* TrueCompanions: was this with Creator/DavidSpade and Creator/ChrisFarley. Sandler said once in an interview on ''Series/{{Conan}}'' that whenever the hot tempered Farley would get into a fight with Spade, Sandler would be the one to calm Farley down again. In 2018, as part of his ''100% Fresh'' tour, Sandler sang a tribute song he wrote about Farley.

* ProductionPosse: The films he makes at Happy Madison can have a lower cast/crew turnaround than a [[Creator/TheCoenBrothers Coen Brothers]] movie. For instance, he has a history of working with director Dennis Dugan and Peter Segal and actors Creator/DavidSpade, Rob Schneider, Nick Swardson, Creator/ChrisRock, Kevin James, Creator/ChrisFarley (while before he died), Creator/SteveBuscemi, Kevin Nealon, and Tim Meadows. Also, if you ever see Peter Dante, Allen Covert and Jonathan Loughran (especially the former two), you can bet the film is a Happy Madison Production.

* BrilliantButLazy: He is actually a great actor, having studied at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and delivering his best work in several films such as ''Punch Drunk Love'', ''Reign Over Me'', ''Funny People'', ''The Meyerowitz Stories'' and ''Uncut Gems''. It's such a shame that all of that is overshadowed by his less-than-stellar work in the past and present...
** He also gets a lot of flack for not doing enough serious movies instead of doing “stupid” movies with his friends.
*** Sandler often will pick a location if he thinks it will be fun to shoot in. Hawaii was chosen for 50 First Dates simply because he wanted a place to have a vacation while working.
