Animal House: Where Are They Now?

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 35 years since this smash-hit frathouse comedy was first released. Amazingly enough, Animal House only received mixed reviews when it came out—though both Time magazine and Roger Ebert named it one of the best movies of 1978. Critics didn’t really matter, though, since the film grossed well over $100 million, making it the third-biggest of the year, behind only Grease and Superman.

In its early years SNL was NOT missed. Sat was a late date with a view of the TV. Then it was funny! It’s been years since and a few weeks ago a show was watched. Awful!! When did NBC add that grotesque laugh track? And the sketches themselves were not the least bit humorous. For either side of the isle. With the first players out of the game, the game should have been called. Will not make the mistake of watching that again!

I still say the best ever SNL, Richard Pryor....Word Association and The Exorcist Part II (THE BED IS ON MY FOOT!)

Haha!!
“Do you mind if we dance wiff yo dates?”
“Why NO, go RIGHT ahead!!”

“I can’t believe I threw up in front of Dean Wormer!”
“You threw up ON Dean Wormer!”
(John Vernon’s close-up there was PRICELESS! He’s passed away too, sadly. Good actor. He was great in Outlaw Josey Wales).

“...Seen Cray a few times,...”

The man can PLAY some mean guitar.

“Did we give up when the German’s bombed Pearl Harbor?”

[ssaftler]

If you ever go to an A's game, they play the "It ain't over till we say it's over" piece going into the bottom of the 9th inning. Still good for a chuckle.

And I believe Pinto's name was given to him by Bluto.

"Why Pinto?"

"Why NOT???"

[Fresh Wind]

“If I was you I’d be...”

“Leaving!”

[Fresh Wind]

That was the sanitized version for the movie.

The book has it “Because you have a spotted dong!”

[dfwgator]

Flounder spilled the beans on Pinto, though.

“I can’t believe I threw up in front of Dean Wormer!”
“You threw up ON Dean Wormer!”
(John Vernon’s close-up there was PRICELESS! He’s passed away too, sadly. Good actor. He was great in Outlaw Josey Wales).

He was pretty good in “I’m Going to Get You Sucka” too.

[Fresh Wind]

And Bluto spilled the mustard on himself.

The scene with Dorfman and Neidermeyer’s horse, in the Dean’s office, still brings on a choking fit of laughter with me.

I went to a west coast college in the 60s. The killing-a-horse in someone’s room was a legendary prank. No one ever claimed it had ever been done, but the punch line was the same as in the movie—you’d never get the dead horse out without taking it apart.

>>>>whatever happened to the cast of Porky’s? Did any of them ever continue in movies?.

I understand Jugdish was one of the back linesman that worked those controversial NFL games early last season. I heard he moved on and is now an umpire in AAA ball.

[NFHale]

Haha!! Excellent!!!

So many good moments in that movie... They got it right, and all the ingredients fell together perfectly.

[dfwgator]

Scary to think in 4 years it will be the 40th anniversary.

I met the guy that rode the motorcycle up the stairs at a restaurant in Alvin TX shortly after the movie came out.

“Sophomore Dies in Kiln Explosion...” ?

Reminded me of when I pledged at Fairleigh Dickenson University, Teaneck NJ campus, in 1962. So many similarities. I’m not sure of the Greek symbols the frat house used. However it was known as the ‘SOB’s.
