Dodging Balls

Ben stiller is known to be a part of multiple hit comedies such as Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, Zoolander and his short yet impactful role in Anchorman. But one cannot forget one of my personal favourites, Dodge Ball. This movie was one of the very first comedies I ever saw and it has stuck with me since. The reason i watched it was because i foud the catch phrase "Grab Life By the balls" halarious. But by far the most memorable part for me is the quote “if you can dodge a car you can dodge a ball”. Every time I enjoy a game of dodge ball this quote always pops into my head. But of course the second thought would be the five D’s of dodge ball, a life lesson that every child should be taught.  The simplicity is what makes these five or four rules (depending on how you look at them) work so well “Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge”.

  1. That movie is so funny! I used to watch it religiously as a kid too. I couldn't stop laughing when they'd get wrenches thrown at them. A true classic.

  3. I love that movie! Some of the best quotes in the world come from that movie, and the best dodgeball players treat that movie like a bible.
