Animal House	comment	Animal House is a classic 1978 comedy film about the wacky hijinx of the members of the Delta fraternity at "Faber College" in 1962, as they fight against the snooty Omegas and the uptight dean Vernon Wormer.Directed by John Landis, Animal House launched the film career of Saturday Night Live cast member John Belushi. Inspired dozens of Follow the Leader takes on the raunchy college frat movie, including some by National Lampoon themselves. Spawned a spinoff TV series called Delta House, which only lasted one season. And perhaps most importantly, revived the popularity of movies featuring teenagers and younger twentysomethings, which had been largely absent from movie screens since American Graffiti, five years earlier.The cast is filled with either breakout stars of the era or future stars. John Belushi plays Bluto, the most anarchic of the Deltas. Tim Matheson plays Otter, Delta House's unofficial leader. Kevin Bacon made his film debut as Chip, an Omega pledge. Peter Riegert is Boon, the one Jew in otherwise very WASP-y Delta House. Karen Allen is Boon's girlfriend Katy. Bruce McGill, who has since appeared in more than a hundred films as a character actor, plays D-Day in one of his earliest roles. John Vernon, on the other hand, was already a veteran character actor with almost two decades experience, but Dean Vernon Wormer is one of his most memorable roles. The one established star in the film is Donald Sutherland, who has a small but notable part as a hippie teacher.Written by a guy from Harvard, advised by a guy from Dartmouth; and if you happen to visit the latter you can buy all sorts of Animal House-themed memorabilia in the co-op.May hold the record for most releases ever on the notorious MCA DiscoVision label, and also one of the earliest 2-hour videodisc releases.

Animal House / int_11cdc5d8	type	White Anglo-Saxon Protestant
Animal House / int_11cdc5d8	comment	White Anglo-Saxon Protestant: This is the entire ethos of Omega House, right down to the way the characters dress and (sometimes) how they talk. Delta House, while almost as monochromatic (they have precisely one black member, which is one more than the Omegas), is at least a blend of more sympathetic and less stereotypical WASPs and various "ethnic whites" (including one possible Jew).

Animal House / int_129749df	comment	All Men Are Perverts: This applies to virtually every Delta House member, save Hoover and D-Day. And even those who aren't unscrupulous skirt-chasers don't have any objection to the others doing it. Flounder (somehow) has a cute girlfriend he seems to genuinely care about, but isn't above cheating on her (or attempting to). Pinto continues seeing Clorette even after finding out how young she is, and Otter is, well, Otter. Even Boon, the supposed monogamist of the group, goes along with Otter's "Fawn Leibowitz" scheme, but the next day gets angry with Katy for cheating on him.

After all, one might as well scapegoat institutions of higher learning in general for allowing such organizations to exist at all — and, by extension, one might also condemn the whole country for mismanaging its national educational system.

Of the Delta leaders, he's the only one not involved in planning the crazy schemes, and in fact literally begs them not to throw the infamous Toga Party. He also has the highest GPA in Delta, although that's not saying much. Of course he goes along with everything once Otter, the true leader of the chapter, gets the ball rolling. Katy is the Only Sane Woman; her first scene with Boon makes it clear she's tired of her true love and fellow senior acting like an immature, drunken freshman. She also excuses herself from the Toga Party, and she plays no part in the climactic Homecoming parade. Sadly, her disenchantment leaves her vulnerable to the "mentorship" of Jennings.

He goes over the line by also informing the Delta's local draft boards that they are now eligible for military service, for no reason other than malice. The movie is set in the fall of 1962; less than two years later, the Gulf of Tonkin incident would make this even worse than it seemed at the time.

(It was actually filmed around the University of Oregon; the parade at the end rolled down the streets of nearby Cottage Grove.) The film mentions the mayor being the mayor of Amherst, though... and the local women's college is named after Emily Dickinson, who was a resident of Amherst and attended the all-women's Mount Holyoke College nearby before her agoraphobic self-isolation. The Tennessee State Flag is displayed in the auditorium during the court scene, one of the rooms has a Confederate Flag on the wall, and the only notable accent in the film is Babs who has a strong Southern accent.

The tale Otter makes up to explain to Fred Dorfman why he'll never see his beloved Continental again. Apparently, Otter was right; it did work better than the truth, although you would think Fred would know his old frat better than that. Or perhaps he does remember his college days and decides to cut his younger brother as much slack as he himself needed as a Delta.

Partially averted with the Omega fraternity, whose members act like pretty typical college bullies.... until the Rainbow Motel incident, that is. College professors don't hound you about late papers (and also don't call them "reports"). If you don't turn something in, that's your problem. It's one less paper for them to read. Bells don't ring at the end of class, either. Dean Wormer appears to function more as the President of the University than as a real-world Dean. A Dean of Students would be responsible for dealing with discipline problems, but would not have the far-reaching authority that Wormer has: "There is a little-known codicil in the Faber College Constitution which gives the Dean unlimited power to preserve order in time of campus emergency."

Animal House / int_47e0dd3b	type	Cool People Rebel Against Authority
Animal House / int_47e0dd3b	comment	It also shows that the Deltas are not quite Cool Rebel types; they just think they are. For example, the band they hire to play doesn't actually like them — or at least, the band's so shocked to see them in a nightclub that caters to African-Americans they don't acknowledge Boon's friendly greeting. Likewise, Otter, the basis of the teen comedy version of The Casanova, is not quite as slick a ladies' man as he seems; his only on-screen romantic moves are Pity Sex resulting in Coitus Interruptus. Mandy even tells him to his face that sex with him "wasn't that great". (He just looks stunned.) Even the Official Couple, Boon and Katy, are ultimately shown to be a poor match — Boon wants to avoid growing up, especially the responsibilities, as long as possible, while Katy can't wait to embrace adulthood — and the end credits show that their marriage lasted only five years. Much of this is because the film is actually an irreverent satire of the nostalgia-driven teen dramas of the 1970s, most notably American Graffiti, something later teen Sex Comedies missed because they were merely aping the surface features of Animal House.

Further, the prices shown for the vegetables at the Food King are very high by 1962 standards because they're 1978 prices, and some logos seen weren't adopted by their users in real life until later. This is understandable due to the movie's minimal budget; however, it affects even some of the more iconic elements: "Louie Louie" wasn't released until 1964. Fred Dorfman's car, which becomes the Deltas' "Deathmobile", is a 1964 Lincoln Continental Otis's guitarist is playing a Les Paul Deluxe, not made until 1968.

He also gladly stands back and observes during the "Food King" run and the road trip, and was off doing god-knows-what with his motorcycle at the beginning when the party was already in full-swing. Whatever D-Day was up to the whole time, it was bound to be interesting. And at the very end, as he's roaring off in a stolen police car: "Daniel Simpson Day: whereabouts unknown." Which makes Bruce McGill's later roles all the funnier: on Rizzoli & Isles, he became a Boston police officer, and referenced his antics in college several times.

Of course, the filmmakers were probably just emphasizing what a Sociopathic Soldier (flavor 1) and aspiring Colonel Kilgore Neidermeyer is.note And in any case, .30-06 ammunition for rifles including the M1 can be legally purchased by civilians in the US. Flounder and his fellow ROTC cadets are shown doing jumping-jacks and push-ups in their dress uniforms. This would never happen in real life: ROTC cadets have separate attire for physical training.note Of course, that also could be to show what a martinet Neidermeyer is. In one scene, Neidermeyer salutes Diller when he rides up; properly, Diller should salute him as the senior officer, and Neidermeyer should then return the salute.

(The flag in the student court hearing appears to be that of Tennessee.) Also, Otter identifies himself as "Frank Lymon, from Amherst," which is a bit of a long drive to Pennsylvania to be believable in-universe, though not impossible. Considering the writers were Harvard alumni, it's likely that Emily Dickinson college is a satire of Smith College or Mt. Holyoke, which are just a stone's throw away from Amherst and a quick drive from Harvard. The film was shot on the campus of the University of Oregon. Dean Faber's office was the university president's actual office. The Delta House was a former Phi Sigma Kappa frat house, which was then empty; it was torn down in 1986. The club where the Deltas see Otis Day and the Knights again is the Dexter Lake Club, Dexter, OR.

Animal House / int_8767b1f3	comment	Black-and-Gray Morality: The Omegas are snobbish, bigoted, mean, and sneaky. The Deltas are not — but they're still far, far from model citizens. Let's face it, they're petty criminals at best. On the other hand, the Omegas are also openly elitist, racist and antisemitic, as well as hypocrites (they set the Deltas up to fail while cheating with a fake exam stencil, then use the real exam themselves) and violent bullies, if you're alone & isolated and they outnumber you. The Deltas have one Ambiguously Jewish member, are friendly to black people (which is notable considering the movie is set in the early sixties) and Flounder's older brother, Fred, may or may not have been gay (depending on your interpretation of the phrase "closet case"). In short, as one critic wrote of Huck Finn, the Deltas have none of the virtues except the essential ones, and all of the vices except the unforgivable ones; the Omegas, just the opposite. The conflict between the Deltas and Dean Wormer. Yes, Wormer is a corrupt jackass under the influence of an even-more-corrupt mayor. Yes, he's ignoring everything the Omegas do while putting the Deltas under a completely illegal "double-secret probation," using one set of students to spy on another and notifying expelled students' draft boards just to Kick the Dog. But the Deltas are a group of petty criminals and vandals and they've all more than earned their expulsion from Faber College. Even so, Wormer and the Omegas are such slimeballs that the audience are supposed to remain sympathetic to the Deltas.

Animal House / int_890d4ef2	comment	Humiliation Conga: Dean Vernon Wormer, the college town's corrupt Mayor, and Omega House and all their supporters (not to mention more than a few innocent bystanders) get an extravagant collective Conga at the end â€” Greg Marmalard gets punched out and knocked off a parade float, Neidermeyer gets scooped up by a giant papier-mache hand and carried off down the street, Chip Diller gets literally trampled by a crowd into a human pancake, Babs gets stripped to her underwear, and Mandy gets kidnapped by Bluto himself (although her facial expression at the end implies she found this not so bad after all - they eventually get married). Wormer and the Mayor themselves (along with their wives) are catapulted into a pile of rubbish by Delta House's dreaded "Deathmobile," and the Mayor sees his automobile showroom smashed up by part of a runaway float. This results in several hilarious Villainous Breakdowns, including Kevin Bacon's famous "Remain calm. All is well. ALL IS WELL!".

Animal House / int_8b4f491c	comment	Villainy-Free Villain: Dean Wormer is an unpleasant authoritarian type who, at the beginning at least, is merely trying to enforce campus rules against hilarious but admittedly proto-delinquent frat boys. Part of his problem is that he's under pressure from the town's mayor, a genuinely evil amalgam of Mafia don and authoritarian plutocrat, who goes so far as to threaten to have Wormer physically crippled if the Deltas do anything to embarrass him. While Wormer never directly does anything illegal (at least by 1962 standards; the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, better known as FERPA, of 1974 would change that), he utterly tramples academic ethics by enlisting one group of students to spy on another, running a kangaroo court in which the spied-upon have no reasonable chance to address the charges against them (some of which are even false), and justifies all this with a "double-secret probation."

Animal House / int_8f36080d	comment	Artistic License â€“ Education: Classrooms in Faber have bells that ring at the end of each class, which is practically unheard-of in real American universities — since university students are adults, and they don't need to be formally dismissed from class before they can leave. Schoolbells would be useless in a university anyway, since nearly all university classes start and end at different times. Jennings is only ever referred to as Mr. Jennings, implying that he doesn't have a doctorate. In a real university literature department, having a PhD is more-or-less mandatory for getting offered a full professorship, so he would presumably be called Dr. Jennings. It is barely possible that he earned a Master of Fine Arts (MFA), which is a terminal creative degree and would certainly qualify him for a job at a school like Faber. Still, even for adjunct faculty in a literature department, getting a teaching position without a PhD is exceptionally rare.

Yet the only real reason for this show of contempt was Flounder's lousy social skills; apparently, acting a little different is a greater crime than getting drunk all the time and having dismally low grades. Sad to say, though, this is Truth in Television, as anyone with Aspergers/on the autistic spectrum can tell you. Somewhat mollified by how accepted he later becomes by the frat.

Animal House / int_c06ec675	comment	The Omegas are snobbish, bigoted, mean, and sneaky. The Deltas are not — but they're still far, far from model citizens. Let's face it, they're petty criminals at best. On the other hand, the Omegas are also openly elitist, racist and antisemitic, as well as hypocrites (they set the Deltas up to fail while cheating with a fake exam stencil, then use the real exam themselves) and violent bullies, if you're alone & isolated and they outnumber you. The Deltas have one Ambiguously Jewish member, are friendly to black people (which is notable considering the movie is set in the early sixties) and Flounder's older brother, Fred, may or may not have been gay (depending on your interpretation of the phrase "closet case"). In short, as one critic wrote of Huck Finn, the Deltas have none of the virtues except the essential ones, and all of the vices except the unforgivable ones; the Omegas, just the opposite.

Also, Otter identifies himself as "Frank Lymon, from Amherst," which is a bit of a long drive to Pennsylvania to be believable in-universe, though not impossible. Considering the writers were Harvard alumni, it's likely that Emily Dickinson college is a satire of Smith College or Mt.

Animal House / int_db454784	comment	Offscreen Inertia: Played with in the conclusion, which wraps up with a "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue in which each of the major characters gets "freeze-framed" in some sort of iconic pose. The freezes are meant to leave us with lasting impressions of the characters, but then the subtitles assure us that other things happen to them in the future. All are ironic, and at least one is bittersweet: Boon and Katy will eventually get divorced, even though we see them frozen in the act of embracing on the street in an apparently happily-ever-after scenario (and the romantic music doesn't help).

Animal House / int_dda40b97	comment	Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch: Inverted Trope. Mandy is at the top of the female "snobs": Greg's girlfriend, head cheerleader, and member of the respectable sorority. Still, other than giggling at Pinto and Flounder (who, let's face it, are comically Fish out of Water at the Omega house) and putting Otter in his place (also at least somewhat deserved), she doesn't do anything all that bitchy. Which is why, when Babs — who is much closer to the 1962 stereotype — lies about Mandy to Greg so that Babs can get Greg to herself, Mandy has more of our sympathy than otherwise. (Of course, it helps that she's better off without Greg too.)

They decided to make her 13, expecting just such an objection so that they could propose a revised age of 16 as a reasonable compromise. To their surprise, the studio didn't complain at all.

Animal House / int_f0e85546	type	Unbuilt Trope
Animal House / int_f0e85546	comment	Unbuilt Trope: This film actually does a lot in deconstructing Wacky Fratboy Hijinx for comedy. Throughout the film, it's pointed out how wild and destructive the Deltas are, doing things that no sane college administration would allow; things that would get real college students in the 2020s expelled or even arrested. Though the Deltas do ultimately get their revenge on the Dean and the snobbish Omegas by the end, it's a Pyrrhic Victory â€“- in spite of it all, they're expelled from the college. It also shows that the Deltas are not quite Cool Rebel types; they just think they are. For example, the band they hire to play doesn't actually like them — or at least, the band's so shocked to see them in a nightclub that caters to African-Americans they don't acknowledge Boon's friendly greeting. Likewise, Otter, the basis of the teen comedy version of The Casanova, is not quite as slick a ladies' man as he seems; his only on-screen romantic moves are Pity Sex resulting in Coitus Interruptus. Mandy even tells him to his face that sex with him "wasn't that great". (He just looks stunned.) Even the Official Couple, Boon and Katy, are ultimately shown to be a poor match — Boon wants to avoid growing up, especially the responsibilities, as long as possible, while Katy can't wait to embrace adulthood — and the end credits show that their marriage lasted only five years. Much of this is because the film is actually an irreverent satire of the nostalgia-driven teen dramas of the 1970s, most notably American Graffiti, something later teen Sex Comedies missed because they were merely aping the surface features of Animal House. On the other hand, all of the Deltas are listed as members of Faber classes in the epilogue. Mrs. Wormer reveals in "Where Are They Now: A Delta Alumni Update" that Dean Wormer was fired after the homecoming parade debacle, thus whoever they got to replace him permitted the Deltas to return, for reasons unknown and probably unknowable. Upon graduation, it was the Deltas who, within their own personalities and limitations, achieved respectable-to-remarkable success — two in professions for which they must have not only graduated college, but also medical or law school: sensitivity counselor, National Lampoon editor, public defender, gynecologist, and United States Senator and eventually President.

Both Mandy and Babs start out this way. One gets better.. On the other hand, Mandy's opposite Katy is just as attractive in an All-American girl way, and she is by far the most intelligent, mature, and kindhearted of the Delta crew or, for that matter, anyone else in the story.

Later in the cafeteria, Bluto spots the ball in someone's discarded soup, picks it out, and eats it. The speed limit sign seen in the background of Delta House could count as a short-term one. A few minutes after it first appears, D-Day rides in on his motorcycle. The epilogue reveals that Babs became a tour guide at Universal Studios Hollywood. After the end credits, there's a title card: "When in Hollywood Visit Universal Studios (Ask for Babs)". This variant of the advertisement would also appear in Landis' other films such as The Blues Brothers and An American Werewolf in London. According to an Urban Legend, asking for Babs at the studio gate would get you either free admission or a discount. However, this was dropped sometime in the 1990s. At the very beginning of the film, Pinto and Flounder walk past a statue of Faber's founder, Emil Faber (including the plaque inscribed with Mr. Faber's famous maxim, "Knowledge is good"). At the very end of the film, the head of said statue adorns the hood of the Deathmobile.
