22. The Waterboy

You know that feeling you get deep in your eardrums when Gilbert Godfried speaks? It's not exactly irritating, per se, but more like a persistent itch. No matter how funny the things are that he's saying, you can't quite rid yourself of the idea that, if he were to come to your house for dinner, you might poison him before dessert just to make that prickle go away.

Well, now slap some shoulder pads on him, give him an impenetrable stutter, and watch as he shrieks his way through 90 minutes of what are, admittedly, pretty sophomoric jokes. That's The Waterboy in a nutshell.

And still, somehow, it's hard not to root for the guy just a little bit. Maybe it's the overbearing mother, or the professional wrestler bully, or the outrageous amount of bed-wetting, but whatever it is, Bobby Boucher isn't as annoying as he should be.

Punch Level: One big, self-inflicted haymaker to my own chin, just to make his squealing go away.
