Adam Sandler celebrates 25 years of Happy Gilmore by murdering golf ball, making an Adam Sandler noise
Twenty-five years ago, the world was introduced to famed athlete Happy Gilmore—an ex-hockey player with a knack for driving golf balls really hard and yelling angry adult-baby noises when upset. Now, to mark the date when Gilmore first made himself known to the world, Adam Sandler—and a pair of his character’s enemies—have slipped back into their own roles on social media.
Sandler tweeted a video for the movie’s anniversary yesterday showing him trying out Gilmore’s slapshot swing again. “It’s been 25 years since I’ve done this,” he says, walking away from the camera. “Let’s see what happens.” He dedicates the shot to his nemesis Shooter McGavin, wallops the ball, then returns to say, “You’re dead, Shooter” and make one of those Adam Sandler laughing noises we know so well.
In response, Ben “A Warm Glass Of Shut The Hell Up” Stiller replied to threaten Grandma Gilmore as Hal, the evil nursing home caretaker.
