This made me think of the Princess Bride with Andre needing a crane life to carry Cary Elwes because he couldn't bear the weight without immense pain. I'm not sure how much of it is due to more modern sports science, the sport played, or simple genetics that keeps Shaq as healthy as he is.
Andre Rene Roussimoff (I looked it up) was a few inches taller and significantly heavier. Also Andre was supposed to get hit and Shaq was supposed to not get hit. Then again I've seen Shaq run. Not so much w Andre. (Imagine being chased by someone ~3 inches taller than Shaq, and plus 100 or 150 lbs. Stop peeing and RUN)
Kelsey Gramer was the bald guy. Probably the guest thet night. Gray suit was Loren Michaels the snl producer or creator who is about as funny as a bag of wet mice but kept cameoing. Then the folks on the right were cast mates. Kelsey seeme a little too ambitious slapping and kicking will there.
Shaq always seems like he'd be the fun uncle at a family bbq. Not the uncle hogging the grill, but the uncle saying, "come here kid, I'll play you in Mario Kart. Loser has to tell your aunt she's a lovely lady." And just talk trash the entire time.
Look up him fucking w the play by play announcers n shit before/during/after the NBA games. He's passing out wet Willies n shit. And he's so damn tall he can do it out of frame while they interview players sometimes
Blue Chips, PG-13 1994: the scene with Shaq and the kids: the script just said "Shaq plays with the kids", so they just turn the camera on him with the kids and he did the rest.
Same it’s the only reason I learned Sinbad’s name. Also fruit of the loom logo is when I learned what a cornucopia was.. but apparently that doesn’t exist either

#1 "he had a funnier show than the host" says more about the host then.

I highly doubt basketball in any period was as physically punishing as pro-wrestling.
Unclescam
For sure. That said, Shaq was probably one of the most consistently attacked players in the history or the game.
FlintNorth44
I never liked Shaq and now I know why. Guy has always acted so smug but people are drawn in by his goofy personality.
FlintNorth44
Already a DV. You guys love the cult of personality.

That's the entire point of celebrities, yes. What else are they for?

Yes, this is as recent as 2025

I'm talking about guy in green and another one with braided hair.

Kelsey Grammer is a certified MAGA twat. arrogant and minimally talented.
Kroesus
He is supremely talented but other parts are very true.
leroy666
Like many TV guys, he has one schtick; its a good one, but its all hes got.

FlintNorth44
Oh, he's played with kids, alright...
AngurProne
Nice. I didn't know that and I'm not even going to look it up. The few people I've known that have met him all vouch for "big friendly giant".

Ebay link for reference only: "Shaq playing with preschool kids" https://www.ebay.com/itm/389241701300

He's tall, rich, and good looking. I'm gonna guess he got more sexy time in one year than most regular people get in their entire life.

"Shazam" was an underrated movie

Really? They took the time to put the title in quotations, and still got it wrong, yet I'm bitchy?

Not to mention using rotten tomatoes as a barometer for if something is considered good or not.

You’re probably thinking of Kazam. Shazam was a DC superhero movie. Kazaam had Shaq as a genie for a 12 year old kid.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
Both underrated

Sounds like some multiverse alternate timelime shit to me.
super3dcow
Me and my older brothers all remember watching this movie on TV when it aired and I'm continuously bothered that its supposedly doesn't exist.
nation543
You're thinking of Sinbad's movie that doesn't exist; he made a 5 minute clip just to satiate the internet but actually made things worse.

Memory is reconstructive, not reproductive. No official authentic Fruit of the Loom logo has had a cornucopia.
fartharder
Shazam was still an underrated movie
Deoxyribonucleicacidwashedgenes
I dunno man, I just can't stand Sinbad...
Mistruths
Shazam! (2019) is 90% on rotten tomatoes. Underrated and underdiscussed are not the same thing.
