BASEketball (David Zucker, 1998)


This is childish humour at it's funniest. A generic, formulaic plot is peppered with laugh out loud moments that are thrown at the audience at a constant rate. This is not sophisticated humour: we are given gags about Parker and Stone's massive dicks, and Indian factory with turban shaped hard hats, Stone's general stupidity, Jenny McCarthy's oblivious sexual innuendo's and a sequence in a hospital that manages to make hysterical use of slapstick.

Oddly though, there’s no fart jokes. I know I’m a man of 25 but whichever you cut it, flatulence is still funny.

4/5
