Here's my newest theory:
The United States is fundamentally a republican country. Not the Republicans today. I mean republican: small government, free market, guns, etc. Democrats are the IT guys. They're the nerds that come in and fix the situation when the Republican machine has gone too far away from their republican ideals.
But while 'Revenge of the Nerds' was one of the best movies ever made, 'Revenge of the Nerds Part 2: Nerds in Paradise' was one of the worst. Why? We need nerds to come in and fix our problems. Stan and the rest of the Alpha Betas have abused their power and now they're corrupt. They're broken. Nerds come in and shake things up. They fix the problem. [Nerds Part 1] But nobody likes it when nerds are in charge and on top. [Nerds Part 2] People want to get back to when the Cool people are in charge.
Put another way, the cool a-holes from Animal House in 1978 got corrupt and became the evil (yet hilarious) Stan, Ogre and the rest of the Alpha Betas from Revenge of the Nerds in 1984. After the Nerds fixed things, we wanted the cool kids to have some fun again and there was a rejection of the nerds in 1994 with Jeremy Pivens' break-out hit PCU. That stretched for a while into 2003's Old School, but we all knew that at the end of the day, the title is right and that school of thought is old. This country needs a new Revenge of the Nerds. Ladies and Gentlemen, The P! Co.
