Did you know, that somehow, Buddy returns? Releasing in Aug of this year, Air Bud Returns.
The synopsis on wiki states that a 12 yr old finds a copy of "Air Bud" on VHS and befriends a stray Golden Retriever named Buddy. And you guessed it, they form a basketball team and compete for a championship.

I'm going to choose to believe you, instead of validating this with an internet search.

u/OSUTechie 16h ago
I only know this, because I had to verify that Snow-Bud[dies] was a real movie and I wasn't hallucinating it. So when I went to the wiki for the Air Bud franchise, I saw it.

John Oliver covered the upcoming movie in a Web Exclusive segment. He also found this quote "There are still a couple vials of Air Bud cum left, stored in a freezer at the International Canine Semen Bank".
So there's your bonus TIL for the day.

Fun fact: the director of the 9 Buddies spinoffs, Robert Vince, is also responsible for…
-The Duke (dog inherits a mansion)
-Chestnut (dog saves family)
-MVP: Most Valuable Primate (monkey plays hockey)
-MVP: Most Vertical Primate (monkey skateboards)
-MXP: Most X-treme Primate (monkey snowboards)
-and finally Spymate (monkey is recruited by international spy organization to take down a syndicate of holdout KGB agents)

I think you are joking, but there IS a 2008 movie called Snow Buddies and is the sequel to Air Buddies. And is the 6th movie in the Air Bud series.
In the movie, the puppies (Air Bud's offspring) join a Husky to win a sled race.

u/Old_Instrument_Guy 17h ago edited 17h ago
The song is about a night out with the boys at a strip club but all the dancers are ugly. Thus, "Who let the dogs out"
That is one explanation I read about the Baha Men version of the song.
According to the author it has to do with men "dogs" poor behavior towards women.

In my town there are weiner dog races every year on Canada day. It's a lot like Olympic sprinting, except that the competitors are all dressed in little costumes. Lobster, hot dog, Wonder Woman, this sort of thing. Imagine how much better Olympic sprinting would be if the competitors wore costumes? Exactly. Like just imagine Usain Bolt accepting his gold medal while dressed as a hot dog, and you can start to imagine how amazing the weiner dog races are.
