A Plot: Determined to live the Animal House life in a college fraternity, Barry sets his sights on the polo-and-boat-shoes wearing Beta Zeta house. His first attempt to impress the recruiters as Bluto and Flounder from the movie fails, so he then attempts to be himself (as Big Tasty) and perform in the Beta Zeta talent show, with help from Adam and Dave Kim. After this too fails to earn him a pledge, Erica helps her brother see he already has a great fraternity in the JTP.
B Plot: With two kids gone at home, Bev tries to get Murray out of his chair and participating in some activities with her. When he won't budge, she decides to make him jealous by arranging events with Murray's friends, Bill Lewis and Vic.
- Can-Crushing Cranium: Barry attempts it, but can barely bend the can. He finally achieves it in The Tag.
- Wacky Fratboy Hijinks: Subverted. Barry expects joining a fraternity to be like Animal House. He goes to one and acts like Bluto, which only gets him thrown out.
