    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Trey Parker and Matt Stone agreed to do this film under the assumption by the time filming began, South Park (1997) would have already been canceled. It wasn't, and having been committed to both projects, had to attend principal photography for this project during the day and produce South Park (1997) during the night, leaving very little time for any sleep.
    • Goofs
      When Coop is trying to save Joey after his operation, he tells Remer to set the voltage to 10,000 and then 15,000. However, Remer sets it to 15,000 the first time.
    • Quotes

      Douglas "Swish" Reemer: Your bed is over here.

      [indicates a dog bed]

      Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: Dude, that is so fuckin' weak! How am I supposed to get a chick in that?

      Joseph R. Cooper: Oh, don't worry, dude. You couldn't get a chick if you had a hundred dollar bill hanging out of your zipper.

      Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: Yeah I could.

      Douglas "Swish" Reemer: No. Dude, you're a little bitch!

      Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: I am not! I don't even know why I hang out with you guys, anyway.

      Joseph R. Cooper: 'Cause you're a piece of shit.

      Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: I am not a piece of shit!

      Douglas "Swish" Reemer: Yeah, but you're a little bitch.

      Kenny "Squeak" Scolari: Goddammit! I swear if you guys rip on me 13 or 14 more times... I'm outta here!

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits have finished there is a scene where the Bob Costas and Al Michaels have a conversation consisting only of "dude", a la the make up scene between Parker and Stone. This ends with Al Michaels turning to the screen and pulling down a screen before what one would expect to be a kiss like Parker and Stone earlier in the film...
    • Alternate versions
      The VHS release features outtakes over the end credits; which are not on the DVD release.

    I LOVED this movie!
    The sick minds of the creators of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, bring you BASEketball. Yes, if you are expecting a respectful and tactful movie, don't watch it. If not, sit back and laugh until you want to cry. There are so many things that actually made me laugh out loud, which very few movies do. I loved the part when Coop is driving in the car, and that funny song comes on the radio. Robert Stack and the entire cast was hilarious in this also. I really liked the fact that they have a character named Kenny in the movie. Don't forget to watch the outtakes on this as well! Please watch this movie if there is any Sophmoric humor inside of you at all!!
