He was a Saturday Night Live , and appears in multiple films starring fellow alum Adam Sandler. The characters Schneider normally plays in Sandler's films are either a Cajun man who utters, "You can do it!", or as a Middle Eastern delivery boy. Schneider also portrays innocent goofballs or generally harmless "funny"men in his films. He appeared in the TV series Coach as well.

In August 2005, Schneider was criticized by respected film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times over his film Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow. After Patrick Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times had commented that Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo was overlooked for an Academy Award because "nobody had the foresight to invent a category for Best Running Penis Joke Delivered by a Third-Rate Comic", Schneider responded with full-page ads in Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter in which he stated, "Well, Mr. Goldstein, I decided to do some research to find out what awards you have won. I went online and found that you have won nothing. Absolutely nothing. No journalistic awards of any kind ... Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never Been Acknowledged by His Peers." Noting that an online search shows that Patrick Goldstein has won a National Headliner Award, a Los Angeles Press Club Award, a RockCritics.com award, and the Publicists' Guild award for lifetime achievement, Ebert responded by saying, "As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks." http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20050811%2FREVIEWS%2F50725001%2F1023&AID1=%2F20050811%2FREVIEWS%2F50725001%2F1023&AID2=

Both the reviews and the box office for "Deuce Bigelow: European Gigalow" were poor: the film fell out of the top ten in only its second week, though showing at over three thousand theaters across the US.
