Often imitated, NEVER duplicated. A classic in every sense of the word. Glad you guys enjoyed this one!

[@LiveFromThePorcelainPalace]

Even National Lampoon could never recapture the magic of this movie no matter how hard they tried. Vacation was the only one that came close!

This was Kevin Bacons first movie. He showed up a little bit late to the red carpet premier and security didn't even let him get close enough to talk to anybody that could convince them that he REALLY WAS in the movie!

I would have been so pissed. First movie, refused entrance? Ya somebody would have been bailing me out.

[@mikeeckel2807]

Kevin Bacon had a continuing Soap Opera before "Animal House"...I think it was "The Guiding Light." He wasalso a victim in one of those "Teens Get Killed at a Resort" movie...it may have been the first "Jason" movie. He was killed by having an arrow forced into his neck.

[@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817]

not only that, this movie single-handedly revived the college frat/sor system - they were already gone from many campuses and on the verge of vanishing from the country completely. Depending on your viewpoint, that's good or bad.

Just came to agree with being surprised they didn’t have the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor… wonder if they just missed it..

My dad was a Beta at Vanderbilt and graduated in 1981 and says it’s by far the most relatable college movie for his generation. If someone wrote a college movie for the digital era they’d make a fortune. Can you imagine the comedic possibilities with social media on a College campus 😂 or tinder 😳

[@HandofOmega]

One of the most unique things about this movie is how it subverts the tropes that all its 80s descendants would embrace: Whenever some authority figure threatens to shut down the club/team/car wash, they always put on a wild party to save it...which they (barely) do. This movie, however, just says "fuck it!" and they never even TRY to save their frat, they just immediately jump right to going out in the biggest, most obnoxious way possible! It's pretty much the most fun AND nihilistic ending I've ever seen...🤣

[@goldenager59]

The scene with the horse, and the other scenes in the Dean's Office were shot in the real office of the real President of the University of Oregon. "Bluto", John Belushi, was in the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players on Saturday Night Live, while shooting "Animal House" during the week he crisscrossed the U.S. back to NYC on the weekend. Amazing cast.

They wanted to film it at a college back east, but none of those colleges would allow it after reading the script. The U of O decided to allow them to film there because they had turned down filming the college scenes from "The Graduate" there, and felt that they had missed out.

My first week in my dorm, there was a panty raid and I met a guy just like Bluto--in his fourth year at a two year college. There were keg parties by the river and a biology professor who constantly hit on female students. At our graduation the valedictorian was so drunk, she fell off the stage.

[@williamjones6031]

1. Donald Sutherland was so convinced of the movie's lack of potential that, when offered a percent of the gross or a flat fee of $75,000 for his three days' work, he took the upfront payment. Had he taken the gross percentage, he would have been worth an additional $3-4 million. He also said he had the most fun in this film than anything else he's ever done. 2. Landis wanted Dan Ackroyd to play D Day/Bruce McGill got the part. Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live fame threatened to fire him if he took the part. 3. "Charming guy" with the guitar that gets smashed by Bluto is Steven Bishop a real musician at the time who had just put out his one hit wonder "On and on". 4. John Belushi stayed in a separate motel to keep him away from the drinking and drugs the other Delta cast members were participating in. 5. Douglas Kenny was part of the National Lampoon's writing team. He got the part of Stork so he could be in the movie. 6. Had Belushi not been available to play Bluto Meatloaf would have taken his place. 7. The Jack Daniels Bluto chugged was ice tea. 9. John Vernon/Dean Wormer😇 had the best pipes and there couldn't have been a better choice than to cast him. NOTE: He also played the Mayor in "Dirty Harry". 10. Trombones aren't placed in the front of the marching band (because it changes the dynamic of the unit It was put in for creative purposes. 11. This was a movie that if you watched it in the theater, it's likely you had to see it at least twice because the follow-on stuff is often covered up by other's laughter. Not to mention the little items slipped in. 12. Luckily, I was working in a movie theater when this was released.😎 13. Check out "Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke". It came out in 1978 also.

There was a shout-out to this film in 'The Twilight Zone Movie:' In a Vietnam flashback, There is a group of soldiers, lost in the jungle at night. Somebody in the group growls, "I told ya we shouldn't have fragged Lieutenant Niedermeyer." Bluto is one of the best characters in this film; he's wild and nasty, but he's genuinely good-natured, as shown in the scene (26:45) where he's trying to cheer Flounder up.

I was 20 when this came out ... and was in college. I'd never seen a movie quite like it, and kept busting out laughing. They can't make anything this funny today because humor involves putting people in ridiculous situations, meaning that someone will identify with that character (no matter who they are) and thus be offended. This was no problem when all of us weren't being given constant affirmation and, when we got too big for our britches, were asked "Who do you think you are?" It was a lot easier to amuse people when everyone was used to laughing at themselves. And, of course, the character playing Dean Wormer was also the cartoon voice of Tony Stark/Iron Man in the 1966 Marvel Superheroes cartoons -- not to mention also lending his voice to the cartoon "Heavy Metal".

In the theatrical release of this film as well as the original vhs release,the golfball doesn't hit the horse on it's butt, it goes up the butthole. They were forced to change it to a different shot where it doesn't go in to appease animal rights activists at the time. Granted, they were not the only ones upset about that golfball thing. It led to new rules for using animals in movies and how they could be treated. Which honestly was a good thing, because some directors and producers were nasty in the way they would treat animals on set.
