Steve Oedekerk's works aren't always the easiest to find, this page is
here to show you what videos there are out there that Oedekerk has been involved with in
some way or another. The availability of these titles is subject to change.
If all else fails, and you're desperate for a video, try an auction site.
Title: High Strung
Availablility: out of
print (***
BUT YOU CAN ORDER IT HERE!
***)
Role: Staring Role as "Thane Furrows", also wrote the film.
Description: The funniest movie ever made. Period. If you want a COMPLETELY
different movie, then check out this dark comedy. Thane Furrows basically hates everyone
and everything around him. The entire movie is a huge rant about all the little things in
life that piss us all off. You're sure to be on the floor clutching your stomach with
laughter for the duration of this movie. Jim Carey also has a small role in this film, but
Oedekerk steals the show hands down!
Title: Steve.Oedekerk.Com (aka: The O-Show)
Availability: Order it on www.steveoedekerk.com
!
Role: Star/Writer/Director
Description: A completely absurd one-man show! Oedekerk uses the internet and
computer animation as the medium for his offbeat humor. This is about as weird as it gets.
From "Old Women who can type and eat corn on the cob" to "Plane
Stalkers" to "Tollbooth Guy"... it's all hilarious and odd as can be.
Thomas Wilson and Fred Willard, co-stars in "High Strung", also make appearances
on this show! More info about it can be found on Oedekerk's site, www.steveoedekerk.com
Title: Thumb Wars
Availability: available at www.thumbtv.com !!!
Role: writer/director and plays many of the various Thumb characters
Description: Ok, if you don't think he's already lost it, check out this one!
Oedekerk was looking at his fingers one day and it just came to him... "Hmmm! That'd
be neat! Thumbs!" Well, Thumb Wars is the ultimate parody/mockery of Star Wars. A
bunch of rebel Thumbs take on Black Helmet Man and the Nail-Side of the Thumb! The
characters are hilarious as is the entire story! More Thumb films will be coming out
including, "Thumbtanic" and "WTW Thumb Wrestling"!
Title: The 1984 Los Angeles Comedy Competition
Availability: out of
print (try online auction
sites like ebay!)
Role: Stand-Up Comedian
Description: A very young Jay Leno hosts the 1984 Los Angeles Comedy Competition.
Steve Oedekerk is the first competitor and he absolutely drives the crowd bonkers. His
hilarious homemade contraptions are a sight for sore eyes (I wish the "psychic
severed head" was on this video though...). He even does a real funny rap song to
conclude his act. All the comedians are funny, but Oedekerk beats them all hands down and
we see him with his winning trophy in the end.
Title: Nothing To Lose
Availability: available pretty much anywhere! Check www.reel.com
Role: Writer/Director/Actor
Description: A great comedy starting Tim Robbins and Martin Lawrence. The two go on
a crazy adventure together with lots of physical comedy involved along the way. Oedekerk
even makes a cameo as "Security Guard Baxter", a security guard that knows how
to get down and dance like a madman with his flashlight. Absolutely a hilarious moment in
the film that any Oedekerk fan will want to see.
Title: Santa vs. The Snowman
Availability: Order it on www.steveoedekerk.com
!
Role: Writer/Director
Description: A snowman takes on Santa for the right to distribute presents to all
the children of the world. A really funny star wars type of battle goes on along with all
sorts of other goofy things. This one will probably air during the holiday seasons again.
Title: Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
Availability: available pretty much anywhere! Check www.reel.com
Role: Writer/Director
Description: A damn funny movie that most people thought wasn't as good as the
first Ace Ventura (which Oedekerk helped on as well). If everybody had seen this one
first, they would have thought it was way funnier than the original Ace. The slinky scene,
The rhino scene... it's damn funny and well worth seeing!
Title: Patch Adams
Availability: available pretty much anywhere! Check www.reel.com
Role: Writer
Description: I actually haven't seen this movie yet. Dunno why, because the people
that did see it told me it's really funny. And it had enough good reviews as well. Stars
Robin Williams as Patch Adams. I'm sure it's worth taking a look at, and I'm going to rent
it when I get some free time (hah, like that day will ever come!)
Title: Casual Sex
Availability: available pretty much anywhere! Check www.reel.com
Role: actor (small part)
Description: Never saw this one, but Oedekerk supposedly had a small part in it.
Here's the description from reel.com : "Frothy comedy about two women trying to find
committed relationships. Didn't excite critics or audiences, but may appeal to fans of
light social commentaries, those seeking film from woman's perspective." I'm sure
I'll see it someday on t.v. or something. Probably will be funny to see Oedekerk way back
then.

Title: Smart Alex (?)
Availability: unreleased?
Role: ?
Description: Ask Wild Willy Parsons. He's the only guy who knows about it cuz he
was in it. I'm going to ask Steve about it when I get the chance to find out more about
this film.
