You can’t deny these 10 funny moments from Happy Gilmore 2 can make you laugh out loud

Happy Gilmore 2 is one of the latest releases on Netflix. Although the film includes a sturdy narrative thread and some engaging roles, the laughs truly drive its popularity. Adam Sandler tries to maintain his strong Netflix momentum with this sequel movie. You can say it’s a nostalgic sequel to one of his most celebrated and cherished roles.

Happy Gilmore, the prequel, tells the story of a diehard hockey fan who enters a golf competition after realizing that he has a surprising skill for golf, not for hockey. Often praised as one of Adam Sandler’s finest humorous performances, even after that, it’s quite unexpected that a sequel takes this long to materialize. Because you know Hollywood’s tendency, they just squeeze every drop out of a very profitable saga.

Happy Gilmore 2 follows in the footsteps of the original movie, offering laughs throughout the film, which somehow compensate for some questionable story elements. Here are 10 funny moments from Happy Gilmore 2 that can make you laugh out loud.

Happy’s flask collection reveal

Starting with a cucumber during his shift at a supermarket, the joke includes a paper dispenser and even a golf ball. The secret flask motive is the most brilliant running joke of Happy Gilmore 2, escalating from modest beginnings to absolute madness. Happy’s infamous struggle to keep himself always hydrated reaches peak silliness when his daughter Ellie finds his alcohol flasks throughout the house. Included are a golf-cleaning tool, a TV remote, a lamp pedestal, and—wait, there’s more—even Grandma’s cuckoo clock, now chiming with a watery flourish.

It’s vintage Sandler absurdity, fusing dry humor with outrageous mayhem, the exact formula that turned the original movie into a fan favorite. And his nonchalant reply that it’s kind of his backup amplifies the comedic punch. Through this moment, Happy’s deeper part of the persona reflects. This moment delivers comedic gold and a poignant reminder of Happy Gilmore 2’s unyielding themes.

Eminem’s “Jackass” cameo

Eminem is a delight to watch in this role; he handles it impressively, delivering a strong performance full of rage and hostility even amid his character’s downfall. The one and only Eminem drops in unexpectedly as Donald Jr., the son of the first film’s infamous trash talker, and he’s back to dish out more mockery.

Right in the dramatic golf shot, he blurts a wonderfully childish “Jackass” at Happy, a spot-on nod to the original. There is ridiculous hilarity in this scene in Happy Gilmore 2. This moment showcases sequel excellence at its finest.

Just as Eminem starts to revel in his heckling heritage, Happy’s sons, who’ve clearly inherited their dad’s wild streak, rush in and take him down on the course. In the blink of an eye, Donald Jr. ends up flying into a lake full of alligators, and the best part is his reaction, a dull poker face, like, whatever, it doesn’t even bother him. A full dose of Happy Gilmore 2 ridiculousness, exaggerated, overblown, and downright hilarious.

Hal L.’s “Alkie” support group

Ben Stiller’s fantastically unstable Hal L. provides one of Happy Gilmore 2’s most unexpected and side-splitting moments. Somehow making a comeback, this time heading a sobriety-themed group that’s as bizarre and messed up as expected. It’s definitely not your typical AA meeting. Hal rolls his eyes when Happy uses the term “alcoholic” because, according to him, that’s too scientific, as they are not scientists.

With a cocky smile, he just announces that “We are not scientists. We are Alkies,” as if he’s invented something groundbreaking. His new position in Happy Gilmore 2 manages to top the sheer madness of the old folks’ home dictatorship. He’s guiding the group with sugary sarcasm, and he includes an enforced knitting hour, where a hesitant Happy clumsily crafts a scarf. The entire scenario, featuring Hal’s pompous vibe to his bizarre inspirational rants, is a highlight of Happy Gilmore 2’s comedy. This moment mixes nostalgic personality madness with new, unconventional comedy.

Steve Buscemi’s mailbox peeing

While Happy leaves behind his wild neighborhood home, Pat bids an affectionate adieu by shamelessly peeing on the mailbox. Steve Buscemi delivers one of Happy Gilmore 2's most wonderfully strange scenes, fully embracing the madness as Happy’s mentally unstable neighbor, Pat. He, ever relaxed, hoses down the mailbox like it’s part of the landscaping, beaming at Happy like everything is completely routine.

It’s a split-second highlight of eccentric comedy, and the clash between Buscemi’s hilarious expression and his absurd actions hits with spot-on Happy Gilmore 2 rhythm. A mix of creepy and charming, Pat’s final scene highlights how, in Happy Gilmore 2, even the supporting cast steals the spotlight, typically while delivering visuals you won’t soon forget.

Shooter McGavin’s parole hearing meltdown

The moment we catch up with Shooter McGavin again in Happy Gilmore 2, while he’s facing a parole panel. Turns out he’s been in a facility for 29 years, thanks to a string of infractions that all took place during the plot of the initial film. Gilmore’s name triggers a sudden breakdown in McGavin’s previously cool presence. That’s the trigger; just one name sets him off. In a flash, the shooter shifts from composed to completely unhinged, flipping tables like a man possessed.

Eyes blazing and foam at the corner of his mouth, he explodes into a chaotic monologue that’s equal parts pathetic and comical. He pins all his misfortunes on Happy, including his confinement and the apparent collapse of the golf course culture. He rants that because of Happy, only he has stayed in that hell. Security steps in to defuse the situation, but Shooter is lost to the madness, ranting wildly about compassionate clubs and how his future was hijacked by a guy from the rink. A blast of retro hilarity that perfectly captures the outrageous energy of the movie.

Esteban’s golf ball sacrifice

Esteban’s golf ball sacrifice is one of those gloriously dumb moments that makes you laugh way harder than you’d expect. You simply can’t deny the comedy gold of a man willingly becoming a human target, all for fifty bucks. That’s right, Esteban, the overly eager caddy-turned-golf-ball-dummy, volunteers to let a lineup of pros take their best shots at him with zero hesitation and a big, goofy grin.

What follows is a gloriously unhinged montage of Esteban being walloped from every angle, limbs flailing and teeth rattling, but always bouncing back up with a thumbs-up and a dazed smile. His cheerful masochism is hilariously over the top, like if a cartoon crash test dummy had dreams of PGA glory. But it’s not over yet. Just when you think Esteban’s suffered enough, along comes Happy Gilmore with a “motivational” hockey-style punch that sends Esteban flying into a bush. It’s moments like this that prove this movie isn’t afraid to go big, silly, and side-splitting.

Happy’s happy life imagination

Struggling with grief and clearly not doing great, Happy tries to cope the only way he knows how: by escaping into that bizarre corner of his brain where logic takes a backseat to Sandler-style nonsense.

What does healing look like for him? Apparently, sitting on a toilet, scrolling through his phone, while his late wife, Virginia—yes, the one who passed—cheered him on in full-blown lingerie like it was the Super Bowl halftime show. Toss in a random dancing alligator for good measure because this comedy movie doesn’t do subtle, and you’ve got a scene that’s equal parts head-scratching and gut-busting. It’s peak Sandler silliness, awkward, over-the-top, and somehow still kind of sweet in its own weird way.

The nursing home lady in the cemetery

You can’t deny it; this film knows how to sneak in a laugh even in the most ridiculous places, and nowhere is that clearer than the cemetery brawl between Happy and Shooter. It starts as a wildly inappropriate fistfight among gravestones honoring legends like Bob Barker, Chubbs, and Grandma Gilmore, because of course it does.

As the dust settles, a muffled scream erupts from one of the graves. “Get me outta here, you jackass!” It’s unmistakably the nursing home lady from the first film, the same one who tormented Grandma with her creepy smile and love for knitting and pain. The implication? She’s been buried alive. Happy shoots a confused glance at the tombstone, shrugs, and mumbles something about deja vu before walking off like nothing happened. It’s pitch-black comedy wrapped in the silliest of deliveries, and it lands perfectly.

Saved by the Bell mix-up

In the middle of a chaotic tournament scene, where etiquette is optional and sanity left the course ages ago, a wild-eyed, chainsaw-wielding golfer named Maxi makes his grand entrance. He’s unshaven, unhinged, and clearly not PGA-approved. But none of that matters to the group of overly enthusiastic fans nearby, who somehow mistake him for Saved by the Bell’s lovable nerd, Screech.

Maxi, holding a chainsaw and wearing a visor that looks like it's eaten three squirrels, grins and waves like he is Dustin Diamond reincarnated. The random 90s sitcom reference, the clueless cheering, and the total lack of logic deliver an absurd, laugh-out-loud punch line that comes out of nowhere and hits just right.

Psychiatric ward jailbreak

After Happy’s chaotic, barely legal tournament win, complete with broken clubs and broken laws, you'd think the madness would settle. But nope. Just as the crowd cheers and confetti falls, the camera cuts to the psychiatric facility where Shooter McGavin’s been stewing in rage and pudding cups for years.

Out of nowhere, the warden announces. It’s random, loud, and makes absolutely no sense, and that’s exactly why it works. This unexpected, over-the-top gag caps Happy Gilmore 2 with the kind of ridiculous hilarity only Sandler can serve. It’s a full-circle moment of joyful chaos, a nod to the film’s love for lovable weirdos and off-the-wall surprises. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Happy Gilmore 2 swings one last time and lands the laugh.
