Adam Sandler delightfully reprised his Waterboy character to promote Henry Winker’s new memoir

Bobby Boucher is back … kind of!

Adam Sandler remains one of the most beloved funny people of his generation, and he broke out one of his most notable characters to wish actor Henry Winkler well on the release of his new memoir, Being Henry: The Fonz . . . and Beyond.

Sandler and Winkler famously starred alongside each other in the 1998 football comedy The Waterboy, and the former briefly reprised his role of Bobby Boucher to encourage his followers to buy Winkler’s new book.

Mama would be proud to hear Boucher’s voice again, as this is the kind of delightful throwback that makes you want to put on The Waterboy as soon as possible.

It’s hilarious to hear Sandler say Winkler’s “Mr. Coach Kline” name again after all these years, and it’s hard not to want to go get yourself the most refreshing bottle of water possible and check out Winkler’s new memoir.

Look, if this prompts Sander to play Boucher again in a Waterboy sequel, we’re all for it. Even then, this is just another wonderful reminder of why we love the Sandman so much.

Bryan Bresee wears ‘The Waterboy’ Halloween costume to Saints team meeting

Bryan Bresee was caught wearing a Halloween costume from ‘The Waterboy’ to a recent Saints team meeting. Maybe he can channel Bobby Boucher’s knack for big plays:

Now that’s funny. New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Bryan Bresee may have had to go experience some light rookie hazing at a recent team meeting — wear he was wearing a Halloween costume inspired by the Adam Sandler classic “The Waterboy,” as seen in a photo shared by his veteran teammate Malcolm Roach.

But we can’t rule out the possibility that Bresee did this of his own free will. Maybe he just felt like throwing on Bobby Boucher’s No. 9 South Central Louisiana State Mud Dogs jersey, along with a way-too-small novelty Saints helmet and old-school mustard-yellow pants while toting a pack of water bottles around the team facility? Stranger things have happened.

Times are tough for the Saints. They’ve lost four of their last five games and a lot of questions are being asked about whether the team has the leadership in place to get them out of a jam like this. But it’s good to see Bresee and his teammates aren’t dispiriting while making time for hijinks like this. He’s got a long career ahead of them and memories like this ought to be looked back on fondly. Maybe he can channel some of Boucher’s playmaking ability on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts.
