The best is when Wormer tells Pinto that his 1.2 GPA is at the top of the Delta pledge class--Bluto and Flounder give him these "congratulations, way to go" looks like it's some kind of noteworthy scholastic achievement!! This movie RULES FOREVER!!
My mother cracked up at that point in the theatre in 1978. I went with her to see it because my younger siblings asked to see the movie. Her verdict was "no".
"double secret probation" comes in a distant second as likely the most repeated line from this movie....because there's always a floundering idiot who fits this description in everyone's life :)

Steven Furst. A college student in the tumultuous early 1960’s, and a college student during a thermonuclear apocalypse in the early 1980’s. What fantastic school reunions he must have had.
IMO, one of the best lines in the movie was actually from the scene following this one. "I can't believe I threw up in front of Dean Wormer." "Face it kid. You threw up ON Dean Wormer."
I had a buddy who studied for and took tests completely shitfaced. He pulled a B+ in the class. Pretty sure the only reason he didn't get an A was because he puked in the middle of the classroom during the final.
When he tells them that he has notified their local draft boards about their eligibility for military service, I just imagine a humorous yet pained "ohhhhh..." coming from theaters in 1978, considering what the country had recently been through...
I graduated from the U. of Florida in 1965 (and went from there to the Vietnam War). This movie makes me laugh and get depressed and angry all at the same time. It's not how we acted at the time, but it's how we felt. It's hard to explain.
"Dorfman...0.2" Mr. Blutarski...0.0" Amazingly funny. On my H.S. Final Exams I got 4 E's a D and a C. My parents took back my luggage set as a H.S. grad gift and told me "to walk". I ended up at Michigan so miracles do happen.
But no one cared about your last semester in hs. By then you already had been accepted where you were going and if you were really hopeless there really were Faber College type schools
@@Mark-sj3xb He wanted them dead! "And I'm sure you will be happy to know, I've notified your local draft boards that you are all, ALL now eligible for military service!" The 2nd emphasis on ALL (with his wonderful sneering at them), just kills it good!
Daniel Simpson Day….. has no grade point average. The way he says it always gets me. D-Day is the only character he referred to by his full name without calling him “Mister”. I wonder why that was
Great scene. I came to see the 'zero point zero'. However, I've always been a little confused because Wormer tells Kruger he's at the *top of the pledge class* with his 1.2 GPA. Then, he says Hoover has a 1.6. Am I missing something?
LMAO Blutoski has a GPA of 0.0 meaning he completed his courses but got everything wrong. Meanwhile, Day just didn't finish his courses at all. Hey at least Blutoski tried
He's brilliant...and civics is about being good citizens regardless of race. Problem is we're indoctrinating one group to see themselves as discriminators and the other as stupid victims.
He expelled them for midterm grades. Midterm grades are not official grades. Colleges can't expel you for your midterm unofficial grades. Anyone else realize Dean Wormers mistake?
The Army of 1963 was not the politically correct circle jerk of today! They would have run it off of him, then he would get Korea or Germany, and if he pissed off his Sargent enough he would be shipped off to MACV!
Daniel has no grade point average. All courses incomplete. When I was in high school, I was part of the key club. During parent night we would help out with passing the report cards to parents but we even peeked at the grades because they weren't in envelopes, just folded. A lot students had incompletes. I remember one student had all F's and Incompletes in every subject except gym which was a C. I heard one girl, a junior had no credits in any courses except in gym and chorus. The guidance counselor told the girl's mother that there was no way she was going to graduate and that she could go to a jr. college and get a GED but she wasn't going to get her high school diploma. The mother was outraged and told him that he was wrong but he calmly said, "Ma'am, I have been a counselor for 35 years. I've come across many students like your daughter and I can assure you, I know what I'm talking about." My high school had a lot of students that didn't take schoolwork seriously. They only did well in gym. Well, doing well in gym isn't going to get you far. Even if you want to become a professional athlete, you still have to go to college for any hopes of that because recruiters usually only look for young athletes on college teams. They don't look for possible candidates in high schools.
I’ve quoted that line 10,000 playing golf with my buddies, out drinking, at sporting events. And they’ve quoted it just as often. Possibly the most quoted line in movie history. Poor Dorfman!
0.0 GPA. So that means Bluto never showed up for class and never turned in any work. If his academic scores and coursework were this bad, he would have been called in to speak with his professors and would have been dismissed from his courses as well as would have other academic penalties would have been imposed on him. There would have been no way that he would been allowed to attend any courses before this point, much less would have been allowed to take the midterm exams. Then the decision would have been made that he would have to withdraw from Faber College.
0.0 means all his grades are F - not necessaily that he didn't turn in work. Also, I don't know where you went to college, but in my experience professors absolutely do not call in students to speak about substandard work. They regard the progress of the student as entirely the student's responsibiity.
@@blueodum Most colleges and universities insist that students have to maintain at the least a minimum of a 2.0 GPA to remain in good academic standing and to keep being enrolled. The Deltas are already on academic probation. So realistically, they would or should be getting notifications and summons from advisors and other members of the school administration that they would need to drastically improve their grades or face expulsion or having to withdraw from school. Based on my academic experience and from other people that that I know, participation is included as being a part of students' grades for a class. So a student gets credit just from showing up. Yes, professors do regard student progress as entirely their own responsibility, but they would still voice their concerns to advisors, etc. who would be in contact with those students with such bad academic scores and coursework. Funding and grants from alumni and government is determined by how successful a college/university is and how many students graduate. So it would not be in a college/university's interest to have students who are performing that poorly.
Those of us who are old can appreciate the " I've notified your draft board you are all eligible for military service". Being drafted and sent to Vietnam was a real threat.
@@annmarie7488 I understand you are being flippant, but sending young men off to die horrible deaths in Vietnam isn't any kind of therapy session, and really isn't amusing or enlightening in how you put it.
This movie is set in 1962, 3 years before Johnson committed conventional ground forces to Vietnam. Still though, life in the military back then even in peace time was pretty austere from what I understand of that era.
@@MaidenUtah1 when I was growing up late 70's--80's the military z especially benefits were NOTHING like they are today. Today you get BIG BOY $$$$ from the military in pay , pensions, disability benefits, etc
John Vernon was wonderful as Dean Wormer. It proved that an acknowledged character actor who is well known for villainous roles can create comic gold when given the opportunity. His work here was worthy of an Oscar nomination.
When they shot this scene they made him keep his head down so he didn't know what Belushi was going to do, hence the genius timing in Mr Blu.........MISTER Blutarsky
If Dean Wormer were the same chronological age in 1962 as actor John Vernon was in 1978 then he would have probably been a WWII vet and enraged at these young punks screwing around in the world he fought to preserve.
One of my fave actors since i was 5 when i saw Ernest Goes to Camp in theaters! he was great in Dirty Harry, Killer Klowns and Rupert Thorn on Batman the animated series
After decades of laughs I’ve just now managed to notice how Vernon uses a pair of prop glasses to underscore his character’s utter contempt in this scene. I swear, it’s like watching Fred Astaire dance with the broom. An underrated actor, indeed.
They're not historically correct, but what the hell. You are absolutely correct in terms of Vernon's contributions to a great film. The pause in his final line of this vignette to restate, "...all" is great stuff.
I especially love the very slight extra pause of enjoyment he takes at 1:30 when delivering the draft board line. What a great actor John Vernon was. (Also, a pro - like Brando - who wasn't too fixated on memorization as a very close look at the 'grade report' on his desk looks very much like his script. Who cares though because as you said, he was virtuoso with delivery. :) )
I can still remember seeing this in the theater right after its release. One of the all time great comedic pauses "Mr. Blu.....Mr. Blutarsky"... The audience roared at the shot of Belushi with the pencils!
The "fat, drunk and stupid" part is what this scene is mostly remembered for, but I like where he "congratulates" Kroger and Bluto thinks he's sincere.
"Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son." This is a quote my dad loves to use with me, as I'm in my post-graduate life.
...but it's a great way to go through college.
RIP Flounder

So he has the worst of them all.
I thought he said "all courses are complete" and that he graduated but was still bumbing around the fraternity.
Same actor who plays the CIA director in "W." Probably not a coincidence...
Max Bruce McGill who played D-Day has been in many movies usually as cop and military officials and villains
John Vernon made this whole scene. How John Landis decided to cast him was a stoke of genius.
@Paul Kryder Imagine this scene with Woody Allen:
“You know, uh, I’ve notified your local, uh, draft boards that you’re all now, heh, uh, eligible for military service”.
Also, Vernon had that deep, menacing voice that Woody Allen could never do. He was a perfect choice as a villain in this movie and I’m so glad that he played it straight.

I can still remember seeing this in the theater right after its release. One of the all time great comedic pauses "Mr. Blu.....Mr. Blutarsky"... The audience roared at the shot of Belushi with the pencils!
The best scene 😅😂😂
He was told not to look at Belushi right up until that moment for a genuine reaction to whatever he was going to do lol
@@shardyshaw He's a legend.
Seven years of college down the drain!
@@earthman-br5zi Now that I think of it, I spent 7 years getting my undergrad, too! Those were the days!
The "fat, drunk and stupid" part is what this scene is mostly remembered for, but I like where he "congratulates" Kroger and Bluto thinks he's sincere.
and dont forget Killer Klowns from Outer Space a true classic
No--the vomit scene is what this is remembered for!
I like when he tells Hoover "a fine example you set"........i use that quote all the time
0.0 LOL!
0.0 is the correct answer
"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son"
Love how he just writes him off with no care whatsoever.
Today I Say to Obnoxious Kids 18 & Up "High, Drunk and Stupid is No Way to Go Life, Yo".LOL (smile)
I can't believe I threw up in front of Dean Wormer.
No one could have played Wormer better than John Vernon.
kyokogodai He was hilarious ....
