box office than the one before. Describing Shore's performances in these movies, film critic Roger Ebert wrote, "Shore bypasses all categories to achieve a kind of transcendent fingernails-on-the-blackboard effect." In 1997, Shore starred in the eponymous TV show Pauly, which was cancelled after five episodes aired. Shore made a cameo appearance in the American rock band Limp Bizkit music video "N 2 Gether Now" as a pizza deliveryman and a briefer appearance in "Break Stuff". The Golden Raspberry Awards has recognized Shore's film performances several times, awarding him Worst New Star of the Year for Encino Man, Worst Actor of the Year for Bio-Dome, Worst New Star of the Decade for the 1990s, and nominating him for Worst Actor of the Century (which he lost to Sylvester Stallone). In 2003, Shore produced, wrote, directed and starred in Pauly Shore Is Dead, a semi-autobiographical mockumentary, which gave him the best reviews of his career (57% on Rotten Tomatoes, far above his 1990s films), and in 2005, starred in the short-lived reality television series Minding the Store. In 2010, Shore starred in Adopted, which sees him traveling to Africa to adopt a child. In March 2018, Shore appeared as himself in episode 10 of the TV series Alone Together. In 2022, Shore was announced to provide the voice of Pinocchio in the American dub of Pinocchio: A True Story, a Russian animated film. Following the release of the trailer in January, an infamous scene in which Shore says, "Father, when can I leave to be on my own? I've got the whole world to see," became a viral internet meme due to his unusual line delivery. Shore has taken the response in good humor. Following Shore's performance as Pinocchio going viral on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, he starred in another Russian animated export dubbed by Lionsgate: My Sweet Monster. In the film, Shore voices a junior mailman who has a crush on the king's daughter Princess Barbara, and ends up taking over the kingdom.
