Plot

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, Idaho, where he pursues a love interest named Brandy (Brittany Daniel), while evading a bully named Robby (Kid Rock).
