"Eight years of college down the drain..."
"You didn't throw up in front of Dean Wormer. You threw up on Dean Wormer..."
and my favorite,
"Was it over when the Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor?"
Mark
"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
"Can we dance with your dates?"
ANY of these would have been better than "Toga! Toga!"
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the f'ing Peace Corps.
Doug Neidermeyer: How does it feel to be an independent, Schoenstein?
Boon: How does it feel to be an a$$hole, Neidermeyer?
They confiscated everything, even the stuff we didn't steal!
Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did. But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!
Katy: Is this really what you're gonna do for the rest of your life?
Boon: What do you mean?
Katy: I mean hanging around with a bunch of animals getting drunk every weekend.
Boon: No! After I graduate, I'm gonna get drunk every night.
Dean Vernon Wormer: Carmine, I don't think it's right that you should extort money from the college.
Mayor Carmine De Pasto: Look, these parades you throw are very expensive. You using my police, my sanitation people, and my Oldsmobiles free of charge. So, if you mention extortion again, I'll have your legs broken.
Marion Wormer: You can take your thumb out of my a$$ any time now, Carmine.
Guitar dork: I gave my love a cherry / That had no stone / I gave my love a chicken / That had no bones / I gave my love a story / That had no end / I gave my...
Bluto: [grabs the guitar and smashes it against the wall] Sorry.
Mind if we dance with your dates?

While those were funny lines, they're only funny in the context of Animal House. They didn't have cultural impact. On the other hand, "spontaneous" chants of "Toga! Toga! Toga!" were quite common even in my first year of high school, when most of the guys hadn't even seen the film yet.
It's not going to be an orgy, it's a toga party...'
Although the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor is close, along with 'That boy is a P..I..G..pig'
missing from the top ten: "Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?"
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son".

"I hate those guys"
"Put Niedermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little s**t just like you are".
"Thank you god!"
"They took the bar! The whole f***ing bar!"
"I'm in love with a retard. Is he bigger than me?"
"Try to guess what I am now?"
