Man I used to love them...watched every movie...had every record. I'm watching Cheech & Chong's next movie on HBO now...not as funny as I remember... I wonder why 
|
The dude wants to know your name, man. (Vomiting) Uh, his name is Raaalph, man. |
I just watched "Still Smoking" last night. I can remember watching "Up In Smoke" in the theater, twice. The smoke was so thick in the theater, you didn't need to smoke any to get a buzz. I bet the concession stand broke sales records when that was playing. Munchies!!!!!    The good old days.

Saw them live in a small club in DC way back when...for a moment, I actually thought I was gonna stroke out from laughing so hard. The club was small enought that Tommy Chong noticed me, so they both came over to the table and started telling Pollock jokes directly to me. It was without a doubt the funniest shit I've ever seen.

"Jesus at the Border" "Take off your sandals senor!" "Awwww, that's a nasty scar you have senor!" "What is your name?" "I have been called the Prince of Peace." "Well, Senor Peace, we don't want your kind here..." "Hey Roberts, a pair of lederhosen is a pretty funny gift for grown man to give an 11 year old boy." Those guys were a riot when everyone thought pot was harmless. Of course, most of the pot in those days was nearly harmless... |

"I think we're getting pulled over man!?" ... back in '71 my best buddies older bro had Cheech and chongs Wedding Album and he would play it for us. good stuff man. "Ear ache! Ear ache my eye! Get your ass up out of bed and get to school young man!" "geeze dude, I hope your dicks bigger then this man" |

I remember one of their albums came in a giant rolling paper package with a rolling paper that was a foot and a half long. A few of them were actually used. I'm afraid their comedy is very dated today. Drug humor isn't quite as accepted as it was "in the day". Tommy Chong just did a little time recently. Seems the government decided, after years of looking the other way, to conduct a one time, Federal bust of "paraphernalia" manufacturers a few years ago in it's War On Drugs. Tommy had an interest in one such company. I am personally aquainted with another person that manufactured lexan smoking pipes, amoung many other legitimate plastic products, that was caught up in the same "dragnet". He got off with a fine, like most. I think Tommy was one, if not the only one, to do any time for the "crime"... at 65 years old.  www.post-gazette.com/localnews/20030912chong0912p5.asp ETA: "We're from The Government and we're here to help." |

I wonder how many know anything about them. Biography The son of a Los Angeles police officer, American actor/director Richard "Cheech" Marin earned his nickname through his fondness for the Chicano food specialty cheecharone. An excellent student (if something of a class cutup), Marin entered California State University, only to drop out and hightail it to Canada to avoid the draft. While working as an improvisational comedian with Vancouver's City Work troupe, Marin teamed with Tommy Chong; the Hispanic/Asian duo created the characters of Cheech and Chong, a pair of zoned-out dopers ever in search of the "perfect joint." http://www.answers.com/topic/cheech-marin Saw him being interviewed 2-3 years ago. He thinks anyone who got drafted (or even enlisted) was "stupid". No, I did not misunderstand/misinterpret what he said. Actually, I was surprised at his poor PR savvy. I took it that he meant it. |
Well they are Hippies! What did you expect? Vietnam vet. Cheech? Granted they are stupid, but stupid is funny. |

best thing cheech ever did was the pussy pussy pussy monologue in from dusk to dawn.. hilarious. Cheech Marin as Chet Pussy ... "Alright! Pussy, pussy, pussy...come on in pussy lovers! Here at the Titty Twister we're slashin' pussy in half! Give us an offer on our best selection of pussy, this is a pussy blowout! Alright we got white pussy, black pussy, Spanish pussy, yellow pussy. We got hot pussy, cold pussy, we got wet pussy, we got smelly pussy, we got hairy pussy, bloody pussy, we got snappin' pussy! We got silk pussy, velvet pussy, naugahide pussy. We even got horse pussy, dog pussy, chicken pussy! Come on you want pussy? Come on in pussy lovers, if we don't got it, you don't want it! Come on in pussy lovers!!!" |
It's my understanding that Cheech is nothing like his character in real life. He was a pretty straight arrow kind of guy. |

Cheech and Chong made me laff like hell when I was younger, some of their stuff is still classic. Pedro and the Man at the drive inn is my fav. Cheech was backpedaling furiously on all of his previous drug use while he was on Nash Bridges, he was saying they never really got high that much if at all, etc etc. He was trying to go mainstream big time, and didn't need all that baggage I guess. Now that NB is off the air, I guess he can go back to the drug stuff. |
if you can find a cheaper pussy FUCK IT!. |
