History Film / DeuceBigalow

''Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo'' (1999), directed by Mike Mitchell. Deuce Bigalow (Schneider) is a down-and-out fish tank repairman who couldn't land a date to save his life. He is called upon one day to examine an exotic fish belonging to high-class male prostitute Antoine Laconte (Creator/OdedFehr), and he determines that it is sick. Antoine asks him to stay at his house and take care of it while he is away. While he is doing so, Deuce ends up smashing the fish tank. In order to raise the money to buy a new one, he decides to masquerade as Antoine, only to find that some of his clients are a little... off-beat.

''Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo'': (2005), directed by Mike Bigelow (yes, oddly, the director shares the same first name as that of the director of the first one and the same last name as that of the character). A SerialKiller in [[FreestateAmsterdam Amsterdam]] is going around killing male prostitutes. Deuce heads there to spend some time with his pimp, T.J., from the first film, only for T.J. to end up being suspected of the murders. T.J. implores him to find the real killer by re-entering work as a gigolo and visiting former clients of those murdered, who likewise turn out to be an oddball bunch. Ironically enough, the sequel may be more famous for Creator/RogerEbert giving the flick one of the most legendary reviews of his career[[note]]Schneider tried to claim that a critic who hadn't won a Pulitzer Prize was "unqualified" to review the film - Ebert, as it turns out, ''had'' won a Pulitzer, and thus ''was'' qualified to say "Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks"[[/note]] than anything else.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[YankTheDogsChain Averted both times]] - one has a wooden leg, the other has neuroses that outdo the first movie's [[TourettesShitcockSyndrome Tourettes Girl]].

* TourettesShitcockSyndrome: One of the clients in the first film has it. So Deuce takes her to a baseball game, where everyone is already cursing anyway.
** RetroactiveRecognition: Said client is played by then-unknown Creator/AmyPoehler.

* CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: In the first film, Deuce has a misunderstanding with a bartender which results in the following masterpiece deadpan one-liner from Norm Macdonald:
-->'''Bartender''': Ahh, perhaps you don't understand. Ahh... if you don't pay me now, I'm going to uhh... take this swizzle-stick, and uhh... I'll be shoving that right up your pee-hole.

** The inspector in the second one is so sure that TJ is the culprit, he flat out ignores any and all other evidence brought to him no matter how important it may be to the case, rolls his eyes at other suspects, repeatedly demands Deuce tells him where TJ is, and when Deuce brings him what may be key evidence his response is to 'snatch it from him and throw it into a nearby trashcan'.
