The gang is back with another Trey Parker and Matt Stone masterpiece. Well in this case, a box office flop. BASEketball! The film is about the sport of BASEketball, a hybrid sport combining baseball and basketball that was invented by Zucker in the 1980s. Parker and Stone play childhood friends who invent the game as something they could win against more athletic types. The sport becomes an overnight sensation and a target of corporate sponsorship.
This is the only work involving Parker and Stone that was neither written, directed, nor produced by them. The film was a box office disappointment and received mixed critical reviews.
BASEketball is credited with coining the Internet slang term "derp".
The movie has characters Coop and Doug who are slackers, attending a party and trying to hit on hot chicks, but they accidentally invent a game they name, baseketball. All of a sudden, years later the sport is turn into a true professional sport. Though after the commissioner of the sport dies, the owner of the Dallas Felons tries to the change the sport.
