How to make a campus comedy by Steve Pink. Must have a crusty old Dean. Must also have snooty boys who do the bidding of said crusty old Dean. Now we need a cheeky young pup (step forward Mr Long, you’ll do nicely) fighting the system in some way. He will head up the rowdy party house, or in this case a fictitious rival college. They are the good guys.

It would help if you include a scene in front of a stern board near the end. No, it doesn’t matter what kind of board you use. All that matters is that they are won over by the hero and his merry band of ne’er do wells. Then, everybody punches the air and cheers. All hail Animal House! That sort of thing.
But wait a minute. Where is the toga party? Where is the actor/character called Corey? Tut tut. I mean, if you’re going to make a campus comedy that looks more like a parody of a campus comedy on The Simpsons than an actual campus comedy, somebody ought to be wearing a sheet, right?
