CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Otter (Tim Matheson) makes a stirring defense of the Deltas' drunken shenanigans.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director John Landis put himself on the map with this low-budget, fabulously successful comedy, which made a then-astounding 62 million dollars and started a slew of careers for its cast in the process. National Lampoon's Animal House is set in 1962 on the campus of Faber College in Faber, PA. The first glimpse we get of the campus is the statue of its founder Emil Faber, on the base of which is inscribed the motto, "Knowledge Is Good." Incoming freshmen Larry "Pinto" Kroger (Tom Hulce) and Kent "Flounder" Dorfman (Stephen Furst) find themselves rejected by the pretentious Omega fraternity, and instead pledge to Delta House. The Deltas are a motley fraternity of rejects and maladjusted undergraduates (some approaching their late twenties) whose main goal -- seemingly accomplished in part by their mere presence on campus -- is disrupting the staid, peaceful, rigidly orthodox, and totally hypocritical social order of the school, as represented by the Omegas and the college's dean, Vernon Wormer (John Vernon). Dean Wormer decides that this is the year he's going to get the Deltas expelled and their chapter decertified; he places the fraternity on "double secret probation" and, with help from Omega president Greg Marmalard (James Daughton) and hard-nosed member Doug Neidermeyer (Mark Metcalf), starts looking for any pretext on which to bring the members of the Delta fraternity up on charges. The Deltas, oblivious to the danger they're in, are having a great time, steeped in irreverence, mild debauchery, and occasional drunkenness, led by seniors Otter (Tim Matheson), Hoover (James Widdoes), D-Day (Bruce McGill), Boon (Peter Riegert), and pledge master John "Bluto" Blutarsky (John Belushi). They're given enough rope to hang themselves, but even then manage to get into comical misadventures on a road trip (where they arrange an assignation with a group of young ladies from Emily Dickinson University). Finally, they are thrown out of school, and, as a result, stripped of their student deferments (and, thus, eligible for the draft). They decide to commit one last, utterly senseless (and screamingly funny) slapstick act of rebellion, making a shambles of the university's annual homecoming parade, and, in the process, getting revenge on the dean, the Omegas, and everyone else who has ever gone against them.

One of the greatest subtle comedy lines in this scene that doesn't get enough attention is "Delta house has a long tradition of existence"
It is the perfect exercise of meaningless rhetoric that is so often used in speeches. "what does that even mean"
WELL PUT!!!
@@thegadflygang5381 History of tradition would be the proper way phrase such rhetoric. Tradition of existence is just hilarious!
I heard it but just didn’t ponder on it. Clever!
Good pick up
Perhaps the finest legal argument in film.
More of a social/ethical argument than a legal one
He kinda has a point hahahah
It was a bit of a stretch 😂
@@georgehenderson7783 I agree that that the whole fraternity shouldn't get punished by a few individuals, but when he said that punishing the fraternity is an indictment on the educational system and then said it's an indictment on the United States of America, he stretched it a thousand fold.
@@timbrown5576 And that's what's so hilarious about it! 😂
This whole scene should be studied in film school for how cinematic comedy should be done. Perfect writing, casting, acting, timing, editing....
Amen to that!
@@je7887 eat me, to that
Really not all that funny. Lol
And isn't this an indictment of the movie making industry in general? 😉
I put it to you, @@stourleykracklite7663 🤣
The one movie where every character is my favorite character
tiamta neidemeyer is your favorite character?
tiamta I take it that "Animal House" is one of your favorite movies of all time. Would it be fair to say maybe even your top 10? Perhaps, even top four?
Except boons gf she's trash
Not her butt though
Even down to Niedermeyer. Mark Metcalf even reprised the character in a pair of Twisted Sister videos.
Hoover is priceless. Trying to be the upstanding, articulate representative of a degenerate frat house...
yah but they got rights! and there not going to listen to anyone bad mouth the United States of America:::::::::::
"...a long tradition of existence...". I never caught that until now.
gentle men"""""""""""
so good that guy
otterman you tellem
Flounder's grin as he's walking out of the room shows he's figured out what being a Delta means...
Fat, Drunk & Stupid is no way to go through life son
I was in college when this flick was released. We had our own Delta House on campus called the X House.
A pig sty. It was unchartered and the scene of regular mayhem, according to local cops. Their motto
was " Every night is Friday night" and " warm beer and cold women" . I was only there once and woke up
in a puddle of my own vomit. They were proud of me.
Rollins?
What college?
I was just a kid
YAWN!
I was also a college freshman fall of '78, this movie & "Up In Smoke" came out w/in weeks of each other - we all went to see both - needless to say, my freshman year was a literal Riot - the college (Univ of Pittsburgh) had to call a special meeting of Freshman/Sophomore dorm residents at the basketball arena & plead "no more food fights - our maintenance budget for the entire academic year has already been used up". I also heard The Rolling Stones' Some Girls album every day of my freshman year. Every. Single. Day.
0:57 - 1:02
This might be one of the funniest parts of the movie. Every detail - Hoover's initial whisper, Boon's outburst, Hoover and Katie's reactions - is simply perfect. It isn't a grand joke, nor is it super special, but the cast and crew of Animal House made sure it was done as perfectly as you could expect. Kudos to them.
Jimmy, one of the many highlights of a very funny movie released in July 1978, reflecting an era of 15+ years earlier (1962-63). Supposedly according to the film's script, the parade at the end took place on Thu. Nov. 21, 1963, the day before President Kennedy was murdered. Love the float with the girls all dressed as Jacqueline, wearing her pink suits and iconic pillbox hats that she wore the next morning.
I heard that there was a joke planned where a statue of JFK was going to be part of the riot, and his head was damaged in the same way that he would later be shot. They decided that joke was in poor taste, though.
This is a truly classic scene, one of cinema comedy's golden moments... and a great counterpoint to Bluto's inspiring speech later on
I loved it too, I'm glad someone else saw the quality of that moment ;p
My favorite part of the movie. Laugh out loud funny.
There needs to be more red & black plaid flannel blazers in this world.
I know right, I love the ivy league style
No style is style.
No
That blazer needs to be banned and anybody who wants to bring it back needs to be banished from polite society
@@jeffreylasky2737 I don't know which comment is funnier, SantaDog81's 4 years ago, or yours 6 days ago! 😁 Agree with you though, that blazer is awful! lol
SantaDog81 Borrowed from Bobby Knight.
Such brilliant delivery from Tim Matheson. And John Vernon's responses are hilarious
One of the most priceless films of all time
What a great film. So many hilarious characters and great acting. It's one of those rare movies that makes you laugh every couple of minutes. The writing was brilliant.
Doug Kenney was one of those once in a generation talents
"The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules or took a few liberties with our female party guests. We did!"
*wink*
Wormer's face is priceless.
Hilarious cause Otter banged Wormer's wife
@@RockSmithStudio I love the headline Mrs Wormer Vacationing at Saratoga Springs. The way they said rehab in 63.
Lmao
I laughed so hard at that part.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
These scene perfectly captures why I like Animal House more than American Pie. Better writing and creativity.
Many would argue American Pie couldn’t be made without this film. They started the rowdy college film genre.
There is no comparison, it isn't even close.
"No More Fun of Any kind?" One of the greatest lines in movie history! Still my favorite movie of All Time John Marshall!
"Take it easy I'm in prelaw man. Thought you were in premed? What's the difference..."
mike cool words to live by.
Then, he went on to become a gynecologist.
I'm not kidding, I saw a follow-up "Where are they now" short film where they actually interviewed the actors in character. Dr. Eric Stratton was a gynecologist in Beverly Hills, Katy and Schoenstein married and divorced several times, Otis Day remembered playing the frat party and they found Mrs. Wormer drinking in a bar. Chip Diller was working as a missionary in Africa and sent in a tape recording where he answered the list of questions that he was sent.
Bluto's reaction at the end was gold.
But stupid
agree
Flounder's cheesy smile was pretty special too 😂😂😂
Take it easy, I'm in pre-law, man.
+deathproofpony I thought you were pre-med?
+rbcatlover17806 What's the difference?
Some Guy Thought you were pre-med. What's the difference?
Laws of psychics require no racism
Hoover: Don't screw around, they're serious this time.
Otter: Take it easy, I'm pre-law.
Boon: I thought you were pre-med.
Otter: What's the difference?
🤣🤣🤣 Classic
Reminds me of:
“The Germans?”
“Forget it-he’s rollin’.”
@@fever_spike dawg I’m wheezing. I can’t breath 💀
@@alessiodelcastillo1613 *breathe
to which every person who has been pre-law or pre-med would totally agree LOL
I found Otter's blazer after watching this-best purchase ever
Very prep.
I copped his outfit from the golf scene - light blue turtle neck sweater, plaid pants, just couldn’t find a cheap enough red cardigan
I found all of Otter’s outfits throughout this movie the best purchase ever.
So did I, it’s amazing
@@ryancudahy2949 link?
Flounder's smile as he leaves is priceless
Delta House was screwed no matter what happened. It was a kangaroo court!
My father was in college when this movie was released, and it still stands as one of his favorite movies. He quotes it all the time and even though he’s seen it 100 times, he still laughs. That’s why I find it so funny that my freshman year of college he chewed me out hard for failing atmospheric science.
You failed weather, dude. Give the old man a break.
Happy 70th Birthday Tim Matheson
Everything in this movie is just incredible and classic.
"The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules or took a few liberties with our female guests...we did *wink*"
"But, you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick, perverted individuals!" And this guy grew up to be (play) President Ronald Reagan in the tv-movie "Killing Reagan!" * The wonderful and funny actorTim Matheson, now 69 (then 30, playing a 21-yr-old senior in college), same age Reagan was when inaugurated. I first saw him playing a friend of Beaver Cleaver in two "Leave it to Beaver" episodes in the real 1962-63 years, when he was 14-15. htp://www.imdb.com/character/ch0166069
* www.imdb.com/title/tt5059126/combined "Killing Reagan"
www.imdb.com/name/nm0001513 Tim Matheson (b. Dec. 31, 1947)
#me too
freeguy77 he was also on The Virginian i think for maybe 2 years.
And if I'm not mistaken, the next movie Tim did after this was a G rated Disney film (The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again). That is the definition of contrast
For the record, Tim Matheson also played the villain bigamist "Alan Stanwyk" in the first "Fletch" movie. He tries to convince "Irwin Fletcher" (aka "Fletch", played by Chevy Chase) to kill him so he can pull off a life insurance scam -- but in the end, "Fletch" gets wise to his evil scheme. :-)
“No more Deltaaaahh” that gets me every time!
I just love Dean Wormer, an underappreciated warrior for order and decency in the unending battle against chaos, riot and general pandemonium. And all he has to work with are blunt tools like Greg Marmalarde, Niedermeyer and fricken' Chip Diller.
He was great as the Redleg commander in The Outlaw Josey Wales. His advice was Sage at the river crossing. Josey took the Redlegs on a Missorah Boat Ride when they didn't listen to Dean Wormer.
@@sideshowbob He was in Point Blank with Lee Marvin and had a funny part as a police officer in Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
@@sideshowbob
Not to be pedantic, but Fletcher ( Dean Wormer) wasn’t the redlegs commander; he was their reluctant ally. After the North’s betrayal of Jose Wales’ guérilla force following their surrender- a surrender Fletcher orchestrated-he felt that the only way to resolve the situation was to help the redlegs hunt down and kill Wales, despite having fought beside him and against the redlegs during the war. The redlegs commander was Terrill, played by Bill McKinney- a regular actor in Clint Eastwood movies.
@@ishtarg8 Guess I haven't watched the movie enough times lol. I did see the Mythbusters episode where they proved the shot that took out the ferry couldn't have happened. As a civil engineer I'd have added that those sorts of rope ferry's, similar to an overhead cable tram, would have had up to a dozen different ropes - some for restraint, some for propulsion - so taking 1 out wouldn't have been enough, plus to hold back that much weight, the ropes would be too Fat to take out w/1 rifle bullet.
how great is “ Chip Diller”? It just rolls off the tongue
they committed 25 acts of perversion, so profoundly disgusting, that decorum prohibits me from listing them here today....
Sheung Leung let me list them for you.
What a buzzkill
And you my friend are a party killer that’s why you don’t get invited
gold 😅😅
Belushi's expression at 2:38 is pure gold.
I laughed so hard the first time I saw this movie as a teenager, still a classic rip John Belushi
It’s always a laugh when these pop up on TH-cam feed. What a movie 😂
Was watching the house impeachment vote, and is popped in my head. Lol.
I'm watching the second presidential impeachment hearing 1 year later..and this scene popped into me head 😉
@@adm712 was watching the 25th amendment trial and this scene popped into me head
02:04 "You can do what you want to us but we're not going to sit here and listen to you bad mouth the United States of America!"
Gentlemen!!!
🇺🇸 🦅🤣
NO MORE FUN OF ANY KIND! lol, what a threat, hes gonna take away their fun.
The movie was released just prior to my first year in college, at the matriculation ceremony for our entering class, the university's president repeatedly tried to make it a point that "this place is NOT animal house". The film obviously made quite an impact back then! lol..
“Tell em Otter”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Take it easy I'm in pre-law man"
"Thought you were Pre-Med?"
"Whats the difference"
2:36 I love the look on John Belushi's face as he leaves. So good
BLOWJOB (cough) BLOWJOB (cough COUGH)
*cough* EAT ME *cough cough* EAT ME
0:59 gets me every damn time
who could thumbs down this - one of the greatest scenes in any mover ever?
One of the best damn movies ever! Still funny and cracks me up ! Love the wink at the Dean 😂😂😂
Otter: "Take it easy, I'm pre-law, man"
Hoover: "I thought you were pre-med."
Otter: "What's the difference?"
Poor Mandy trying to keep a straight face at 0:55!
Otter is taking a good natured swipe at jurisprudence here, but he really has a point. Nasty Dean Wormer's deciding "what's fair and what's not" and cutting poor Hoover off after only two sentences is hardly what democracy is supposed to be about.
+Guy Sharwood The gorgeous Mary Louise Weller, now 69. www.imdb.com/name/nm0919875
Guy, there is no democracy at colleges. Either the admin's run the show, or now it is increasingly the radical students who trample on everyone else.
Guess so. But all the more reason why they need frats like The Deltas.
EAT ME! coughs EAT ME! LMAO!!!!
The names on the chalkboard...notice how the names list their graduation year; the current seniors are listed as '63...then notice how Blutarsky's graduation date is listed as '60, '61, '62, '63. You can see it at 0:24.
Something about the 70's. It produced two of what may become the best comedies ever made, Animal House and Smokey and the Bandit. Even the TV SitComs were some of the best, Sanford & Son, MASH, All in the Family, WKRP in Cincinnati, etc..... I'm getting old but some of the comedies made in the 60's and 70's were IMHO the best. Hell, might as well throw in a few of the 60's SitComs as well like I Dream of Jennie, The Beverly Hillbillies, Hogans Heros, Bewitched, The Munsters and The Adams Family.
this is called nostalgia. watching these shows objectively as a 26 year old, the acting is very flat and the characters dont feel real. i am glad i grew up in the 2000s with much more realistic and moving movies.
"Point of parliamentary procedure!!" If I ever run afoul of the law I want Otter defending me..I GUARANTEE I'll be cleared of all charges!!
nyterpfan especially if he whips out the Chewbacca defense
Sorry but he became a Gynecologist not a lawyer...
@@Icabobify That doesn't make sense!
This movie is full of inspirational speeches and slogans. When I'm down, I just remember that we didn't quit when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. lol
@@quietcorner293 🤔
You brought it this time...Buster!
I love the line "a long tradition of existence to its members..."
LOL - the look Belushi gives on the way out!!
One of my favorite movies ever. Confrontation with the Omega House Deltas on trial. My favorite Dean Wormer's line also "No more fun of any kind !!!!!!"
I love this movie; also Fast Times at Ridgemont High!!!
Mr. Tbud 1937, but FTaRH wasn't nearly as sweet, or as funny as Animal House! Not to mention nostalgic for an era when people were freer than they are today with the insane War on Drugs (mostly cannabis), and un-winnable but expensive and deadly foreign wars.
eh, for me Fast Times was just as good
SurfAlien2 any of the comedies listed are better then today’s comedies
Don't forget Up in Smoke!!
Double-Feature it: Fast Times at Ridgemont High / Valley Girl. 🌸
If i ever have to appear in court,I will wear what Otter is wearing.
"...a long tradition of existence..."
I've seen this movie umpteen times and I never noticed that joke until now.
Prosecuting attorney.... "Twisted Sister? Wadda you gonna do with your life?!?!"
I wanna ROCK !
My 2nd most favorite movie comedy! Every scene is a classic, and this one kills me into laughaholicism! "No more fun of any kind!" --Dean Vernon Wormer
Fuckin Otter is the man haha
The look on the dean’s face when he’s told what they’re saying is comedy gold 😂
This speech = True Story
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS !OF THE MOVIE !CLASSIC FOREVER !
They started this clip a bit late. I love the very brief scene at the very beginning of this scene when the Delta House legal team is walking in and one of them holds up the briefcase as if it contains some magical documents that will completely exonerate them.
Drew Hunkins whats even funnier is its not a briefcase---its a dam medical bag 😂😂😂
Uh, it doesn't contain "documents". Please see the beginning of the movie to see what it contains. Hint: it may talk.
@@davidnicholson6680 I'll have to watch the movie again. Apparently, I've forgotten the part at the beginning of the movie that you reference.
No more fun of any kind! Still use that line to this day. Movie is timeless to be sure.
Beyond awesome funny movie hands down 💯💯💯💯💯 I was 11 years old when I saw this with my parents 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love John Vernon’s character.
Me too. I looked forward to every one of his scenes. So sinister.
I love how the other board members watch them all leave with no expression on their face 🤣🤣
You're not walking out on this one Mr! you're finished! no more delta! you've bought it this time buster!
NO MORE FUN OF ANY KIND!!! LOL
Most of my life I tried to be like Eric "Otter" Stratton from Animal House, but ended up living a life as Leopold "Butters" Stotch from South Park.
Aw hamburgers!
This is the most relatable thing I have ever seen in my life.
"Trust me, I'm pre law." "I thought you were pre med." "What's the difference?" Love it!
This movie never gets old, haha. I wished they still made movies like this. Hollywood can't handle it anymore- damn fun haters!
The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or whether we took a few liberties with our female party guests. We did. ( Wink ) LOL !!!!! Best line in the whole movie !!!!
Love the way that John Vernon raised his chin to look down on them and say "no more Delta!". It's a great little detail.
“a long tradition of existence” 😂
Every little detail in this movie is a gem!
that's a Tennessee State flag the dean was standing next to.
I noticed that years ago because Iam from Tennessee.
According to the producers, they wanted an Oregon state flag for the scene but couldn't find one. They found a Tennessee state flag instead, so that's why it appears in this scene. Since I hail from Tennessee, I had always wondered why that happened.
The movie was shot on the campus of the University of Oregon - but Faber College was supposed to be a college in the Northeast US where many of the movies’ writers went to school in the early 1960s.
Especially strange because I'm pretty sure Faber was supposed to be in Pennsylvania.
@@TPTGopherYeah, when they were showing slides of the new pledge candidates, they showed Kent Dorfman(Flounder) and said "He's a legacy from Harrisburg." Evidently referring to the capital of PA.
Pre-Law, Pre-Med...what's the difference??? It's my favorite line in this movie!
R.I.P John Belushi & Stephen Furst!
John Vernon
Along with John Vernon
@@scottknode898 And co-writer Doug Kinney (Stork)
BBellew3 yea your right Douglas Kenney as well who sadly passed away in 1980 from a fall off a cliff and was one of the co founders of the famous National Lampoon Magazine
Verna Bloom (Mrs Wormer) died this year. Cesare Danova, who played the mayor, died in 1992. Possibly some others in minor roles as well, as this was made in 1978. A 20 year old at that time would be around 61 today. Those 40+ would be in their 80s. John Landis, the director, will be 70 this coming year. Harold Ramis (probably best known as Egon in the Ghostbusters movie) was a writer for the movie. He died in 2014. Elmer Bernstein, who did the musical score for the movie, died in 2004 as did the film's DP, Charles Correll.
Otter - the perfect politician.
Geezus!! 1978?! Crap, feel so old.. was only 22 when AH hit the screens! It still makes me laugh to this day and relive some of my own college days .... & nights!! TOGA TOGA TOGA!!!! RIP John B.
After recently watching a clip of 101 Dalmatians, it randomly occurred to me that Roger is basically Hoover's animated alter ego.
Niedermeyer is a damn good actor!!!
Larry gave a great speech. He was recruited right out of college for the CIA and special operations.
You know your immature when your clapping & cheering for your lawyer in court. XD 🤣
This movie never gets old
When movies were movies and nobody was offended.😀
have to love Otter's loud sport coat
This scene was pivotal in Animal House.
You knew they were gonna win.
no more fun of any kind
Sounds like marriage!
Watch carefully and the dean breaks character and starts laughing at the end of the badmouthing the USA line.
Karen Allen was so cute!
I used to get her and Brooke Adams mixed up back in the day.
One of the best movies ever. Watched it with my dad and when I have a kid I look forward to doing the same thing.
In 1997 I had Anatomy and Physiology here! Lol.
Such an iconic movie.
Never gets old...
“But we’re not going to sit here and listen to you bad mouth, the United States of America! Gentlemen!”
"....long tradition of existence to the university and to the community at large...."
Otter... Jonny quest!!!
