DODGEBALL (2004) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION 

Everything Jason Bateman says in this movie is hilarious and delivered perfectly!

This film has one of my top comedy line exchanges of all time: "It looks like Average Joe's will be forfeiting." "That's a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em!" Delivered perfectly.

I was already laughing when you were worried this would not be a good movie. This is top notch comedy. Thanks for the reaction.

Fun story about this movie, the original ending was supposed to be Globo Gym winning at the end (playing into the "true underdog story" where the underdogs generally lose in real life). However, the studio hated the ending and made Stiller and the others change it for a happy ending. That's also why we get Stiller in the credits at the end complaining about the audience getting the ending they wanted. (It's also why the treasure chest says "Deus Ex Machina", it's them poking fun at the "unrealistic" ending.)

"Has Chuck Norris done any movies?" Oh, my stars & garters... You almost couldn't go to the cinema in the 70s & 80s without tripping over one of his movies, not to mention the tv series Walker, Texas Ranger. In fact in Will Ferrell's Talladega Nights his two sons are named Walker & Texas Ranger. Norris was "discovered" by Bruce Lee, and was one of the antagonists in Way of the Dragon. My own personal favorite is one of his earlier films, The Octagon.

Missy Pyle, who plays the woman on Ben Stiller's team, is memorable in Galaxy Quest.

Alan Tudyk (Steve the Pirate) is a national treasure. I recommend "Tucker and Dale vs Evil"

Great reaction, thanks for posting. Also RIP Rip Torn (1931 - 2019), you were a comedy legend.

“Nobody makes me bleed my own blood! Nobody!” 😂😂😂

One of the things I really like about this movie is how even the title is a joke. The whole title is "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story." It doesn't mean that it's a true story, but more like that this team is made up of "true underdogs." XD It's a really good parody movie, and pretty underappreciated. Glad you got to watch it.

"Stop doing things for pretty girls just because they tell you to" - Dawn Marie 2022.The lesson for every teenage boy. And some. men.

I remember seeing a BTS video about the making of dodgeball, and the "seduction" scene between Ben Stiller and his real life wife, Christine Taylor, took forever to shoot. Apparently, Ben kept adding "special touches" to the scene, and Christine couldn't keep a straight face. They eventually had to change camera angles to hide her laughter, and film parts of the scene separately for her to get through it. Lots of talent in that family.

I love DodgeBall it's a great movie. The girl that plays Kate is actually Ben Stiller's wife.

Have this in DVD. Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. 🔧 Just remember the 5 D's. ✌️♥️🌹

Chuck Norris' claim to fame was that he was one of the first Americans to popularize martial arts. He was a Black Belt back when karate, and martial arts were relatively unheard of in the Wrst

Lance Armstrong "I'm sure this decision won't haunt you for ever" oh the irony👻👻

Great movie - Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge!

Thanks Dawn, that was a fun movie!👏The girl that Ben Stiller is trying to get with, was his real life wife Christine Taylor. Christine Taylor & one of the announcers, Gary Cole (Cotton McKnight) were both in the Brady Bunch movies. Christine played Marcia Brady, and Gary played the father Mike Brady. The Dodgeball Chancellor is William Shatner, the original Captain Kirk from Star Trek.

You have a dirty mind when you seen Ben Stiller painting holding the "bull's horn"we know what you thought he was holding but maybe you would enjoy him holding a unicorn horn...lol

I took my daughter to see this when she was about 12 and I anticipated that is think it was stupid.i loved it. It's been a guilty pleasure that I watch again from time to time

Great reaction, another comedy you're sure to like is Balls of Fury, it's a parody of Bruce Lee's iconic Enter the Dragon. So, you may want to give it a watch beforehand if you haven't already seen it. Ball's of Fury came out around the same time as this movie and has Christopher Walken at his most hammy and corny best. Also, crossing my fingers that reactions to Black Adder, Fawlty Towers and Father Ted are in our future, once you've made it through Flying Circus of course. In regards to Black Adder, I would suggest skipping the first season. And since each season takes place in a different historical period, it's one of the few shows where you can do that without missing out or feeling lost. Besides you can always check out the 1st series afterward.

If you can dodge a wrench! Just brilliant!

Knew when it popped up on my notifications that you had a blast. An all time fav. "Now, let's watch this hyar moive matee! It's a treasure! Arrrrrrrr..."

My sisters and I used lines from this movie to tell jokes. Chuck Norris was a 7x PKA world champion kick boxer, whom had black belts in Tang Soo Do, Tae Kwan Do, and Judo. He and Bruce Lee starred in martial arts movies and TV in the 70's and 80s and helped restore interest in MMA.

It's funny that the tagline is "A True Underdog Story", because the film is a true underdog movie. I don't think it did much at the box office, enough to avoid being a bomb but it built a cult status sometime later. It really deserves more attention than it gets. So many great lines and meme-worthy scenes yet I rarely see it quoted in everyday life.

Jason Bateman turns in a stellar performance in this movie....what a shock. "I feel shocked..."

Chuck Norris is familiar to fans worldwide as the star of action films such as The Hitman (1991), The Delta Force (1986) and Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection (1990). He also starred in Missing in Action (1984) and its sequels, Firewalker (1986) and Sidekicks (1992). He was an executive producer of Walker, Texas Ranger (1993) as well as the star.

My daughter would also love that room full of unicorns

If you want to stay on the comedy train, you can check out Office Space, if you haven't seen it. It's a timeless classic.

Funniest part of the movie was Lance Armstrong giving the pep talk. 😆

Between the movie and the reactor, the double entendres were coming fast and furious...

So glad you were surprised and actually enjoyed Dodgeball, Dawn. It's one of my favorite feel-good movies. Enjoyed your reaction.

Thank you for letting me watch along with ya Miss Dawn...nobody does it better! 😍

The Wedding Crashers (2005) is a must see!

7:28 That's Hank Azaria. He does a number of voices on The Simpsons.

I don't remember correctly but I think your word the first person to react to this movie. After our years people kept watching it:)) you started the trend I love it! Glad this movie got the respect it deserved

I like your reactions because you're funny and dont get offended by everything that 'doesnt fly' these day. Plus you react to alot of movies that no one usually reacts to which is cool! lol Not sure if you've seen the Tim Burton movie Big Fish(2003). Its really good and super under rated! Anyways, keep it up Dawn!!

Great choice, classic comedy

Dawn marie: if they can't even beat a bunch of girl scouts, how can they win? Patrick o'houlahan: that's what this sack of wrenches are for

Even just because of the finale, it's worth watching this movie! La Fleur shot blindfolded, his cunning plan, the lesbians ... and of course, CHUCK NORIS!

With White’s stache, he should hang out at The Dirty Sanchez more often.

I really enjoy your reactions. You seem very genuine and that comes across. Nicely done. I put off watching this as well, for the same reasons you expressed in your intro. But just like Anchorman, this is totally absurd, but sometimes that is just what we need.

As for the young Patches O'Houlihan, not only was he the "science guy", he's a huge part of The Simpsons. His name is Hank Azaria. From his Wikipedia page: Henry Albert Azaria (/əˈzɛəriə/ ə-ZAIR-ee-ə; born April 25, 1964) is an American actor, comedian, and writer. He is known for voicing many characters in the animated sitcom The Simpsons (1989-present), most notably Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, Snake Jailbird, and formerly Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Lou, Carl Carlson, and Bumblebee Man, among others.

This is one of my favorite comedies. It’s not aged too great, but it’s still wonderful and a great parody of sports films. And you’ve become one of my favorite RU-vid reactors! Your accent and your sense of humor is brilliant. Thank you for this reaction and keep up the good work!

If you liked the young Patches O'Houlihan (Hank Azaria) then you'll love "The Birdcage" "my bowl has girls on it"... "no mine just has young Greek boys playing leapfrog"

I love how Scottish people are very strict. My neighbour is Scottish and not only is she strict but exactly like you.

Great reaction! Highly recommend you watch Office Space, Its another hidden gem comedy that'd be perfect for your channel.

I SO love this movie!! The Lance Armstrong scene did not age well. LOL

Chuck Norris was in the military and learned Karate and then won a lot of championships. Then he transfered to being an actor and was the final boss in a Bruce Lee movie, and at some point he got bitten by a venomous snake and after 6 agonizing days the snake finally died. That's how the legend started.

The guy presenting the trophy is a small time actor by the name of Wiiliam Shatner. You may know him from an obscure show / movie series known as Star Trek

TROPIC THUNDER should be your next movie reaction. Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Robert Downey jr, Tom Cruise among other are in it. Is funny as all hell. Tropic Thunder, you will not regret it

This possibly is the apex of the Frat Pack movie sub genre. A bunch of guys making movies getting their friends in there too. The Wedding Singer, Something About Mary, Duce Biggalo, Old School. To name a few. Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Will Farrell, Steve Carrel, Jack Black, Paul Rudd, Luke or Owen Wilson

A pcket for his twiddle? That's adorable and so are you. Yep, Dodgeball is a very funny movie. If you like sports comedy, try Kingpin with Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray and Randy Quaid, or Major League with Tom Barringer, Wesley Snipes, Charlie Sheen and Renee Russo.

Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor are actually married.

This comedy is so underrated

Lol 😅. Loved it. Chuck Norris was 7x Professional Kickboxing Association champ back in the 70' and also a judo black belt. He co-starred in Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee and was a c!ose friend of Lee's as well. Norris also starred in several movie's of his own and had a popular martial arts/crime drama TV series that's still in syndication. Jokes about Chuck's toughness have been popular in the media. One of the officials, btw, was played by William Shatner. Scottish bodybuilder turned actor who starred in TV and movies, particularly known for Star Trek.

The only thing I know about Chuck Norris is, if you work in an office with him, you NEVER ask for his three hole punch.

"Sidekicks"(1992) was a movie with Chuck Norris in it(like Dodgeball, not the main character!)

I like that Friends is where you know Hank Azaria from. 😂

haven't watched this in like 9 years probably so glad yall bringing it back to the forefront for others to go watch

Another great reaction video, you are so much fun to watch movies with. If you want to see a really good Chuck Norris movie, I would recommend "Lone Wolf Mcquade".

No reason to question this one, that’s for sure. It’s a great movie

The best place to find out about movie ratings, and what actors have done before like Chuck Norris is usually IMDB. The average user score for this movie is 6.7, which is reasonably high. All of the cast are listed, so you can click on them and find out what else they've been in. I remember seeing it at the cinema though because people were saying good things about it and I knew the actors in it would do a good job.

lol Chuck Norris definitely was in a ton of movies - old action movies where the logic's fubar and Chuck can't act worth a damn but many people enjoyed them for its dumb action - not the kind of movies I'd recommend, but it makes a lot of sense why he got that almost James Bond-like aura of "untouchable by bullets; god among men" sorta vibe

Mee-chelle *click* 🤣 Love it, mate👍👍

I did learn something ! I learned that I ~cannot~ believe Scotland's national animal is the unicorn. WHAT THE ..that's sooo frikken wacky lol. Thanks for the fun fact and this reaction! 😊 Btw Dodgeball is hilarious so don't worry, you haven't lost it entirely. Yet.

Its weird how I use to refer to Jason Bateman as the guy from Teen Wolf 2. Now its the guy from arrested development. Just thought id share some useless information.

Wonderful reaction!! Please do the following: 'Apollo 13 - 1995', 'Apollo 18 - 2011', 'Batman - 1989', 'Batman Returns - 1992', 'Below - 2002', 'Enemy Of The State - 1998', 'Equilibrium - 2002', 'Predator - 1987', 'Taken - 2008', 'The X-Files: Fight The Future - 1999'.

I love your open attitude.

Dawn: "I'm so white today" Me (trying to be supportive): "It's okay to be white" ::Lynch mob loses its mind::

Chuck Norris is an International Karate champion from the 60s/70s. After retiring from Karate he transitioned into movies and made a string of action films. Then he went to TV and played Walker, Texas Ranger.

Excellent movie!!!

It WAS a good one. I'm glad you liked it! You picked a real winner! I'm glad that you gave it a chance

Thank you Dawn Marie for this fun reaction video, and for telling us that the Unicorn is the national animal of Scotland!

Love this movie, f*****g Chuck Norris! thanks for reacting to it. Since you liked this one, you might also like Ben Stiller's another movie called the Zoolander, which is sort of similar movie, but about the well known connection of male modeling and political assassinations And yes, Chuck Norris was in movies, even in a Bruce Lee movie. However, he might be most famous for his Walker Texas Ranger movie/tv-series

This was a movie that I also went into with low expectations...but enjoyed the hell out of it. The one thing that REALLY didn't age well was the uplifting/words of wisdom moment from Lance Armstrong, considering his fall from grace a couple/few years after this movie came out. But it was a fun cast, some good jokes, some terrible jokes, and a good underdog sports movie.

Back in the days that comedy movies were gold! Now not so much... Lol glad you pick this one ;)

Does anybody else think UK people or something similar have the best reactions

There are a couple of Monty Python shows that they did in Germany. The first episode have then speaking in German and the second they speak in English (later to be dubbed in German for German television). In the first episode you have Michael Palin singing The Lumberjack Song in German. Instead of singing about his “sweet Papa” he sings of “Uncle Walter” who likes to dress in women’s clothing. The second episode is funnier than the first as the whole episode centres around a fairytale. The first episode does have a bit about Little Red Riding Hood.

I've seen this movie so many times, and yet your reaction at 6:18 has never occurred to me: "Oh, it's a horn!" Chuck Norris both "does" and "does not" get a lot of respect in the USA, but...he DOES garner respect from all over for his Bruce Lee affiliation, namely the movie "Way of the Dragon." (That's not a movie recommendation for you, necessarily, but those Bruce Lee movies almost all have something to recommend them.)

Good to see a fellow Scot as the best reactor on here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😁

"The Watch" would be a great follow-up to this!

I was thirteen when Dodgeball came out, and it's still one of my favorite movies of all time.

This movie is a hidden gem, mainly for Patrick Bateman (the goofy announcer). He was a child actor that vanished when he became an adult, then showed up in Arrested Development. He's since really come into his own in a wide range, but he excels at oddball comedy. Another good Ben Stiller movie that was silly like this is Mystery Men. The scary woman on the Cobras is Missy Pyle, who you've probably seen a lot, but never with the same face. She was also the female alien in Galaxy Quest. "Purple cobra" is roughly the same as "bell end." The pep talk scene at the bar did not age well. That was Lance Armstrong. Everything he said about himself was true. He did have multiple cancers then came back to dominate the Tour de France. A few years after this came out, he revealed that he'd been doping (performance boosting drugs) the entire time, along with most other top racers. Chuck Norris was a professional kickboxer back around 1970. He was in a movie with Bruce Lee, then in the mid 70's became an action star. What set him apart from the crowd was he was a non-Asian doing real martial arts. This made him hugely popular in the US. When Schwarzenegger and Stallone came along later, they did action scenes, but Norris' fights were better, because he was really doing that stuff. later came Segal and Van Damme, and Norris transitioned to a long-running TV show called Walker, Texas Ranger.

If you want another great comedy with Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, and Jack Black check out Tropic Thunder.

Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris is an American martial artist and actor.

16:19 that’s Lance Armstrong and he really did have cancer and he did win the Tour de France 5 times….with the help of steroids.

You know what a Dirty Sanchez is... but do you know what a Purple Cobra is?

Got to see a great reaction and got to learn Scottish trivia.....sweet

Great reaction as always Dawn Marie. I remember watching this movie for the first time and I thought it was really funny so you're not wrong. Seems as if we have similar sense of humor. You might want to check out one of my favorites. "Tommy boy"

If you actually do press the button it would probably work. The trick is to program your brain to associate the doughnut with pain. If done enough times this will happen regardless who presses the button. It's kinda like muscle memory. If you play the guitar for long enough you will no longer need to think to play the chords, your muscles and brain does it more or less automatically cuz your brain associats the activity with preprogrammed patterns.

Justin Long, Alan Tudyk and Christine Taylor are all pretty big names. I'm rather surprised you caught both Hasselhoff and Norris but didn't know any one of them. Justin was in like every high-school movie ever for a while (atleast it felt that way) Two of my favorite Justin Long movies *Accepted* and *Die Hard 4.0.* *Waiting* is also hilarious. I also love *Idiocracy* but he just small side character in that one so I doesn't really count. Alan has some of my favorite character portraits in cinema. Playing Watts in *A Knights Tale* was when I first found him and he hasn't disappointed since. This movie is also a fantastic role for him. Christine is sometimes a bit type-casted and her biggest hits are "Ben Stiller style" like *Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, The wedding singer* etc but she have some other very well known titles under her belt like *The Croft.* Aside from that she's been on like half of all the Sit-Com or daytime drama ever. From Dallas to Friends and from American Dad to iCarly.

19:41 that’s William Shatner of Star Trek fame.

Scotland has the unicorn. Hungary has the mythical turul, dragon for China, Vietnam, Bhutan.

Pretty Dawn with a hilarious classic! Can't wait for this one......😎🍷🚬👍👀💕👼

Patches may not of been Irish, but with that last name, he had least one Irish log in his wood pile.

If you like Unicorns you should see Legend. That is, if you haven't already seen it. Lone Wolf McQuade (1983) is a really good Chuck Norris movie.

Great choice

I am so glad you are watching this awesome comedy!

"Stop doing things for pretty girls just because they tell you to"....like comment and subscribe" lol
