Because this movie was dreadfully boring and could not have possibly been less funny. After hearing about how great this movie is for my entire life, I was expecting to at least be mildly amused or chuckle a couple times. I pity you folks who are about 20 years older than me and grew up thinking this was good. Yuck.
shareWow, bet you are fun at parties. Do you even know what humor is? It's a classic.

Judging from your post history you watch alot of gay movies
shareIt's not one joke here or there that's supposed to be funny in itself, although they are - it's the situational ridiculousness of the entire college scene of that time, rules made to be broken, people being poseurs and exposed for hypocritical, moral ambiguities or literally too cool for school kids acting out seemingly before their time - all within an antiquated system - has immense potential for making fun of straight fools, control fools, out if control idiot fools alike. Hilarity at a state college
in the early '60s --especially with such a pronounced "us" vs.
"them" mentality could be sad, brutal, melancholy or funny. This movie chose funny. Humorous characterizations during pledging, ROTC training, in the dean's office, road trips, hanging out, going after girls, devising test-answer-theft, wild parties, and other excesses might be funnier to people that experienced American college, but funny bits and characters doing crazy inane things like in this movie are typically laugh out loud funny to anyone. I concede that audiences that relate to the situations will find the humor funnier than those that
cannot.
