a hole in his head, and now it’s been fused into the skull when the bones finally grew together, and a life so bad that he can do little about it but look at the bright side of life.
