The Greatest Game In Dodgeball History Happened 14 Years Ago

Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to burst your bubble on this fine Thursday afternoon in September but Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is 14 years old and now everyone reading this feels really, really old.

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

Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn are rival gym owners who 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 that famous monobrow, Fran 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 meantime, Average Joe's Gym is on the verge of closing and need $50,000 or they will be closed.

So what better way to raise the funds by entering the Champions League of Dodgeball tournaments in Las Vegas, USA.

Average Joe's manage to get through to the final, thanks to iconic performances from Kate Veach, Gordon and Steve the Pirate and later, 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 14 years and we really need our fix.

Thanks, Jack Kenmare from SPORTbible.
