Unforgettable! Dodgeball Movie Characters: Ranked & More
Ever wondered what makes a movie truly unforgettable? It's the characters! And few films boast a roster as riotously memorable as Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. These aren't just comedic figures; they're icons of the underdog spirit, etching themselves into the pop culture landscape with every perfectly timed dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge!
Released in 2004, this sports comedy masterpiece delivered a team of personalities that resonated far beyond the confines of the gymnasium. From the well-meaning but hopelessly inept Peter LaFleur to the disturbingly committed White Goodman, and the gloriously unhinged Patches O'Houlihan, Dodgeball offered a masterclass in character-driven comedy. Each player, each quirk, each motivational speech (or lack thereof) contributed to a film that continues to be quoted, referenced, and re-watched with unwavering enthusiasm.
