Young Frankenstein
Another flick with Gene Wilder, we have the hysterical Mel Brooks movie, Young Frankenstein. However, we aren’t here to talk about Wilder this time, but rather actor Marty Feldman. Feldman played Igor in the film, and Brooks was more than happy to let him and the rest of the cast improvise. Thus, Feldman invented the famous, “What hump?” However, the best part had to be that Feldman even adjusted the hump while asking. Brooks loved this addition and kept it in the movie!

Animal House
From National Lampoon to Animal House, it’s really not a surprise that this talented cast got to use their background from improv theater to invent lines. When the legendary actor John Belushi had that scene in the cafeteria, he went off script for the entire thing. It was all Belushi as he shoveled food into his mouth and pressed on his cheeks, squeezing out the food. Then of course, he added, “I’m a zit- get it?”
