Why was it so successful?
>>
Memes before memes.
>>
>>63543789
this.

My normie classmates memed the shit out of this movie
>>
>>63543789
Proto-memes.
>>
>>63543789
>>63543820
By memes do you mean it was quotable?
>>
>>63543896
if you're a normie retard
>>
>>63543789
Does that include "The Hangover" too?
>>
It was a fun indie movie that wasn't trying to be pretentious
>>
Because it wasn't lazy or judgemental in its depiction of small town America.
>>
>>63543752
Because it was the most quotable film of all time
>>
>>63544064
it's more that it was released before everyone understood that lolrandum humor is inherently pretentious
>>
>>63544080

This exactly.
>>
>>63544031
No. Don't be a cunt.
>>
>>63544031
Naw the by time Hangover came out, memes were already a thing.

I would put Anchorman and Dodgeball as other proto-meme movies. Kids in school used to quote them constantly. Chappelle's show as well
>>
>budget: 400,000
>gross: 44,000,000
not bad
>>
If you can't rewrite the script word for word from memory you don't deserve to browse this board
>>
>there will never be a revival of late 90s/early 2000s comedy films
>>
>>63544141

I'm really, really disappointed by the lack of appreciation Dodgeball has on this board
>>
>>63544312
Don't be. Let it remain pure.
>>
A FREAKIN' 12-GAUGE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>>
I caught you a delicious bass.
>>
Do the chickens have large talons?
>>
is it just me or does the movie make you feel lethargic
>>
Who /suckshardattetherball/ here?
>>
do i have to be american to understand this movie?

i liked the dance though
>>
How the fuck did an arthouse comedy film become mainstream?

Was it MTV, Paramount and Fox Searchlight?
>>
Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre are the best, most wholesome, funniest, and quoteable fun for all ages movies of all time. Too bad Gentleman Broncos was shit, I had big hopes for Hess.

>Also, you faghats don't know what memes are if you think it is proto meme.
>>
>>63544312

If you can dodge /tv/'s hatred, you can dodge a ball!
>>
It was a comfy/funny movie without the nasty degeneracy of most modern comedies. I don't get the hate of it.

Sounds about right
>>
>>63545907

nacho libre is not nearly as good as Napoleon dynamite though
>>
>>63546215
How did I forget about this scene?

Top black comedy
>>
BOW TO YOUR SENSEI
>>
This movie was made by a Mormon. Napoleon's family is Mormon.
>>
>you now realise your average fa/tv/irgin was that annoying kid in school who constantly quoted movies and thought he was funny
>>
>>63543752
Because it was so unique
>>
Tina, you fat lard, come get some dinner!
>>
>>63547444
And Mormons are either the most boring people ever or fucking hilarious.
>>
>>63547444
So it is the 2nd greatest piece of Mormon fiction, behind The Book of Mormon.

>But my lips hurt real bad!

>She has... sandy, sandy blonde hair... pretty good face. I'm just getting really TO`ed she hasn't sent a full bodyshot yet...
