I was a pledge in a Fraternity when Animal House came out, Same here. We swore they spied on us and made a movie out of it. ;O)

Only four movies before 1970. NONE from the 1940s. Only one fron the ‘30s.
Spaceballs as representative of Mel Brooks?! I favor the mostly forgotten Silent Movie or The Peoducers, or High Anxiety. Many would go with Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein. Spaceballs is like saying Henry IV Part II is your favorite Shakespeare play.
Clue?! Really!? It wasn’t funny. Murder by Death aces it in that genre, and the Maltese Falcon is funnier than both, even though it isn’t a comedy.
This is a list by someone given an assignment who knows little about cinema or its history, and hasn’t seen a broad enough spread of movies. I am not sure if he is mainly ignorant or just has stunted taste.

I watched “Hot Fuzz” a few months ago, I hadn’t laughed so hard in a movie for a long time.

BASEketball, made me laugh out loud so much.
I don’t know why Matt and Trey distance themselves from it now, I thought they were great.

“Animal House was fictional but contained enough truth to make it hysterical funny”
That’s how I felt about “Office Space” those years when I was a cube rat. Fictional, but enough truth — too much truth, actually.

Barf. They just can't help themselves.
