=== Feature films, sitcoms, and endorsements === [[File:Rob Schneider, USO tour, Nov 16 2001.jpg|thumb|Schneider in November 2001]] After leaving ''SNL'', Schneider played supporting roles in a series of films including ''[[Surf Ninjas]]'', ''[[Judge Dredd (film)|Judge Dredd]]'', ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies (1993 film)|The Beverly Hillbillies]]'', ''[[Home Alone 2: Lost in New York]]'', ''[[Demolition Man (film)|Demolition Man]]'', and ''[[Down Periscope]]''. He also appeared in a recurring part on the television series ''[[Coach (TV series)|Coach]]''. In 1996, he co-starred in the [[NBC]] sitcom ''[[Men Behaving Badly (U.S. TV series)|Men Behaving Badly]]'', an American take on the hit British series of the same name. The U.S. version ran for two seasons. Schneider starred in the 1999 feature film ''[[Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo]]'', a tale of a fish-tank cleaner who incurs a massive debt and is forced to become a "man-whore." This was followed by ''[[The Animal]]'', about a man given animal powers by a mad scientist; ''[[The Hot Chick]]'', wherein the body of a petty thief named Clive Maxtone (played by Schneider) is mystically switched with the body of a pretty, but mean-spirited high school cheerleader named Jessica Spencer (played by [[Rachel McAdams]] in her film debut); and the sequel ''[[Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo]]''. The latter movie was not well received by critics or moviegoers, and as a result, Schneider won a [[2005 Golden Raspberry Awards|2005 Worst Actor Razzie Award]] for his role in the film.<ref>{{IMDb name|1705|section=awards}}</ref> In 2006, Schneider co-starred in the baseball-themed family comedy ''[[The Benchwarmers]]'', along with his fellow ''SNL'' alumnus [[David Spade]] as well as [[Jon Heder]]. Other film roles include Schneider's appearance with [[Jim Henson's Muppets]] in the 1999 film ''[[Muppets from Space]]'', and his role as a San Francisco hobo in the 2004 remake of ''[[Around the World in 80 Days (2004 film)|Around the World in 80 Days]]''. Schneider's directorial debut, the comedy ''[[Big Stan]]'', was released in some overseas markets during the fall of 2008, with a U.S. release in early 2009. In the film, he starred as a real estate con artist who is arrested for perpetrating real-estate scams. He is sentenced to prison, so he takes a crash-course in martial arts to survive incarceration. Schneider has also appeared in numerous comedies starring his ''SNL'' comrade [[Adam Sandler]], including 1998's ''[[The Waterboy]],'' 2010's ''[[Grown Ups (film)|Grown Ups]],'' and 2020's ''[[Hubie Halloween]]''. The comedic characters Schneider plays in these films include an overly enthusiastic [[Cajun]] man who proclaims the catch-phrase, "You can do it!"; an amiable Middle Eastern delivery boy; a prison inmate; and Sandler's one-eyed Hawaiian sidekick, Ula. Schneider has uttered the line "You can do it!" as a running gag in Sandler's films ''[[The Waterboy]]'', ''[[Little Nicky]]'', ''[[50 First Dates]]'', ''[[The Longest Yard (2005 film)|The Longest Yard]]'', and ''[[Bedtime Stories (film)|Bedtime Stories]]'', as well as in a deleted scene from ''[[Click (2006 film)|Click]]'' (a sample of Schneider saying the phrase also turns up in the song "[[Original Prankster]]" by [[The Offspring]]). Returning the favor, Sandler appeared in a cameo to spout the same line in Schneider's ''[[The Animal]]''. Schneider narrated Sandler's 2002 animated movie ''[[Eight Crazy Nights]]'', and voiced the part of a Chinese waiter. Schneider also had an uncredited cameo as a Canadian-Japanese wedding-chapel minister in the 2007 Sandler-[[Kevin James]] comedy ''[[I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry]]'', and played a [[Palestinian]] cab driver who serves as the title character's nemesis in the 2008 Sandler film ''[[You Don't Mess with the Zohan]]''. Schneider played a variety of roles in the 2005 television special ''Back to Norm'', starring another former ''SNL'' player [[Norm Macdonald]], and appeared on episodes of the popular television shows ''[[Seinfeld]]'' and ''[[Ally McBeal]]''. Schneider hosted the ''Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit '97'' television special, and the 2005 [[Teen Choice Awards]], and was a frequent guest on NBC's late-night variety program ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]''. In Schneider's appearance with Leno on the July 24, 2007, episode of ''The Tonight Show,'' he showed up in drag as actress [[Lindsay Lohan]] after the latter cancelled following a controversial arrest for [[driving under the influence]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://people.com/celebrity/rob-schneider-in-drag-fills-in-for-lindsay-lohan-on-tonight-show/|title=Rob Schneider (in Drag) Fills in for Lindsay Lohan on Tonight Show|website=People|access-date=November 15, 2017}}</ref> Besides his efforts in movies and television, Schneider released his first comedy album ''[[Registered Offender]]'' in July 2010. ''Registered Offender'' is composed of audio sketches and songs, with Schneider himself doing all of the character voices on the recording. He also revived his stand-up comedy career in 2010 with an international tour of theaters, clubs, and casinos.{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} Schneider appeared in the music video for country singer [[Neal McCoy]]'s "[[Billy's Got His Beer Goggles On]]", as the song's title character. McCoy and Schneider met while the two went on a [[USO]] tour in support of U.S. troops two months after the [[September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks]]. Schneider starred as the title character in the [[CBS]] sitcom ''[[Rob (TV series)|Rob]]'', which was loosely based on his real life. The series ran for eight episodes starting on January 12, 2012 and was canceled in May. In 2015, he produced, directed and starred in ''[[Real Rob]]'', a sitcom that follows his life and includes his real-life wife Patricia and daughter Miranda. [[Netflix]] released a season of 8 episodes,<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Hipes |first=Patrick |url=https://deadline.com/2015/11/real-rob-trailer-rob-schneider-netflix-comedy-series-1201631754/ |title=[VIDEO] 'Real Rob' Trailer: Rob Schneider Goes All Hollywood On Netflix |magazine=Deadline |date=November 20, 2015 |access-date=December 1, 2015 |archive-date=November 16, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181116103407/https://deadline.com/2015/11/real-rob-trailer-rob-schneider-netflix-comedy-series-1201631754/ |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/rob-schneider-netflix-tv-series-real-rob-827928 |title='Real Rob': Rob Schneider's Comedy Series Coming to Netflix |work=The Hollywood Reporter |date=September 29, 2015 |access-date=December 1, 2015}}</ref> and a second season in 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2016/07/netflix-chelsea-lady-dynamite-real-rob-renewed-season-2-1201793406/|title=Netflix Renews 'Chelsea', 'Lady Dynamite' & 'Real Rob' For Season 2 -TCA|date=July 27, 2016|work=Deadline|access-date=July 27, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/tv/2017/08/23/new-to-netflix-september-2017/|title=New to Netflix in September: 'Pulp Fiction', 'Jerry Before Seinfeld' and More|date=August 23, 2017|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=August 23, 2017|language=en-US}}</ref> Schneider is the official celebrity spokesperson for the Taiwan Tourism Bureau and the [[Ten Ren Tea|Ten Ren Tea company]] in [[Taipei]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://focustaiwan.tw/news/aedu/201402110053.aspx|title=Rob Schneider honored for helping boost travel to Taiwan|work=focustaiwan.tw|date=February 11, 2014}}</ref> Schneider was spokesperson for [[State Farm]] Insurance, but was dropped in 2014 due to his [[Anti-vaccine activism|anti-vaccination views]].<ref name="hollywood reporter">{{cite web |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/how-vaccines-autism-battle-continues-despite-scientific-consensus-924080 |title=How Hollywood Stars, Trump and Scientologists Inflame the Vaccine Wars: "It's Spurious but Effective" |last=Baum |first=Gary |date=August 31, 2016 |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |access-date=February 21, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-rob-schneider-state-farm-antivaccine-views-20140925-story.html |title=State Farm dumps pitchman Rob Schneider over anti-vaccine views |last=Blake |first=Meredith |date=September 25, 2014 |website=[[Los Angeles Times]] |access-date=February 21, 2017}}</ref> In May 2016, Schneider was featured as a special guest on the [[Let's Play]] [[webseries]] ''[[Game Grumps]]'', alongside his wife Patricia, commentating over [[Midway Games|Midway]]'s ''[[Mortal Kombat Trilogy]]''.

In 2021, Schneider competed on [[The Masked Singer (American TV series) season 6|season six]] of ''[[The Masked Singer (American TV series)|The Masked Singer]]'' as the wild card contestant "Hamster". A running gag is that "Hamster" would pantomime urinating on [[Nick Cannon]] and get affectionate with him. When unmasked on the fifth week, Schneider dedicated his performance of [[Luis Miguel]]'s ''[[Sabor a MΓ]]'' to Patricia and his daughters Miranda, Madeline, and [[Elle King|Elle]]. In addition, Schneider did a variation of his Townie character's "You can do it" line by quoting Hamster's final words "You can do it Masked Singer, all night long!" In 2022, he starred, produced, and directed in ''[[Daddy Daughter Trip]]'', which served as his third film as a director and also starred his wife Patricia and daughter Miranda. The film was to be exclusively shown in [[Harkins Theatres|Harkins Theaters]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Grobar |first=Matt |date=August 12, 2022 |title='Love's Second Act' Gets Cast; Rob Schneider Sets 'Daddy Daughter Trip' Release; Maria Carretero Joins Assembly; Clip From Colson Baker Action-Thriller 'One Way'; More β Film Briefs |url=https://deadline.com/2022/08/rob-schneider-daddy-daughter-trip-release-loves-second-act-cast-more-1235089444/ |access-date=September 3, 2022 |website=[[Deadline (website)|Deadline]]}}</ref>
