Animal House

If Mel Brooks can be credited (and blamed) for tarnishing the silver screen with flatulence, the creators of Animal House must therefore be held responsible for all the teen "gross-out" comedies to follow. As is often the case, however, Animal House is vastly better than the majority of its successors — a fresh emission, rather than a stale one. The final sequence, which reveals the later fates of all the film's characters ("Senator and Mrs. John Blutarsky"!), is enough to send anyone into "double-secret" spasms of laughter.
