The first go-around was so good that it earned the inaugural MTV Movie Awards for Best Fight in 1996 when Adam Sandler and Bob Barker squared off in Happy Gilmore. Almost 20 years later, the two reunited for the rematch of their epic showdown -- this time in the name of charity.
Comedy Central's annual autism benefit Night of Too Many Stars launched a video showing Sandler in Barker's hospital room to do what is basically a "public service announcement" for the benefit. Sandler is repping his jersey from Happy Gilmore and clearly jumps right into character, and the two waste little time going to war.
"We haven't spoken with each other in many years," says Sandler in the video.
"That's right, not since Happy Gilmore," said Barker. "But we know that providing schools and services for people with autism is too important."
The two fall back into old ways and begin taking awesome verbal shots at each other.
"You're looking chunkier than the soup," Barker said of Sandler's weight. "I guess doing all those movies without me took its toll."
Then, at about a minute and a half in, we get to hear the former Price Is Right host use the phrase "toss your salad." Comedic gold.
After Barker takes a fair shot at Sandler's lack of acting chops, Sandler turns things physical.
Watch the awesome back-and-forth between Sandler and Barker below. It is probably the funniest thing Sandler has been involved with in a decade, as evidenced by his success at the Razzies during that time and by the negative press that flowed from the Sony leaks at the end of last year.
At 91, Bob Barker can still take and dish out a beating.
