Directed by David Zucker, BASEketball is a sports comedy starring Trey Parker and Matt Stone as two friends who accidentally invent a new professional sport. Blending parody with absurd humor, the film satirizes commercialized athletics and celebrity culture. Known for its irreverent tone, it became a cult title among late-1990s comedy audiences.

For the first time on Blu-ray in the UK, from director David Zucker (Airplane!, The Naked Gun) comes hilarious sport-comedy BASEketball, starring South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

When slacker friends Joe Cooper (Parker) and Doug Remer (Stone) are challenged to a pickup basketball game against some jocks, they counter by proposing to play a game they learned called “BASEketball,” which combines basketball and baseball. In reality, they are improvising all of the rules, but somehow the sport becomes a hit. A promoter (Ernest Borgnine) forms a popular league, but after his death a rival owner (Robert Vaughn) wants to change the rules to increase profits.
