1* Otter's ChewbaccaDefense at the disciplinary hearing.
2* The Delta's attack on the parade in the film's climax.
3* Otter managing to get laid (and get dates for all of his friends) by [[RefugeInAudacity pretending to be the nonexistent fiancé of a girl that died in an explosion]]. ''And it works!'' Otter may be a HandsomeLech who [[AllMenArePerverts thinks with his dick]], but god ''damn'', the man gets results!
4** Although this moment has aged rather poorly to modern audiences given the QuestionableConsent it takes to make it happen.
5** Otter's room during the toga party -- it rivals anything from a Film/JamesBond movie!
6* Bluto's RousingSpeech [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acSPCEHejGY right before the climax of the film]]. While [[EpicFail hilariously subverted at first]], the second half really does get Delta House together for a LastStand.
7--> '''Bluto:''' [[WhatTheHellHero ...What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh?]] [[JustThinkOfThePotential This could be the greatest night of our lives]], [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech but you're gonna let it be the worst]]. "''[[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble]].''" Well just '''[[LiteralAssKissing KISS MY ASS from now on!]]''' Not me! I'm not gonna take this! '''[[DeanBitterman WORMER]], he's a DEAD man! [[TheDragon MARMALARD]], DEAD! [[TheNeidermeyer NEIDER]]-''[[TheNeidermeyer MEYEEEERRRR]]''...!'''
8--> '''Otter''': [[FinishingEachOthersSentences -Dead!]] Bluto's right! [[AxCrazy Psychotic...]] [[DumbassHasAPoint but absolutely right]]. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint but that could take years]] [[{{Metaphorgotten}} and cost millions of lives]]. No, I think [[RefugeInAudacity we have to go all out]]. I think that this situation... absolutely requires... [[SelfDeprecation a really futile and stupid gesture...]] be done on somebody's part!
9--> '''Bluto:''' [[FearlessFool We're just the guys to do it...]]
10--> ({{Beat}})
11--> '''Boon:''' [stands up] Let's do it.
12--> '''Bluto:''' '''[[ScreamingWarrior Let's DO]] ''[[ScreamingWarrior IIIITTTT!!!]]'''''
13--> ([[MisfitMobilizationMoment all of the Deltas stand up and run out with Bluto]])
14* Pinto deciding to listen to his better nature and not molest a drunk unconscious Clorette. It's pretty amazing to see this raucous comedy from a far less PC time actually lay out a MoralEventHorizon line its heroes won't cross.
15* Bluto casually catching a beer bottle thrown at him.
16** Even better, Flounder catching ''a half-dozen'' items thrown at him in the grocery store, in a single take.
17* D-Day's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first scene]] has him riding his motorcycle into the frat house and up the stairs and casually offering Pinto a beer.
