  • Enduring choices include Bold strategy, Cotton, Ball me Blazer, nobody makes me bleed my own blood, dodge a wrench and the five Ds.
  • The Hallmark-card joke about a coach crushed by two tons of irony is one response’s funniest line.
  • Patches’s pecker-slap promise, sterile-urine justification and camel story are favorites, with necessary prompting a long-running quote habit.
  • Goodman’s cramhole, Joanie Loves Chachi, convoluted I-know-you exchange, touché and read-it-in-a-book lines are praised.
  • The blumpkin line evokes the era’s fascination with named sexual acts.
  • Poopy-flavored lollipop and inability to hit water from a boat are additional Patches highlights.

  • The panel uses a broader recognition-based definition than the usual hosts, proposing Cole, Tudyk and Williams through familiar previous roles.
  • The referee is recognized as a real sports official and American Gladiators referee; his delayed final foot-fault call is criticized despite being correct.

  • Team members and Patches are excluded for too much screen time; Bateman’s Pepper Brooks is the obvious choice.
  • Oswalt’s tiny voiceover contributions are likened to a successful half-court shot; Cole and Bateman together make every announcing scene memorable.
  • The feminine-versus-Canadian and1919Helsinki remarks are additional announcing highlights; one viewer initially believed the historical reference.
  • Armstrong is a late cameo-based contender, though Oswalt remains the tiny-appearance comparison.

Recasting Couch

Courteney Cox as Kate; Powell or Samberg as modern Goodman; Driver or Hader as modern Peter

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 00:59:34Read transcript
  • Taylor is debated as merely adequate versus funny and effective; the unicorn obsession may establish why Kate connects with the misfits.
  • Cox is suggested as Kate; Aniston may have been too big at the time, while Kudrow is briefly floated.
  • A modern remake lacks obvious comedy stars; Powell as Goodman is considered through Hit Man’s character range.
  • Teller and Driver are floated for the leads, with specific enthusiasm for Driver doing comedy and Peter’s movie-return line.
  • Samberg is liked for Goodman’s hair and extreme comic range; Hader is considered for Peter despite age, supported by his straight-man work in Trainwreck.

Apex Mountain

Ben Stiller’s2004 clout; Christine Taylor; dodgeball; Talk Like a Pirate Day; announcers for a fictional sport

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 01:08:58Read transcript
  • Stiller’s2004 stretch is affirmed because his clout got a first-time director’s dodgeball film made; Mary and Tropic Thunder are alternatives but the group returns to2004.
  • Vaughn is assigned to Wedding Crashers the following year, while Taylor is affirmed here.
  • The sport of dodgeball is emphatically affirmed for being revitalized by the film.
  • Stunt casting is proposed through Armstrong, Norris, Shatner and Hasselhoff, with amazement that these appearances fit a modest budget.
  • Talk Like a Pirate Day is affirmed for2004; pirates generally are debated against Pirates of the Caribbean and actual historical piracy.
  • Inflatable athletic cups are proposed and compared with Austin Powers’s different penis-enlarger prop.
  • Movie announcers are proposed against Bob Uecker in Major League; Cotton and Pepper are affirmed for a fictional, non-major-league sport.
  • Cash in suitcases is proposed through the deliberately unimpressive appearance of a hundred thousand dollars.

  • The panel broadly rejects sequels, citing Zoolander2 and unresolved feelings about Anchorman2; a LIV-style dodgeball sequel is joked about.
  • If forced, a prequel could explore the gyms’ rivalry and Peter instigating it by sleeping with Goodman’s employees, potentially making Goodman the sympathetic protagonist.

  • The football-show panel introduces a new draft segment; Globo’s players are generally favored before Average Joe’s, with Fran versus Me’Shell debated as first pick.
  • Kate’s throwing and catching compete with Peter’s blindfold skill, but Peter’s availability and accepted bribe undermine his reliability.
  • Gordon is a sneaky second pick for his competitive upside once angered.

Probably Unanswerable Questions

Peter/Kate/Joyce relationship; dodgeball’s popularity; hot pizza; ADAA Nazi hints; Bateman’s aging

In the discussion (6)
Approx. transcript time · 01:24:27Read transcript
  • The ending may imply a Peter/Kate/Joyce throuple, supported by an early three-people remark; Guam-to-Vegas flight availability is mocked.
  • Dodgeball seems worthy of greater popularity or Olympic inclusion; very short games might require best-of-five or best-of-seven series.
  • Pizza in Goodman’s pants raises heat and comfort questions, with waiting for cooling offered as the explanation.
  • The1938association, Uber-American film branding and chancellor title prompt speculation about an abandoned Nazi-origin subplot; this remains an imagined interpretation.
  • A joking question asks whether Brady used low-grade beaver tranquilizer, followed by a Levis joke rather than evidence.
  • Bateman’s apparent lack of aging is compared with Rudd and Hollywood cosmetic possibilities.
