Nope. For all of th hype surrounding Animal House, Belushi's character is nothing special to me. Your milage may vary.

I like Al's character because it is hard to think of ANYONE in ANYTHING who was worse as an actor than him. His "acting" and the movie's utter stupidity make it funny.

Now go drink from the firehose.

I saw an interview with Emo Phillips where he bragged about still getting residuals from UHF. Then he showed a check for $0.10.

UHF was an underrated comedy. I'd love to see Weird Al team up with the Zucker brothers (Airplane, Naked Gun) and do, well, about anything.

But, I still like Belushi. He understood what today's "comics" (Jack Black, Will Ferrell) don't get.... less is more. One raised eyebrow beats the hell out of overplaying a scene, every time.

Heck, the best laugh Jack Benny every got was from dead silence. ("your money or your life!!" ....................................................................................................................................................................)
