ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC COMEDY SPEECHES EVER
Some movie speeches are designed to inspire an audience.
Others are designed to make you laugh.
And then there is Bluto's legendary speech from National Lampoon's Animal House.
John Belushi takes what should be a serious moment and turns it into one of the most ridiculous, energetic, and unforgettable scenes in 1970s comedy.
In the clip, Bluto Blutarsky discovers that the Delta House is in serious trouble.
The fraternity has been expelled from campus, and the situation looks hopeless.
Instead of accepting defeat, Bluto suddenly decides that the Deltas need one final push.
What follows is absolute comedy madness.
Movieclips describes the moment as Bluto delivering a spirited speech that is also famously inaccurate in its historical references.
BLUTO REFUSES TO ACCEPT DEFEAT
The scene begins with the Deltas looking defeated.
Their situation has become almost impossible to fix.
But Bluto does not seem interested in giving up.
He immediately challenges the idea that everything is finished.
His confidence is enormous.
His reasoning is questionable.
And his delivery is completely unforgettable.
That combination is what makes the scene work.
Belushi...
