Animal House Guitar Scene

Animal House: Scene where John Belushi finds a guy playing guitar on the stairs.

[earl]

That look on Belushi's face before he grabs the guitar is priceless and totally makes the scene great.

Hahahaha the way Belushi says "sorry" is brilliant. It's as if he was left with no choice but to smash his guitar.

[smittykins]

The "Sorry" makes the whole scene. :)

[lbomfs]

You know he'd be playing Wonderwall if this was nowadays

[Mokkari]

"The difference between American and British humor is, in ANIMAL HOUSE an American comic would want to play Belushi smashing the guitar while a Brit would play the idiot guitar player" -Stephen Fry

[ardalla]

"I gave my love a chicken that had no bones." Of course Belushi was upset. He wanted FOUR fried chickens WITH the bones and a coke.

Your story may not have had an end, but your song sure as hell did.

This damned scene still cracks me up, over 45 years since it hit the screen. 😆

(And, 45 years! WTF?!)

[logdizz]

This scene had some improv. The guitar was cut so that it would break after one hit, and John just kept smashing it which made the scene way more epic in my opinion

[HigherMammal]

"Anyway here's Wonderwa-"

[jkrfan]

I heard this was ad-libbed.  Belushi supposedly forgot his lines so just did this instead. Genius!

[MarzJonp]

I love when Belushi snatches the Guitar and the guy sang Slightly off key for that split second.

The shit Kills me every time. Lmfao

There’s a reason I watch this movie Time after time again, and it’s this scene here. It’s truly one of the greatest moments that never gets old for me.

That was a real Guitar...
Steve Bishop has that Guitar (Whats left of it) Mounted in his House
That hole left behind is Still there at that Location with a plaque...

[gdoumerc]

Belushi's facial expressions and the sheepish "sorry" at the end. Kills me every time.

[billny]

The guy with the guitar was actually Stephen Bishop...wrote tons of songs..

[Natedawg]

I love the way his face is literally scanning how much this hits on the hateability scale

[RammusTheArmordillo]

I'm here because Community makes a lot of pop culture references I don't always have.

[SPUDMAN]

The funniest part, outside of Belushi's deadpan contemplation, is that viscous backswing using both walls. That kills me.

[MANIAC]

I can relate to John Belushi in this scene because I have been kept awake for hours by some jackass playing guitar at a part right next door
