“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!” has become such a tag line. I’ve always loved this movie. Bateman doesn’t get enough credit for his bit part in it IMHO.
The actor you didn't recognize who was disappointed by the German team was David Hasselhoff. Hasselhoff starred in the "Baywatch" and "Knight Rider" TV series. He was also a popular singer in Germany. That was supposed to be the joke there.
"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood" That line is just perfectly delivered. Ben Stiller is just awesome in this, easily his best comedic performance for me. Better than Tropic Thunder even.
I’m not a fan of Ben Stiller, He’s terrible. The only semi decent movie he did was “There’s Something About Mary.” And even that movie was meh 🫤 But still better than any other Ben Stiller movie
Dodgeball is so popular that ESPN actually sets up a version of ESPN 8 (The Ocho) every year for 1 day in honor of the movie. In 2022 Corgi Races, the Evolution of Cliff Diving and the US Air Guitar All-Star Air Off were just some of the obscure "sports" they featured.
Depending on what "this type" means. You have Beerfest, Balls of Fury, BASEketball, The Bench Warmers, and many more that also came out around this time period. I also really like Superbad, Pineapple Express, Shawn of the Dead and Role Models among others. Although they are a slightly different type of comedy.
I laughed at the Lance Armstrong cameo giving Peter a pep talk. Considering he was disgraced for cheating having all his Tour de France championships taken from him.
Another Fun fact: ESPN 8 The Ocho actually exists. Every so often they show obscure sports like dodgeball or axe throwing on ESPN 2. When they do, they call the station The Ocho in honor of this movie.
David hasslehoff. Started in baywatch, but started a singing career and got so popular in Germany he literally sang on the Berlin Wall as it was being torn down
A king Cobra once bit Chuck Norris on the leg, after 3 days of agonizing pain the snake died. There was once a street in Texas named after Chuck Norris but the city had to change the name because no one crosses Chuck Norris and lives. When the boogie man goes to bed at night he checks under his bed for Chuck Norris.
The original ending had the Joe's losing, but they had to change it, but you can see some jabs the director made because of this. One was White's post-credits rant and the other is that the chest containing the bet winnings has 'Deus Ex Machina" (machinations of the god{s}) etched into the sides, a Deus ex Machina in movie terms is basically intervention from an outside force that solves a major problem in the story, and generally considered a bad trope.
Our school only had basketballs. That didn't stop the P.E. teachers from insisting on us playing dodgeball. From a middleschool tactical perspective, my face was apparently a high value target.
funny that the line "after your little tournament , your girl and ur gym is gonna be mine.....which is true since the actress playing "kate" is ben stiller real wife at the time

there's a fan theory, that "dodgeball" is the sequel to the early 90s disney movie "heavyweights." stiller plays a very similar character in both movies: super fat in their youth, hardcore / extremely into fitness, having a rich parent / father, etc. the theory is, after "heavyweights," stiller's character changes his identity and flees cross country. he's restarted what he tried to do in "heavyweights,' and is overly triggered by Peter and his gym.
In the beginning, God created the Heavens & the Earth. That is, after he got permission from Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris once slammed a revolving door. When Chuck Norris does Push Ups. He isn’t lifting himself up, he’s pushing the Earth down. One time a Cobra bit Chuck Norris. And after five days of agonizing pain, the Cobra died.
6:25 fun fact: no need to feel sorry for Winston here. He was played by a grown man. He and his brother are both little people and do stunt double work for children. They were on a season of The Amazing Race.
12:26 - This entire scene is made even funnier when you realize that they're married to each other in real life (or were at the time, perhaps, not sure if they still are).
“If you can dodge a wrench, you dodge a ball” 😂😂😂 that line is too iconic and hilarious Also even though White Goodman is an idiot and a dick he was the funniest and best part of the film, Ben Stiller is great as a villain “Nobody makes me bleed my own blood” “I know you. You know you. And I know you know that I know you” “Yeah, he will not be able to see very well Cotton” Those lines are too funny 😂😂
lance armstrong's fiasco with doping and doing the oprah interview was in 2013. Hasselhoff was last relevant in Baywatch which was canceled the same year she was born.
Two fun facts about this movie: Ben Stiller basically just replayed his character from Heavyweights, a comedy from the 90s where he played a narcissistic abusive fitness instructor. That one is pretty funny as well, especially after seeing the exact same character in Dodgeball first. The similarities are uncanny. The end of this movie was originally supposed to have GloboGym win the dodgeball tournament and the Average Joes go home having lost everything to them. This was a subtle joke to tie into the tagline: “a TRUE underdog story”, as in a realistic one. However, it fared poorly with test audiences, so they changed it at the last second to this ending. That’s why you see fat White Goodman at the end complaining “Good guy wins, bad guy loses. Big friggin surprise. That’s the problem with American cinema. Can’t handle any complexity in it. ‘Don’t make me think! I just want to be entertained!’ That bit was aimed at the test audiences who preferred a happy ending.
21:41 you dont' know who Chuck Norris is? Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding. Chuck Norris does not use spell check. If he happens to misspell a word, Oxford will change the spelling...
It’s alright if you don’t know who Chuck Norris is but I once heard a rumour he was bit by a king cobra and unfortunately the cobra didn’t make it after five days of agonizing pain. R.I.P. Cobra
@@Diegesis Really? So if a actor hasn't been in a recent movie their not relevant? Knight Rider, although I watched it as a kid, most people know him from Baywatch.
No clue who Hasselhoff is. No clue who Chuck Norris is. No clue what Frogger is. Recognizes a gimp mask immediately.
haha. gimp masks are as just as relevant today as ever
Well, she's got an OnlyFans, soooo.....
@@Diegesis please pin this comment
I know Hasselhoff, Norris, and Frogger; but have no idea what a gimp mask is. What is it?

Bateman was hilarious

I sure do like pumpkins Cotton.
It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em..
Fun fact: Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor (Kate) are married in real life. When she cringes around him, it makes it even funnier. 😅🤣😂
Didn’t they get divorced?
@@MikeB12800 got back together early 2022
Yes, they never divorced. Just separated. Now back together.
I came here specificity to mention this Fun Fact. Also, I had a huge crush on her back when she was on Hey Dude. I think I still do, tbh
@@nicolaiboensch6643 I think every man with a pulse had a crush on her in those days. 🙂

If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball.
They made me eat clay
There are many comedies of this type from around when this was made. Old School, Road Trip, Eurotrip, Wedding Crashers, Waiting and so many more.
I’d love to see these guys do Waiting

scotty doesn't know is matt damon best song
heavyweights is a funny movie and ben stillers character in heavyweights is basically the same character in dodge ball
Chuck Norris overrules everything! He's the only one that manage to watch a 24 hour long youtube vid twice a day.
Exactly and that "twice" was his choice, he could have watched it 10X Within the 24 hours long if he wanted to
False, sir! False!
Chuck Norris does not watch videos! He stares them down until they give him the information he needs!
"Yeah he will not be able to see very well Cotton"
Maple genuinely smiling and being happy definitely raises spirits.
Joanie loves Chachi!!
So random. It's an old spin off show from Happy Days that lasted only like 2 seasons. I still use that line from time to time.
@DarkTitan This is the most word-salad, run-on sentence I've seen today.
When Chuck Norris gets in the shower he doesn't turn it on, he just stares at it until it cries
Chuck Norris doesnt do push ups.. he pushes the earth down.
Chuck Norris visited the Virgin Islands. Now they are just known as "the Islands"
I laughed at the Lance Armstrong cameo giving Peter a pep talk. Considering he was disgraced for cheating having all his Tour de France championships taken from him.
This is one of my favorite comedies ever and is maybe the comedy I quote the most. It’s a masterpiece
Agreed. A well done comedy.
Maple's laugh is just great 👍 👌 😄
Every time I watch this movie I wonder how they completed it I would literally be laughing my ass off every take hilarious movie
Another Fun fact: ESPN 8

I was hoping to find throwbacks like these in here after she said she didn’t know who Chuck Noris is.
There is no chin under Chuck Norris' beard, just another fist.
Chuck Norris got into a fight with Superman, and the loser had to go out in public in his underwear.
Chuck Norris doesn't do push-ups, he pushes the Earth down

I never picked up on the chest saying that. Nice
yeah could be remembering wrong but i think i read that production shutdown and it was liek a big fight about the ending
It took me so long to realize that the woman who plays Fran is the same one that plays Laliari in Galaxy Quest.
Chuck Norris 's tears cure cancer.... too bad he never cries
I love the commitment of the Average Joe's when it came to the bdsm outfits. They went in 100% no half measures
Hahaha like the manager doesn't even need to be in uniform and he comes out with the horse bit in his mouth lol

Check out Heavyweights, my favorite Ben Stiller performance ever.
@@JustSomeGoy I love that movie, “get on the scale son!😃get of the scale!😡” kills me everytime lol
It hurt my soul when Maple didn't recognize the Hoff...
I was like…😮
“Depending on what you put it in it’s not a lot”
"Can you hit someone in the face in Dodgeball?" you ask?
Yes! I still feel that cheap shot on the side of my face from 7th grade some 40 years ago!!
Our school only had basketballs. That didn't stop the P.E. teachers from insisting on us playing dodgeball. From a middleschool tactical perspective, my face was apparently a high value target.
Justin Long is hilarious!
The trainer of the German Team is David Hasselhoff of Knight Rider and Baywatch fame. He's very popular in Germany.
16:43 - David Hasselhoff from Knight Rider.
And King of germany 🫅
If you liked this, watch "Mystery Men", a superheroes movie with Ben Stiller, it's hilarious!
funny that the line "after your little tournament , your girl and ur gym is gonna be mine.....which is true since the actress playing "kate" is ben stiller real wife at the time
the game is Frogger. It literally is a frog jumping across a road while dodging traffic.
"She's obviously a very attractive woman." That's Missi Pyle. And yes, she is extremely attractive.
The alternative ending is a grown man’s dream come true, winner winner
Justin Long really does take an absolute beating all through this movie

Simpin' for Maple giggles
yippy for a Maple reaction. This is right up your alley as we know you live to laugh
16:45 David Hasselhoff, best known for his time on the show “Baywatch”
That's debatable. Knight Rider is a pretty big Hasselhoff vehicle
This movie has sooooooooo many quotes that are just gold
16:45 that's David Hasselhoff
LOL please give Maple more comedies
The game is called frogger where you have to cross the street
Another good underdog movie no one seems to have a reaction to is Miracle!
Maple car wash = GREAT IDEA!!!
The original ending had them just lose. no sudden death no comeback. Just a freeze-frame on white Goodman and then fade to Black, roll credits.
Funnier
oh no not the beaver tranquilizer lmao
6:25 fun fact: no need to feel sorry for Winston here. He was played by a grown man. He and his brother are both little people and do stunt double work for children. They were on a season of The Amazing Race.
This was Ben Stillers second time playing this character, if you like this I recommend Heavyweights!
Jason Bateman was phenomenal as Pepper Brooks!!!
16:43 David Hasselholf, famous for his German record sales and his American hamburger commercial.
Baywatch, and Night Rider too

Can someone explain why they switch reactors all the time?
26:19 I don't know why but I love Maple's reaction to this scene.😂
Lol this movie has so many quotables it's ridiculously funny
“Goddamn you Bernice!”
I must have rented this movie like three times when it came out.
Great reaction. Nailed it.
Somebody buy this girl enter the Dragon sidekicks and the million movies that Chuck Norris’s in lol

The lawyer, Kate, is Ben Stiller's wife in real life!!❤
Maple you are the best
“If you can dodge a wrench, you dodge a ball”
