There are numerous firework stands in Kentucky, but can it be considered a genuine fireworks stand without Hoosker Doos or Hoosker Don’ts? The character “Joe Dirt” from the 2001 movie, portrayed by David Spade, would argue otherwise. In a famous scene from the movie, Joe Dirt lists a variety of eccentric fireworks names. During a visit to Kentucky, David Spade revisited his beloved character. He shared a video from a fireworks stand in the state, embracing his nostalgic role. The video is a must-watch experience: Can’t see the embed? Find the video here. Also, check out the fireworks laws for Kentucky and Indiana.
If you need a reminder of the movie’s plot, here’s a summary from Google: “He’s the wrong person, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Joe Dirt (David Spade) is a janitor with a mullet hairstyle, acid-washed jeans, and a dream – to locate his lost parents from when he was eight at the Grand Canyon. His misguided journey leads him through a series of adventures until he reaches Los Angeles, where a shock-jock (Dennis Miller) hosts Joe on the radio to mock him. However, as Joe’s tale unfolds, mockery transforms into applause, captivating an entire city.”
“Joe Dirt” would say no.
In the iconic 2001 movie about a mullet-donning redneck, played by David Spade, there’s a memorable scene where he lists off a bunch of wild names for fireworks.

He tweeted a video he took at a fireworks stand somewhere in the state, and well, you just have to watch it yourself:
