Old School (film)/YMMV

These things about Old School are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.


 * Ensemble Darkhorse: Blue stole the spotlight from the other fraternity members.
 * Even Better Sequel: This film got better reviews than Phillips' first film Road Trip.
 * Fountain of Memes: Frank the Tank is one of the more quotable Will Ferrell characters.
 * Harsher in Hindsight: Blue's death is harder to watch now that Patrick Crenshaw who played Blue died in 2005.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight:
 * Perry Reeves and Jeremy Piven would later reunite in Entourage.
 * In this film, Will Ferrell's character cheers for a character named Blue. In Megamind, he voices a man with blue skin.
 * Speaking of Will Ferrell, Frank wanted Snoop Dogg to bring his green hat. Later in 2003 with Elf, Ferrell plays Buddy, who usually wears a green hat.
 * Memetic Mutation:
 * "We're going streaking!"
 * "Bring your green hat!" Can be used for Saint Patrick's Day.
 * "Yes! I am back!" was a popular GIF source in the late 2010s.
 * Signature Line: "You're my boy, Blue!"
 * Signature Scene: Where Frank is streaking.
 * Signature Song: "Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake.
 * Spiritual Successor: Can be considered the Millennial take of Animal House.
 * Tear Jerker: Blue's funeral is quite sad for a comedy film.
 * Values Resonance: The men at the fraternity are quite diverse, ranging from old people like Blue to Asian, Hispanic and Black people.
