QUICK TAKE:
Comedy: The dean of a conservative college, and one of its fraternities, attempts to get a rowdier, bawdier fraternity expelled from the campus.
PLOT:
At Faber College in 1962, there is a conservative air about the campus, embodied by the Omega fraternity, which accepts what it deems to be the best and the brightest, but isn't very accepting of anyone else, including two potential pledges, Larry Kroger (TOM HULCE) and Kent Dorfman (STEPHEN FURST), a "wimp and a blimp," according to Babs, a name-tag hostess at the Omega house.

Larry and Kent arrive at Delta house, and Kent convinces Larry it'll be easy to get in, because his brother, Fred, was a member and according to him, legacies have to be admitted. This fraternity is the polar opposite of Omega: Rowdy, bawdy, and always home to the heaviest drinkers on campus. Beer is always available, beer bottles are thrown around, and occasionally, a mannequin is thrown out of the second-floor window.

The anarchic nature of this fraternity is what causes the college's Dean, Vernon Wormer (JOHN VERNON), the most consternation. What good is this college in being conservative if all of its student body doesn't abide by that? With such students as the wild John 'Bluto' Blutarsky (JOHN BELUSHI), the ladies' man Eric 'Otter' Stratton (TIM MATHESON) and jokester Donald 'Boon' Schoenstein (PETER RIEGERT), Wormer sees much reason to find a way to expel all of them. Accordingly, he employs members of the Omega fraternity to try to do so, and it's the right fit, because Omega hates Delta as passionately as Wormer does.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Older kids will be most interested in this comedic look at college life, and especially the occasionally low-key, yet manic style of John Belushi as Bluto Blutarsky.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
No official reason is given, but it's likely for nudity, sexual content, language, and drug use.
CAST AS ROLE MODELS:
  • JOHN BELUSHI plays John 'Bluto' Blutarsky, who doesn't say a lot, but eats more than a lot. He can stuff an entire hamburger in his mouth, and has a drinking habit to match. He's the wild, crazy member of the Delta fraternity, who looks at women in various states of undress, and uses strong language as well.
  • TIM MATHESON plays Eric 'Otter' Stratton, the rush chairman of Delta, in charge of new pledges and welcoming them, and is also quite a ladies' man, conquering many, including Marion Wormer, the wife of Dean Vernon Wormer, the head of Faber College. Like the rest of the fraternity, he drinks, and he uses strong language.
  • PETER RIEGERT plays Donald 'Boon' Schoenstein, the jokester of the fraternity, who is the only one out of all of them carrying on a steady relationship, or at least trying to. His love is Katy, who tries to get him to take their relationship seriously, but isn't completely successful at that. He drinks and is seen driving drunk, smokes pot, and he curses.
  • TOM HULCE plays Larry 'Pinto' Kroeger, a new member of the Delta fraternity, who is more of the kind to be roped into whatever antics the Delta house is planning, including before a toga party, where Boon stuffs wrapped cuts of meat in his sweater at the Food King. The running theme of this character is that he's never had sex and at one point, Donald asks Katy to find him a girl with a "morally casual attitude," who will have sex with him. Later, Larry meets Clorette, the daughter of the mayor of Faber, who becomes a possibility. He drinks and smokes pot.
  • STEPHEN FURST plays Kent 'Flounder' Dorfman, the other new member of Delta, admitted because his brother Fred was a member of Delta. He endures some of the abuse of Omega, being in the college's ROTC program. He's the only Delta member who doesn't drink. He nearly does, but is interrupted.
  • BRUCE MCGILL plays Daniel 'D-Day' Simpson Day, who rides his motorcycle into the Delta house and up the stairs, croaks out the "William Tell Overture" with his throat, drinks, and is the go-to technical guy for any antics that the Delta fraternity needs to happen. He's responsible for their float that appears at the end of the film.
  • JAMES WIDDOES plays Robert Hoover, the president of Delta fraternity and the most responsible one out of the entire fraternity, extremely worried when it looks like their actions will make them worse off with the administration than they were before.
  • KAREN ALLEN plays Katy, Boon's girlfriend, who tries to get him to take his life, and them, seriously, but isn't all that successful at it, even to the point where she cheats on him with a literature professor. At the beginning of the film, Katy's in charge of the bar, drawing beers for whomever wants them. Her bottom appears nude in a later scene.
  • JOHN VERNON plays Dean Vernon Wormer, who makes the possible expulsion of the Delta fraternity his biggest priority. He employs members of the rival Omega fraternity to do some dirty work for him. He uses strong language, and at one point, when the mayor of Faber demands some money for Faber College's alumni parade to go on, he promises him an honorarium from the student fund, though it isn't clear if he intends to steal from the fund.
  • VERNA BLOOM plays Marion Wormer, the wife of Dean Wormer, who is generally unhappy with her position in her life and her marriage to Vernon. She drinks and presumably has sex with Otter, though it isn't seen. She curses as well.
  • MARK METCALF plays Doug Neidermeyer, the Omega membership chairman, the head of the student ROTC and an incredibly uptight and nasty person. He's one who would like to see the Delta fraternity expelled from the Faber campus and engages in some activities to do so. He believes that the conservative nature of the school is what should be known the most about Faber and not what Delta does. He's also one of those who believes that just by their upstanding nature and moneyed background, they are naturally entitled to soon rule the world. As the ROTC head, he's abusive to his men and Kent in particular, making a big deal of Kent's weight. He's also not accepting of certain potential pledges of Omega house, placing them on a couch far away from everyone else, including Kent and Larry.
  • JAMES DAUGHTON plays Greg Marmalard, president of Omega house, who is also of the same attitude as Doug. He smokes and is violent toward Otter later on.
  • MARY LOUISE WELLER plays Mandy Pepperidge, one of the name-tag hostesses at the Omega house on the night for potential pledges to visit, who is of the same mind about Delta, though doesn't express it as much as Doug and Greg, though she does express disgust about Bluto's eating habits, which she witnesses. Mandy goes steady with Greg, and attempts to manually stimulate him sexually. She's also seen partially nude.
  • MARTHA SMITH plays Barbara 'Babs' Jansen, a friend of Mandy's who expresses disappointment that Greg doesn't believe in "premarital intercourse," according to Mandy, and won't have sex with her. She appears in her bra, panties and pantyhose near the end of the movie.
  • CESARE DANOVA plays Mayor Carmine DePasto, who tells Dean Wormer that he'd better keep the Delta fraternity out of the way of the alumni parade.
  • SARAH HOLCOMB plays Clorette DePasto, the daughter of the mayor, who meets Larry, nearly has sex with him at one point, but passes out, and it is implied near the end of the movie that they have, despite her young age.
  • KEVIN BACON plays Chip Diller, one of the new pledges of Omega house, of the same attitude as the other members of Omega house about the Delta fraternity.
  • DONALD SUTHERLAND plays professor Dave Jennings, a worn out literature professor, who expresses it in his classroom, and smokes pot with Katy, Boon and Larry, and it is implied later that he and Katy had sex. He appears partially nude in one scene.
  • LISA BAUR plays Shelly Dubinsky, a student at Dickinson College and a roommate of a girl who died in a kiln explosion, whom Otter uses as a cover, posing as the dead girl's boyfriend, in order to pick up Shelly for a date.
  • DOUGLAS KENNEY plays Stork, one of the members of Delta. He drinks and curses.

  • Kent vomits on Dean Wormer and we hear the splashing sound of it.
  • A spot of blood is seen on a handkerchief Otter removes from his swollen face.
  • DISRESPECTFUL/BAD ATTITUDE
  • The Omega fraternity on the Faber campus, in cahoots with Dean Wormer, would love to see the rowdy Delta fraternity banished from the campus and its members expelled, in order to retain the disciplined serenity and upstanding nature that they hold dear. There's a lot that they do in order to try to make this happen, which will be documented below. They also show disdain and disrespect toward those people they don't believe fit into their beliefs.
  • Doug Neidermeyer, Omega membership chairman, slams the door on Kent after Larry walks in, obviously not accepting of Kent.
  • After Larry and Kent walk off with Doug, Babs Jansen, the other name tag hostess, calls Larry and Kent "a wimp and a blimp."
  • Doug calls Larry and Kent by the wrong names, and introduces them to other arrivals he's placed on a couch far away from the social action, deeming them not suitable to mingle among the Omega crowd. He probably calls at least two of the other arrivals, Mohamet---wearing a turban---and Jugdish---an Indian, by the wrong names as well. Even Clayton, a blind guy in a wheelchair, is deemed not acceptable by Doug. Major intolerance.
  • Doug tells Larry and Kent to not be shy about "helping yourselves to punch and cookies," and pats Ken's stomach as he says so.
  • Chip Diller shows disdain for Kent as soon as he sees him next to him.
  • Greg Marmalard, president of Omega house, introduces Kent to Mandy, Chip, Terry Auerback, the captain of the swim team, and Carl Phillips, editor of the Daily Faberian, and leads him right back to the rejects couch, introducing him to Clayton, Sidney, "Jugless," (mispronouncing the guy's name, whatever it may be), and Lonnie (misstating Larry's name).
  • After Greg, hearing what Dean Wormer has read in a disciplinary file, says, "You're talking about Delta, Sir," Wormer snaps back, "Of course I'm talking about Delta you twerp."
  • About finding a way to get the Deltas in trouble enough to expel them, Dean Wormer says to Greg, "Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little sh*t, just like you, right?"
  • Doug, the leader of the student ROTC, calls Kent a "fat, disgusting slob. You're a g-ddamn disgrace!"
  • Doug says to Kent, "Just tell me mister. What fraternity would pledge a….man like you?"
  • Doug calls the ROTC men "worthless and weak," which is most likely part of the exercise, breaking down any traces of individuality.
  • Doug calls Kent a "stupid son of a-" and never finishes the opinion.
  • Doug growls at Kent, "I've got a good mind to smash your fat face," and slaps him. He also says to him, "Now listen up, you nauseating pile of blubber."
  • Carmine DePasto, the mayor of Faber, demands money from Dean Wormer for use of his town's resources for the parade, and Wormer tells Carmine that he'll offer him an "honorarium from the student fund," possibly indicating that he intends to steal from the fund, though this is never followed up on for the rest of the movie.
  • At the cafeteria, Bluto takes various food items, puts them on his tray, eats them and puts them back, and pockets wrapped sandwiches.
  • Chip steals a black film copy of the Psychology 101 exam, and replaces it with another exam in the garbage in order to throw off the Deltas, who intend to cheat, and possibly get them expelled.
  • About Dean Wormer, Otter quietly says in his presence to Boon, "What a tool."
  • Kent begs Otter not to take his car, because it belongs to his brother Fred and he's meticulous about it, but Otter ignores him, and Kent, having no choice, drives the guys to the Food King. The car is later used to pick up girls for a date, stop at a club, and peel out of the club's parking lot, hitting a lot of cars on the way out. The car is also used as the base of Delta's "Eat Me" float.
  • Boon dances around Katy and then falls in her arms, after which Katy says, "I think I'm in love with a retard." Boon asks, "Is he bigger than me?" and Katy lets him go and he drops to the ground.
  • Boon tells Larry to tuck his sweater in and begins stuffing wrapped cuts of meat into his sweater, and then zips it up (shoplifting). Clorette, the checkout girl at the Food King, grabs Larry by the arm and says, "It looks like you gained some weight since you came in." Larry replies, "It's just a prank. I'm pledging a fraternity." Clorette responds, "Don't sweat it sweetie. I won't tell."
  • Bluto walks slowly down the stairs in his toga as a guy with a guitar sings. Not liking the song being sung, Bluto grabs the guitar and smashes it against the wall and behind him, handing the remnants back to the singer. He then apologizes.
  • The disciplinary hearing against the Deltas is entirely one-sided, with Wormer only wanting to get through the charges so the fraternity can be sentenced, without their side being heard. One of the charges read, about the fraternity "routinely" providing "dangerous narcotic diet pills to its members during midterm examination week," seems made up only to give the student disciplinary board and Wormer even more reason to expel the Deltas.
  • Boon drinks a bit from a beer can as he drives.
  • Otter lies to the roommate of a dead student at Dickinson College, posing as Frank Lymon from Amherst, "Fawn's fiancée." Otter makes like he doesn't know that Fawn's dead, and the roommate hands him an article reporting that Fawn was killed in a kiln explosion. Otter, acting distressed, tells the girl that he doesn't think he should be alone, and she says that she'll get her coat. Otter, as Frank, asks her to get three dates for the other guys in the car. Otter also takes sexual advantage of the girl later because of this.
  • Wormer grabs a blue folder from his secretary's hand.
  • At a spot on the sidewalk of the parade route, a man says to one of the Delta members, "Excuse me. My kid can't see. Is it all right if he stands in front of you?" The Delta member says no, though in the context of what follows, it was probably out of a minute safety concern.
  • Doug screams at his ROTC soldiers, "Get up you faggots! Get up and charge." Later, as they scatter, he screams, "Faggots! Faggots!"
  • The Delta fraternity turns the homecoming parade into a melee and lots of property is damaged and floats destroyed, and a marching band led to a dead end and they crash into each other. By this time, the Delta fraternity members have been expelled and they feel this to be a last memorable act of anarchy.
  • D-Day laughs loudly while stealing a police car.
  • FRIGHTENING SCENES
  • None
  • GUNS/WEAPONS
  • Rifle/Handgun/Pocket Knife: Carried and/or used to threaten, attempt to kill, and destroy property. See "Violence" for details.
  • D-Day hands a gun to Kent and says, "Now finish it, Flounder," meaning for him to shoot the horse inside the Dean's office. Kent replies, "Are you kidding? I never shot anything before in my life!" D-Day takes the gun from Kent, cocks it, and hands it back to him. After Kent goes into the Dean's office, Bluto looks over at D-Day and asks, "Just blanks, right?" and D-Day responds, "Right…" Kent aims the gun at the horse, but the horse jumps up and down on its hind legs. He fires into the air, the shot of the horse freezes and there's a gasping sound.
  • Boon looks at the man beside him who holds up and snaps open a pocketknife in front of him, to intimidate him.
  • Kent throws a box of marbles into the street and the ROTC members trip over them and fall hard to the ground.
  • Doug pushes a fellow soldier off of him and loads a real bullet into his rifle. Kent yells at Doug, "Hey Neidermeyer!", intending to spray him with a seltzer bottle, but Doug fires and the glass bottle shatters. Doug loads another bullet and points the rifle at Doug, nearly firing, but the black hand from the "Togetherness/Brotherhood" float rolls by, picking him up.
  • IMITATIVE BEHAVIOR
  • Phrases: "You f*cked up," "What the f*ck's going on down there?" "Sh*t," "It's a piece of sh*t," "Holy sh*t!" "He's a sneaky little sh*t, just like you, right?" "Horsesh*t," She's got a couple of major-league yabos (breasts)," "Can I massage your thighs while you eat?" "Look at those gazongas (breasts)," "Don't be a fruit, ok?" "Oh, super!" "Damn glad to meet you," "The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me." "You're a g*ddamn disgrace!" "Now listen up, you nauseating pile of blubber," "Hit it!" "You hate that yin-yang?" "Oh boy, is this great!" "That boy is a p-i-g pig," "What a tool," "It stinks!" "You homo!" "I'm gonna string 'em up by the balls," "Let's finish this damn thing," "Hey shut up, you assholes!" "G*ddamn son of a bitch!" "I'll kill you, you scumbag jerk-off assholes!" "Oh, boy!"

Boon recognizes it and exclaims, "Marlene! Don't tell me you're gonna pork Marlene Desmond!" "Pork?" Otter asks, a little incredulous. "Gonna hump her brains out, aren't ya?" Boon asks him.

  • Bluto hides under the bleachers, looking up at Mandy's panties.
  • Boon asks Katy to find Larry a "very special girl." Boon continues, "Now, she should be decent-looking but we're willing to trade looks for a certain kind of…morally casual attitude."

Greg apologizes, claiming distraction because of the Deltas, whom he wants badly to see expelled from Faber. Mandy looks down, then up at Greg, asking, "Anything?" and Greg responds, "Uh, maybe a little faster." A second later, Mandy says, "Darn it, Greg. If you're not even gonna try, I'm just gonna stop," and she takes plastic gloves off.

Mandy unsnaps her bra and begins to feel her breasts, especially touching her right breast. Bluto looks at the camera and coolly waggles his eyebrows. Mandy then feels both breasts, unsnaps her bra completely, takes it off, and throws it on her bed. She begins to take down her panties, and touches herself near her bellybutton, and runs her hand up and down her middle, in between her breasts. She then runs both hands down her stomach, to her panties, and slips both hands in. Bluto, and the ladder, fall backwards.

It's bigger." He continues, "Vegetables can be really sensuous, don't you think?" The woman answers, "No. Vegetables are sensual. People are sensuous." After the woman reveals herself to be Marion Wormer, the wife of Dean Wormer, she asks Otter, "You still want to show me your cucumber?"
  • Larry and Clorette kiss and after some talk not heard, she takes him upstairs. Larry and Clorette end up in Hoover's room, and they kiss all the way to Hoover's bed.

She and Larry kiss, and he unzips the back of her dress. Then, there's an overhead shot of Larry and Clorette kissing, which shows her bra from behind as she lays on top of him. Larry fumbles with the bra clasp in the back. Clorette sits up, pulls one bra strap down from her left shoulder, takes the gum out of her mouth and throws it offscreen. She pulls down her right bra strap and unlatches the bra clasp. Larry already has his hands on her breasts, which for the most part, turn out to be wadded-up toilet paper, as Clorette passes out and falls back onto the bed. He looks over and her actual breasts can be seen briefly.
  • A devil figure of Larry appears to his left and says, "F*ck her. F*ck her brains out. Suck her t*ts. Squeeze her buns. You know she wants it." Larry looks over again, and Clorette's breasts are seen again. Larry starts to go over, but an angel figure of himself appears on his right side, and in a higher voice, exclaims, "For shame! Lawrence, I'm surprised at you." The devil replies, "Ah, don't listen to that jack-off. Look at those gazongas. You'll never get a better chance." The devil makes a squeezing motion with his hand as he says "gazongas." Larry decides not to take advantage and the devil says, "You homo!" before disappearing.

  • Bluto and the rest of the fraternity, finding the hearing not fair, yell out "Blowjob!" in protest, coughing and muttering, and then switch to "Eat me!"

  • In the car, on the way to Dickinson College, Kent says to Otter, "I hear Dickinson girls are fast. What should I say? I mean, how should I handle it?" Otter replies, "Just mention modern art, civil rights, or folk music, and you're in like flint." A few seconds later, Kent exclaims, "I hope I score. Oh, boy! Oh, boy!"
  • Otter and Shelly, the late Fawn's roommate, kiss passionately in the car. Otter says to Sheila, "I need you so much," and Sheila replies, "I'm here, Frank. I'm here," thinking that it's the guy Fawn was in love with and not Otter, who used that as a cover.
  • Otter tells Shelly, "Move to your left a little," and she does, and they continue kissing.
  • Shelly has her shirt and bra off in a later scene, and Otter cups a bare breast with one hand as they continue kissing. Otter then touches Shelly's legs and moves his hand up her skirt, revealing more leg, and a garter belt.

  • Later, one of Clorette's bra straps are seen as she lies in the middle of the football field with Larry. Larry tells Clorette, "Before we go any further, there's something I have to tell you. I lied to you. I've never done this before." She asks, "You've never made out with a girl before?" He replies, "No. No, I mean I've never done what I think we're gonna do in a minute. I sort of did once, but I was…", and she cuts him off with, "That's ok, Larry. Neither have I." He takes his shirt off and Clorette says, "And besides, I lied to you too." Larry replies, "Oh yeah? What about?" and she answers, "I'm only 13." He looks at her, surprised.
  • The Gekes float crashes and a girl in a red Playboy bunny-like outfit flies and crashes through the window of a young boy reading Playboy (there's a torso and legs shown on the cover), and the boy, seeing the girl, looks up and exclaims, "Thank you God!"
  • One of the girls, trying to hold onto Babs on the rammed Camelot float, is unsuccessful, and Babs falls, her jacket ripping off.
