Carl Jung: Frat-tastic.

There is a 1-in-5 shot that I know this guy's name.

For those of you unfamiliar with Carl Jung's theory of the collective unconscious, Wikipedia defines it as:
The collective unconscious refers to that part of a person's unconscious which is common to all human beings. It contains archetypes, which are forms or symbols that are manifested by all people in all cultures. They are said to exist prior to experience, and are in this sense instinctual. Critics have argued that this is an ethnocentrist view, which universalized Jung's European-styled archetypes into human beings' archetypes.
In simpler terms, it's basically the idea that all humans have certain shared impulse or understandings that are not derived from personal experience. For example, the idea of the "wise old man"or a "nurturing mother" are the most obvious examples. It is not conscious or accessible at will, but is inherited and a level of psyche universal in humanity. Now how does this relate to frat-tastic?

I was watching "My Name is Earl" today (my birthday gift), and the brother goes to a frat party and does a keg stand and gets excited by all the frattiness, and makes a reference to a single fraternity brother.

What was the name the writers chose? You guessed it.

Steve

Incidentally, type Frat Boy or Fratboy into google images. The incidence of gay porn is hilarious.
