The Waterboy

A 1998 comedy film starring Adam Sandler as Bobby Boucher, a socially awkward waterboy for a college football team who discovers he has a talent for tackling.

The film spawned the catchphrase "water sucks, Gatorade is better" and the character's distinctive Louisiana accent became widely imitated: He did his Waterboy voice at the party.
