PCU

A college comedy film that could be described as Animal House meets the clashing of right-wing and left-wing politics of The Nineties.

Tom is a pre-freshman having a visit to Port Chester University before he attends it properly. Hilarity Ensues as he manages to piss off half the campus, with his only safety between two groups, which themselves hate each other: The groups are Balls and Shaft, a right-wing fraternity that went underground after fraternities were banned from the school, and The Pit, a group that split off from Balls and Shaft and just wants to goof around (and to get around the ban, it doesn't call itself a fraternity).

However, the fraternity has the allegiance of the left-wing school president, at least in the sense of both hating The Pit. And they have a good plan on getting rid of it.

This 1994 film starred Jeremy Piven as Droz and David Spade as Rand, with a special appearance by George Clinton.

Not to be confused with Pawtucket Credit Union.

Provides Examples of:
"Droz: Oh, come on! That was way more than a hundred pounds!"
 * As Himself: George Clinton and the Parliament-Funkadelic
 * Animal Wrongs Group: Flower and her crowd.
 * Batman Gambit / Xanatos Gambit: The plan to get rid of The Pit was to slap them with all the unpaid bills for their building . Its the former for being based on what The Pit residents would do and the latter for benefiting whether they did it or not.
 * Later Droz pulls a Batman Gambit of his own,.
 * Dawson Casting: Nobody in this movie passes for college-aged. Jeremy Piven's character is at least said to be in his seventh year of college.
 * Dean Bitterman: So much, that her bosses are just looking for an excuse to get rid of her.
 * Double Meaning Title: Could stand for "Port Chester University" or "Politically Correct University".
 * Must Have Caffeine: Droz is introduced waking up from a bender and repeatedly screaming, "Coffee!"
 * Everyone Chasing You: Tom halfway through the movie, and . Tom even exploits this to get enough people to come to the party.
 * Freudian Excuse: Played With. While it's not made clear if Rand was any less of a Jerkass before he roomed with Droz, it's shown in a flashback that Droz was a pretty horrible room mate.
 * Hope Spot: The end of the party, where even the "Caine–Hackman Theory" was proven.
 * Hypocritical Humor: The last student protest in the film:
 * I Take Offense to That Last One: Droz after getting in trouble for throwing "a hundred pounds of meat at a peaceful vegan protest."


 * A Party - Also Known As an Orgy: One character invoked this trope by calling the party "Everyone Gets Laid", which at least sent the freshmen running to there.
 * Plot Hole: George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic play a huge set with all their instruments and equipment yet somehow manage to not blow the dodgy fuses of the Pit.
 * Political Correctness Gone Mad / Strawman Political: Both tropes are spoofed.
 * The Stoner: The Frisbee team. They even named the team's dog Blotter.
 * Straw Feminist: The "Womynists".
 * Suckiness Is Painful: Droz locks most of the staff in a room with "Afternoon Delight" playing. After a while, they start pounding on the door, and then break windows to escape.
 * Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Or, in this case, changing causes. Flower and company, again.
