Animal House

[GoodSpeak]

OK.

Enough of the tired old movie threads which espouse the Hollywood mind rot the mega-multi-millionaire media moguls want us to accept as entertainment.

Here's to a REAL movie:



Post your favorite Animal House scenes, stories, laughs or characters here.

[GoodSpeak]

Do the Bluto, do the Bluto.

[cookie]

One of my favorite movies of all time.

One of my favorite lines from the movie (one that gets thrown into conversations around the house) is the one Donald Sutherland delivers at the end of his class on Milton when all the bored, disinterested students are leaving and he stands there and says, "I'm not joking. This is my JOB."

One favorite scene: Bluto sneaking around the sorority house and setting up the ladder only to fall off while drooling over the chick.

[Root Doctor]

"But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!"

[Mingus]

I gave my love a cherry,
That had no stone...

Bluto proceeds to smash the folkie's guitar to smithereens and (contritely) says, Sorry

[Underhound]

"The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me !"
-Dean Wormer




"Knowledge is Good"

-Emil Faber, founder of Faber college.

[Mingus]

When the going get tough...



















...the tough get going!


Over? It's not over 'til we say it's over!"

Was it over when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor?

[RBS]

"Fat, ugly and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
Dean Wormer

[steve(thelil)]

Seven years of college down the drain.

You fucked up: You trusted us.

Mind if we dance wif your dates?

[GoodSpeak]

I like the opening scene during Rush Week: When Bluto is taking a leak, turns when the freshmen dweebs show up, and pees on their shoes while giving directions.

A close second is when the Legacy is sent in with a [supposedly] loaded .45 automatic pistol to shoot Dean Wormer's horse...ending with the biker guy reving up the chain saw.

"That boy is a p-i-g hog"

"See if you can guess what I am now...."

[Lenny D.Guitarist]

I'm videotaping "Animal House" now from VH-1.

"Do you mind if we dance wif your dates?"
"Pre- law, pre-med, what's the difference?"
"Mine is bigger than that."

[Gentle Giant]

That was no folkie. That was Stephen ("On and On") Bishop.

IMO, Boon (the underrated Peter Riegert) has some of the funniest lines.

Wait'll Otis sees us. He LOVES us!

One double Rock & Rye and seven Carlings, please. Otis! My man!

(After Otter takes out the huge dildo) Does this thing talk?

[Deadlift]

"I used to touch Fawn like that." ...

... "I know, she told me."

[jeff54]

Bluto: "My advice to you is to start drinking heavily."
Otter: "You better listen to him Flounder, he's pre-med."


Bluto: This could be the greatest moment of our lives but your going to make it the worst

Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...
Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right.

[bostontricky]

Originally Posted by jeff54

(continuation)

Otter: No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.

[Lenny D.Guitarist]

Right before the comment about "the Germans attacking Pearl Harbor", Stork, played by National Lampoon's founder Doug Kenney, says "Whatta we 'spoze to do, you moron?"

Mr. Kenney penned the immortal line "Nice guys finish lunch." He co-wrote "Animal House" and "Caddyshack" edited the 1964 high school yearbook parody, and co-wrote "Bored of the Rings". He died from a fall off a cliff while vacationing in Hawaii.

[GoodSpeak]

Dean Wormer: "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, Son."

[HenryMc]

'The 64 yearbook also featured Larry Kroger with his Dad's Pinto and hanging round with the Quarry Rock Surfing Crowd (IN Ohio)

This is tough...considering I don't know what most of you look like and I am guessing if some of you rae male or female.

It's also meant to be fun ok ..I took the fat drunk and stupid role for myself note!!

Need to cast more ladies, Sissy, Flounders gal and Brunella, Faun's friend. Who could play those roles?

Strangely, I suspect the alley has many more Bluto's and Katies that any other cast member!!!

A few assignments I can't see, but on the whole, it seems strikingly brilliant casting. I see Massey as D-Day and me as something other than Chip Diller.

Bruce,
< I do believe you've nailed Glenda....but hasn't everybody?>

Actually, no. I abhor intimate contact because of the sweating and the messing up of clothing and especially my hair. I can't believe you would even make a suggestion such as that.
I should be offended, but I'm laughing too hard.

Animal House is my all-time favorite movie. It never fails to crack me up and entertain me.

I just got home from the holidaze and clicked immediately on this thread. I laughingly told my husband the premise.

I think HMc's casting is just fine, but sight unseen, my old man goes, "Oh, you're Mrs. Wormer for sure...".

Now, we all know that Patricia is the perfect pick given her role in the alley, but I had to laugh at my old man's comment. Sad fact is that he really KNOWS me.

I told him that H. Mc cast me as "Otter's Co-ed" and we were trying to place her. Fawn! No, Fawn's friend!

Anyway, we BOTH chuckled over that because THAT works too!

Thanks for the laughs, Henry. I needed 'em after the road time we logged in today!

cookie,


LOL!! Exactly. A few people could say that about me also and would flat-out guffaw. [Gotta watch "...House" again.]

Ladies, save yourself $500 and get a copy of anything by Garrison Keillor with his picture on the cover. As I mentioned on the "...Exploration" thread, our Dr Dave and Keillor could be twins. Very surreal, scary even, comparing the good doctor's pic on Innerviews and the cover photo on "Wobegon Summer 1956".

DEEP is so old he farts dust. He doesn't possess the vitality to play Bluto.

He would be better cast as Neidermeyers horse since he is, by all reckoning, the Alleys reigning, HORSES ASS!

I think Cookie is a better choice for Marion Wormer. She is ahot and lusty THANG.

Glenda likes to put on airs but in the end she is a smut mistress.She gets the role of Mandy.

How would Animal House look castrated by the Alley?

I never saw the film.

Some interesting facts about "Animal House"...
Belushi loved making the movie. One character in the movie,"Spazz", was played by Douglas Kenney, who was an editor of The National Lampoon. His one memorable line in the movie was uttered in response to Eric Stratton and Blutarsky's exhortations to their frat brothers to declare war on the college, Dean Wormer, and the other frat... Spazz says "What we s'pose to do, you moron?" Kenney was also the wag who penned the quip "Nice guys finish lunch".
Tragically, he died far too early as a result of an accident during a vacation in Hawaii. The "nice guy" guitarist in the movie, whose guitar was smashed by Belushi, was played by musician Stephen Bishop ("Down in Jamaica, they got lots of pretty women"etc etc). The actor
who played Niedermeyer,the real Hitler youth frat brother, had a role in a Twisted Sister MTV video. Trivia... how did
Stratton's date, Fawn Lebowitz, meet her demise?

Henry Mars... "Sophomore dies in kiln explosion." We'll accept your answer. Other trivia... What song was Stratton whistling while waiting in the lobby for Fawn Lebowitz? Why was Kent Dorfmann guaranteed being selected as a pledge in the fraternity?

Flounder was a legacy his brother was a member.

I am leaving for Ft, Myers FL. in a few minutes so Stratton's tune skips my mind ... some folk song I would assume.

"I gave my love a cherry without a stone,
I gave my love a chicken that had no bone..."

An actual title escapes me right now, but it is one of those old English riddle ballads that were preserved in the folk music scene.
Old Post 12-29-2001 04:51 PM
Ron Thorne

You're definitely on the right track, Cookie, as usual. It's common name is "The Riddle Song". It was very popular in Appalachia, among other places.

The melody also resurfaced in the pop song "The Twelfth of Never".
