Line 7:
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Inspirational sports movies.
* [[Analogy Backfire]]:
{{quote| '''Cain:''' But until we allow teams to move cities and players to change teams, and take advantage of lucrative corporate tie-ins, I'm afraid you and your colleagues are gonna have to continue working for... (Cain reaches down where a chicken is eating some feed)<br />
'''Coop:''' (looks at Cain's hand) Chicken poo?<br />
'''Cain:''' Ugh! Feed. Chicken feed. }}
* [[Arc Words]]:
{{quote| '''Coop:''' ''One day, I'm gonna be a big sports star!''}}
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]:
{{quote| ''"Continued expansion diluted the talent pool, forcing [sports team] owners to recruit heavily from forcing prisons, mental institutions, and [[Place Worse Than Death|Texas]]"''.}}
* [[Ask a Stupid Question]]: Denslow's will involves an obviously rhetorical question, ''to which Coop responds.''
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: Remer
Line 19:
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Many of the psyche-outs require lots of planning, and even some props. Each psyche-out can be used only once, or it loses its shock value.
* [[Both Sides Have a Point]]: Played with between Coop's control over the NBL and Remer wanting more from this.
{{quote| '''Remer''' Dude, quit thinking about yourself for a change!<br />
'''Coop''' Dude, I'm not gonna cave in! End of story, dude!<br />
'''Remer''': Duuude??<br />
'''Coop''': Dude!<br />
'''Remer''': Dude!!<br />
'''Coop''': Dude.<br />
'''Remer''': Dude!<br />
'''Coop''': DUDE!<br />
'''Remer''': DUDE!! (Coop is aghast) ''Dude.''<br />
'''Coop''': (speechless) I guess you got a point there. }}
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]:
{{quote| '''Coop:''' ''He goes home, does some push-ups, fucks the sleeve of his favorite jacket...''<br />
'''Jenna:''' ''WHAT?!'' }}
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Poor Squeak.
* [[Chekhov's Gag]]:
{{quote| ''"Hey, I heard your (female relative)'s going out with Squeak!"''}}
* [[Chew Toy]]: Squeak, again.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Remer
* [[Coincidental Broadcast]]: Coop listening to the radio:
{{quote| ''Look out ahead, there's a truck changing lanes<br />
And you've got some yellow crumbs on your upper lip...'' }}
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Joey's first wishes include big game hunting a bald eagle or a giant panda, before choosing ''poisoning a reservoir and throwing flesh-eating fish into a public swimming pool.''
Line 50:
* [[Fingore]]: One psych-out has Coop flip off the opposing player, slowly creep a pair of wire-cutters towards his finger and tear it off. It's a fake, but still...
* [[Freudian Slippery Slope]]: Jenna after seeing Coop and Remer naked in the locker room.
{{quote| This is going to be the end of the foundation; it's not endowed like- ([[Beat]]) well, like- [...] Enough! Look at yourselves! You're just typical men with humongous... ''egos''. You're like every other pro-athlete, I should have kept those kids away from you, now their little lives are ruined and all you can do is argue over who is the bigger penis- ''[[Verbal Backspace|I mean child]]''. (sigh) Long wanger. (gasp) Throbbing cock. (screams)}}
* [[Full-Name Basis]]: "Victoria Silvstedt, [[Playboy|Playmate of the Year]]!"
* [[Funny Background Event]]: The movie is ''full'' of them.
Line 57:
* [[Hero Worshipper]]: Coop is one to Reggie Jackson. In turn, Joey is to Coop.
* [[If I Had a Nickel]]:
{{quote| ''"If I had a nickel for every time this ball's gotten me out of a tight spot, I'd have a shitload of nickels!"''}}
* [[Instant Sedation]]: For one of his psych-outs Remer plays a droning, monotonous book-on-tape in a player's ear, lulling him to sleep in seconds.
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Coop ([[Trey Parker]]) to Remer ([[Matt Stone]]):
{{quote| ''"Oh, now you're such a big shot, you're gonna act in a Hollywood movie? Fuckin' sellout."'' (awkward pause)}}
* [[Littlest Cancer Patient]]: Joey.
* [[Meaningful Echo]]: The Beers win the final championship game using the exact same play that they won the backyard league championship with at the beginning, complete with identical commentating from the announcers.
* [[Moment Killer]]: Remer barges into Coop's apartment in [[Seinfeld|Kramer]] fashion just as he and Jenna are about to kiss.
* [[Never My Fault]]: Remer blames the entire mess on Coop because he wouldn't share control of the NBL and for saying no to Cain's first proposition (thus forcing Cain to take drastic measures in order to change Coop's mind). When Jenna comes down to tell them they've destroyed her foundation, Remer quickly pins the blame on Coop.
{{quote| '''Coop:''' Jenna, I can explain...<br />
'''Remer:''' Yes, it was his fault.<br />
''(Jenna leaves)''<br />
'''Remer:''' You gotta believe me, it's all Coop's fault! }}
* [[Opposing Sports Team]]: The Dallas Felons.
Line 79:
** The salute Coop, Remer and Squeak give at the end was copied from a touchdown celebration ("The Mile High Salute") the Denver Broncos were known for at the time.
** ''[[Star Trek]]'' jokes during the second hospital scene.
{{quote| '''Coop''': Dammit, man! I'm trying to save an innocent life!<br />
'''Remer''': I'm giving her all she's got, Captain! }}
* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]]: For some reason, everyone but Baxter thinks that Shaq got rich playing in college.
{{quote| ''Did I just fart?''}}
* [[Stunt Double]]: Remer has one.
* [[Suspiciously Apropos Music]]: "Warts on Your Dick"
Line 90:
* [[Troll]]: The object of a psych-out is to make your opponent miss his shot without physical interference, so most people take this route. Coop and Remer are masters, employing everything from the conventional [[Trash Talk]] to fake self-mutilation and books-on-tape.
* [[Un Entendre]]: Yvette, being a trophy wife, frequently mistakes Baxter's unconventional requests as sexual come-ons:
{{quote| '''Baxter''': But you know, my (glances at groin) lobby could use a good buffing, ''if you know what I mean.''<br />
'''Yvette''': I know exactly what you mean.<br />
(Cut to Yvette struggling to use a janitor's buffer in the lobby) }}
* [[Video Wills]]: How Denslow leaves the team to Coop.
