Ben Stiller in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story was casting perfection of the highest order. A comedic role he was born to play.
This wacky 2004 movie took comedy levels to new heights and oozed that 90’s comedy vibe that we’d been longing for.
Ben Stiller plays the role of White Goodman. Leader of GloboGym a corporation of gyms.
White plans to turn Peter Le Fleur’s (Vince Vaughan) Average Joes’ gym into rubble to make way for his huge commercial property.
Peter must raise $50,000 to keep the mortgage on his gym. He recruits friends to enter a Dodgeball championship where the prize money will save the gym.
To stop Peter in his tracks White also enters the Dodgeball contest. The movie begins.
5 Funniest Lines From Ben Stiller in Dodgeball
We’ve rattled down the insane number of hilarious Ben Stiller moments in Dodgeball to our top five.
Which one is your favorite?
“I Know You. You Know You and I know that you know that I know you”
White sits down with Peter La Fleur (Vaughn) in a tense stand-off. The banter between the two is hilarious throughout.
There must have been thousands of outtakes for these scenes as I’ve seen them so many times and still laugh every single time!
“Nobody Makes Me Bleed My Own Blood!”
After an encounter between White and Kate (Christine Taylor), White makes a move and Kate slams him into the wall. After wiping the blood away from his lip this classic line is delivered.
When film lines are being quoted in schools that’s when you know you’ve made a hit!
“In Some Cultures, They Only Eat Vomit”
Not a chat-up line I’ll be using anytime soon but White tries this little number out on Kate.
I think we all know the outcome of that particular encounter.
“Meet Fran Stalinofskivitchdavitovichsky!”
When introducing a new member of the Globo Gym team this little tongue-twisting number has me in stitches every single time.
White goes through the names of each of his team members and leaves his last player with the best introduction.
Here we meet Fran (the deadliest woman on earth) for the first time.
“We ARE the Globo Gym Purple Cobras … and we will, we will, rock you!”
Not only referencing arguably one of the greatest bands of all time but the little routine instantly after the line is delivered, well, that’s just priceless!
Dodgeball 2 Announced?
Whilst information about Dodgeball 2 is slim we do know that Clay Tarver (Silicon Valley) has written the screenplay and Ben Stiller along with Stuart Cornfeld (Old School, Tropic Thunder) will be producing.
A little Dodgeball Charity match reunion back in 2017 teased this prospect but news has been slim ever since.
This is purely information taken from IMDB. No press outlet on the planet has yet confirmed that a film is officially going ahead, but someone had to have put it on there right?
If the movie materialized we could expect to see it around 2023.
After 2004 Ben Stiller went to star in such films as Tropic Thunder, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Dinner in America.
Let’s cross our fingers for Dodgeball 2!
