FHM Catches Up With the Coolest Nerds Ever
"This is bullshit. Pan down. I want bush."

Nope, it's not a TV director's command at a White House press conference. It's none other than Dudley "Booger" Dawson ordering a better voyeuristic view of the Pi Delta Pi sorority's finest.

In its August 2004 issue, FHM reunites much of the Revenge of the Nerds cast 20 years after the movie's release. And what a movie it was.

Known best for being a work so great even Ted McGinley couldn't screw it up — like he did Happy Days, Love Boat and Married ... With ChildrenNerds taught us that a frush doesn't beat a pair of sixes, that nothing kicks a frat bash into gear like spinning Are You Ready For The Sex Girls? by Gleaming Spires, and that those Mus sure can party.

FHM's retro feature isn't nearly as great online as it is in the magazine, which includes updated photos of Betty Childs, Ogre, Takashi and more, but it does share with surfers some things you did not know about the movie. Such as the fact that Curtis Armstrong accepted the role of Booger only because he needed the money. And all this time I thought it was because he loved to pick his nose on camera.

Memorable Quotes From Revenge of the Nerds:

Poindexter: Wait. Wait. Would you rather live in the ascendency of a society or in its decline?
Omega Mu Girl: Poindexter, are we going to fuck, or what?

Takashi: Hair pie? [Takes picture.] Sank you. Hair pie? [Takes picture] Sank you.

Coach Harris: Enough of the social bullshit. Grab a cot. Move it or lose it!

Gilbert: She's not that kind of girl, Booger.
Booger: Why? Does she have a penis?

Louis: There's 6,127 students at Adams, 58% of which are girls.
Gilbert: So?
Louis: So, that's 7,107.32 boobs.

Booger: Do you have a room to rent?
Mr. Stewart: No for rent.
Booger: I thought it was for rent.
Mr. Stewart: Fuck off.

Stan Gable: What are you looking at, nerd?
Booger: I thought I was looking at my mother's old douche-bag, but that's in Ohio.

Judy: Maybe we should eat?
Harold Wormser: Maybe we should watch TV?
Booger: Hey guys... [opens his leather jacket to reveal some marijuana cigarettes] ... wonder joints.

Takashi: Maybe we should have robster craws.
Booger: [Strumming his guitar.] What the fuck are robster craws?

Louis: Have any of you guys got dates for Saturday night besides Gilbert?
Lamar: I have.
Booger: Yeah, but that's with a guy.
Louis: Well, what about you Booger?
Booger: Hey, I've been out combing the high schools all day.

By the way, if you don't know at least a few lines from the movie-ending rap, you're not allowed in my apartment. Here's the entire diddy:

Clap your hands everybody, and everybody clap your hands!

We're Lambda Lambda Lambda and Omega Mu
We come here on stage tonight to do a show for you

We've got a rockin' rhythm and a high tech sound
That'll make you move your body down to the ground

We've got Poindexter on the violin
And Louis and Gilbert will be joinin' in

We've got Booger Presley on a mean guitar
And a rap by little old me Lamar

We've got Takashi beating on his gong
The boys and the Mus are clapping along

And just when you thought you'd seen it all
Along comes a Lambda four feet tall

So Wormser come on out here on the floor
So we can move our bodies like never before

Breeeeaaaakkk!

Other Web Finds:

X-Entertainment.com's '80s Commercials — Not only does this retro page feature the seared dog meat known as Mighty Dog, but there's also a downloadable video of Roddy Piper going nuts in a spot for the WWF. Ya gotta check it out. Favorite Piper quote ever, of course, came in the movie They Live. "I came to kick ass and chew bubble gum. And I'm all out of bubble gum." I use that maybe once a month in some situation or another.

The 500 Coolest Chicks Ever — A lot of sci-fi crap in there, but a well-put-together ranking that includes some good writing and decent pics.

Mark Cuban Bets Against Google — The Mavericks owner details a new search engine, Ice Rocket, which he's "working with." So far I'm not overly impressed.

Police Academy Figurines — I saw a bit of the classic flick Tuesday, and I realized you really don't catch all the jokes till about the 1,564th viewing. I loved all the Tackleberry dialogue ("If you want penetration..."). And the shower singing. "Captain Mauser. Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa!"

Hollywood Height Chart — Best actor inch-for-inch? Dustin Hoffman at 5-5½. Most ass for a midget? Prince at 5-3. Fight I wanna see? Lurch (Ted Cassidy; 6-9) vs. Bull (Richard Moll; 6-8).

Photos: Last Night for Village Idiot — Not my pics, but from someone who braved the crowd to say goodbye to one of NYC's most-beloved dive bars.

Ol' 96-er Cheeseburger — A six-pound burger offered by a restaurant in Pennsylvania. Patrons get three hours to finish and no one has done it. Included in the $23.95 price tag, a half-head of lettuce and two full onions. (Thanks, John)

Ralph Wiggum Soundboard — For you Simpsons freaks.

Worst Songs From the Greatest Rockers — Some good picks here, including Who's Zoomin' Who? by Aretha Franklin. I gotta go with Glory Days as Bruce Springsteen's worst, if only because his collection of great songs is so extensive I can't believe anybody would play it on the juke. Way too popular for what it is.

Comments: FHM Catches Up With the Coolest Nerds Ever

Worse than "57 Channels (and Nothin' On)"?

Posted by Ken Goldstein at August 4, 2004 2:33 AM

I want that 6 pound burger!!!
Holy Cow, that's just disgusting, but for $24 it might be worth the photo op.
I smell a roadtrip!!!


Sometimes Americans just sicken me with their waste. They ought to send that burger to Sudan.

I loved that Nerds article in FHM. It is always funny to read about "behind the scenes" stuff. Like the woman that wanted to give the 15 year old Wormser a bj (which was his first) and then she was double teamed by Poindexter and Lamar. What a great life! This month was an exceptionally good FHM. VH1 has a new show called "Behind the Movie" which basically is a show with the same concept as this FHM article. Last night, the show about Animal House was on. Another classic.

One of the worst songs (and also ironic)by someone good is "Kiss the Bride" by Elton John. I also remember Kiss doing a disco type song but the name of the song escapes me...

I grabbed that FHM, where was Anthony Edwards?
maybe after ER he's too cool to acknowledge Nerds?

Awesome! finally a post with no mention of the Yankees! or Sox!

thanks

There were some notables missing in the magazine, Ted McGinley and John Goodman among them.

Posted by Paul Katcher at August 4, 2004 12:12 PM

That burger totally reminds me of that movie "The Great Outdoors" staring the late John Candy and Dan Aykroyd. Amazing.

Posted by Nick at August 4, 2004 12:48 PM

Dammit- now I have that stupid song in my head! Get it out!!!!!!!!

Posted by Kristi at August 4, 2004 2:07 PM

you're not done, there's still some gristle on your plate.


and don't forget the Simpsons, Homer did a big steak contest too.

Most bang for the buck has to be Paul Newman- only 5'9" and I don't know a woman alive who would've turned him away in his prime. Hell, I wouldn't turn him away now.

BTW- I was wondering if you've watched any movies made past 1990? Your favorites all seem to be cheesy ones from the 1980's...

Posted by lucy at August 4, 2004 5:13 PM

Heh. That article rocks. I can remember when that (long anticipated) came on cable and you could watch it like 5 times in a weekend on HBO -back when there were like 3 premium channels.

The links as always rock.
I am with Tequila Dave, ROAD TRIP! Can you get that 6lb. monster to go? You would be putting that in your vehicle ala Flintstone with it tipping over on its side.

Cuban is just nuts enough to do it with the Ice Rocket engine. I remember when Ryan Perry was touting that engine and asking folks on GorillaMask to try it.

Tall People - You gotta love Richard Kiel as Happy Gilmore's boss and hardly ever mentioned, but known but tons of nerds, Peter Mayhew aka Chewbacca.

Posted by Shumpy at August 4, 2004 5:48 PM

The Kiss song you are thinking of is probably "I Was Made For Loving You" off of "Dynasty." Terrible song, decent album with a couple of cheese metal gems (Ace's "2000 Man" being a prime example).

Posted by henry at August 4, 2004 5:49 PM

i love when lewis yells at the pi's - "we love you when you're mad!" t

Revenge of the Nerds is a great flick. The sequel, not so much, although it did have Courtney Thorne-Smith in it, so maybe it wasn't THAT bad...

Posted by Kevin at August 4, 2004 10:19 PM

I remember being a kid and hearing 'I was made for loving you' at the grocery store. Then I pretended not to be a fan anymore.

Posted by Danny at August 5, 2004 10:53 AM

Yes, the sequel wasn't very good. As you say though, it wasn't so bad, thanks to Courtney Thorne-Smith's luminous loveliness.

Here is proof of Courtney's absolute hotness.
