Revenge of the Nerds is a comedy classic! I have loved this movie ever since the 80s. I knew Ted McGinley as Stan Gable before he was Jefferson D'Arcy.
I showed it to my son when he was young and told him to walk tall in high school when he came to that age. I knew he'd be bullied for his brains otherwise, just like I was. It worked for him.
Robert carradine is one of the illustrious carradine clan.his dad was john, a classic in himself, older brothers david ( king fu) and Keith. A good movie to see all of them in together is the long riders.
My friend is in that movie. She was a student at the college at the time. She is directly behind in the middle of the arm wrestling scene when Booger picks his nose.
I don't believe we will ever see a movie like Revenge of the Nerds hit movie theaters ever again in this PC world we live in. And that, dear viewers, makes me sad. What do you all think?
I liked it. I saw it before the age of 10. the great appeal of the 1st & 2nd was the Raunchy humor & above all else diversity. movies will not be made the same after the 90’s 😮
Always made we wonder why they didn't mention in the movie she was disabled, having no tactile or olfactory senses. I mean, that is the only possible way she wouldn't have instantly known it wasn't her boyfriend. The only other possiblity is she knew it wasn't her boyfriend and just didn't care but if that was the case then having a problem with the scene would be sIut shaming.
Yeah mate, I don't think normal people saw this and thought it was a great or appropriate way to pick up a girl. Why do people like you always go there. It's like watching Tom and Jerry or the road runner and thinking its training future murderous psychopaths' cause we're rooting for the violence.
Quick correction: the movie was filmed at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, not the Arizona University, which isn't a real place, at least at the time.
I remember when they were working on the remake in 2006. I have a revenge of the nerds bag 2007 from comic con when they were trying to promote it. They wanted people to do their best need laugh in front of a camera.
Yeah, why should people be upset about trying to make a rape scene funny and romantic, right? Fuck you. Any time someone uses the word "woke" disparagingly, we all know what the person is really saying - "WAAAAHHHH, why isn't it socially acceptable to be a bigoted douchebag any more?"
Nerds in Paradise was flawed but somehow still manages to feel like it's part of this universe established in the original. III & IV are about as bad as it gets. made for TV nonsense.
It does not need to be remade. Like you said, never remake the classics. Plus people don't really know what humor is anymore. Both from a writing perspective and an audience one. The writers will just try and make it like American Pie but grosser and without any of the heart or emotion of the original. And audiences really don't get these types of movies anymore. Everyone is too butthurt about every single thing in life that they wouldn't enjoy the movie for what it is. I love this movie. Though I will say that the original and part 2 are the only good ones in the series.
My nephew legitimately laughs the "nerd laugh"... I can't even describe how fitting it is. I've never heard anyone else laugh that way unintentionally.
When I was a kid I went on side jobs with my dad, who was a carpet layer. One weekend he told me we were going to a special job. We did the job and nothing at all seemed special but he kept telling me, "you'll see". When Revenge of the Nerds came out, he took me to see it and thats when I realized we had installed the carpet in the Lambda house. True story.
@@djbanzai True, I never said he didn't. But more people, especially millennials, know who Eddie Murphy is and are familiar with his laugh. Most younger peeps today would be like, "Who the F is HORSHACK"?
@@davestanford4103 Correct, my mistake. First movie he's referring to seeing bush on a woman. Second movie he's referring to weed when they got stranded on the island :)
I disagree. There are still movies being made that push the envelope of good taste and political correctness. I will say this, I wouldn't want a movie like this to ever be remade, especially in its original spirit. Movies like this, Porky's, Caddyshack, etc, are very much a product of their time/era and if they were remade verbatim they would very anachronistic. However, some of the themes are still very relevant today.

@@Tom_Van_Zandt Sorry, bud. You're deluding yourself if you think they could be made these days. It seems like you've gotten too used to the current political climate and built yourself a bubble.
@@Tom_Van_Zandt Agreed, many of these movies are definitely a product of their times and wouldn't do well today because many people wouldn't be able to relate.

Most of those who enjoyed "Nerds" should also enjoy "Real Genius," which came out a year later. Michelle Meyrink was also in that one and has a far better part. The then-unknown Val Kilmer stars in it and has some of the funniest lines I ever heard in a comedy.
I have watched Real Genius but I found it quite dull. Val kilmer does a good job at playing Chris Knight however the pacing is Incredibly slow. I wanted to enjoy it but I was bored out of my brains. I may give it another chance.
They Do create their own fraternity. However, a fraternity needs a national sponsorship, tri-lambs became that sponsorship, and accepted them into their national fraternity, making them a chapter house of there fraternity.
Napoleon Dynomite was the real nerd. Few like his type. Minty is wrong about times changing for nerd. Nerds were never into anything trendy. Thus, paradoxically nulling modern "nerds" to hipsters.

@@patrckhh20 You shut up! Some of those criticisms are legitimate but you arrogant hypocrites don't seem to care until YOUR feelings get hurt. Sure sounds like a bully to me
I was a nerd in school during the 80's, and it was a living hell. I self loathed myself so much that I enlisted in the Army. . . .Funny thing was, a lot of other nerds had the same idea. Some of my best friends in life came from that experience. . . . it also allowed me to be able to embrace who I was. . . Im now approaching 50, still a nerd and very proud of it. You could say that Revenge of the Nerds was a beacon of hope for many just waiting to escape school and join the real world.
I was a punk in the 80s and the nerds were the guys we played Dungeons and Dragons with, so we didn't let anyone mess with them. Good time! The nerds ran the school for three years.
@@sid2112 It surprised me so much when Vin Deisel gave an interview where he showed he really did play Dungeons and Dragons because he name checked the manuals and mentioned the Complete Stratagist. It really shouldn't have because in my college D&D group not everybody was what would traditionally be considered a Nerd.
Glad you hung in there. BTW what you said reminded me that during commercial breaks for Alias (a show where the mains are very physically adept spies although Marshal their tech guy was also important) they would show commercials trying to recruit Nerds for the CIA because as the commercial said they don't just need people to rapell down walls, they need people to build robot mosquitoes with tiny cameras in them.
This is from a time when being a nerd was still considered uncool. It still kind of annoys me the way nerd culture was hijacked by the mainstream. By the same people who rejected us for so long.
I still find it difficult to forgive those who made fun of me relentlessly in high school for still being into comic books, video games and cartoons, only to see them now, over 20 years later, fully embracing the same things that I never "grew out of."
That and when Toshiro was doing the bike race, "Toshiro how are you feeling?" after his 18th beer And he answers, "f××king great!" 2 of my favs during the greek competition but there's so many more too!
Three cult classic movies filmed in Tucson in a short period in the early 80s. Revenge of the Nerds, Can't Buy Me Love and The Wraith. Just One of the Guys was filmed in Scottsdale about the same time.
Believe me when I say this, being a nerd in the early 80s wasn't fun, we got picked on and bullied and it was certainly not fun times and now it's cool to be a nerd...... you're welcome.
Try being a nerd in the mid 1960s before Flower Power even made the scene. I was bounced ofv a few lockers by total strangers in high school. It built my character and left me with a lifetime distaste for the sort of low IQ bullies who go in for sports and never read a book. You can tell I'm still rather bitter. Revenge of the Nerds was like a salve on my psychic wounds.
It sucked. I stopped playing D&D and doing some other nerd things as soon as I got into high school because "it wasn't cool". I never stopped reading or or watching what I wanted when I was alone, but I did the sports thing and it was almost impossible to have nerd friends AND jock friends (I didn't turn into a bully, I just didn't have time for both). Fact is, the hot girls were all at the "cool" parties, and that's where the beer and music was too, so that's where I was - but I feel like I was forced to choose and I was robbed of my nerdish tendencies because of the era. I envy kids that could be jocks AND be nerds AND be cool.
@@gator9339 Good for you. I barely noticed it at the time, it's just looking back I realize that I grew apart from my "nerdy" friends - mainly because I didn't have (make) time for them. Considering I never became a professional athlete, I probably made the wrong choice!
@Green Giant actually they were/are called multicultural fraternities. And yeah bud the late 70s and early 80s was when African American became the preferred nomenclature. Nigro Black and colored where all used in bad taste by the time this movie came out
@Green Giant In the Greek system they have been called multicultural forever. The only place I could see them being called a black frat would be at a HBCU. Yes we all know them as black frats im just saying your first comment said Afro-American didn't exist in the 80s but it really did and thats when ppl started using more commonly to describe Black ppl and Black frats aren't a thing like even in the 80s they were called multicultural
I just had a thought because of how many people want to cancel the movie over the "rape" scene. If according to some knowingly having sex but regretting it afterwards is rape, would unknowingly having sex but being happy about it make it no longer rape?
@@michaelplowman8674 hmm, probably, but then, she wanted to have sex and if he refused "saying no to a woman is as bad as rape" so I guess he didn't have a choice. Yes, I've actually seen an article that claimed refusing to have sex with a woman is as bad as rape.
Deplorable Dave shut the fuck up about “free speech” it’s literally not possible for that to be taken away just because someone said “that’s offensive” doesn’t mean you have to complain about “fwee swpeech ;((((“
"I thought I was looking at my mother's old douche-bag, but that's in Ohio" - best line ever. This is one of my fave movies, I have lost count of the amount of times I have seen it since I first saw it in 1985. It's a lot better than Animal House. This movie also has, I reckon, one of the greatest music numbers ever. Please do not remake this, ever.
Can everyone with their #METOO PC views on the ''rape'' scene kindly rewind the video and return it to Blockbuster and choose a movie from the Disney section. Thank you.
In Brazil the title is "A vingança dos Nerds". But "Nerd" was a word never used in portuguese until these film. We can say that the term was introduced in my country by this series of movies.
I first saw this movie around 1987. I was 13. I literally cried when the nerds prevailed. I still LOVE this movie. I quote it all the time. For example, I randomly tell people that whatever they are doing has been "modified to accommodate their limp-writsted throwing style" :-)
" Don't remake classics, make something original!" Couldnt have said it better myself. This is why you're awesome Minty! Keep up the good work my friend.
Bonus fact: Eddie Deezen(the ultimate 80s nerd) was considered TOO nerdy for the movie. He did audition for it, but was rejected. I know this, because he's a friend of mine, and he related this story.
Oh my freakin' God, he would have been perfect for this movie!! He did typically play very high energy characters, maybe that's why, given most of the cast seems to be calm by comparison. Still, might have made a good foil for the rest of the gang, thinking even he was too nerdy by comparison. XD
I remember seeing this movie in the 1980's at my College Movie Theater and the place was packed. I remember one student every 15 minutes yelling out " NERDS!" Fond memories of my early 20's with this movie. Cheers!
Sho nuff! Funny enough RLM did a review on it with Macaulay Culkin and Mike had never seen it before then. That's like being a child of the 80s and never seeing the goonies. How could such a thing happen?
One of the first dvds i ever bought, took me way back to being a kid watching this movie during school holidays, so many jokes i was too young to pick up on when i was a kid. still a good laugh
@Sean moynihan I got it at the now sadly defunct "Hastings Entertainment", they also had a boxset of all the porky's movies but I never got around to buying that because that collection as well as the nerds one was well over 25 dollars and that was a bit much for my budget.

I was a punk in the 80s and the nerds were the guys we played Dungeons and Dragons with, so we didn't let anyone mess with them. Good time! The nerds ran the school for three years.
The 80s ruled
@@sid2112 It surprised me so much when Vin Deisel gave an interview where he showed he really did play Dungeons and Dragons because he name checked the manuals and mentioned the Complete Stratagist. It really shouldn't have because in my college D&D group not everybody was what would traditionally be considered a Nerd.
Glad you hung in there. BTW what you said reminded me that during commercial breaks for Alias (a show where the mains are very physically adept spies although Marshal their tech guy was also important) they would show commercials trying to recruit Nerds for the CIA because as the commercial said they don't just need people to rapell down walls, they need people to build robot mosquitoes with tiny cameras in them.
This is from a time when being a nerd was still considered uncool. It still kind of annoys me the way nerd culture was hijacked by the mainstream. By the same people who rejected us for so long.
I can understand that
I can understand that
Take it as a compliment... Because at the root of it all, it really is.
I still find it difficult to forgive those who made fun of me relentlessly in high school for still being into comic books, video games and cartoons, only to see them now, over 20 years later, fully embracing the same things that I never "grew out of."
One of the greatest 80s movies ever...
It could never be made today though. Anything funny in the past upsets snowflakes.
We’ve got bush!!!!!!!!
@JamesBuddell-fn6bz , hair pie, Sank you, hair pie, sank you very much.
This movie is a classic!! The javelin throw still makes me laugh to this day!!
It was specially designed for his limp wrists throwing style, 😆
That and when Toshiro was doing the bike race, "Toshiro how are you feeling?" after his 18th beer And he answers, "f××king great!" 2 of my favs during the greek competition but there's so many more too!
Three cult classic movies filmed in Tucson in a short period in the early 80s. Revenge of the Nerds, Can't Buy Me Love and The Wraith. Just One of the Guys was filmed in Scottsdale about the same time.
Fun fact: ' Booger' played 'Snot' in American Dad
Andystar He also played Dan on Dan Vs.
@@EvaFull As well as the scribe of God in Supernatural.
He was the video rental guy in Moody's Point.
They mention the moon room scene in an episode, and Snot claims he never saw Revenge of the Nerds hahaha
I thought it was a booger but it's snot.
"Excuse, please. But why do they call you Booger?"
"I dunno" (picking his nose)
LOVE IT LMAO
“Excuse, prease.”
we use to live in the jock frat house at the UofA they even had a ton of old photos and props from the movie in the basement.
When I was a kid in the late 80s I honestly thought Booger was MCA from Beastie Boys.
Believe me when I say this, being a nerd in the early 80s wasn't fun, we got picked on and bullied and it was certainly not fun times and now it's cool to be a nerd...... you're welcome.
Try being a nerd in the mid 1960s before Flower Power even made the scene. I was bounced ofv a few lockers by total strangers in high school. It built my character and left me with a lifetime distaste for the sort of low IQ bullies who go in for sports and never read a book. You can tell I'm still rather bitter. Revenge of the Nerds was like a salve on my psychic wounds.
It sucked. I stopped playing D&D and doing some other nerd things as soon as I got into high school because "it wasn't cool". I never stopped reading or or watching what I wanted when I was alone, but I did the sports thing and it was almost impossible to have nerd friends AND jock friends (I didn't turn into a bully, I just didn't have time for both). Fact is, the hot girls were all at the "cool" parties, and that's where the beer and music was too, so that's where I was - but I feel like I was forced to choose and I was robbed of my nerdish tendencies because of the era. I envy kids that could be jocks AND be nerds AND be cool.
Stuffed into a locker and gassed with an entire can of Right Guard sprayed into the vents.
@@nickh5081 I used to hang out with nerds and jocks in high school. I wasn't classified with the nerds but I wasn't a jock either. I was in the middle
@@gator9339 Good for you. I barely noticed it at the time, it's just looking back I realize that I grew apart from my "nerdy" friends - mainly because I didn't have (make) time for them. Considering I never became a professional athlete, I probably made the wrong choice!
They didn't form their own fraternity. Lamda Lamda Lamda was an all African American frat. They didn't send a picture to them.
They couldn't get into any of the fraternities already established on campus, so they got together and formed their own chapter for that campus.
Right. Their own chapter. Not a new fraternity.
@Green Giant lol. If you say so bro!!
@Green Giant actually they were/are called multicultural fraternities. And yeah bud the late 70s and early 80s was when African American became the preferred nomenclature. Nigro Black and colored where all used in bad taste by the time this movie came out
@Green Giant In the Greek system they have been called multicultural forever. The only place I could see them being called a black frat would be at a HBCU. Yes we all know them as black frats im just saying your first comment said Afro-American didn't exist in the 80s but it really did and thats when ppl started using more commonly to describe Black ppl and Black frats aren't a thing like even in the 80s they were called multicultural
Liquid heat scene was the best hilarious moment of the whole movie
Ah, like salad
I miss the good ole days when movies were actually funny. You know, before the millennials ruined everything with PC and awokness
I just had a thought because of how many people want to cancel the movie over the "rape" scene. If according to some knowingly having sex but regretting it afterwards is rape, would unknowingly having sex but being happy about it make it no longer rape?
@@michaelplowman8674 hmm, probably, but then, she wanted to have sex and if he refused "saying no to a woman is as bad as rape" so I guess he didn't have a choice.
Yes, I've actually seen an article that claimed refusing to have sex with a woman is as bad as rape.
Oh my god shut the fuck up about wokeness
@@gamerorp1684
Why? It is ruining the fabric of America and free speech. It IS a topic, like it or not.
Deplorable Dave shut the fuck up about “free speech” it’s literally not possible for that to be taken away just because someone said “that’s offensive” doesn’t mean you have to complain about “fwee swpeech ;((((“
Another fun fact, next to Porky's this movie has the highest amount of felonies committed by students in a film
I tried counting the felonies and fell asleep
Nerds wins hand down with rape, I don't think that happened in Porky's.
@@DerekScottBland ballbreaker had a firm grasp on a tallywhacker tho...
Nice my dad likes that movie
"Stand aside Mama I wanna see some of that Muff!!!
Ohhhh Hair 🥧 " 🤤😍
"I thought I was looking at my mother's old douche-bag, but that's in Ohio" - best line ever. This is one of my fave movies, I have lost count of the amount of times I have seen it since I first saw it in 1985. It's a lot better than Animal House. This movie also has, I reckon, one of the greatest music numbers ever. Please do not remake this, ever.
I totally agree with you it's an absolute classic and should never be remade and it's got some of the funniest lines ever put to a film.
I forgot totally about that line, so when I read it, I burst out laughing.
Honestly it’s my fav movie lol I’ve watched it thousands of times over the years and it never gets old haha
oh yes, when I didn't even know what it meant I remembered that line!
I own the boxed set, all 4 of them
This movie is just as great now as it was in the 80's. that was such a fun era for comedies!
So, so true!!
IKR look at the shite they produce these days...80s was a golden era for comedy before the PC brigade arrived 🙄
Somehow "boogah" just doesn't have the same punch as "Booger" 😂
This movie was filmed at the University of Arizona. Yes, it matters! LOL
“I thought I was looking at my mother’s old douchebag but that’s in Ohio.” -Booger
VERY underrated line.
@@bluedragonrob1
It definitely is.
One of the greatest lines of all time
"Nerds?! NEEEEERRRDS!!"
Can everyone with their #METOO PC views on the ''rape'' scene kindly rewind the video and return it to Blockbuster and choose a movie from the Disney section. Thank you.
In Brazil the title is "A vingança dos Nerds". But "Nerd" was a word never used in portuguese until these film. We can say that the term was introduced in my country by this series of movies.
I first saw this movie around 1987. I was 13. I literally cried when the nerds prevailed. I still LOVE this movie. I quote it all the time. For example, I randomly tell people that whatever they are doing has been "modified to accommodate their limp-writsted throwing style" :-)
If video stores were still a thing, I would totally rent "Minty's choice"!
Your love of nostalgia makes me happy!😃🌈
As of right now, there are two dislikes. It looks like a couple Alpha Betas found your video.
Quiet Corner probably PC millennials 🙄🤦🏻♂️😂
Nah, it’s John Goodman and the Asian who yelled at Brian Tochi.
Stan Gable and the ogre
Now the dislikes are at 14. Must be Adams Collage football team.
No swisha tweek, not the ogre. He’s a Tri-lam now!
To all the PC Babies out there, remember these words of wisdom...
Just repeat to yourself ‘it’s just a show, I should really just relax’
The people behind MST3K would tell you to go fuck yourself for misappropriating that line.
I want bush, pan down.
WE GOT BUSH!!!
TAKASHI: "Hair Pie!"
NERDS: **laugh**
POINDEXTER: **Boner**
XD
There a bunch of pigs 🐷
Pan down
What is hair pie 🥧
@@valkor73 "YOU are a PIG! P. I. G. pig!!"
" Don't remake classics, make something original!" Couldnt have said it better myself. This is why you're awesome Minty! Keep up the good work my friend.
“If you can accept it’s just a movie and not real....”
You’re asking for a miracle there.
Siskel and Ebert, a couple nerds, liked this movie? No way.
This was a great film .....very underrated. Very funny ....
underrated? I think this film is generally thought of as a comedy classic.
I see so many friends on this. My ex GF Lucy was the one who walked past Louis and his Dad as they stared at her butt.
She was my ex girlfriend too bud, high five!
Bonus fact: Eddie Deezen(the ultimate 80s nerd) was considered TOO nerdy for the movie. He did audition for it, but was rejected. I know this, because he's a friend of mine, and he related this story.
He would have made a great Poindexter.
Oh my freakin' God, he would have been perfect for this movie!! He did typically play very high energy characters, maybe that's why, given most of the cast seems to be calm by comparison. Still, might have made a good foil for the rest of the gang, thinking even he was too nerdy by comparison. XD
that's too bad, but at least he was in War Games
You tell him "Yo Deez! You was the bomb in Midnight Madness!"
DaveFu 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always laughed at Booger’s shirt in the movie that read “give me head until I’m dead” lol
He always had funny clothes. Pretty sure he had a who farted shirt too
What about his shirt that's all burnt up with holes and it says
who farted?
"High on stress"
@@piper888 i saw that one on Nerds 2
I remember seeing this movie in the 1980's at my College Movie Theater and the place was packed. I remember one student every 15 minutes yelling out " NERDS!" Fond memories of my early 20's with this movie. Cheers!
Hope one day Minty does one for Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon.
Sho nuff!
Funny enough RLM did a review on it with Macaulay Culkin and Mike had never seen it before then. That's like being a child of the 80s and never seeing the goonies. How could such a thing happen?
I upvote this!!!
Another movie I Love.
“LEROY!!!”
I said get yo hands off my women!
One of the first dvds i ever bought, took me way back to being a kid watching this movie during school holidays, so many jokes i was too young to pick up on when i was a kid. still a good laugh
When this movie came out in theaters, I was these character's ages-Just graduated from high school and about to start college in the summer of '84!
@Sean moynihan I bought a boxed set with all four films and it was called "Revenge of the nerds : The Atomic Wedgie Collection" lol.
@Sean moynihan I got it at the now sadly defunct "Hastings Entertainment", they also had a boxset of all the porky's movies but I never got around to buying that because that collection as well as the nerds one was well over 25 dollars and that was a bit much for my budget.
@Sean moynihan Now I officially feel old! LOL! Just kidding!
