New Hampshire's man, Adam Sandler, is arguably the biggest celebrity in the world.

He just won the People's Icon Award, was recently named Forbes' highest-paid actor for 2023, and is likely one of the most recognized celebrities with his casual athleisure attire.

We know he is funny. We know he is a talented actor. But now, many are thinking Sandler is far smarter than he lets on.

The Sandlerverse is a new conspiracy theory that links a bunch of Adam Sandler's greatest movies together. People are speculating that all of his movies are connected.

Yes, the Sandman often uses his friends in multiple movies, including Steve Buscemi, Rob Schneider, and David Spade.

I know what you are thinking, "So what?" Just because we see the actor who plays Crazy Eyes (shoutout to Mr. Deeds) in many movies, doesn't mean there's anything special.

I would agree. However, seeing the same character in the same costume appear in multiple movies makes you scratch your head.

And this is where the Sanderverse is born:

I have to say that once I heard this, I thought it was a stretch. Then I discovered MANY examples of the same character appearing in multiple Sandler movies.

Let's start with the death of Mr. Chubbs. Carl Weathers plays Mr. Chubbs in Happy Gilmore in 1996. He dies in the movie. Carl Weathers also plays "Chubbs" in Little Nicky, released four years later, where he is dead in the movie.

Same guy, same name, consistent in death.

In two of Adam Sandler's movies, Rob Schneider plays the same character with the same outfit.

You can see him as the delivery man in Big Daddy (1999) and again as a delivery man in Mr. Deeds (2002).

Ben Stiller does the same thing.

In 1996, Ben Stiller is the creepy nurse who takes care of Happy Gilmore's grandma. He is seen again as a creepy nurse at a retirement home in Hubie Halloween 24 years later.

Same character, same role, same outfit, same mustache.

One of the most obvious is Rob Schneider in three of Adam Sandler's movies. He plays the same character with the same line (you know it):

"You can do it"

Waterboy (1998), Little Nicky (2000), and Longest Yard (2005). All the same guy with the same line.

Finally, I did not catch this one, even though it is SO obvious.

Happy Gilmore's caddy in 1996 is the same character playing the same role 18 years later in Jack and Jill.

I'll say it, the Sandlerverse is real.
