Lambda Lambda Lambda was going to reject them. The nerds joining an all black fraternity was a ballsy move. But according to the rules, they had to put them on a 30 day probationary period or something like that. After getting back at the Alpha Betas, they were finally accepted as full membership.

Booger might be a bum compared to the rest of the nerds but I doubt the nerds would get as far in the movies without Booger. He becomes an attorney which was a big help for the nerds in the later movies.


True. Without the super-joints the party with the Omega Mu's never cranks up. It basically just dies with Gilbert's girlfriend playing the accordion. That single event gives the nerds the confidence to strike back at the AB's and Pi's after they frick up the Tri-Lamb's party.


As to who was the coolest? Maybe Wormser. He was a super smart kid who didn't seem to accept being a loser (like many of the other nerds). Meaning Wormser was going to be down for anything and had the knowledge and ability to make it happen. You want hidden cameras to catch the Pi's naked without them knowing? Wormser could make it happen. Need your fruity gay brother to win a javelin throwing contest. Wormser's got that covered.

I think Takashi joining the police academy then becoming a ninja turtle may be better. Not to mention he is a world champion drunken tricycle rider.


Man, looking at his filmography on his Wiki page is hilarious. It claims he's been in damn near every Disney animated movie in the 90s(an exaggeration, but go look at it), all as "uncredited" roles. shite like "villagers" in Aladdin, "fighting hyenas" in Lion King, "army men" in Toy Story, "male ants" in Bug's Life, "elephant" in Tarzan, etc.

i'd say gilbert because he ended up joining the navy and becoming a fighter pilot.


Yeah, well Poindexter moved to Philly and co-owned an advertising firm, where he got lots of poontang on the side:


and then he moved to Iowa where he tried to talk his brother-in-law out of building a baseball park in his cornfield:

He's one of the select actors who appeared in both Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I didn't really think that was actually Timothy Busfield playing the violin. I thought maybe it was just pretending and adding the music in later

None of them. They all committed felony sex crimes and tried to ruin my school's football team.


Lots of 80s movies feature stuff that gets portrayed as "hijinks" or "kids being kids" that would land some folks in prison for a LONG time.

Attempted murder = casual bullying
Sexual assault = silly pranks

He was a drunk, riding the coat tails of guys that built rockets years before. He just added a booster.

As you’ll see from the following, the correct answer is none of them, they were equally cool and worked as a team.

Homecoming Greek Games Song

Side note, ended up down a bit of a rabbit hole. I totally forgot that Lamar was a Cobra Kai in the first Karate Kid (LaRusso defeats him early on in the All Valley tournament) and he’s also in Iron Eagle, one of the best/worst 80s movies.

To truly hock a loogie, the phlegm must come from the soul, not of the throat.
