I was a grad student at the university of oregon when they tore the animal house down. I jumped the fence and grabbed a piece of the porch. I still have it somewhere.
Going through life drunk and stupid is no way to live your life, son. As of now, you're on double secret probation.
What year did they tear it down?
cand jim approximately 1986
so fcking epic
I donated my kidney to Flounder.
He made me an honorary Delta.
"Your Delta Tau Chi name is Beanman (as in kidney bean)"
Stephen (Flounder) Furst
One of the funniest movies ever made. Still to this day, 40 years later.
Don't forget Porky's.
Seeing how woke the world is now
This film has become even more funny now
@@michaelcap9550 Forget Porky's! It's no contest, and I've seen "Porky's" a number of times. "Animal House" blows "Porky's" completely up, and out! Or just blows it! EAT ME
It was on last night. Not censored either, which means seeing that great pair on Shelly Dubinsky!
I agree with you 100 percent!
It makes my day to know that D-Day’s actor can actually do that throat flick noise and that it wasn’t just edited in later 😂
Everything was pretty real. Even the scene where Belushi chugs the Jack Daniels.
Hoover could really juggle tennis rackets, too.
@@Joshz2014 They used iced tea (you can see it foams as he drinks it). Nobody could chug a whole fifth of JD.
Bruce McGill has a pretty impressive resume as a character actor.
Charles Brooks seeing the actor doing that throat gag exactly how he did it in the film got me teary. Silly i know. :)
Interior of the Animal House was filmed in Sigma Nu fraternity. How do I know? I was a Sigma Nu who was living there when it was being filmed. Met John Belushi. Very down to earth guy. Toga party held in our basement. Good times.
That's a great story and memory.
D-Day’s whereabouts are no longer unknown
Yeah, he can’t handle another of Lincoln’s stories
I was the Food & Beverage Manager of the Eugene Hotel when Animal House was filmed.
During the filming many members of the cast & crew came to the hotel for "Blue Monday." We would have northwest blues bands play. Curtis Salgado, who was the front man for The Robert Cray Band taught John Belushi to play the harmonica. Belushi came up with the idea for The Blues Brothers from watching Curtis h the rest of the band.
Fun times & lots of drugs too!
.
"Fun times & lots of drugs too!"
Pretty sure that became U of O's recruitment motto, post "Animal House"....
.
@Tom Reedy Yep, the Blues Brothers Wikipedia page mentions this as well, and says in the first appearance of the Blues Brothers on SNL, they used alternate lyrics written by Salgado for a song.
Wasn't Belushi from Chicago?
I was in a fraternity, as a pledge in 1962, and this movie was very close to my experience. I love this movie as it represents a time that I personally experienced.
1978, in the service, had a few beers . saw this with some other guys from the barracks. it was hilarious, laughed so hard i fell out of my chair, couldnt stop laughing. best years of SNL too, thanks Belushi......... memories.........still funny
“we are going to make a slight alteration... to your brothers car..” (lights the torch)
I had the three houses on a Eugene Register-Guard newspaper route during filming in Nov 1977. Omega house in real life is the Phi Kappa Psi house, Delta house was a work release center for convicts transitioning back to civilian life, and the sorority house is the Sigma Nu house.
Thank god that the president of Oregon U, Bert Convey, let the crew film there!
Bernie22 u of oregon*
That's because when he was the head of another university, he had turned down The Graduate from filming, and he said he would never make that mistake again.
@@e815usa Only movie that was filmed on Momouth Univsitiy's Campus in West Long Branch, New Jersey was Annie which Wilson Hall was transformed into Daddy Warbucks Fifth Avenue Mansion.
And they play "Shout!" At the end of the 3rd quarter at every home game at Autzen! They should have shown that. 50,000 people gettin down.
I remember standing in the front. yard of the animal house in 1985. Sure wish I had a camera. Obviously, no cell phone then.
Dang Babs aged very well. Good for her.
I wonder what Mary Louise Weller looks like today, at 76? [b. Sep. 1, 1946; 31 when filming in Oct-Dec. 1977] Mandy Pepperidge is absolutely gorgeous, even if she has at tarty attitude-towards Otter!
"Don't flatter yourself, Otter. It wasn't that good!" --Mandy to Otter Otter: [silently mouthing the words back to her and the film audience] "Wasn't that good?"
I recently saw Twilight Zone:The Movie. There is a scene where Vic Morrow's character is in Vietnam. One of the soldiers yells at the others "I told we shouldn't have killed Lt. Niedermeyer". A John Landis connection no doubt.
Caught that when I saw twilight zone in the theater way back when.
Landis directed that movie. That was the one where 3 people were killed, including Morrow
thank God he said yes one of the best movies ever
This was an awesome segment.
I'm so glad Bruce can still play The William Tell Overture on his throat.
I can still remember the day we went to see this in 78. Most comedies I laugh maybe a few times. We were laughing so hard I was falling out of my chair at Animal House for the entire film. We knew that we were watching a classic.
One of the best comedy movies ever !
I grew up in Eugene and was driving down E. 18th and saw them filming the ROTC scene by Hayward Field where Niedermeyer yells his infamous, "drop and give me 20!" line. Also, my high school marching band was the band in the parade at the end of the movie that gets led down a dead-end alley. I missed being in that marching band by one year.
And the Dexter Lake Club was definitely not a "soul" bar.
It's been an assumption around Eugene that the old house used as the "Delta House" was ruined by the production of the movie. I just want to state that assumption is not true. That house was in pretty sad shape when the production started and wouldn't have been habitable in a few years from the time of the movie, and the property owners were going to remove it anyway. There was a thought that it could have been moved to another location, however, it was *originally* so poorly built it wouldn't have survived even being lifted off the foundation. It was sad to see the old house get torn down, but it was inevitable anyway.
Brad honey, is it supposed to be this soft?
I have to watch this movie at least a couple of times a year....keeps me sane.
Side fact: The Graduate wanted to film there, but was turned down and instead filmed in Berkeley
I wish they’d of shown the bar in Dexter where they went on their road trip.
For the longest time I always thought the bar was called the "Death Delay Club".
Doug Kenney. Gone way too soon. His footprints are everywhere, still.
We all know flounder was the star of that movie.
Father Elijah bruh u like bos 😂
@@tlesko3921 yes sir, BOS is better then the Enclave and the NCR. But that's totally off topic, where's Flounder?
He’s my cousin... or was. RIP.
Father Elijah bruh the railroad better than u guys 😂😂
@Liberty Tree Furst said he used to stick his head shot into pizza boxes he knew were being delivered to people in the industry.
Came out when i graduated hs
Freshman college year
Toga!
Toga!
Toga!
Thank you
*TOGA!*
One of the last films to really make me laugh
Childhood favorite & is to this day. Grew up watching this on good olé VHS. Had family in the film & their hot rods were featured in the parade for the film. Timeless & an absolute priceless comedy film in cinema history. 🖤 Ohhhh & one more thing...
Goooooooo Ducks. 😎🦆
One of my all time favorite movies, it’s so good
.
No.......it's BEYOND good !!
.
A movie that will never be forgotten!!!
Absolutely one of my ALL TIME TOP THREE MOVIES......close to 2020 and I'm STILL "borrowing " lines from this Epic Flick! Cheers Everyone
A lot of people don't know but one night after filming in Eugene John Belushi was out walking around and walked in to a blue bar where he met the blues singer Curtis Salgado and they sat down and talk music and movies and after a few drinks they came up with an idea about a movie about the blues and they called it The Blues Brothers.
Old Taylor's bar...or maybe it was the Eugene Hotel
@@quackattack87 Eugene Hotel
I guess Curtis has changed for the better but my old bartender friend in Portland told me stories.
I love, to this day, D-Day (Bruce McGill) riding up the stairs on a Harley-Davidson Sportster and playing the "William Tell Overture on his adam's apple. Classic.
When us guys that loved Harley-Davidson were outcasts in high school. Thanks D-Day for being our hero....
Our DKE house at Miami University in 1965-67 was just like Delta house. Anyone could pledge. We had guys drive their motorcycles into our house. We were almost the anti-fraternity. Our antics in Southwest Ohio were legendary. Sadly two brothers died while serving in the military during the Vietnam war.
Last Toga party I attended was in 1991.
Time to bring awareness of this awesome movie (no remakes please)
What an absolutely legendary film
"I just talked to her last week. She was gonna make a pot for me".
Such an iconic movie. It's August of 2020 and I still love watching this movie.
Chevy Chase was originally cast for "Otter" and Dan Aykroyd for "D-Day."
One of the funniest films ever made one of my top 10 movies ever takes me right back to the day every time I watch it
I’ve always loved this movie and just learned it was filmed in my state!
Right up there with Airplane, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and Monty Python and the Holy Grail on the list of funniest movies ever made.
For a while, in the early 80's, when the Pittsburgh Pirates played at Three Rivers Stadium and were losing going to the bottom of the 9th inning, they would play Belushi's "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor" on the scoreboard. It always went over well.
I was in high school in 1978 and that movie was the talk of that time.
I live in Eugene, Oregon home of the Oregon Ducks, my whole family bleeds green and Animal House is a staple movie that sits on the mantel of the Duck shrine
Go Ducks!!!!
Sure were a lot of Southern accents in that film for it to be the University of Oregon. LOL!
WATCHMAN 117 it was Faber College in the movie. So the accents didn’t apply.
you do know that they import kids from across the🇺🇸&the🌎to these universities...rite?😹
YOU DID NOTICE THE TENNESSEE FLAG IN THE SCENE WITH THE COUGHING AND BABS TAKING NOTES,HUH? LOTS OF TENNESSEE FLAGS ON OREGON CAMPUS IN 1975
Faber College was supposed to be set in Tennessee. The state flag of TN was prominently displayed at the front of the large classroom where Delta House "went on trial" in front of Dean Wormer
"I think he's just dreamy!" --Babs [she pretended to have one, at least it sounded like a Southern accent to me] Anyway, no other State was mentioned besides Penn. in the movie itself, so nobody knew back then it was filmed at Eugene, OR. It could have been anywhere, as far as the general public knew!
One of my favs of all time
I heard UO passed on the Graduate and that's why they gave Animal House permission to film.
Im from Eugene, Or & remember all of this WILDNESS😄😃😉
I'm making a pledge to Delta House that I will always re watch and love this movie. So as JB speech "Whose with me?"
Thank you University of Oregon.
True classic for sure! Forever played!!😊
며칠전에 더 블루스 보이즈 음악을 접했고, 존 벨루시라는 배우를 알게 되었습니다
그리고 그에 관해 영화를 찾아보고 오늘 낮에 애니멀 하우스라는 영화를 보게되었습니다
그리고 마침내 유튜브 알고리즘이 저를 이리로 안내했네요..
Thanks for the video...
Bruce is an underrated actor
A total classic...I still lmao whenever it shows up on t.v.
Best movie ever!
RAMMING SPEED!!!!!!!!!
I was there as a student at the time. They were always looking for extras with the requirement that you have short hair and no beards. I refused to apply because I wasn't about to to cut my hair! :-) BTW, this is where the Blues Brothers was formed...at the Eugene Hotel. Belushi would perform just for fun, and one of his bits was as a 'Blues Brother'. If anyone has an original LP of the Blues Bros first album, on the back the cover it says, "Special thanks to the Eugene Hotel."
Stacy Grooman, Flounder's unlikely (i.e., hot) girlfriend was a student at the time.
Filmed in Oregon, supposedly taking place in Pennsylvania, and a Tennessee flag in the trial scene. I love this movie!
Top 3 funniest comedies ever filmed imho.
Only movie I've ever watched where I was laughing so hard I felt I was going to throw up -I had to cover my eyes to calm down -It was the John Belushi cafeteria scene.
It was my first year at University though :)
In today’s atmosphere there is now way they could make the movie there. I was living in Eugene when it was being made.
God bless President Boyd♡
Here’s my Animal House bucket list road trip:
The Delta House plaque in Eugene, Oregon
The Kent “Flounder” Dorfman statue in Harrisburg, PA
The Fawn Liebowitz Memorial in Fort Wayne, Indiana
Fawn Liebowitz
1944 - 1963
“She was going to make a pot for me”
Unfortunately, the Senator Blutarsky bust in the Capital was destroyed on Jan. 6
students definitely still talk about this movie today :)
I about half expected D-Day's haircut to become popular after this movie came out.
good stuff game day! thx for sharing
Martha Smith is still looking amazing after all of these years!
God they must have had so much fun making this movie.
Animal House was a epic movie !!!!
Well that girl looks really good for 40 years later
Always liked Bruce McGills haircut. He went to a local barber in Eugene who had been cutting hair from way back. McGill asked can you do a “Chicago Boxcar with a Boston Back”. The barbers reply, Done a million of em”.
My name is Mothball
The best movie ever.
Martha smiths
Always shining like sun in a sunny day
When I was in college, I use to date twin sisters. Not at the same time of course. Every Thursday night was party night. On Saturday me and some of my dorm buddies would go drinking at a stripper bar.
Dan Aykroyd was offered the part of the handlebar mustache guy on the motorcycle, but he stayed with SNL full-time out of loyalty, while Belushi split time between SNL and the movie. The initial cast was also to feature Chevy Chase as Otter, Bill Murray as Boon and Brian Doyle-Murray as Hoover, but they didn't do it for various reasons.
Too bad college isn’t like this anymore..
The Oregon Foot and Ankle Center? "And that foot is ME ..."
Chevy's Chase would have turn this movie into Oscar's Gold🤔 He was the most beloved star 🌠 back then in SNL beginning 😲👍🤔🇺🇲
Lorne Michaels said to him if he took a part in the movie, he would be gone!
Anyway, the producers did not want the film to be with only SNL players. Good thing, as Tim, Peter, Stephen, Thomas, Kevin, Bruce, James, etc. were far better as [most] film newbies, fresh, and funny, than the old SNL guys Chevy and Bill.
It is my understanding that Faber College, and thereby, the town of Faber, were located in Pennsylvania - and for the Delta House expulsion trial, the producer needed a Pennsylvania state flag - because having the Oregon state flag in this scene would have been a dead giveaway, as the Oregon flag has the state name on it.
When a Pennsylvania state flag couldn't be found, the producers decided to obtain, and the crew followed the order to obtain, the "most generic looking" state flag they could find.
As fate would have it, the "most generic looking" state flag found - and used - was the Tennessee state flag.
The rest, as they say, is history.
How can you not find a Pennsylvania state flag? Just make a phone call to Pennsylvania.
I was beyond depressed when I found out they tore it down. Later I was pissed. That was immortal history taken away from us.
Uh... Yeah, I can imagine Animal House being shot in a lot of other places...
I graduated from UofO two years before Animal House was made. Loved seeing all the landmarks that I knew and loved while at Oregon.....
Haha, Mcgill is a good guy 😁
Animal House is the funniest movie ever plus Ivan Reitman was a producer before directing both ghostbusters movies in 1984 and 1989
"What's my Delta Tau Chi name?" "Flounder?!" Still one of the best movie scenes of all time! The expression on "Flounder's" face says it all!
Flounder: "Why?" Bluto: "WHY NOT!?" LMAO!
@@freeguy77 Loved Bluto! 7 years of college down the drain, but hey he had a great time and went onto become a U.S. Senator w/Mandy at his side! What was not to love!
@@gailreese4102 Who did not love Bluto? A mix of Harpo Marx (spoke rarely), and Marcel Marceau puppet-like in his exaggerated facial movements! The raised eyebrows at the cafeteria table was a scream! "See if you can guess, what I am now! [SPAT food at them] I'm a zit, get it?" Greg to Bluto: Let's go [fight], right now!" Bluto: [raises eyebrows at him numerous times] "FOOD FIGHT!"
@@freeguy77 Another of my favorite scenes is in the garage the morning after the guys' grand adventure at the Dexter Lake Club ("Flounder''s" crying, "What am I going to tell Fred?")
2:10 I wonder if she still works at universal tram guide lol
My pediatrician Dr Livermore was there in the 80s
I tried out as an extra for that movie. So fun to watch being made
Man it's hard to believe John Belushi is gone.
All time classic should have been made a landmark
I always thought one line in the movie should have been different. In the scene where "Otter" (Tim Matheson) is making out in the back seat of the car with the girl from Dickinson College, he says, "I used to touch Fawn (Liebowitz) this way" and the girl says "I know, she told me". I think a better response would have been "I know, so did I".
No, that would have been too gayish, and not believable for 1962-63! Glad she did not say that line!
I haven't seen the MOvie in several years. I think one interesting thing about the Movie is that Kevin Bacon who had a minor role in the Movie became a superstar while Tim Matheson and Peter Reigart who along with Belush were the stars of the MOvie never did get a career as big as Kevin Bacon.
Belushi would have. He would've been in Ghostbusters.
Faber College is supposed to be in Pennsylvania. Faber is a brand of pencil, ergo, Faber, Pennsylvania. The most famous Faber pencil is a yellow painted pencil called the Mongol. The football team of Faber is called the Mongols. Although Faber is supposed to be in Pennsylvania, the flag seen in the trial is the Tennessee state flag. For some reason, that was the only one they could get.
Shoulda interviewed Fawn Liebowitz!
Should of been a University museum!!!
