Animal House/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Animal House. "Assume the Position!" "Thank you sir! May I have another?" Made it even funnier when you see who plays the guy getting spanked.
  • The food fight scene. Full stop.
    • The whole cafeteria scene of Bluto tasting every dish the cafeteria has on display. You will never see a funnier Jell-O eating scene in your life...
  • Almost anything dean wormer says.

It's about time someone put there foot down, and that foot... is me

Frat boy: Delta house is already on probation, Sir.
Wormer: Oh. Then from this point forward they are on double secret probation!

    • And my personal favorite
  • Dean Wormer's desire to see Delta House kicked off campus forever:

Dean Wormer: I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of Fizzies into the swim meet? Who delivered the medical school cadavers to the alumni dinner? Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. (dramatic pause) Every spring, the toilets... explode.

  • Bluto, did you just chug an entire bottle of Jack Daniels?
  • How could you not mention the greatest Rousing Speech in all of film? The whole speech is epic, but especially this:

Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over till WE say it's over! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

  • Otter and Boon practice their golf swings.

Boon: I gotta work on my game.
Otter: No, no, no, don't think of it as work. The whole point is... just to enjoy yourself.
Neidermeyer: (screams in the distance)

    • And shortly before:

Boon (after watching Neidermeyer verbally abuse Flounder): A vicious mother, isn't he?
Otter: He can't do that to our pledges.
Boon: Only we can do that to our pledges!

  • "Do you mind if we dance with your dates?"
  • When they accidentally kill the horse. "HOLY SHIT!"
    • With the following scene of Dean Wormer and the town's mayor matter-of-factly discussing the upcoming parade with the horse's legs sticking straight up on the opposite side of the room.
    • It was the only time this Troper's dad relented to let his very young and impressionable sons watch an R-rated movie at that age. Just this scene, though. Once the chainsaw revved up, we got kicked out of the living room. I love you, Dad.
  • "I can't believe I threw up in front of Dean Wormer..."
    • "Face it Kent. You threw up ON Dean Wormer!"
      • He did ask for it. "OUT WITH IT!"
  • The Delta Pledge and Delta Naming scene.

Bluto: Dorfman, I've given this a lot of thought. From now on, your Delta Tau name is... Flounder.

  • I gave my love... a cherry... that had no stone... Cue Guitar Smash.
  • During the Misfit Mobilization Moment when the Deltas are transforming Fred's car into the Death Tank, Bluto measures the front window's width and length carefully with a tape measure... before he picks up a hammer and starts smashing it in.
  • "Zero. . . point. . . zero"
  • 'Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.'
  • When they walk into the club. "We are going to die."
  • "THANK YOU, GOD!"
