Old School: 2 lines the host's read ×2

  1. lineage (genre lineage): Animal House ⇒ Old School (the host's read). Animal House started the habit of a winnable conflict set-piece that comedies copied for ten years, and Old School revived it.
    “I think Animal House started it and then the next 10 years of comedy is ripped off”

Hollywood Nights: 1 line the host's read ×1

  1. unmapped (knockoff): Animal House ⇒ Hollywood Nights (the host's read). Hollywood Nights is called an Animal House runoff set in the past.
    “That was like an animal house runoff”
