The fact that Dodgeball made such an impact that every year ESPN pays homage by becoming ESPN 8 "The Ocho" is mind-blowingly hilarious to me

Justin Long was the only actor who could take the hits over and over and not subconsciously try and dodge them so they used him for a lot of B-Roll hits. Suffering from success.

"I'm being told Average Joe's doesn't have enough players" "It's a BOLD strategy Cotton, lets see if it's pays off for them" Best. Line. Ever.

"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood, NOBODY!!!" Literally my favorite comedy of all time, I remember watching this when I was WAY too young to watch it, but even then I knew this was the funniest movie I would ever see in my life

The great thing about the Steve the pirate is that they don’t explain why he thinks he’s a pirate. He just is and you just go along with it.

This movie has probably my favorite Jason Bateman scenes😂

I dont remember much in life but the quotes "if you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." And "Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive, and Dodge." are the quotes I can never shake out of my head.

The fact that Christine and Ben are married in real life makes their scenes together SO much more funny.

Alan Tudyk went to Juliard, and has played this character, Hoban Washburn, an imperial droid, nobility from Weaseltown, a chicken, a toucan, and a hundred other parts where he stands out amongst some hugely talented actors. There needs to be a lifetime achievement award in this man’s future.

Lance Armstrong giving Peter a pep talk didn't age well considering Lance was stripped of all his Tour de France wins for cheating. 😆

14:48 funsies fact: the movie originally DID end with an expectation -subverting ending with the protagonist underdogs losing, but the studio made them re-do it, hence the post credit rant.

Fun Fact: At the time the movie came out, David Hasselhoff was enjoying a very good music career.... in Germany, they loved his music there. That's why they had him being the coach of the German team.

"I'm being told that Average Joes does not have enough players and will be forfeiting the championship match." "That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for for 'em." One of the greatest scenes in cinema history.

If you like Ben Stiller and haven’t seen Tropic Thunder yet, you MUST watch it immediately. Same silly humor and a great ensemble cast.

"Mystery Men" was one of my favorite Ben Stiller movies. Mr.Furious was AWESOME

I've always thought that William Shatner is actually playing himself and for whatever reason, he is the Chancellor of the ADAA (which is additionally funny since he's Canadian). It's not really that strange when one considers that Chuck Norris sits on the sport's governing body.

I'm kind of surprised none of the Jason Bateman one-liners landed with her. Those were the parts that made me laugh the most!

In retrospect, the Lance Armstrong scene is not just a blatantly awkward shoehorned-in cameo, but it is meta-commentary on the illegal lengths some competitors will go to. For a brief window it seemed like every other person I met was sporting a yellow "Live Strong" plastic bracelet. That faded fast.

Jason Bateman absolutely kills me with EVERY single line

This movie is loaded with quotable lines from start to finish that are a testament to the fantastic writers and the perfect delivery of the director and actors. Knew you would enjoy this one, glad you finally got to see it!

I don’t know what you would call this Mt. Rushmore; but “Talladega Nights” "Wedding Crashers" “Anchorman” and this movie are just golden examples of the times 😅 we had to see this twice in the theaters because we laughed over so many of the other jokes.

The commentary at the end with Ben talking to the camera was because the original ending saw Average Joe's lose. The test audience rebelled and they reshot it. You're about as useful as... is one of my all time favorite movie quotes. Missy Pyle Needs to be better known. She was also the only female Thermian in Galaxy Quest. She's been in things where she looks normal, but she's tragically underrated as a character actor. Another Ben Stiller movie in this line is Mystery Men from around 1998. No explanation, no hints. Just watch it.

Thank you Vkunia... ...and thank YOU, Chuck Norris.

To be fair, I would TOTALLY rather every gym have a pirate than an influencer! 😂

I love the interaction between Ben Stiller & Christine Taylor especially knowing they’re married makes it funnier. 15:58 actually with Justin he was the first one to get hit with an object then Vince was next and he questioned how hard stuff was being thrown.

We all forget the true hero of this movie, Bernice. Without her use of multiple types of steroids this movie would have been really short.

You absolutely need to watch the movie "Heavyweights" now for another feel good comedy with Ben Stiller as a fitness villain. It's a kids movie but it's pretty fantastic and definitely holds up just because of Ben.

Ben Stiller's a massive Star Trek fan. I'm guessing that's what William Shatner was doing there. Pretty much every line from Jason Bateman is gold.

I'm surprised you recognized Missi Pyle under all the makeup. She is a beautiful woman and they made her look so ridiculous. And the guy who's in love with her was also in James Cameron's Avatar

I still use the "nobody makes me bleed my own blood" line any chance I can to this day. Such a nonsensically funny thing to say imo.

Not gonna lie, this is one of my all time favourite movies and definitely in my top 3 comedies alongside "Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Hot Fuzz".

I remember in middle school when this came out it was **Everywhere**. Everyone in my class had a copy at home, people wouldn’t stop quoting it, merchandise was popping up, etc. The trend did die out for awhile I guess because everyone got sick of it but it does seem to be making a comeback again

Ben Stiller plays a great villain and doesn't do it nearly enough. Heavyweights (which might be White Goodman's origin story 😉), Hot Pursuit, and Happy Gilmore all have him just being the worst in the funniest ways 🤣🤣🤣

"It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em." Pepper Brooks

“If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!” One of the greatest and most iconic movie lines ever

So....I know it was a throwaway joke in this movie but now "ESPN 8: THE OCHO" actually exists and they do actually show obscure sports. In the past couple months at bars in Colorado, Iowa, and Texas, I've seen Dodgeball, Cornhole, and Slamball (basketball with trampolines) being aired.

MYSTERY MEN's ensemble cast includes Ben Stiller and the late Paul Reubens in a great non-Pee Wee role. An underrated superhero comedy from the before times, I confidently recommend.

i love how jason bateman became a meme from this movie with the line "bold strategy cotton, let's see if it pays off"

“Nobody makes me bleed my own blood.” Still use this line 😂

Nobody makes me bleed my own blood, nobody! We need more reactions to these one liner, haha.

A couple of fun facts about this movie: Ben Stiller broke three cameras in succession filming one scene, and even hit his wife Christine Taylor in the face once. In an interview he said they drove home together and that it was a very awkward moment between the two. According to many cast members, the hardest part of filming the dodgeball scenes was not flinching when they knew they were about to be hit by a ball. One of Dame Helen Mirren's favorite movies, according to Rotten Tomatoes. In the scene where Peter walks into his hotel room and White and Me'Shell are there waiting for him, White says, "¿Donde está la biblioteca Pedro?" In Spanish, it means "Where is the library Peter?". Of the 32 teams in the Las Vegas Tournament, 16 were identified by name or shown in competition. They are: Average Joes, Globo Gym Purple Cobras, Flying Cougars, Team Blitzkrieg, Kamikazies, Skillz that Killz, Las Vegas Police Department, Lumberjacks, M.I.L.F.S., Moose Knuckles, Clown Punchers, Mulchers, She-Mullets, Wedgies, Yetis and Pouncers. Dodgeball 2 has been confirmed and is currently in development.

Awesome reaction as always Vicky. This is such a classic comedy with an absolutely stacked cast. They really don't seem to make them like this anymore.

I think you would really love "The Wedding Crashers" , also with Vince Vaughn and also Owen Wilson.

I know I'm not the only one that hoped she waited around for the post credit scene! 🤣

This movie has a stellar cast. Rip Torn and Stephen Root, Gary Jones and Jason Bateman. And Booger from revenge of the nerds has a cameo. David hasselhoff. Lance Armstrong. Lol.

'Tropic Thunder' for sure, if you haven't seen it yet. One of Ben Stiller's best. He wrote and directed it also.

Man, this was a 2000s classic. I remember everyone in school quoting this movie.

This movie has one of the most underrated comedic characters of all time… Pirate Steve, I love him 🏴‍☠️🖤

Old School is another good comedy with Vince Vaughn.

What a joy and a privilege to get to watch this for the first time right now. I saw it when it came out when I was 15, loved it then, love it more now.

Missy Pyle rarely has large roles, but she's always fun in the ones she's in. Two of my favorites are Galaxy Quest and Josie and the Pussycats. Both are loads of fun, if you haven't seen them I highly recommend them. Josie is the one you've probably heard the least about. It's not what I was expecting at all. It's actually really snarky, filled with some good social commentary, has some really fun dialogue, a solid cast, and some surprisingly good music, including an absolutely hilarious musical sequence spoofing boy bands (DuJour means cameos).

Rip Torn (Patches) was the icing on the cake in this movie.... he always knew how to take a character and make it his own and steal the scenes that he was in.... R.I.P. good sir, you are missed....

There are few movies I can watch a bunch of times and still really enjoy. Dodgeball, Grandma's Boy and Road Trip are the main three that I never get tired of. EDIT: And Eurotrip!

I always liked how the movie is a slow build to the Joes vs. Cobra final. Good subtle pop-culture reference joke.

Working theory is White Goodman is actually Tony Perkis From Heavyweights, after having a nervous breakdown he changed his name and opened a Gym

I still use "Goddamn you Bernice" at work regularly 🤣

Such an underrated comedy and definitely one of the best ones I've ever seen. 1990-2010 had the best comedies as back then, people weren't as sensitive as they are now.

The lance armstrong cameo aged hilariously.

The fact that you know who the Undertaker is makes me a bigger fan of your channel.

They are actually in the works of making part 2 of Dodgeball so I’m excited to see it

They did need to include those VJJ suction noise in my opinion. So funny!

Fun fact: 16:30 when Justin is getting absolutely smoked by dodgeballs from the pitching machine that was real--in that they had it cranked up for him and he was just getting pounded. When Vince showed up for his filming of the scene they fired like 1 at that speed and he put his foot down (perhaps given the star power) and had them slow the machine way down. He had no idea Justin had been absolutely eating dodgeballs prior to that. You can see it in the speed of the ball Vince catches vs the zero-arch heaters bouncing off Justin!

This movie is a hilarious classic! This is also the movie that introduced me to Alan Tudyk, Justin Long, Jole David Moore, Jason Bateman, Gary Cole, and Chris Williams! I remember everyone in middle school would recite hilarious lines from the movie! They just don’t make comedy movies like these anymore. ‘Dude, Where’s My Car’, ‘The New Guy’, ‘Anchorman’, ‘The Benchwarmers’, ‘Kangaroo Jack’… so many classic 2000s comedy to list. Your reaction towards the end of the movie was priceless! Hahaha! I’m glad you enjoy the film! :D

That car wash scene made me crack up And the wrench throwing

If you go into it understanding that it is a Ben Stiller film, Mystery Men is a lot of fun!

Another good Ben Stiller comedy is called Heavyweights , it’s about a camp for overweight children and Ben Stiller plays the Camp counselor

I like how you laughed at Winston getting hit before you said "noooo".

Another Ben Stiller comedy that you maybe haven't watched is Mystery Men (1999). Paul Reubens and Hank Azaria are also in it.

Reaction GOLD when she said "they didn't have to add that sound effect"

We _all_ remember how the Helsinki Episode of 1919 turned out...

That funny lookin man with the glasses and the pent up rage is Bill “the Billdozer” Dauterive. Not a man to be taken lightly

Like how Ben is pretty much his same character in Heavy Weights.

"No one makes me bleed my own blood."

Ben Stiller directed and cameoed in The Cable Guy starring Jim Carrey and Mathew Broderick. A+ dark comedy, highly recommend.

The weird thing is that Average Joe's Gym was originally supposed to lose the tournament (you can find the clip on youtube), but the studio had them change it because it was such a bummer

16:03 I love how she was genuinely concerned for Justin, he’s a good actor

the guy with glasses is in office space as milton

I remember when I saw this in the theater (one of TONS of movies I saw in the theater during 2004), I laughed harder and more frequently than I ever had at any movie before.

What makes the awkward interactions between White Goodman and Kate Beach so hilarious is that Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor are married in real life.

“I don’t know Steve, if you’re not a pirate, then who am I gonna split this buried treasure??” “GARR”

The ocho is real ESPN broadcast highlights every April.

I have a theory that ben stiller actually plays the same character across a couple different movies but because he keeps failing he has to keep changing his name. Because if you haven't seen heavyweights that movie has him playing the same guy basically and his dad is super rich as well.

Christine Taylor, the lead actress, is Ben Stiller's wife. They were in Zoolander together, which is maybe Ben Stiller's funniest movie. It's not for everyone, but the people who like it, love it.

Christine Taylor always looks great (going back to "Hey Dude") but this is one of her best ones I think

Its funny you mentioned the taxes because i always say that in these type of movies. I know its obviously a movie and they dont factor that in, but in reality, they would still be pretty short after the taxes.

First person who actually pointed out the whole tax issue with the $50k.

If you liked this one, then you should definitely watch BASEketball, a very underrated sport comedy that i loved.

"Hit them! Hit the children!" - wisdom of VKunia

Ben Stiller comedy movies are almost always a win, especially from that era! Add these to your list… - There’s Something About Mary - Mystery Men - Keeping the Faith - Meet the Parents - Night at the Museum - Tropic Thunder - Tower Heist

Definitely should check the movie, Heavyweights. Ben Stiller plays the "villain" haha. His character in Dodgeball, I believe, is based off of that. Good movie.

For an underappreciated Ben Stiller film, it has to be Mystery Men, it's like the Avengers if they were really lame.. As for a random film to suggest, Watership Down from 1978. Honestly, I don't know why it never crops up on reaction channels, but it's one of those films where the (slightly) older generation wonder how modern audiences will react to this kid's film. It's got bunnies.

Great reaction, this is one of my favorite comedies. It has a spot in my physical media collection 😎👍

The Cameos in this movie are INSANE...just everyone in the world who was good at comedy during that time

Mystery Men. Ben Stiller leading a team of super-ish heroes… featuring Paul Rubens. Not 100% slapstick, but full of solid late 90s humor.

Ben Stiller comedies: There's Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, Along Came Polly, Starsky & Hutch, Mystery Men, The Watch, Tower Heist, Duplex. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is not a comedy, but it is an underrated Ben Stiller movie.

This movie is insanely quotable, hysterical, and just plain fun! I absolutely love this one. And we knew what we were doing back then with humor. No one got bent out of shape, we just laughed. "If you want dodgeball victory you gotta grab it by it's haunches and hump it into submission. That's the only way!"

Another great comedy you should watch is Office Space, since there are 2 actors from it in this movie.

This was another in the long line of the Frat Pack movies, the best of which were Zoolander, Old School, Anchorman, and Wedding Crashers. Old School's my personal favorite.

Don't sleep on Gary Cole, the announcer with Bateman, or Stephen Root, googles on Average Joe's, both are amazing comedic actors.
