1. Bluto - Animal House
Back when the script for Animal House was first written, the character of Bluto was a much larger role, with a great deal more dialogue. John Belushi, upon taking the role, insisted that they cut most of his dialogue, saying that it would be funnier that way. The immortal performance proves that less is indeed more, as Belushi manages to steal the show from everyone else with only a few actual lines. From the zit impersonation to the fiery eleventh hour speech, this off-the-wall student is a comedy revelation. Belushi wrings humor from every precious second of screen time he gets, proving that you don't need to be the lead to be the star of the show. After all, college students across America don't have posters of Tim Matheson hanging in their dorm rooms, do they?
