In the movie, Harvey's friend Toby goes to see Revenge of the Nerds and is excited about it, since he's a proud nerd himself. (To the point where I thought the film surely exaggerated for effect, but then when you meet the real Toby, it's like OMG.)

Can we talk about this deep analysis of the original?

http://www.collativelearning.com/Revenge of the Nerds - film analysis.html

Like with the initiation scenes, the house trashing was filmed as a longer sequence, but trimmed down for the final cut because it was too nasty. However, the finalized edit still includes a shot of the nerds’ house cleaning robot smashed and broken. The robot had human interaction abilities that went far, far beyond the capabilities of computers in the 1980’s. So is this destruction of a robot imbued with human qualities a metaphor of a lynch mob murdering a human nerd? It probably is.

Physical violence was also cleverly suggested when the jocks threw buckets of water on the nerds. It’s left for us to assume how cold the water is. And the cold water metaphor is used again near the end of the movie (the jocks throwing Gilbert into a fountain pool). These inferences of more serious violence are very well thought out – a watered down depiction of physical torture so as not to cause too much offence for an audience seeking a few simple laughs. And even when I saw the movie when I was eleven years old, I couldn’t help notice that the jocks had smeared the word NERDS above the staircase in some sort of brown substance and I wondered whether they’d used excrement, an even greater form of insult. In the same scene we also see that the Jocks have torn in half a picture of some historical figure who the nerds admire, though I’m not sure who the picture is of. Presumably it’s a famous intellectual.

Maybe this will work
