History Characters / DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory

* FatalFlaw: He's more fit than Peter and the Joes, but he's much more stupid and repeatedly interferes when he really shouldn't.

--> ''White'': "I don't think I'm a lot dumber than you thought that I think that I thought I was once."

* SesquipedalianSmith: {{Inverted}}. Short first name, long last name.

* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:Right before the final game between Average Joe's and GloboGym, he's killed by a signboard falling on him with no warning.]].

!!!'''Played by:''' Chris Williams

* BullyingADragon: He's not exactly innocent in his rivalry with White Goodman, having slept with three of his female trainers and sending White a male stripper as 'congratulations.'

* NiceGuy: Peter is snarky and needs guidance sometimes, but his supportive persona makes him an effective leader.

!!Peter “Pete” [=LaFleur=]

* BullyingADragon: He’s not exactly innocent in his rivalry with White Goodman, having slept with three of his female trainers and sending White a male stripper as 'congratulations'.

* NiceGuy: Peter is snarky and needs guidance sometimes but his supportive persona makes him an effective leader.

* TheSlacker: Has not kept on his bills and the porn movies he rented are overdue. Even when he brushes his teeth in the morning he washes his mouth out with Yoo-Hoo chocolate drink.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Patches calls her male pronouns and calls her lesbian slurs like "muff diver". Dwight also insists she's a lesbian. [[spoiler:At the end, she reveals that she is actually bisexual.]]

* TheChewToy: Justin. None of the scripted dialogue could hope to be half as funny as seeing Justin Long get hit by a flying wrench. Or a ball, for that matter. Or a fat cheerleader's... pom-pom... [[spoiler:His moment came in the finals by finally catching a dodge-ball and help bring back the two main players in the game, though his chew toy status is retained after his moment was over.]]
* NiceGuy: Justin is cheerful and doesn't have a mean bone in his body even when his is being played for a fool.

** When he learns that the Joe's are entering the tournament to win the money needed to buy out the mortgage, he opts to put his own horse in the race to try and sabotage their chances, despite the Joe's having a pretty low chance of winning due to how out-of-shape and inexperienced they all are. He's entirely motivated by petty spite and it leaves him open later on.

** He then proceeds to offer Peter $100,000 to buy out Average Joe's directly, just before the final match. It doesn't occur to White that the tournament is taking place in Vegas, and thus there's a huge betting pool on the bracket. So Peter takes the money, bets it all on his team winning, and then buys out Globo Gym when they do. White simply could have done nothing the entire film, and the worst case scenario is that he simply has to put up with having Average Joe's next door. Instead, he lets his hatred for Peter cloud his judgment, and ends up losing the tournament, the gym, and his financial and physical health.

* FormerlyFat: He was this in his youth. [[spoiler: The "formerly" part gets dropped after the tournament.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: White Goodman has no pragmatic reason for following Average Joe's into the dodgeball tournament. He just wants to snatch their last chance at salvation from their hands while rubbing their failures in their faces, using his superior fitness and flunkies to do so. His decision to fire Kate ended up working against him as this cleared her up from her contractual obligation and allowed her to join Average Joe's where she was proven to be an asset to the team. By bribing Peter, White also indirectly gave Peter the ability to buy him out when Peter bet the money on himself to win the tournament. [[spoiler: He ends up losing everything by being this obsessive and petty, and could have won by just staying out of Vegas entirely]].

* OffTheWagon: He was obese as a kid and he's seen a few times treating his impulses for junk food by electrocuting himself. [[spoiler: After losing the tournament, he drowns his sorrows in junk food and becomes obese again]].

* TheDragon: To White, though as White puts it, he's his "fitness [[TheConsigliere consigliere]]".

* UglySlavicWomen: Fran from "[[{{Ruritania}} Romanovia]]" has large, bucked teeth and gaudy makeup. She does look better in the epilogue.

* TheBrute: The Purple Cobras are nothing but this with Blade, Laser and [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Blazer]] being huge, muscle bound players with virtually no lines in the movie.

[[/folder]]

* TheCheerleader: Played with; Justin is a male cheerleader and a nice guy and his cheerleader girlfriend Amber is a total sweetheart, but the (male) head cheerleader, Derek, fits the evil, manipulative head cheerleader stereotype in every way except [[GenderFlip gender]].

* TheSlacker : Has not kept on his bills and his movies he rented mostly porn are over due. Even when he brushes his teeth in the morning he washes his mouth out with Yoo-Hoo chocolate milk.

* BullyingADragon: He’s not exactly innocent in his rivalry with White Goodman, having slept with three of his female trainers and accidently sending White a male stripper.

* AmbiguouslyGay: Patches calls her male pronouns and calls her lesbian slurs like "muff diver". [[spoiler:At the end, she reveals that she is actually bisexual.]]
* AmoralAttorney: Averted, Kate falls for the lovable losers and eventually joins them.

Retired dodgeball chamption, becomes the team's instructor after seeing them compete against the Girl Scouts.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: As odd, abrasive and dumb as he is, White appears to be a genuinely talented businessman. He inherited his seed money to start up his business, but from we see Globo Gym is '' thriving'', constantly full of customers and opening up new locations.

* BullyingADragon: He’s not exactly innocent in his rivalry with White Goodman, having slept with three of his female trainers and accidently.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: As odd, abrasive and dumb as he is, White appears to be a genuinely talented businessman. He inherited his seed money to start up his business but from we see Globo Gym is '' thriving'', constantly full of customers and opening up new locations.

* EvilIsPetty: White in a nutshell. Being a multi-millionaire fitness CEO, he doesn't have much to gain from taking over a struggling small business, but seems to take perverse pleasure in taking away something that Peter loves. Similarly, he ''really'' doesn't have much reason to compete in a dodgeball tournament, but only enters to sabotage Peter's one chance at saving his gym. He also threw a ball at Kate's face despite her being off-court, [[GreenEyedMonster for taking a hit meant for Peter]].

* '80sHair: His mullet is a classic invoked example, along with his horseshoe moustache.
* AbohorrentAdmirer: He's this to Kate.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: As odd abrasive and dumb as he is White appears to be a genuinely talented businessman. He inherited his seed money to start up his business but from we see Globo Gym is '' thriving'', constantly full of customers and opening up new locations.

* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:White]]. It is with a dodgeball, mind, but it was right in the face out of anger, and it was an illegal hit because she had already been eliminated.

* TheDragon: White's bodyguard and adviser.

* BigOlUnibrow: Pretty much her defining characteristic.
