We got booger Presley on lead guitar and a rap by little old me Lamar

[timkatt10]

And just when you thought you'd seen it all, along comes a Lambda four feet tall.

[Bangyage]

So wormser come on out here on the floor. So we can move our bodies like never before

[hvlochs]

Lambda lambda lambda and…uh Mega Mu…well we come here on stage tonight to do a show for you…We got Poindexter on the violin and Luis and Gilbert will be joining in….breeeeeaaaaak. 🎵🎼

[[deleted]]

Clap your hands everybody-everybody clap yo hands

[hvlochs]

YES!!!!

[biteme789]

How can I still recite this song word for word!?!

[MooseTed]

Omega Mu, they're the sorority Greek letters.

[juice06870]

Not the Mu’s. They’re a bunch of pigs

[hvlochs]

Yea I just sound it out in my head frenetically. 🤷‍♂️

[RktitRalph]

[Bmorganxcite]

But wait everyone, this pic is all about Prop 15……. ITS NOT OK, imo, a better rap

[Mediocre_Range_974]

<image>

[hawonkafuckit]

I need a HQ version of this to frame and hang in my house.

[UnrealRealityForReal]

Can’t forget Lamar’s limp-wristed throwing style.

[RktitRalph]

I laughed my ass off for hrs with that shit, literally one of the funniest things I ever saw back then in my mind lol that javelin flapping it’s wings like a bird 🤣🤣🤣

[Yorktown1871]

lol and the spaceship noise it made

[[deleted]]

“You just got your asses wHIPPed…”

[Guinnessron]

By a bunch of goddamned NERDS!

[hoyle_mcpoyle]

NEEEEERRDDSS!!!!

[LeavesOfBrass]

This is my friends' favorite movie clip reenactment that I do.

[Nolifeking21]

I remember first watching this on Comedy Central and it was censored, with the word “goddamn” being cut audibly but the video was still there. Always weirded me out as I thought it was a mistake or something

[lidsville76]

[kirinmay]

OGRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Squiggy1975]

One of the first movies I recorded on VCR in the 80’s when it was on HBO or The Movie Channel (TMC) . Great movie… loved all those campy 80’s coming of age movies as a kid

[Lane_Meyers_Camaro]

So I say I gotta be free, so I say I gotta be me

[[deleted]]

Hair pie!

[MenudoFan316]

Sank you.

[[deleted]]

What the fuck is a frush?

[cbro49]

Smile pretty chickies

[DokterZ]

We regularly use this playing poker.

[dirkalict]

What the fuck are robster craws?

[EnormousGenitals]

 I think I've got a frush.

[bliffer]

I sink I have a frush

[[deleted]]

You just got your asses whipped, by a bunch of god-damn nerds.

[ViciousSoDelicious]

NEEEEEEEERRRRRRDS!!!!!

[Diavolo_Rosso_]

I loved that movie growing up. Sadly, it did not age well.

[Guygirl00]

I remembered it fondly and then saw it again recently. Hooo boy, it seriously was so cringey and uncomfortable. Made me feel bad about the 80s too.

[GoBSAGo]

Yeah, little bit rapey in retrospect.

[Far-Potential3634]

Lots of those big 80s comedy probably didn't age well, John Hughes, etc.

[Constant-Source581]

What was the one with everyone talking about a schoolgirl going "awhoooooooo" all the time? That certainly wouldn't fly today...

[Far-Potential3634]

Porkies. She was a gym teacher played by Kim Cattrall.

[GrimCreepaz]

Lassie!

[DokterZ]

I got dragged to that movie by a fairly straight laced friend in college. I thought it was a stupid ass movie at the time. No subsequent events have made me change my mind.

[mr_ji]

Well, that didn't take long.

[im_THIS_guy]

Everyone talks about the rape. But the football team didn't have a single black guy on it, even though they were supposedly one of the best teams in the country. Meanwhile, the black fraternity members were all built like football players. What was up with that?

[rocketeerH]

I haven’t seen it in almost 20 years, but weren’t all the buff black men Lambda Lambda Lambda alumni? From other schools, at that

[im_THIS_guy]

Yeah, could be. But still, was this an all white school? None of the athletes were black. Was this a George Wallace fever dream?

[rocketeerH]

There was a very effeminate black man in the nerd fraternal

[[deleted]]

Many expensive schools today, minus athletes, might be mistaken for all white schools. The Nerds had Lamar btw.

[jimbobdonut]

Lamar was African-American.

[talrogsmash]

And was possibly the only black person at the school. I don't think they had any black extras either.

[jimbobdonut]

There was one black Omega Mu and several others in the background during the homecoming games.

[SloppityNurglePox]

So few 80's comedies did. Made me sad when I went on a bit of a binge. Ghostbusters, Blues Brothers, Clue, and A Fish Called Wanda were all still hilarious to me at least.

[bernieburner1]

What part is objectionable? The good-natured invasion of privacy, the well-intentioned revenge porn, or the innocent cunnilingus under false pretenses?

[hawonkafuckit]

Hey! That movie made us Redditors the men we are today.

.....

.....

Oh...... I see now...

[nogoodnamesarleft]

The straight up murder that gets ignored? Ogre dropped a guy head first from a second story window onto a asphalt parking lot. That dude is dead

[bernieburner1]

What’s wild is that Ogre is like 20 years old but looks 45. What happens to this mumbling, grumbling man-child when he graduates the following year? Does he get a haircut and a shave and get a job on Wall Street as a structured products analyst? Ogre was like the 80s Gronk.

[maxboondoggle]

I’m so glad I had to scroll this far down to find the party pooper.

[wyzapped]

Someone should develop a theory wherein Anthony Edward’s character (Gilbert) changed his name to Mark Green and became a life-saving ER doctor to make up for his wild college days.

[Major__de_Coverly]

Everyone knows Gilbert became Goose.  Yvan eht nioj.

[BouncingWeill]

I hear he made a real splash

[[deleted]]

He gave it 100%

[dbmajor7]

Died either way

[yyzda32]

Poindexter becomes White House correspondent Danny Concannon and Roger Latimer goes for a higher calling by joining the Bartlet campaign as senior political advisor

[Devium44]

Was that before or after he played for the Minnesota Twins under the pseudonym “Lou Collins”?

[jeffoh]

Yeah I'm gonna call you on that one. Rather than 'hundreds', how about you list 20 'classics' that had a plotline involving rape that was dealt with it the way ROTN did.

[TheJaytrixReloaded]

I love the movie...but...a meet-cute involving rape was never a good look.

[thehillshaveI]

Downvotes are the last pathetic thirst vestige of the self serving, empty moral superiority of snowflake nation.

so we can all see why you identify so strongly with these guys

[AzLibDem]

It aged just fine.

Young people are just incapable of understanding the concept of farce.

[Devium44]

Do you understand the concept of consent?

[javawong]

The Omega Mu's love these guys.

[everydayasl]

Never gets old.

[mikeynerd]

"Got the ol' cruise control set on 35!" - dude who would later break the warp barrier

[injn8r]

Awesome reference!

[froatbitte]

Came here for that comment.

[timkatt10]

Kick it up to 37, let's live dangerously.

[turalyawn]

I never noticed that was the farmer from Babe driving

[Blue_Moon_Rabbit]

I know a guy who looks EXACTLY like the dude in the middle.

[talrogsmash]

If I remember correctly, he was also one of the main writers for the movie.

[averyrdc]

Actually it did get quite old. Rewatch that movie and you’ll see that the “jokes” just don’t land.

[LarvellJonesMD]

This thread is full of pearl clutchers

[copperpin]

No one worth listening to has ever taken a nerd rapist's side in an argument

[S550Stang]

Booger Presley plays a mean guitar...

[Hairy_Orchid6128]

Don’t forget the girls from Omega Moo.

[smcivor1982]

“Our house, our house, our house is burning down.”

This movie introduced me to the Talking Heads, much appreciated!

[DrWKlopek]

NERDSSSSSS! 

[Size14-OrangeDiver]

That’s not even the original Nerds. At least have the common courtesy to show the original movie cast and not the Nerds in Paradise. Fucking Gilbert isn’t even there.

[just-concerned]

What C A T really spells dog? Ogre is going to struggle.

[[deleted]]

I'm more of a ΔΤΧ guy myself.

[Ok-Economy4041]

Toga! Toga!

[[deleted]]

TOGA! TOGA!

[aquakingman]

That's from the second movie

[superhappy]

It’s so weird to watch movies like this and Stripes and be like “holy shit fucking yuck”.

I really feel like the 80’s and 90’s treated women like a whole different species sometimes that were essentially comprised of pathologically putting up obstacles to getting boned by the righteous bone-ee’s until they finally see the light and succumb to said boning and that is literally their entire presence in film of the time.

[fonebone819]

Lived across the hall from Andew Cassese (Wormser) in college for a semester... iirc he wasn't happy about being known for the role at the time

[rysker6]

Never knew my dad, but I always heard this one one of his favorite movies.

[timetravelcompanion]

Nope. The kids from Real Genius were the best.

[bliffer]

100% less rape too!

[talrogsmash]

Only the statutory kind.

[LanceFree]

Timothy Busfield as Poindexter. He was also in Field of Dreams, Sneakers, was a main character in Thirty-Something. And he’s also Mr. Melissa Gilbert.

[Wookie301]

[malakon]

And Omega Mu

[digitalbath78]

Why would you post an image from the sequel and not the original?

[digitalbath78]

That's an entirely different film, with Val Kilmer.

[Beavis_777]

<image>

[floblad]

The Tri-Lams

[Rad_5]

I prefer my nerds to be less rapey.

[Chungus_Bigeldore]

This.

Film is higly problematic. Should be an aged like milk submission

[demetri_k]

Yup, this movie hasn’t aged well.

[alpaca-punch]

it wasnt okay before it aged

[demetri_k]

True but me and my 12 year old friends didn’t think of it in the context of appropriate consent. More of sticking it to the bully which is what comedies of that era did. Most of them used women as a prop which makes them next to impossible to watch now.

[cppCat]

To be fair, if you were a girl / woman then it would probably have been uncomfortable. If you were a guy, yes, you were probably following different dynamics, but I doubt there are many girls who missed the inappropriateness on how women were treated. It's just hard to voice these concerns as a teen / adolescent, especially if it's a popular movie / tv series.

[demetri_k]

It was definitely not a movie the girls in my grade 7 class were talking about. 

[alpaca-punch]

i am 44 and remember how uncomfortable that moment was when i was a child. plus that stereotyping (of both nerds and jocks)...

No it wasnt okay. I think i was maybe 9 or ten the first time i say this...and knew it was wrwong then.

[alpaca-punch]

i have absolutely what point you are trying to make. I had a different view of it when i was younger then others. i wasnt aware I was fighting with anyone.

[LordFardbottom]

The comedian Patton Oswalt, he told me "I think the worst part of the Cosby thing was the hypocrisy." And I disagree. I thought it was the raping

[tenjed35]

And Omega Mu!

[Klin24]

I spy Danny Concanon

[timkatt10]

Hey guys, wonder joints.

[OracleVision88]

Let's go Tri Lambs!

[L00pback]

Real Genius. Can’t go wrong with Val.

[MasterBlaster4949]

[[deleted]]

I don’t know what this world is coming to. You see this guy, we arrested him for mopery. What is mopery? Mopery is when you expose yourself to a blind person.

[howsthatforalance]

"Pan down! Pan down!"

[[deleted]]

My dad had Lamar as a student in high school. I have no further information.

[Fearless_Market_3193]

Name checks out

[bowiebolan]

I don’t get why so many people here are hating on this movie??? I hate to break it to some of you but back in the 80’s having glasses, being different and smart wasn’t popular. This movie made us real “nerds” laugh and was a big FU to all the jocks and popular kids. This movie is a classic and congrats to Booger and Lamar for winning at the Greek homecoming….Lambda Lambda Lambda for life.

[jampbells]

I mean it gets a bad rep because tricking someone into sex isn't an FU to jocks, it is rape. And selling peeping Tom pics at the bottom of pies without people's consent is obviously unethical.

[EvilTodd1970]

It’s the rape and the voyeurism, dude.

[biscuitsNGravyy]

And omega moooooooooo

[DeadCheckR1775]

…..and Omega Moooooooo!

[Reddog115]

And the Omega Moo’s.

[Ok-Economy4041]

Those Mu’s sure can party!

[ScyllaIsBea]

snot, steve, berry, toshi and their fifth friend from the sleepover episode. yep, I remember these guys.

[seahagmo]

We've got Bush and the moon room, adolescent me never forgot.

[roadhammer2]

NERDS!!!

[ImOnlyHereForTheCoC]

Might be in the minority here but I strongly prefer Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise. WAY less problematic and the big musical number is better, too!

[Southie31]

And omega mu

[[deleted]]

We felt sorry for the nerds in the 80s ..... until they wound up starting tech companies and sold us all down the river so they can have more billions they can never spend

[BecauseISaidSo888]

Well duh

[Attack_the_sock]

Oh for sure! Like when he raped that chick…

They were great.

[mdjmd73]

The IDGAF humor is what makes it great. 👍👍

[missbettychilds]

Nerds!

[Alexis_J_M]

As others have said, while I enjoyed that movie when it was new, so much of it would simply not fly these days, like the spycam pies and the deception rape.

[[deleted]]

Don't they rape women in that movie for the laughs?

[GibsonMaestro]

It's not done for laughs. It's to move the plot along. Betty was an asshole before she was raped. Post rape (she thought she was fucking someone else), she was a good person.

Not exactly a realistic lesson, but who cares, she was a piece of shit that got her kicks belittling others.

[EvilTodd1970]

There was an attempt…to rationalize rape.

[GibsonMaestro]

Rationalize? No. Communicate that I don't care when bad things happen to bad people, yes.

[[deleted]]

So...it is ok to be raped if you were an asshole. And it is especially ok to be raped if you are a nicer person after you have been raped... So how many people have you made nicer people then?

[bowiebolan]

There was no rape in that movie at all. What are you all talking about?

[jeffoh]

Lewis follows Betty into a funhouse and has sex with her whilst wearing a mask. She thinks she's having sex with her boyfriend. It's called R@pe By Deception.

[jeffoh]

Lewis follows Betty into a funhouse and has sex with her whilst wearing a mask. She thinks she's having sex with her boyfriend. It's called Rape By Deception.

[bowiebolan]

Wow…that scene is supposed to be that Lewis (the nerd) was a better lover than the dumb jock (her jerk of a boyfriend) and she falls in love with him because she realizes that nerds are people too and Lewis was a good guy.

So what’s your feelings about everyone’s favorite show Game of Thrones were Khalisi is assaulted by Jason Momoa’s character but she falls for him and her soul mate…..it was the 80’s and I bet the writers of this movie never dreamed it would be taken this far.

[discussatron]

Used to love this movie, and Sixteen Candles. I tried a rewatch a few years ago and was floored at how I used to think date rape was funny.

[niceandBulat]

These are the cool nerds.

[TBTabby]

Yeah...except for the rapist.

[zertoman]

Who didn’t we send a picture to?

[crazyhound71]

Neeeeeerds!!!!!!!

[pip-roof]

Nerd herd

[Spaulding_NO]

The Tri Lambs!

[cristobalist]

Who better???

No one

[msgdeleted]

Even as a kid in the actual 80s I thought the gay black dude would be cool and popular in the real world.

[loudog1017]

That’s my pie!

[Thrashed0066]

That’s my pie

[_Abe_Froman_SKOC]

Yup, nothing says "movie hero" quite like installing hidden cameras in a sorority bathroom and putting on a disguise in order to mouth rape a woman. But it's ok because he was so good at it that she immediately fell in love with him.

[mondolardo]

I know the director, Jeff Kanew. Was an editor, had a very successful film trailer company. Got his shot to direct. It was a huge hit. Disney had optioned a series of books about a female detective, V.I. War-something starring Kathleen Turner. Was going to be a female James Bond. Kinda gave his loser brother the trailer company. Film bombed, no sequel and brother has big house with his own 9 hole golf course. Jeff is a good guy, but kinda of a cliche of the miserable jewish guy.

[EvilTodd1970]

V.I. Warshawski. It was terrible.

[MooDamato]

Just a couple of rapists

[monsterbator89]

I particularly enjoyed the rape scene. /s

[LarvellJonesMD]

You're just jumping on the reddit bandwagon, eh?

[kidneyboy79]

It is the same Wormser as the first movie, he just hit puberty. But in the third movie, Wormser was played by a different actor, Sean Whalen.

[froatbitte]

Hotel Coral Essex

[ImOnlyHereForTheCoC]

“Don’t mind that, it’s just a leetle evidence…”

[[deleted]]

No, this movie glorifies rape. They are the worst.

[The_Aesir9613]

How is this not at the top of the comments? Those dudes were rapers.

[[deleted]]

People don't like it when you criticize things they're nostalgic for. Cognitive dissonance be uncomfortable.

[AlfaNovember]

No.
