Well, it wasn't based solely on AIRHEADS, it also had some WKRP and 
Howard Stern thrown in.

The players were:
two idenctical cousin Rodian bounty hunters (Krishna Karee and Bishna 
Karee.  What a crazy pair!)
A 19 year old Human Jedi (Johnny Landwalker)
A 20 year old Human smuggler (Jax the Snuggler, Master fo the good ship 
Acid Tryp)
A 21 year old Human con-man/gambler/ne'er do well (Alakazam the 
Magnficent aka Hugo Farley)

The party was supposed to go, with their New Republic Intelligence case 
officer "Bob" (the gun toting maniac), to an Imperial held planet to 
deliver a cargo ofNew Republic propaganda and a dissasembled Free Runner 
to a Rebel group.  The cargo, disguised as various articles of 
pornography and "agricultural implements" were stowed in crates aboard 
the Acid Tryp.

After arriving on planet, meeting their contact, and dumping the cargo, 
the party was hanging out in a spaceport bar, listenting to music, when 
they decided that a good way to spread New Republic propaganda (and to 
have a bit of fun) would be to take over a media outlet, and start 
broadcasting.

They tied up "Bob" (the gun toting maniac) and put him in a crate, 
becuase he wasn't going to let them do it.

The group went to a local radio station, broke in, tied up the staff, and 
then started broadcasting.  They did a good job of telling the Imperials 
that they suck, and making some fart noises, but soon the station 
building was surrounded by cops.  The group escaped by demanding the cops 
hand over a speederbus, they loaded the hostages up, and made a run for it.

They gave the hostages some money and a few spare weapons, and then 
jumped off the bus in a real slummy neighborhood.  After walking a few 
blocks, they found a dingy looking warehouse, on the roof of which was a 
patrolling stormtrooper.  The group broke into the warehouse, and found a 
secret munitions depot.  They ended up stealing sveral crates of thermal 
detonators, and two speeder bikes.  To make a gettaway, the two Rodians 
drove the speeder bikes through a wall made of armored glass, and then 
led the stormtroopers and army grunts on a merry chase, while the others, 
dressed in st armor, ran through the streets carrying the detonators on a 
repulsorskid.

After getting back to the Acid Tryp, they decided to go back to the 
broadcast station, and take it over again.  The second time, they 
captured a few cops as well as the staff.  They wouldn't realease the 
hostages until they got the equipment to put on a live stage 
performance.  The music really sucked, but the did become famous in 
several systems, and were in great demand for about six months.
