The Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards (1978)

I saw National Lampoon's Animal House in the theater back when it came out and thought it was hilarious, but it wasn't until I worked as a Delta House lawyer in an Omega House legal shop that I realized just how brilliant its insights into the human condition are. Better than the Bible.

"Will that work?"

"It's gotta work better than the truth."
