Weekend at Bernie’s: A TERRIBLE Idea That Worked?!

Two friends. A beach house. And a dead body they pretend is still alive. It sounds like a bizarre, dark premise that never should have worked… but Weekend at Bernie’s became one of the most unforgettable comedies of its era and even spawned a sequel. Today, we break down the full story behind Weekend at Bernie’s and Weekend at Bernie’s 2 — from its strange origins and casting decisions to the physical comedy that made Bernie an icon. We also explore how the sequel tried to top the original, the unexpected voodoo twist, and how a dancing corpse sparked a real-world craze years later. Wanna support us?
