Nothing but Trouble is a god awful movie with no redeeming qualities. It wasn't even funny when I was 14.

I'll go with...

him as Grocer singing in Grosse Point Blank will forever be my fav:

[singing] I'll be comin' around the mountain when I come / I'll be comin' around the mountain when I come / I'll be blowin' your frickin' head off / I'll be blowin' your frickin' head off / I'll be whackin' your frickin' mind out when I come....POPCORN!

Neighbors is a great movie. I liked how Belushi played his character straight the whole movie while Aykroyd played Vic like it was a SNL skit.

Part of the reason the entire movie got made was because half of Hollywood was impressed by the Joe Friday impersonation he did at parties and on sets to entertain others. He's underrated because he was in Murray's wake, never considered a franchise actor and he focused on comedy. But, of that era, it's hard to find a better "utility" player, in that he could write/revise dialogue (or entire scripts), do impersonations, play the key support role or even co-lead. He elevated most of the pictures he was in.
