Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} The [[Frat Pack]] is a colloquial fan term for a group of actor/writer/director/all-round-movie-guys who specialise in comedy. The name "Frat Pack" originates from one of their early defining works, ''Old School''; not as a phrase dropped in-show but as a reference to their [[Man Child\|post-teen]] [[Refuge in Audacity\|juvenile]] brand of comedy, while alluding to names like "[[Rat Pack]]" or "[[Brat Pack (actors)\|Brat Pack]]" given to other known groups of actors. The Frat Pack comprises (to date) [[Ben Stiller]], [[Jack Black]], [[Will Ferrell]], Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson and [[Steve Carell]], while boasting a plethora of Pledges (rising talents), Sorority Sisters (female friends), fellow ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' alumni and other friends including Christine Taylor, Justin Long, [[Judd Apatow]], [[Amy Poehler]], Will Arnett, Bill Hader, [[Seth Rogen]], Jonah Hill, [[Amy Adams]], John C Reilly and many more. ----- ~~===~~ {{examples\|Known [[Frat Pack]] collaborations include: ~~===~~}} * ''[[Heat Vision and Jack]]'' (un-picked-up pilot, has since become a cult favourite, stars Black and the voice of Owen Wilson, featuring Christine Taylor, Stiller and Ron Silver, also written and directed by Stiller) * ''[[Meet the Parents]]'' (stars Stiller and Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson has a supporting role) Line 26 ⟶ 25: ** Owen Wilson was slated to be in it but dropped out after his suicide attempt ~~===~~ {{examples\|Notable ~~non-collaborations~~solo ~~(only one member)~~efforts that embody the Frat Pack spirit include: ~~===~~}} * ''[[There's Something About Mary]]'' (stars Stiller) * ''[[Idiocracy]]'' (stars Luke Wilson) Line 41 ⟶ 39: In addition to the above, there's several movies involving ''none'' of the core members, but retain their flavor thanks to the work of their collaborators - ''Knocked Up'', ''[[Superbad]]'' and ''Hot Rod'' among them. {{creatortropes\|Works by members of the Frat Pack include examples of:}} ~~=== Associated Tropes: ===~~ * [[Badass Grandpa]] ("You're my boy, Blue!", Patches in ''Dodgeball'') * [[Beware the Nice Ones]] (a recurring theme)
