The funniest scene wasn't even supposed to be funny...


This movie snuck up on me. I thought it would be OK, nothing special, but kinda fun to watch. Just like with the first Deuce Bigelow...

By the time I had watched both movies, I realized that I had new ones to turn on wherever they are at and just enjoy myself... Oh, there was The RInger as well, that one cracked me "Hey when the f&^%k did we get ice cream?"

I know everyone has covered the good comedic scenes/jokes, Jason Bateman's commentary, anything Patches says, the 'They don't make a card that says 'we're real sorry your dodgeball coach just got crushed by two tons of irony' card, and a few more.

This movie cracks me the hell up, but the absolute funniest scene is actually the Lance Armstrong scene, since that was around the last time that anyone viewed his as a 'hero', yet he's there giving the sage advice of the wise man who convinces the hero to not give up. This was still early enough in the scandal that I would not believe that it was done on purpose. Absolutely hilarious, even more so because it wasn't supposed to be.

.And DAMN Ben Stiller's wife is HOT.

Haha dude this is one of my favorite comedies, the whole movie still makes me laugh, no matter how many times I see it. But that Lance cameo might be even funnier now after his scandal came out.

It's hilarious that you mention The Ringer though, I used the quote "When the *beep* did we get ice cream?!" as my imdb signature for the longest time.

I knew seeing the Armstrong scene would make me chuckle when I saw dodgeball again :D
