This installment, I give you an entire legacy of drunks: The Nerds
::gestures dramatically::
Tochi from Revenge of the Nerds
Oh I drink to that!
Strengths: Vast scientific knowledge, screaming for vengeance, drunk tricycle riding
Weaknesses: Nerd, the letters L and R, preternatural obsession with hair pie
Ah yes, the resurgence of the college party film that began with Animal House passes the baton to the venerable Revenge of the Nerds series. (disclaimer: only the first two, anything else reeks of burning dogshit) Tochi breaks down stereotypes of Asians being poor drivers and even worse drinkers. Tochi is key to the Tri-Lambs victory against the rotten, but handsome, Alpha Betas and their Pi counterparts. Tochi is apprentice to this man:
Booger aka Dudley Dawson
Strengths: Blowing the fuckers up, wonderjoints, belching contests
Weaknesses: Filth, Omega Mu(the moos), preternatural obsession with hair pie
Booger is a piece of work. This slice of human debris is a primary character in the films. That is also to say, primarily drunk and disgusting. Booger is seen constantly drinking and smoking his way through Adams College...that is when is he not combing the high schools for dates. Booger assists his fraternity to win the utterly fanciful campus games by defeating Ogre during a beer-fueled belching contest. Very academic and cosmopolitan, Dudley Dawson is the epitome of refinement.
During the second film, Booger hones his...skills under this horrid man:
Edgar Po Wong. They call him Snotty.
Strengths: Fuck you. Who died and made you God?
Weaknesses: Fuck you. Who died and made you God?
Snotty is encountered shortly into the second film, as the idiots travel to Florida. Like most of America's elderly, Snotty has come to the Hotel Coral Essex presumably to die in his own waste. Even the veteran Booger finds Snotty's putrescence appalling. Snotty has an impressive knowledge of chemistry and cocktails that would gag a billy goat.
Most of the 1980's college films have a rich and diverse grouping of drunks. Indeed, some purists might question the omission of Ogre from this list. Fair point. But then again, go fuck yourself.

ReplyDeleteWhat quality films, to produce so many good drunks just doesn't happen enough these days. Also shows how drinking crosses all boundaries, even collage social classes.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me, miss. I just want you to know that I don't intend to sleep with another woman until I'm back here in your arms with my head resting between your creamy thighs. -Booger
