Watching Animal House
- Thread starter goldmom
- Start date
“You can do what you want to us. But we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America.”
Animal House is loaded with laughs and makes you realize
how much fun you can have in college. John Vernon as
Dean Wormer of Faber College was excellent casting. It is
still one of the best comedies on college life.
Bottom Line: One of my favorite pranks in college was when
I helped hang our college basketball coach in effigy on a tree
outside the campus library.

I'm not going to say we didn't take a few liberties with our female guests...
Why? Everyone character was of age. Voyeurism is common in movies.
The scene that might not be allowed is the nude scene with the young girl who passed out drunk and then later revealed she is 13 years old.
The entire dance club scene couldn’t be made and sometimes you wonder how it can still be shown but it is hysterical,
The entire movie is just vignettes of things we see as crimes today, from the horse to underage teen girls, etc
I still laugh though.

Fat drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son…
I was going to mention that, specifically when Pinto asks his date what she was majoring in. She replies, "Primitive cultures" and the camera pans to the act on-stage. Wow, lol.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
It's one of the most quotable movies of our time.
I think it’s because there is a huge segment of the population, baby boomers and Gen X, who have seen Animal House multiple times, and by multiple I mean a lot. Cable TV and HBO/Cinemax had a huge impact. With VHS and cable TV, you could watch movies over and over and over.
I am sure there are a few of us in our 40’s - 60’s who could damn near quote the entire movie. Stripes is another one in the highly quoted category and that’s a fact, Jack.
That applies to a whole lot of movies in that era that you never hear quoted. They had the same opportunity for popularity.
They took everything, even the stuff we didn't steal.
They took the bar! The whole f*cking bar!

One of the best ever lines in American cinema……”Flounder, you f*cked up….you trusted us!”
Gentlemen!
CSB I was a student mentor/advisor for a freshmen class while in college and one of the prof’s first class get togethers for the youngins was to watch Animal House since none of them had seen it. This was 2010.
Winger’s pep talk to Ox before Round 2 of the mud wrestling match was gold.
“You’re already dirty, come on.”
Really kind of amazing how life, by which I mean fraternity culture at universities, imitated art after that movie.
Closest thing I’ve seen since is when I was taking my kids on college tours and every school insisted that THEIR library was the model for the Hogwarts library in Harry Potter.
