IMO I've thought Eric was the worse of the two villains

I never watched either of those classic films.

One of the reasons why I've felt Eric was the worst of the two is because he pulled a gun on Billy and the principal and threatened to shoot them, plus he also blackmailed the principal into lying about Billy being bribed by him in order for him to keep his job and threatened to sue Brian if he doesn't give him the company.

I've never thought the bad things Shooter has done was nearly as bad as the bad things Eric has done.

The worst thing Shooter ever did IMO was steal Happy's jacket, I also thought Shooter was far more likable than Ben Stiller's character in the movie.

That may be true but Stiller had a SWEET moustache.

You can trouble me for a warm glass of shut the hell up.

I've totally forgotten all about Ben Stiller's mustache.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

That is an unfortunate travesty to mustaches everywhere.

They're both very very bad.

Eric was more 'evil' I guess...but I've always loved the villains from Adam Sandler films in general. You can sympathize with both because Sandler's characters are always incompetent buffoons in contrast to their hard-working deserving characters, but also they're just really fun. Shooter and Eric are both great to me. Choosing which I like more is a tougher question.
