Ridiculous Moments in Movie History: Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise


I was flipping through the channels late last night and came across this classic. I caught the movie about halfway through. At a national greek conference in Ft. Lauderdale the hated Alpha Beta fraternity had introduced a ballot question that would establish a mandatory fitness requirement, a requirement that Lambda Lambda Lambda would surely fail.

But don't worry, the nerds had a plan.

They cleverly rigged the neon sign of the "HOTEL CORRAL ESSEX" to now read "HOT ORAL SEX". Naturally, a traffic jam occurs and pandemonium ensues as all walks of life flock in to get in on the action. However when everybody shows up the nerds put on an electronic/rap/rock concert to encourage people to vote, "no on 15!". Everyone is easily won over, and balloons are released. The nerds have done the impossible.

Wait, what?

Had legions of horny men showed up then been serenaded by a gaggle of men (NERDS mind you!), that hotel would have been burned to the fucking ground.

This scene was only slightly more ridiculous than the ending where the nerds, stranded on a desert island, discover unused military equipment and storm the hotel in Ft. Lauderdale where the greek council is voting yet again bar the "Tri-Lambs" from membership. After millions of dollars of property damage, vundernerd Lewis Skolnick punches out the Alpha Beta president and Ogre to defects to Lambda Lambda Lambda. The once enviable collective IQ of the Tri-Lamb fraternity plummets considerably.

I never understood why the "unused military equipment" also included camoflauge bikinis for the girls...is that standard military issue?
