Lite-Brite is a toy created by Hasbro. Kids make pictures and signs by placing colored pegs in a screen. To make the toy even neater, you can plug in the toy to turn on a light that makes the pegs light up.

I liked the dead-on "Dean Vernon" (the character was called "Dean Wormer" in the movie, but was played by the actor John Vernon") impression, and some of the identical scenes. The snooty frat boys looked sort of like their counterparts, too!

My VERY favorite bit? Bender's Belushi move on the way to the panty raid! The ladder falling backwards (after the fat one's line aping Stephen Furst) was then just to be expected!

(Can ya tell that "Animal House" is one of my favorite movies?)

Also, the house itself is a straight take-off of the Animal House house, except of course for different letters.

Didja notice....

...Fry is more of a monkey that Gunther (???). Guh...

...Leela has terrible problems with dates?

...The dorm sign kept falling down and being replaced then finally drawn on the wall and shows a goat eating the signs?

Did you notice the scene where the paper sign falls off the wall? And the later scene where the name is written in chalk on the wall, and a goat is eating the paper sign on the ground.

"The Paper Chase:" The professor who teaches the 20th-Century history class is drawn, and voiced like, John Houseman.

"Up the Creek:" Another forgettable 1980s frat movie in which the climactic event is a raft race in which every house cheats like mad.

I also like that Robot House's letters � Epsilon Rho Rho � spell out "ERR," as in "error."

For some reason the scene brought to mind an old "Peanuts" movie, where Charlie Brown and the gang rafted down the river in competition with a team that cheated at every move. In the end, Snoopy won.

climactic

No, Woodstock did.

One of those little critters did, I haven't seen those things in years.

Well... I was a little disappointed. Mars doesn't have has much gravitational pull as the Earth here and I didn't see anyone walking around with a lighter, bouncier step. Ruined everything for me.

Perhaps in the process of the teraformation of Mars, an electomagnetic field was added to the planetary core. In the process, Mars Customs demands that all visitors, residents and illegal humans wear magnetic strips on the soles of their shoes. It's the only way I can think of to explain the tacky theme park on the moon as well.

I agree. Also, given's Mars' atmosphere, the sky would've een at least two or three shades darker than that. And I know for a fact that a common monkey has neither the brain capacity nor the proper vocal chords to speak like that. I'm sorry, they're going to have to get on the ball down there, or they'll lose me as a viewer.

FOR THE MORE DENSE, THE PRECEDING PARAGRAPH WAS SARCASM.

Nah, you're thinking of the Mars atmosphere circa 1999. After a massive terraforming project, Mars is more like Earth in 3000. Notice they were all breathing the ambient air without a problem.

Density? Aha!

That's why they weren't bouncing around on Mars. Its density was increased so the gravitational pull would match that of Earth!

So what's sarcasm?

I'd say they inject Dark Matter into the core of the planet to increase it's gravitational field as part of it's teraforming. The moon probably just used Artificial Gravity.

Did anybody notice Fry's killer short-long back at Coney Island? Then again I would only find that funny..... =)

Did anybody think it looked like Archie Andrews' haircut, circa 1975?
