I was 13 or 14 when it came out. But by then, I'd already been prepped (!!!) by watching Monty Python and WNDU's (South Bend, IN) own student-run comedy half-hour, Beyond Our Control.

"Nobody had ever seen anything like it. It was rebellious, it was anarchic, it was gross. It had kids getting wasted and puking and being promiscuous, sometimes all at once. Its heroes were drunks and slobs and Peeping Toms; its villains were teachers and cheerleaders and anybody who was or would ever be grown up. It trashed militaristic ROTC Nazis and limp-wimp folksingers with equal glee. It was grungy rock 'n' roll in the slam-glam Age of Disco." Except the millions of us that LIVED it! DUHHH...

"Animal House" was nothing!
If you want to really have a mind streching experience...
read "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter Thompson.
In order to get the full effect, a little weed would be good, acid doesn't allow you to read, I tried...
alcohol can fill in if you are afraid or unable to score!!
Either or any of these ways and the book will cure you of "Animal House!!"
Guaranteed!!!

How about when Belushi did the "I'm a zit" riddle and showered all that half-chewded food over the girl in the cafeteria and started the food fight to create enough confusion to escape? What a genius!
That was a classic. Belushi should have gotten an Oscar for that magnicent performance.

Forget Hollywood lifers like Reitman, Ramis and Landis -- all old Lampoon fans knew the real secret behind AH was Doug Kenney and Chris Miller. Basic scenes in the movie all appeared in early Lampoon issues, in particular their 1964 High School Yearbook parody, featuring Larry Kroger.
It always made me laugh when critics called the film "low-brow" -- Miller was retelling his Dartmouth fraternity days, and Kenney was of course the Harvard Lampoon's most brilliant editor.
If you can find it, Chris Miller's novelization of the movie is hilarious, with loads of scenes and character details that never made the film.

Animal House was actually a pretty PC movie.
It always fascinated me how the Hollywood rebels and nonconformists always rebel in the same way. The same people are always the villains and the same groups are always the good guys, although now that I think about it, I don't recall the Black guys saving the day in this one.
Have to admit tho, it really was funny.

The finest moment is when Belushi smashes up the folkie's guitar, then says, "Sorry."

One of the great comedy classics of the 70's, along with Blazing Saddles, Pink Panther, Holy Grail, American Graffiti ...
``We articulated that among ourselves while we were making it, that this was a movie for us. Remember, comedy back then was still Doris Day and Phyllis Diller. There was very little being made for this generation.''
This guy is really full of himself, aint he? Guess he never heard of Mel Brooks, Monty Python, George Carlin, etc etc.
And John Belushi was a hugely popular and well-known star.
(It was finally shot at the University of Oregon where the president OK'd it without reading the script -- he was still sick over saying no to The Graduate because he thought it was dirty, and had concluded he didn't know how to read screenplays.)
LOL.
Still, Bacon was a model of sophistication next to Stephen Furst, signed to play the hapless Delta pledge Flounder. Furst, a Hollywood pizza delivery boy, stuffed his picture and résumé inside every pie he delivered -- an impossibly unlikely strategy that paid off when he delivered a double pepperoni to National Lampoon publisher Matty Simmons.
Wow, what a cool story.
a beer keg bursting out of the forehead of a paper-mache replica of President Kennedy on a homecoming float ...
Oh they should have left that in !
... and jokes about Bob Dylan and Norway's King Olav IV (don't ask).
Do tell, do tell ...
But when the final arguments about the script were over, the actual filming -- just 32 days -- went smoothly, if exhaustingly. (Especially the memorable toga party scene, which lasted for two 12-hour days.)
I've been to toga parties that lasted longer :-)

''The greatest tragedy is that there's a generation out there that doesn't know John Belushi and what he could do,'' Matheson declares. 'You hear kids say, `Hey, don't you mean Jim?' And it's just not right.''
If there's anyone from the cast who's made a career out of "those" kinds of movies it's Matheson. Belushi, as we all know, was destined for the US Senate. >:)
I have two very authentic looking "Faber College" golf shirts. It's amazing how few people get it.
