Senseless is a 1998 American buddy comedy science fiction film directed by Penelope Spheeris and written by Greg Erb and Craig Mazin. The film stars Marlon Wayans and David Spade alongside Matthew Lillard, Brad Dourif, Tamara Taylor, and Rip Torn.
==Plot== Darryl Witherspoon is an economics student at Stratford University, who does not have the advantages of his wealthy nemesis, Scott Thorpe, or his best friend Tim LaFlour, a straight edge punk rocker who has a hockey scholarship. Darryl is so broke he donates four pints of blood in one day (playing a different character each time) and four vials of sperm in one day. Darryl's big break comes when he enters a competition, where the winner gets a high-paying Wall Street job. But when Scott enters the competition, it seems Darryl's break has gone down the drain. He takes on a high-paying experiment to test a drug that increases the five senses by ten times. Darryl uses it to his advantage and he impresses the competition's supervisor, Mr. Tyson and he even joins the hockey team as a goalie. But after taking an extra dose one night to improve your sexual performance with a lover, he experiences side effects. The experiment's supervisor, Dr. Thomas Wheedon, tells Darryl only four of his senses will work at a time until the drug leaves his body.
