Last seen careening off a cliff after their car slipped on a banana peel, the
O’Doyles occupy an interesting place in cinema history. The b-plot antagonists of Adam Sandler’s first classic comedy
Billy Madison, the quartet of red-headed bullies gave the movie one of its most beloved running gags. Whether they’re dumping tapioca on Billy’s head, filling his locker with cow shit, or pegging him in the head with a dodgeball, Billy’s classmates are always there to remind him that “O’Doyle rules.”
For as memorable as these characters are, their cinematic star burned bright before quickly fading. Since the film’s release, many have wondered what became of the O’Doyle brothers, and now in a new interview with Vice, fans have an answer.
