    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Trey Parker and Matt Stone agreed to do this film under the assumption that South Park (1997) would be canceled by the time filming began. It wasn't, so they had to attend principal photography for this project during the day and produce the TV show during the night, leaving very little time for sleep.
    • Goofs
      Early in the movie when Coop and Reimer are doing free throws at Britney's party, there is a brief glimpse of the crewmember who retrieves the basketballs on the left side of the screen. He can be seen each time Coop or Reemer make a shot.
    • 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.

    Live action 'South Park'

    Okay, so 'Baseketball' hasn't really got anything to do with the adult cult animated TV show, but it stars both its writers/creators and is basically the same sense of humour, i.e. adult. In short… if you like South Park, you should like 'Baseketball.' It's about two losers (Trey and Matt – the men behind South Park) who invent a new game which is basically a cross between basketball and baseball in their driveway.

    Before long it becomes a national pastime. As with South Park, a lot of the humour is vulgar, crude, disgusting and totally 'adult' in nature. You could be forgiven for thinking that Baseketball is nothing more than a low-brow gross-out comedy (and you may have a point!), but, also like South Park, it has its moments of satire and social commentary that raise it to more than just Trey and Matt's version of 'American Pie.'

    The jokes come thick and fast and, if you've seen Trey and Matt in action, you'll realise that they're basically playing themselves. Yes, there is some character development (believe it or not!), but the film is geared towards laughs over story and plot. And, because of this, it totally succeeds. As soon as you sit down to watch it, you'll be able to predict where exactly it's going, but don't let that put you off. So I'll end where I basically began by saying that if you like South Park (and I do!), you'll enjoy this.
