Water Boy is one of my favorite movies of all time as well, so seeing this clip brings back memories of my friends and I watching the movie over and over again. The reason I find so much humor in the movie is the drastic change of personalities for Bobby. He goes from "the waterway" to a star on the football team, who everyone loves. This particular scene if filled with the incongruity theory, as well as the superiority theory, which you clearly stated. No one in the audience expects Bobby to come out of nowhere and violently tackle the quarterback, nevertheless be asked to join the football team. The big bad jocks from the football team make fun of the water boy, which turns into the water boy being the most respected player on the field.
