I'm sure it took all of their willpower to not just call this movie "King Fart".

[@Rando1975]

When I first heard of the movie, I heard it was King Fart. A guy who recommended it said it was hilariously funny. Then I watched it & wondered what the hell he watched, cause this was just dumb.

[@MT-jt5uo]

@@Rando1975 Hopefully he accidentally watched Animal House and get the movies mixed up.

[@perttuhelin4616]

It was indeed translated thus in Finland.

I must be weird. When I was in college I actually spent most of my time studying and going to class.

[@kristalwiley3648]

NERD!!! (In homer Simpson voice)

[@aiberlane3390]

It's almost like you wanted to earn a degree and find a good job after graduating! Don't you realise you go to college to party, get laid, get roaring drunk, and stalk women?

[@emperortrevornorton3119]

When I was there I broke a yuppie's guitar and ended up with a lawsuit

[@jakublulek3261]

I saw people living like The Young Ones.

[@MeganKoumori]

@Don't Put Guns On Robots I resent that! (Looks at WWII history book open on my Ebook Reader) No wait you're right.

Jeez... I can SMELL this movie... and my eyes are starting to burn

Whoever wrote this movie probably didn't know what a frat was, so he just wrote a movie about farts instead.

[@benhramiak8781]

I can feel my brain cells dying.

[@GAIS414]

Agreed! Sitting through a 24 minute long bad review of one of the greatest movies ever made, did me in too.

[@markabboud4855]

Im embarrassed it took me 4 years to remember where I recognized Ray Mann from. He was the young teen in The Omega Man with Charlton Heston.

[@angrychipmunkonfire3]

Why do I feel like that's a subtle dig at Nostalgia Chick?

[@PaladinDusty]

@@dragoncatoverload It's not woke to be a decent human being. The difference is being woke is loud, insincere, uninformed and caustic.

[@dragoncatoverload]

@@PaladinDusty You would think but apparently being a decent human being is too hard for some people.

[@smjaiteh]

It’s like Hamburger the Motion Picture without any parody to justify its existence.

[@nicklager1666]

So this is Animal Houses younger brother that aches for the attention. But can never reach the same heights as it did. God Belushi you are missed!

[@waterandafter]

But didn't star Jim Balushi?

[@nicklager1666]

@@waterandafter I was refering to the features not the Belushi Brothers. Since King Frat is younger than Animal House i used that as a example. :)

[@waterandafter]

@@nicklager1666 Still applies to Jim.

I'm pretty sure that King Fbleepin' Frat takes place in the same universe as Wacko.

[@vistea1]

You know what, I'd believe that.

[@Decembirth]

This hurts, even in clip-show form.

[@anikmonette2140]

A lot of shots are out of focus, not that you want it to be since everything on set looks so gross!😁

[@PapaTaurean]

Time to start Snob University. I want to major in Anger. "Your movie is not Terence Malick. YOUR MOVIE SUCKS!" Doctorate please!!

[@SewerTapes]

Holy crap! I actually watched this movie as a small child on late night cable, but had no memory of it until you showed the funeral scene. Then it came flooding back like a tidal wave of shame, and I started fantasizing about building a time machine so I could travel back to that night and punch my six year old self for finding The Fart Competition hilarious.

[@Launchpad05]

You know a late 70's movie is obscure when It's 'inspiration' is more well known.

[@krystalfan]

geezus teen titans go doesn't use this many fart jokes AND THEY LITERALLY HAD A FART EPISODE

[@kenhammscousin4716]

How old are you

[@tomservo5007]

Animal House also inspired a surprisingly large number of TV sitcoms that lasted one season or less.

[@Goldstar_]

True. There was Delta House (ABC) which was produced by some of the same people who worked on Animal House, Brothers and Sisters (NBC) and Coed Fever (CBS), the latter of which which never made it past the pilot episode.

[@blazr1976]

I am legitimately sorry that you watched this "movie".

[@SAM-ru4vx]

this review is way too meta.

[@noahvance6160]

There's no way any of the characters in this movie would actually have gotten accepted into college if they were real.

Please tell me they had a yoga party. "Yoga! Yoga! Yoga! YOGA! YOGA!!!!!"

Hmm...could a review of MAD Magazines "Up The Academy" be far behind?

[@louisduarte8763]

"Shi-non-iggans" I'm stealing that one.

[@aiberlane3390]

The poster is almost identical to Animal House! Reminds me of those cheep Disney movie ripoffs that try to look as close to the Disney version as possible. But I'd watch them long before I'd ever watch this.

[@robertcloonan6346]

They didn't heat up a "load of shit" the set a blow torch to by the church, it was a pound of bricked marajunana! That part cracked me up! The 5 year old kid was the first one to start laughing before everyone breaks out in a fit of laughter! Great scene!

[@bobcobb3654]

Think your sarcasm detector needs to be recalibrated.

[@umachan9286]

I'm wondering if the title is a reference to the 1965 movie "King Rat" starring George Segal and James Fox? But then I'm pretty sure I'm giving the filmmakers *way* too much credit.

[@VortexBunche]

That's what I thought at first, but "Frat" is also and anagram for "fart," which they likely could not get away with usuing on the poster and in commercials, so...

[@scottydu81]

I feel like he is teeing up to review the movie FART

[@CthulhuianBunny]

KZbin was recommending your Unidentified Flying Oddball review at the end of this. I think if I had to choose between watching King Frat or that movie, I'd take the cyanide pill.

[@TheSupermuffin12]

I watched this movie like 10 years ago. Pleasantly surprised to see a review of it
