Heavyweights was on yesterday and I got to watch a little bit of it for the first time in a while. Tony Perkins was a great character, and obviously White Goodman from Dodgeball was modeled after him. But White Goodman just stepped it up a notch and was an improved Tony Perkins.

*Boom "Joanie loves Chachi!!"



"That's me, taking the bull by the horns. It's how I handle business. It's a metaphor..... But that actually happened."


"There's no need to be shackled by the strictures of this employee-employer relationship. Unless you're into that sort of thing. I've got some shackles in the back. I'm just kidding. But seriously, I've got em ."


But Zoolander might be my favorite comedy of all time. Zoolander > Dodgeball. But maybe White Goodman > Derilick My Balls.

Then you have small roles like him as the orderly nurse in Happy Gilmore. Firefighter in Orange County.

Meet the Fockers, Envy, Mystery Men?

I like his A-Hole roles the best. Definitely the most quotable. And his cameos are usually money. Loved his cameo in Anchorman

From those I've seen, best Tennenbaums and funniest Zoolander.

Zoolander and then Dodgeball.

Hated him in Meet the Parents, the movie is decent but it's so cringey.

Heavyweights and its not really close. Then Zoolander, and Dodgeball.

I know it was a remake, but he was hilarious in Starsky and Hutch. Pretty funny in Tropic Thunder too.

Yeah I think starsky and hutch is pretty underrated. I actually like along came Polly pretty good too.

There can be only one answer here...

His arse hole parts are really awesome. He needs to play parts like White Goodman more often.
