Buddy Games Premise
The film focuses on Bob and his friends competing in a series of fun and crazy obstacle games that they called Buddy Games, meant to strengthen their bond. The film starts with yet another season of Buddy Games and Shelly winning the competitions and title for the sixth time in a row.
In the recently won game, Shelly won against Bender in the final round of a paintball competition, which led to the former behaving obnoxiously. At the same time, the celebration took place after the Buddy Games. A drunk Shelly teabags one of his friends who had passed out after having too much to drink.
This leads Bender and Shelly’s wife, Nikki, to make a plan involving shooting Shelly’s scrotum. The duo teasingly continues to make jokes about shooting Shelly’s scrotum for his egotistical behavior after he won the game for a sixth time.
Bender takes the blame for Nikki in hopes of helping Shelly’s failing marriage survive. Five years passed since the event of Shelly’s scrotum being shot, and he got admitted to a hospital for having suicidal thoughts after he lost his scrotum and his marriage with Niki failed.
Shelly now resides with his mother, who contacts Bob and asks him to resume Buddy Games to give her son hope to live life to the fullest once again.
Following the request of Shelly’s mom, Bob presents Shelly with the idea of competing in the game again, and Shelly agrees to the friendly competition games with his friends again on the condition that Bob keeps the fact that he lost his testicles a secret and doesn’t invite Bender to the competition, to which Bob agrees.
Bob contacts their mutual friends, who all eagerly agree to become a part of Buddy Games once again. Bob’s girlfriend is pissed after she learns that Bob is going to compete in Buddy Games, and she leaves after a nasty fight between the two. Meanwhile, Bender arrives at Bob’s mansion to participate in the game after finding out about it from a friend.
Bob informs Bender that he would need to pay $10,000 to participate in the game to avoid hurting his feelings. Bob also tells Bender about Shelly losing his testicles in the aftermath of the shooting incident. The group of friends travels to a scheduled cabin to participate in the Buddy Games.
Bender also arrives at the location and announces that he has managed to acquire the required participation fees after seeing her dead mother’s possession. Bender reveals to the group about Shelly losing his testicle and offers his sperm to him if he wants to conceive a child with Nikki, unaware of his marriage failing.
Bob reveals that he intentionally didn’t invite Bender to the games, and in a twist, Bender manipulates the group to let him play in the game, and the winner will walk out with a cash prize. This leads to the friends participating in several obstacle competitions like mini motorcycle races, mud crawls, water slides, etc.
After winning several of the set competitions, Bob, Bender, and Shelly make it to the final round. The trio, with their friends, celebrate reaching the final round with pina coladas that Sheely spiked using Benders; sperms. Meanwhile, a frustrated Durfy wanders in the woods before his friend encourages him not to give up on his dreams.
At the cabin, Shelly kidnaps Bender before destroying his car, and Bender reveals that it was Nikki behind shooting his scrotum. Meanwhile, on the day of the final competition, Tiffany arrives to cheer for her boyfriend.
The Buddy Games ends with Bender winning the last round and Tiffany getting rejected by Bob in favor of his friends after she proposes. The film ends with Bender kidnapping Shelly and surprising him with several prosthetic scrotums she purchased using the prize money.
