Not sure people would care for Flounder dropping the N bomb the way he did at that club either.

You know "negroes" isn't the N bomb, right?

The N word isn't in Animal House.

the part where the devil on the pledge's shoulder basically tells the kid to date rape what turns out to be a drunken passed out 13 year old has always been a bit uncomfortable for me to watch and I'm sure it only comes off worse to a modern audience.

Guys in college still think this on a nightly basis. They have almost for sure run into this drunken situation. The joke is funny because it's true (save the 13 year old part). I don't see how this joke is remotely dated.

Can't say I remember that scene. I don't think Flounder had a mean enough bone in his body to shout out the N-Word.

the 13 year old part is a good lesson in why that's the wrong choice, on top of it already being the wrong choice

and as for the "n-word", django was basically an excuse for QT to drop 500 n-bombs in public without fear of repercussion. i only hope the poster who made that comment hates him some django

i actually give talks to frats on occasion and i don't use animal house as an example but i try to teach that lesson

one time i met a girl at a bar (i knew she was a year or 2 younger than me so no worries) but she was there with her cousin. i was a complete idiot in those days and she escalated her intentions very quickly. within like 15 minutes she wanted to bounce. then she tells me she's there with her cousin.

i had to bring cousin home before i could get some alone time with the girl. when we do, both girls go inside. then i hear a fight going on. and then the girl comes back in my car and is like "just go" and BOOM. mom is outside right after and knocks on my window. i roll it down

"can you explain why you're bringing my SIXTEEN year old daughter home drunk?"



*ETA: and nothing ended up happening. that fight led to a bigger family fight and the girl my age just cried over and over

Timeless classic

wait really?

i know that actress literally lost her mind and was in a mental institution for a while

oh

knowing how fricked up that girl got, i wasn't sure. i thought that may be one of those "dark hollywood secret" type of things
