'''Remer:''' You gotta believe me, it's all Coop's fault!\\

* FeudEpisode: Coop and Remer, [[spoiler:after they've been blackmailed and blame each other]].

'''Remer:''' You gotta believe me, it's all Coop's fault!

* FullNameBasis: "Victoria Silvstedt, [[{{Playboy}} Playmate of the Year]]!"

** [[Film/Titanic "I'm the king of the world!"]]

* RealSongThemeTune: Reel Big Fish's cover of A-Ha's "Take On Me" for the movie itself, their song "Beer" for the Milwaukee Beers.

* {{Troll}}: The object of a psych-out is to make your opponent miss his shot without physical interference, so most people take this route. Coop and Remer are masters, employing everything from the conventional TrashTalk to fake self-mutilation and books-on-tape.

This movie provides examples of:

Two losers (''SouthPark'' creators TreyParkerAndMattStone) invent a sport combining baseball and basketball, but requiring no real athletic skills. Based on an actual game created by director DavidZucker.

* AuthorCatchphrase: Early appearances of "Derp," which later appeared in ''SouthPark''

** Coop to psyche a guy who never misses uses his [[SouthPark Eric]] [[TheCastShowOff Cartman]] voice to throw him off.

* TakeThat: It's a movie by the ''SouthPark'' crew; The list could fill its own page.

* Coop to psyche a guy who never misses uses his [[SouthPark Eric]] [[TheCastShowOff Cartman]] voice to throw him off.

* GagPenis: Coop and Remer in the locker room with Jenna.

* NeverMyFault: Remer blames the entire mess on Coop because he wouldn't share control of the NBL and for saying no to Cain's first proposition (thus forcing Cain to take drastic measures in order to change Coop's mind). When Jenna comes down to tell them they've destroyed her foundation, Remer quickly pins the blame on Coop.

** StarTrek jokes during the second hospital scene.

** Also, Squeak with his admiring fan. She can't be a dude - she's got the cutest little [[DudeLooksLikeALady Adam's apple]]!

-->'''Cain:''' ''But until we allow teams to move cities and players to change teams, and take advantage of lucrative corporate tie-ins, I'm afraid you and your colleagues are gonna have to continue working for...'' (Cain reaches down where a chicken is eating some feed)
-->'''Coop:''' (looks at Cain's hand) ''Chicken poo?''
-->'''Cain:''' ''Ugh! Feed. Chicken feed.''

* AskAStupidQuestion:
-->'''Ted Denslow's ''will video'':''' ''And Coop...''
-->'''Coop:''' ''Yes, Mr. Denslow?''

-->'''Remer:''' ''Dude, quit thinking about yourself for a change!''\\
'''Coop:''' ''Dude, I'm not gonna cave in! End of story, dude!''\\
'''Remer:''' ''Duuude??''\\
'''Coop:''' ''Dude!''\\
'''Remer:''' ''Dude!!''\\
'''Coop:''' ''Dude.''\\
'''Remer:''' ''Dude!''\\
'''Coop:''' ''DUDE!''\\
'''Remer:''' ''Duude!!'' (Coop opens his mouth but says nothing. Remer continues firmly) ''Dude.''\\
'''Coop:''' (speechless, mouths around for something to say) ''I guess you got a point there.''

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Joey's a messed up little kid:
--> '''Joey:''' ''I've always dreamed of big game hunting. How about killing an endangered species? Like a bald eagle or a giant panda!''\\
'''Jenna:''' ''Well, Joey, I don't think that's really in the true spirit of the foundation.''\\
'''Joey:''' ''Well then, how about poisoning a reservoir? I know! How about throwing flesh-eating fish into a public swimming pool?''\\
'''Remer:''' ''I don't think you're quite getting the point, dude.''

* DumbBlonde: Yvette
* EntendreFailure: Yvette taking Baxter Cain's come-ons literally:
--> ''"Hey, Baxter? I finally got all the chrome off this for you."''

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike:
-->'''Cain:''' ''Do you think Shaq got rich playing in Orlando? Hardly. He made his fortune moving to L.A. You know how much he makes now?''
-->'''Remer:''' ''As much as he made playing in college?''
-->'''Cain:''' ''What? No, a lot more! Big money, and you can too.''
-->'''Remer:''' ''Would I have to quit baseketball?''
-->'''Cain:''' ''What!? No! I need you to get Coop to go along!''
-->'''Remer:''' ''He had to quit [=BASEketball=] too!?''
-->'''Cain:''' (makes a face of disbelief and walks away with a headache) ''...Ungh.''
-->'''Remer:''' ''Did I just fart?''
-->'''Cain:''' (holding his head together) ''AAAAAAAHHH!!!''
--> ...
-->'''Remer:''' ''All right, dude, listen to me carefully. Do you think Shaq got rich playing in Orlando?''
-->'''Coop:''' ''No, he got rich playing in college. Everyone knows that.''
-->...
-->'''Yvette:''' (taken a burned autograph Ty Cobb bat out of the fireplace) ''Baxter, who's Ty Cobb?''
-->'''Cain:''' ''Oh my God...''
-->'''Yvette:''' ''Did I just fart?''
-->'''Cain:''' (gets a headache again) ''OGH!!''

** Actually, it seems like the reverse - as if Cain is [[UnEntendre meaning the euphemistic come-ons]] in the ''literal'' sense. For example, with the "Lay some carpet" line, she was wearing a gold dress, (which is pretty impractical for such a chore), which implies that she thought he'd meant the entendre version, not the literal one.

* HoYay: [[spoiler:Coop and Remer, who even have a sloppy makeout session near the end.]]

* ShoutOut: La-Z-Boy, to Roy Hobbs' Wonderboy (a bat he carved himself from a fallen tree) in ''TheNatural''.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After infighting between Coop and Remer threatens their shot at winning the championship game, Squeak delivers one to them at halftime [[RuleOfFunny while dressed as a pineapple]].

* {{Troll}}: The object of a psych-out is to make your opponent miss his shot without physical interference, so most people take this route. Coop and Remer are masters, employing everything from the conventional TrashTalk to bleeding prop hands and books-on-tape.
