BASEketball

1998 · 103 min

A silly, joke-packed sports comedy that feels like a live-action cartoon with crude gags and an underdog spirit.

Directed by: David Zucker
Genres: Comedy
Starring: Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Dian Bachar

Tagline: Two guys invented a game... and turned the sports world upside down!
Overview: Two losers from Milwaukee, Coop and Remer, invent a new game combining basketball with the rules of baseball. When the game becomes a huge success, they, along with a billionaire's help, form the Professional Baseketball League where everyone gets the same pay and no team can change cities. When a rival owner wants to institute major rule changes, Coop and Remer's team is the only one standing in the way.
