Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following is NOT an actual BASEketball team?

Answer: The New Jersey Mobsters

The New Jersey team was actually The Informants.

2. Which of the following Milwaukee Beers is left-handed?

Answer: Joe 'Coop' Cooper

Clearly shown throughout the film.

Answer: We see all of these

Doug Remer (Matt Stone) plays the book-on-tape, which puts the batter to sleep. Joe 'Coop' Cooper (Trey Parker) frightens a member of the Miami Dealers with a DEA jacket, and freaks out another player by chewing on a huge wad of aluminum foil.

Answer: Steve Perry

I have no idea why the name of the lead singer of Journey is considered distracting, but Cooper made it work on Remer. He even followed up with a rendition of the first line from 'Oh Sherrie.'

Answer: five

A title card reads 'Five Years Later' when we see Coop and Remer in uniform for the first time.

6. Coop and Remer's diminuitive sidekick is 'Squeak' Scolari. What is his real first name?

Answer: Kenny

Given all the physical damage that Squeak suffers throughout the film, one has to assume that calling him 'Kenny' is a reference to the 'South Park' character of the same name, who dies in almost every episode.

Answer: his liver

It's never said exactly what's wrong with Joey, but it's stated several times that his illness is hepatic in nature.

8. In one scene, Jenna is sitting beside Joey's hospital bed, reading aloud to him. From what book is she reading?

Answer: 'Women Who Run With the Wolves'

A typically laughable 'Oprah Book Club' selection, by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD. Hope you kept the receipt for that doctorate, Clarissa!

Answer: 'Helping O.J. find the real killer!'

The O.J. joke would have been perfectly at home in this film -- there's at least one such crack later in the film -- but Joey never mentions O.J. at all.

10. Which of the following real-life sports legends does NOT appear in 'BASEketball'?

Answer: Shaquille O'Neal

Abdul-Jabbar, no stranger to the films of director David Zucker (remember 'Airplane!'?), appears in a rather amusing cameo as part of Baxter Cain's exalted sports memorabilia room -- we even see him punching a time clock. Earnhardt has a cameo as a cab driver. Jackson, of course, is the inspiration for Coop's lifelong dream of becoming a sports legend. (He was also in 'The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!'.) O'Neal is mentioned several times, but never appears in the film.

11. Which of the following real-life sports announcers does NOT appear in 'BASEketball'?

Answer: Marv Albert

Costas and Michaels appear to be the regular announcers for Milwaukee Beers games. O'Brien is less prevalent, but presents the Beers with the coveted Denslow Cup trophy at the end of the film. No sign of Albert.

12. Trey Parker and Matt Stone manage to sneak in the voices of a few 'South Park' characters during the film. Which is NOT one of them?

Answer: Big Gay Al

Coop slips into Mr. Garrison mode when he observes, sarcastically, 'Oh, I forgot how much Doug Remer cares about kids.' Later, when it's suggested that he should 'psyche out' a portly BASEketball player by making unsavory references to his weight, Coop emulates Eric Cartman, who's not exactly svelte. Matt Stone never gets a chance in the film to do his Big Gay Al voice.

13. We see several 'special nights' at Beers Garden. Which of the following is NOT one of them?

Answer: Canned Ham Night

Given that many fans started throwing the eggs at the players on Dozen Eggs Night, it's probably best that Canned Ham Night never happened.

Answer: Christian Slater

Perhaps a bit harsh...but there's a later reference to Robert Downey, Jr. that's perhaps even more tasteless, in retrospect.

Answer: Dr. Doug Ross

Coop: 'I need those paddles that George Clooney uses!' Clooney played Doug Ross on 'ER' from 1994 to 1999, and is occasionally credited with putting 'South Park' on the map via word-of-mouth to his Hollywood friends.

Answer: Taco Bell

There's a reference shortly after Coop's line making it clear that Remer has confused hostels with hospitals, but Coop's immediate response is the Taco Bell line.

17. The actor who plays Tuttle, the feared behemoth of the L.A. Riots, appeared in an earlier sports-related comedy. What was it?

Answer: 'Necessary Roughness'

Samoan actor Peter Navy Tuiasosopo also played Manumana, the center for the Texas State University Fightin' Armadillos, in 1991's 'Necessary Roughness.'

18. The Milwaukee Beers apparently have a 'house band' for home games. What is the name of this band that plays live music for them?

Answer: Reel Big Fish

They're a real band, by the way.

19. Which of the following movies was not directly spoofed in 'BASEketball'?

Answer: 'Forrest Gump'

The whole business with Coop constructing his ball, 'La-Z-Boy' -- and losing it at a critical moment, only to have it replaced by a homemade ball from a young fan -- is lifted right out of 'The Natural.' When Coop and Remer are falling straight down on the Polypeneisan 'balance board' in the final game, Coop says to Remer, 'Remember -- hold your breath before you hit!', a clear reference to Jack's identical instruction to Rose in 'Titanic,' just before the boat finally plummets for good. Coop quotes William Wallace's 'I love ya -- always have' from 'Braveheart'...and Squeak, while being tortured by the L.A. Riots, cries out 'FREEDOM!' If there's a 'Forrest Gump' reference, I sure didn't see it.

Answer: Calcutta

Coop personally travels there to set things straight.

21. Late in the film, Coop drives a Volkswagen Beetle, presumably his own, to the airport. What color is the car?

Answer: red

That'll hurt his insurance rates. =)

22. Which of the following real-world television shows makes an appearance in 'BASEketball'?

Answer: 'Unsolved Mysteries'

Robert Stack, who appeared in 'Airplane!', spoofs his own show to tremendous comedic effect. We did see 'The Jerry Springer Show' on a TV in a bar, but never 'Geraldo.'

23. When we first see Squeak Scolari at the beginning of the film, who is his employer?

Answer: the gas company

Squeak initially shows up at Coop and Remer's house to shut off the gas, since they haven't paid their bill.

24. Which character did Joe 'Coop' Cooper NOT kiss during the film?

Answer: Yvette Denslow

Coop kisses Jenna several times. He shares a remarkably passionate kiss with Remer late in the film. He never gets anywhere near Ted Denslow's widow, Yvette (Jenny McCarthy) -- but Remer does, at the very end of the film.

25. A tough one to close it out: What was the final score of Denslow Cup V?

Answer: Beers 17, Felons 16

Coop and Remer used a rather complicated play (similar to the one we saw them use early in the film) to win the game.
