“Is that where you got that sound from” - jen. Dude. Im dead. Its fun when you find where someones daily humor comes from. Adam sandler shaped a generation. All his movies have a low key plot thats usually about “be a good person”.

[@trouari7825]

Im 37 and Adam Sandler, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, and Chris farley made my sense of humor what it is today. I'd be dead inside without these comedians.

I feel like Jenn secretly relates to Bobby's mom too well lol

More like Bubble Boy's mom. Over protective, sheltering, babying, but at the same time had the past that would make Satan nervous.

Kathy Bates was parodying herself here too. Playing a psycho, in Stephen King's book directed by Rob Reiner's Misery (1990).

[@ChrisWake]

Captain Insano laughing until genuinely crying is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

[@WilliamMorefield]

Wedding Singer! Sandler must watch!

[@Jaserocks2]

My fav

[@JonathanHoward-v3i]

Best Adam Sandler movie, period.

[@TypicalSamson]

if you and jen haven't watched 50 First Dates I highly recommend it. Probably my favorite Adam Sandler movie. Sandler and Drew Barrymore have perfect chemistry together.

[@robertlew3577]

Star Wars fans flocked to watch The Waterboy in theaters because it was the first film the The Phantom Menace trailer was attached to. The trailer was available to watch earlier in the week on the internet, but seeing it on a big screen was the way to go. I remember going with a huge bunch of friends and the theater almost cleared out after the Episode 1 trailer finished running.

[@HoldenHardman]

I didn't know that, what a cool piece of trivia!

[@crombajaa]

Love this movie. The amazing actress Kathy Bates said when she first read a few pages of the script and said it was stupid, she threw the script into the trash. She did not know who Sandler was, even though he was a big star by then. But then later one of her family members saw the pages in the trash and read Aam Sandler was in it and pleaded with Kathy Bates to do this film. So, she agreed and it was a box office success!

[@EthansDad26]

Mr. Hardman…thank you for this. This is on my top 5 favorite movies of all time man! “Dear Helen…who’s Helen?….”That’s my first name Bobby” lol

[@okumabear]

If Jen loved Fairuza Balk in this, then the two of you HAVE to see The Craft!

[@R0bbathehutt]

Great movie!

[@reel912films9]

High Quality H2O is my favorite line from this movie 😂 every now and then I still quote it

[@russcarvertruthjedi259]

This reaction shows just how special Jen really is. Her response to Vicky is what makes her special. Jen is a patriot and is tough as nails, but she is also sensitive, giving and compassionate. She recognized the Vicky was not a bad person, she just would do anything to protect those she loves. And she recognized the good in Bobby Boucher, and realized that he was much smarter than anyone gave him credit for. Good job. Jen! If you guys haven't seen it, bridesmaids is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Paul is pretty funny as well. My favorite rom-com is return to me. It's a drama and comedy. It has David duchovny, mini driver, Carroll O'Connor, Ray Logia, James Belushi and Bonnie Hunt. Bonnie Hunt directed it as well. I don't want to ruin it for you so I'm not going to tell you what it's about, but it is a brilliant movie.

[@jeffnewman3942]

"We suck again!" Is a staple every time my buddies and I hit the golf course

[@hughfuller8416]

[@ckmoore101]

So funny that Jen pointed out Jimmy Johnson as the Dolphins coach...... lol Its akin to pointing out Michael Jordan as the Wizards player

[@hillardschlachman6610]

The bald guy you said was in The Grinch is Ron Howard's Brother Clint . He has over 200 acting credits like Apollo 13 and many TV series like My Name Is Earl and a few roles in the Star Trek franchise .

[@vincegamer]

You beat me to it. Clint Howard has an incredible acting career from Star Trek as a toddler, to the ice cream man horror franchise to Austin Powers and this

[@CrossOutBryce]

This is the first Adam Sandler movie ever saw as a kid. To this day, It's been over 20 years since but my whole family still quotes it 😂

[@namecomingsoon9517]

I appreciate what you are showing us right now Holden

[@HoldenHardman]

[@Casket_13]

I remember rewinding and watching the scene where sanders gets hit by the baseball till I cried! I’m glad to see you guys laughed so hard at that😂😂😂

[@jacquestuan]

The moment when Colonel Sanders gets hit with the baseball NEVER gets old!! 🤣🤣🤣 Plus, Jen's reaction of Bobby's first tackle was priceless!!

[@kenny240]

This movie will always hold a special place in my heart. When my brother passed away in 2017, we had to go through his stuff, including his computer. Looking in his browser history to help with the investigation, we found that this was the last thing he did the night he passed away, was watch this movie. It always brings me some comfort knowing that one of the last things he did was laugh.

[@JustinBrehm]

So great watching other people's reactions and there are so many 80s 90s and 2000 movies to rewatch that was great and they don't hold the same impact as❤ new movies

[@beetusg8853]

This and Billy Maddison are among my most quoted movies

[@Echo4Bravo]

When Peter Dante says "Who Dat? Who Dare?" Just after stacked. That's the best cajun accent.

[@2droidz12]

A personal favorite. Can't wait to see what Jen thinks.

[@Titans17-0]

My favorite line in this movie is from his mom talking to the coach at dinner “back in 1966, pick up sticks”😂

[@SammyRebbo]

I've seen this movie countless times since it released and I didn't know until either 2024 or 2023 when I learned the coach is The Fonz.... I love this movie and I'm glad Jen got to watch it and I know Holden will enjoy this movie every time he watches it!

[@josephstaggs4545]

My favorite part is also Col Sanders getting hit and making that noise lol. In High School my cousin and I would record our favorite scenes on our flip phones and watch them later lol

[@kmt749]

Please watch the wedding singer, 50 first dates and blended. All 3 starring ad sandler and drew Barrymore they are so good especially 50 first dates one of my favourite films of all time

I am so glad you two are laughing at the EHHH from Colonal Sanders. That ALWAYS gets me lmfao!!!!

[@jakegittes1864]

Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy, and The Waterboy are all Adam Sandler’s best comedies imo.

[@thereg23]

the scene with the baseball hitting colonel sanders is so damn funny... I remember being a kid and watching this on VHS with my mom when I was home sick from school... we must have rewound and watched that clip at least 15 times...still to this day we laugh about it.

[@scottywhite3213]

Being from Louisiana, this movie is close to my heart. Like Holden, it’s nostalgic from my high school days. Farmer Fran is incredible comedy relief even if he portrays our “Swamp people” slightly off from true Cajun French (though it is close).

[@paulsapp5573]

It was fun watching Jen connect with the "did someone hurt you?" cleaver scene

[@vehemon]

19:25, that's Ron Howard's brother, Clint Howard. He was in Apollo 11, and a BUNCH of movies as an extra. Literally should be called Mr. Extra. He's amazing.

[@BottomDollarOutdoors]

My favorite movie of all time! I was the only movie my dad had ever taken me to see as a child. I've watched this movie hundreds of times over the years.

[@4191Andrew]

I used to rent this movie for a dollar on VHS just specifically to watch the baseball throw over. and over. and over. and over. and over again.Giggling maniachly. Amazing.

[@humanoid251]

This, Happy Gilmore, and The Longest Yard are my favorite Adam Sandler movies. Murder Mystery is also a good one that I haven’t seen get talked about. It’s pretty recent but really fun

[@johnhuffines5553]

26 years later and i still laugh as hard as Holden did at the professor getting hit by Coach Kline every time i watch it. Never gets old

The sound Professor Colonel Sanders makes when he gets hit in the head is the best part! 😂😂

[@theguardian2428]

Gotta start that Adam Sandler. Gotta see You Dont Mess with the Zohan!

[@_Dunk]

2 things… First-craziest part of this whole video is when Holden mentions that he’s only 31. I don’t know why, but I thought he was older. Second-when Holden was wheezing about the guy getting hit in the head. It reminded me of John Lovitz character in Little Nicky(Another Sandler Flick)

[@XghostXfaceX2]

Jerry Reed who plays the Bully Coach was in Smokey and the Bandit. He is also a talented singer.

[@kenjohns1982]

This was my wife and mine's first date movie. Been together for nearly 26 years. It started with a laugh and we are still laughing together.

[@benweaver3267]

I honestly did not see Holden as a Waterboy (or sports movies in general) type of guy. The respect has only grown stronger 😎

[@Chris_Moranec]

This was the third movie I saw in movie theaters. After the Lion King, and Toy Story. My best friend’s mom dropped me and him off to see this for his birthday. I’d have to recommend “The Wedding Singer” for you guys. Adam Sandler & Drew Barrymore movie that came out earlier the same year as Waterboy.

[@skylerd]

As a music nerd i have to bring attention to the fact Jerry Reed is a country music legend of singing and guitar playing, and appeared as himself in some scooby doo episodes as well as many other movies like Smokey and the bandit

[@ravevolution]

One of my coworkers and I are always quoting this movie, sometimes over our radios which gets us in a bit of trouble at times 🤣 If you haven't done so, a couple other good Adam Sandler comedies to watch are Happy Gilmore and Little Nicky. And if you pay attention Rob Schneider's character "Townie" in The Waterboy makes a appearance in one of those movies 😉

[@drivers99]

19:20 Ron Howard’s brother, Clint Howard. He’s in a ton of stuff but Apollo 13 is what I remember

[@TheBloobster]

What I learned from this reaction is the funniest thing in the world to Holden is funny noises

[@ThePharaz]

Clint Howard brother of Ron Howard. I remember him from the 60s in The Andy Griffith Show, Star Trek, and Gentle Ben. He's frequently in movies Ron Howard is involved in. Waterboy, Coneheads, Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, The Animal, The Hot Chick, Anger Management, 50 First Dates, Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, and Click. There are a good number of others but these are the ones that stand out in my mind.

[@Staley38]

Adam Sandler graduated from my high school 😁Central High School Manchester, NH he actually wears our school shirt in Big Daddy.

[@auslandermercury972]

I've scratched Hardlex on one of my Seiko 5s. I will concede that Hardlex is tough, and it's tough in a different way than sapphire is. I think today, in 2024, the biggest complaint about the use of Hardlex in any Seiko watches is that sapphire can now be found on many sub-$100 watches. Using Hardlex instead of sapphire as a cost-cutting choice just doesn't make sense anymore.
