=== Feature films, sitcoms, and endorsements ===
[[File:Rob Schneider, USO tour, Nov 16 2001.jpg|thumb|Schneider in November 2001]]
During and after leaving ''SNL'', Schneider played supporting roles in a series of films including ''[[Home Alone 2: Lost in New York]]'' (1992), ''[[Surf Ninjas]]'' (1993),  ''[[Demolition Man (film)|Demolition Man]]'' (1993), ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies (1993 film)|The Beverly Hillbillies]]'' (1993), ''[[Judge Dredd (film)|Judge Dredd]]'' (1995),   and ''[[Down Periscope]]'' (1996). 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]]'' (2001), about a man given animal powers by a mad scientist; ''[[The Hot Chick]]'' (2002), 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]]'' (2005). 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 ''[[The Waterboy]]'' (1998), ''[[Grown Ups (film)|Grown Ups]]'' (2010) and ''[[Hubie Halloween]]'' (2020). 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&#93; '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>

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 Mí]]'' 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 – 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>

==Political views and positions==
In 2013, Schneider switched political parties from the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] to the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]], explaining: "The state of California is a mess, and the super majority of Democrats is not working. I've been a lifelong Democrat and I have to switch over because it no longer serves the people of this great state."<ref name=Chumley>{{cite news|last1=Chumley|first1=Cheryl K.|title=Hollywood star Rob Schneider turns Republican, citing Democratic 'disaster'|url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/1/hollywood-star-turns-republican-citing-democratic-/|access-date=September 28, 2024|newspaper=The Washington Times|date=October 1, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131007094247/http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/1/hollywood-star-turns-republican-citing-democratic-/|archive-date=October 7, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref> He endorsed Republican candidate [[Tim Donnelly (politician)|Tim Donnelly]] for the [[2014 California gubernatorial election]].<ref name=Chumley />

In an interview on ''[[Larry King Now]]'' in 2017, Schneider said he was an [[Independent voter|independent]] but leaned more [[Conservatism in the United States|conservative]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Rob Schneider clarifies his position on vaccines | date=November 10, 2017 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlnssseIo1k |language=en |access-date=April 21, 2022}}</ref>

In July 2023, Schneider endorsed independent candidate [[Robert F. Kennedy Jr.]] in the [[2024 U.S. presidential election]].<ref>{{cite news|last=Kurtz|first=Judy|title=Rob Schneider backs RFK Jr.: 'Inspiring, hopeful, courageous'|url=https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4067877-rob-schneider-backs-rfk-jr-inspiring-hopeful-courageous/|work=[[The Hill (newspaper)|The Hill]]|date=July 26, 2023}}</ref> In August 2024, following the [[Robert F.

===Anti-vaccination and health activism===
Schneider has been a critic of [[Vaccination#Vaccination and autism|childhood vaccinations]].<ref name="hollywood reporter" /> In an interview with [[KXTV|News10]] in Sacramento, Schneider opined that "The efficacy of these shots have not been proven{{Nbsp}}... And the toxicity of these things{{Snd}}we're having more and more side effects. We're having more and more autism." He also views the actions from the state of California to mandate vaccinations as government overreach.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/01/rob-schneider-links-autism-vaccines_n_1641922.html |title=Rob Schneider Links Autism To Vaccines, Rails Against Big Government (Video) |last=Hart |first=Benjamin |date=July 1, 2012 |website=[[The Huffington Post]] |access-date=February 21, 2017}}</ref>

In 2015, Schneider actively opposed the passage of two California laws, California Assembly Bill 2109 and [[California Senate Bill 277]], which both made childhood vaccination exemptions harder to obtain. On September 28, 2012, Schneider and California State Assemblyman Tim Donnelly spoke at the "Medical Freedom Rally", where they urged California Governor [[Jerry Brown]] to veto Assembly Bill 2109, which would have made it more difficult for parents to use philosophical reasons for exemptions from mandatory childhood vaccinations. While the bill was not vetoed, Governor Brown added a signing message instructing the [[Department of Health]] to add a [[Vaccination and religion#Exemptions|religious exemption]] and to make sure the process was not overly burdensome to parents.<ref>{{Cite AV media |url=https://vimeo.com/60227438 |title=Rob Schneider and Tim Donnelly |last=Medical Freedom |date=February 21, 2012 |via=[[Vimeo]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_2109_Signing_Message.pdf | title=AB2109 signing message | first=Jerry | last=Brown | author-link=Jerry Brown | date=September 30, 2012 | access-date=February 21, 2017 | archive-date=February 12, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130212080247/http://gov.ca.gov/docs/AB_2109_Signing_Message.pdf | url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2012/09/am-alert-rob-schneider-tim-donnelly-team-up-on-vaccinations.html |title=AM Alert: Rob Schneider, Tim Donnelly Team Up On Vaccinations |last=Massimino |first=Micaela |date=September 28, 2012 |website=[[The Sacramento Bee]] – Capitol Alert |access-date=February 20, 2017 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160529003350/http://blogs.sacbee.com/capitolalertlatest/2012/09/am-alert-rob-schneider-tim-donnelly-team-up-on-vaccinations.html |archive-date=May 29, 2016}}</ref>

While fighting [[California Senate Bill 277]], which removed exemptions to mandatory vaccinations due to personal beliefs, Schneider left a phone message to California state Assemblywoman and bill co-author [[Lorena Gonzalez (California politician)|Lorena Gonzalez]] saying that he would spend money against her in her next re-election. Gonzalez, in an interview with ''[[The Washington Times]]'', said that she found the message to be disturbing, but upon calling back, she said, "he was actually much nicer to me, but let's be honest{{Nbsp}}... that is 20 mins of my life I'll never get back arguing that vaccines don't cause autism with ''Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo''."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/15/rob-schneider-anti-vaccine-actor-leaves-disturbing/ |title=Rob Schneider, anti-vaccine actor, leaves 'disturbing message' for lawmaker |last=Chasmar |first=Jessica |date=February 15, 2015 |website=[[The Washington Times]] |access-date=February 19, 2017 |archive-date=February 20, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170220171529/http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/feb/15/rob-schneider-anti-vaccine-actor-leaves-disturbing/ |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In October 2025, he tweeted that "there were no Children's Hospitals when I was a kid. Because kids weren't sick."<ref name="Kiley">{{cite news |last1=Kiley |first1=Rachel |title=Rob Schneider gets dragged after claiming there were "NO Children's Hospitals" when he was growing up |url=https://www.dailydot.com/news/rob-schneider-no-childrens-hospitals-when-he-grew-up/ |access-date=24 October 2025 |work=The Daily Dot |date=24 October 2025}}</ref> Others responded, pointing out that many such hospitals existed even before his birth, and that the first children's hospital in the United States, the [[Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia]], opened in 1855.<ref name="Kiley" />

===Removed off stage===
In June 2024, Schneider performed in [[Saskatchewan]] at a fundraising event for the Hospitals of Regina Foundation fundraiser (a Canadian medical not-for-profit organization), where he told jokes about vaccines, women, and transgender people. He was removed from the stage in the middle of his set by event organizers, who later apologized for his behaviour.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/hospitals-regina-foundation-1.7225493|title=Attendee says Rob Schneider's jokes at Hospitals of Regina Foundation fundraiser were 'unacceptable'|website=[[CBC.ca]]|date=June 5, 2024|access-date=August 12, 2024}}</ref>  Schneider has defended his jokes, stating "I'm doing it right."<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Lewis|first=Hilary|title=Rob Schneider Says People "Yelling," Walking Out of His Comedy Shows Means He's "Doing It Right"|date=August 21, 2024|magazine=The Hollywood Reporter|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/rob-schneider-defends-stand-up-backlash-1235980053/|accessdate=January 5, 2025}}</ref>

===Paris Olympics boycott===
In July 2024, Schneider posted on the social media platform X, "I am sorry to say to ALL the world's GREATEST ATHLETES, I wish you ALL THE BEST, but I cannot watch an [[Olympic Games|Olympics]] that disrespects Christianity and openly celebrates Satan. I sincerely hope THESE @Olympics get the same amount of viewers as @[[C-SPAN|cspan]]". This was in reaction to the [[2024 Summer Olympics opening ceremony]], which was accused of including drag queen performers burlesquing [[The Last Supper (Leonardo)|''The Last Supper'' painting]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-opening-ceremony-last-supper-criticism-9dd5fc5f1849ce9b0720fa997f38ed27|title=Paris Olympics organizers say they meant no disrespect with 'Last Supper' tableau|website=[[Associated Press]]|date=July 28, 2024|access-date=October 5, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/rob-schneider-olympics-boycott-19604532.php|title=S.F. comedian Rob Schneider outraged by Paris Olympics, claims it 'openly celebrates Satan'|website=[[San Francisco Chronicle]]|date=July 29, 2024|access-date=August 12, 2024}}</ref>

===Transgender views===
In 2023, Schneider made posts on social media criticizing the transgender [[TikTok]] influencer [[Dylan Mulvaney]], calling her transgender identity "cultural appropriation".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.newsweek.com/rob-schneider-comments-dylan-mulvaney-spark-uproar-1825195|title=Rob Schneider's Comments on Dylan Mulvaney Spark Uproar|website=[[Newsweek]]|date=September 7, 2023|access-date=October 28, 2024}}</ref>

In August 2024, Schneider was a speaker at the 2024 national summit for the anti-transgender group [[Moms for Liberty]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/moms-for-liberty-transphobia-summit_n_66d254bee4b013957161d69b/amp|title=Moms For Liberty Goes All In On Transphobia|website=[[The Huffington Post]]|date=August 30, 2024|access-date=October 28, 2024}}</ref>

In September 2024, Schneider's daughter, [[Elle King]], distanced herself from Schneider and criticized his comments.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/elle-king|title=Elle King defends the LGBTQ+ community by rebuking her father Rob Schneider's homophobic beliefs (exclusive)|website=[[The Advocate (magazine)|The Advocate]]|date=September 6, 2024|access-date=October 28, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/elle-king-rob-schneiders-anti-gay-rights-views-video/|title=Elle King Says Father Rob Schneider's "Anti-Gay Rights" Views Are "F***ed", Will Go Years Without Speaking to Him|website=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=August 12, 2024 |access-date=October 28, 2024}}</ref>
