From the Liberals Spoil Everything department, where everything is a problem, heres Vice writer Harry Cheadle: Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of 'Animal House' by Tossing It in the Trash -- Drunken frat boys don't seem so charming anymore, and the film's gender politics are 'xxxxx'd' beyond repair.
From his 2018 perch, Cheadle tears into the offensive, vulgar, and extremely hilarious college comedy hit for its lack of wokeness:
Its difficult to imagine what it was like when Animal House dropped into theaters on July 28, 1978, exactly 40 years ago. It landed like the opening of a revolution and spread through the country like a virus, eventually grossing over $500 million in today's dollars and becoming part of the DNA of every campus comedy for the next few decades....Animal House will never die. The question is, should it?
After listing the antics of John Belushis character, Cheadle quickly got to the more problematic scenes, while insulting fans.

The Homo channel is lecturing on something?
Who cares.
Another channel that sucks is Sundance.
I started to watch The Jerk on it the other day and they cut out too much.
I was done watching about 20minutes in.
My regards to Mr. Shirley.
Yep, the irony of the a*shat hippies and yuppies loving those movies have changed their own goal posts and moved so far over to Mao’s lil red book it makes the Chinese blush, the bolsheviks amazed at their babushka bazookas and the aryan brown shirts banging their heads at the chutzpah of these new demons
Blazing Saddles would’ve been so much better with Richard Pryor in the lead—but I guess that’s one of the things a guy doesn’t get to do in H’Wood after he accidentally pees on Shelly Winters.
Fellow TKE bump. It’s so cool being in the same Fraternity as Reagan.
The hypersensitive left truly has no sense of humor.
The works of Mel Brooks would be howled at these days, as great as they were.
This same kind of criticism was in USA Today about two weeks ago written by some snowflake woman writer. She was almost calling for the film to never see the light of day again.
These kind of writers want to retroactively put today’s PC culture and so called values and mores on things they don’t like. Theoretically you could do that to everything in the past.
Where does it end??????????
