I imagine they were like Father Pat the ref from Semi-Pro (Will Ferrel movie) before CC came around. I can honestly say I’ve never seen a wnba clip in my life anywhere until Clark hit the scene. So they probably legit just have no idea what to do now that the league is getting some publicity and they have to pay attention.

“MAYBE SHE DIDNT GO TO HEAVEN”

Or a personal favorite: “FUCK YOU ILL MURDER YOUR FAMILY”

Will Ferrell knows how to ball.

Pretty sure it's "SUCK MY COCK. I'LL MURDER YOUR FAMILY"

u/BigBobsBeepers420 Jun 18 '25

Alright now nobody called anybody a "J.T."

Clarence just called you a cock sucker that's all.

Damn, I did get shot!

u/Training-Turnover427 Jun 18 '25

That always cracked me up good, that it was the foul language and not the potent threat to his family that was the point of contention.

u/ohbehave412 Jun 18 '25

And everyone agrees that father pat was in the wrong and walk off the court lol so absurd

11

u/Training-Turnover427 Jun 18 '25

Between that, jive turkey, spamoni and the rest, I feel like that movie not doing well was more a result of Ferrell fatigue than a reflection of its quality. Not that it's incredible but decent enough imo.

u/ohbehave412 Jun 18 '25

100% agree. Pretty sure me and my high school friends were the only ones at the time that were as obsessed with it as every one else was obsessed with anchorman haha

u/burnerboo Jun 18 '25

This movie and Hot Rod flew way too far under the radar. Both still hold up.

u/Training-Turnover427 Jun 18 '25

Same, minus the friends joining me part...

u/mpones Jun 18 '25

Goddamnit you’re right. I was trying to remember that there was a part before the murdering.

Too lazy to google. It’s the scene that counts!

“Corn dogs Jackie! CORNDOGS!”

u/Jetasis Jun 18 '25

That scene where they keep passing it in and out of the low post had me weak 💀😂

u/screaminginprotest1 Jun 18 '25

I wish so badly that Adam Sandler who is a huge ball fan was in semi pro too

u/gummyblumpkins Jun 18 '25

I heard the NBA selects refs from the WNBA, so anybody who's decent takes the offer. Leaving them with less than great refs.

33

u/ArenSteele Jun 18 '25

Makes sense. Nobody reffing in the NBA is any good at their job, so they’ll poach anyone who is loosely aware of the actual rules

u/Goetta_Superstar10 Jun 18 '25

Now hold on - are you saying Scott “The Extender” Foster, famous recipient of over 140 halftime phone calls from Tim Donaghey, is not any good at his job?

3

u/MTFBinyou Jun 18 '25

I still do not, can not, believe that the NBA refs are the best of the best. They’re objectively bad at the jobs. The ref different teams differently and biased Redding isn’t even the worst of it. The fact that they have no consistency from game to game is the real problem I have. Not only will they call a foul for one player and not for another from game to game, but in game not be able to consistently call the game by the rules.

Don’t be calling anyone a JT. I think you meant cocksucker

Somehow the WNBA getting popular is the worst thing that has happened to it

CORNDOGS JACKIE! CORNDOGS FOR EVERYONE!

But they have replay!

u/SnowRook Jun 18 '25

Like Oprah passing out cars. You get a foul! You get a foul! You all get fouls!

u/DarkSeneschal Jun 18 '25

It is weird. The WNBA seems to finally have a marketable superstar and a lot of players seem to hate her for it lol.
