15 Years Ago, Average Joe's Gym Defeated The Globo Gym Purple Cobras In Las Vegas

'Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story' is 15 years old today and I officially feel older than ever before.

If you haven't had the pleasure of watching this 2004 classic then let me tell you about the story of how 'Average Joe's Gym' did a Leicester City by winning against all odds.

Sit back, relax and let the memories flow.

Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn are rival gym owners who eventually compete against each other in a Las Vegas Dodgeball tournament.

Stiller, who plays the brilliantly crude character White Goodman, has some of the biggest talents in Dodgeball on his 'Globo Gym' team, including Fran 'Monobrow' Stalinovskovichdavidovitchsky.

Peter LaFleur, on the other hand, hasn't exactly got the most athletic bunch at his disposal.

But he is determined to defeat their rivals and will go to extremes to win.

In the story, 'Average Joe's Gym' are on the verge of closing and need $50,000 to remain active, so what better way to raise the funds by entering the Champions League of Dodgeball tournaments in Vegas.

They manage to get through to the final, thanks to iconic performances from Kate Veach, Gordon and Steve the Pirate.

Then they combine to produce this incredible team effort. Take it away, guys:

Can we please, please, please have a Dodgeball 2?

I mean, it has been 15 years and we really need our fix. Cheers.
