It’s hard to believe that it’s been 35 years since this smash-hit frathouse comedy was first released. Amazingly enough, Animal House only received mixed reviews when it came out—though both Time magazine and Roger Ebert named it one of the best movies of 1978. Critics didn’t really matter, though, since the film grossed well over $100 million, making it the third-biggest of the year, behind only Grease and Superman.

“How did Pinto get his Delta name?”
He was really an illegal alien and they called him Beaner. Since Faber was a progressive school and was PC they had to change his name.
Whereabouts unknown. ...
Yes he does. I saw him open for Stevie Ray Vaughan one night many, many, many years ago. Lessee, I think it was around 1984.
Got tar on it at the beach when he was a kid.
“I used to touch Fawn this way.”
“I know. She told me.”
Funny, they forget DDay. He has had, aside from Bacon, one of the most prolific and continuous careers.
I think he was one of the writers from National Lampoon. God I loved that magazine back in college.
Animal House played at our campus the next winter (after its initial release.) Almost the entire campus went to it straight for five nights.
Vernon was one of those second-tier actors - the ones that are in many movies as secondary characters that push the movie forward, but never quite get to make the star billing.
He was very believable in the roles he played, and that is all any actor could wish for.
I was saddened when he passed away back in ‘05. Another actor in that same vein was Ed Lauter; he passed away last year. Another one of the “good ones”.
Whatever role they played - good guy, bad guy - they did it convincingly and with professionalism. They weren’t drama queens. They were just damn good at what they did.
I miss that type of acting. Many of today’s movies are just pablum.
I’m not sure where D-Day is, but I’m pretty sure he’s a FReeper!
Bridesmaids was funny.
Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Kristin Wieg are funny.
I was an official “Pants-Down Republican” back in the day.
Ha!! The guy with the measuring tape and the chainsaw! Classic!!!
Because he had a multi colored penis.
HOLY S___!
There were blanks in that gun!
HOLY S___!
There WERE blanks in that gun!
D-Day is currently starring in “Rissoli & Isles”.
Actually, I meant the character D-Day, not the actor who played him.
That would be D-Day!
and Here’s Flounder!

“Out with it!”
“Thank you sir. May I have another?”
“Can you guess what I am now?
“Cut the cake!”
That place must be like Mecca for Animal House fans!!
I didn’t know it was a real club... Excellent!
Sort of like Ralphie’s house from “A Christmas Story” - except it’s really in Cleveland, not Indiana...
