1. As a stoner since

waaaaaay back....I find it funny although it is totally politically incorrect in so many ways.

[Taverner]

Plays guitar on that. Dana ; )

[Brother Buzz]

I did not know that.

[styersc]

[Mojambo]

4. One of the funniest things ever... when I was 13. n/t

[Ishoutandscream2]

28. Laughed my ass off in the 70s

Now I look at some of their old movies and wonder why I thought they were so hysterical. They still make me laugh, but I'm not falling on the floor. Maybe if I was still smoking like I used to...

[zen_bohemian]

5. funny stuff!!

Hamburger guy was a scream in Nice Dreams (Peewee Herman)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. I saw them perform, back in the day...

...Circle Star Theater, San Carlos. There was no getting away from their stuff...it was like Mad Magazine. It was there, they were there, some of it was funny, some of it was stupid, and...like Mad...they made truckloads of money.

I like their movies "Cheech & Chong's Next Movie" (especially Paul "Pee We Herman" Rubens' role) and "Things Are Tough All Over." Their other movies, not so much.

[Lisa0825]

7. Thanks to them, I have never been able to drink

Pouilly-Fuissé without giggling.

[DoBotherMe]

8. mmmmmmmmmmmm

Huh? What?

[denbot]

10. I think that I should have never used the rolling paper included in Big Bambu.

I wonder how much that album would fetch on e-bay with rolling paper intact?

[Enthusiast]

29. I still have mine.

[denbot]

32. Dude, no fucking way...

Hmmmm.. If they ever bring back the $10 lid I may look ya up. :hippie:

[Enthusiast]

36. I had forgotten the term 'lid', LOL. nt

[mix]

11. Dave's not here man. nt

[MrSlayer]

12. Brilliant right up to the Corsican Brothers.

Which sucked.

[Taverner]

13. Even Corsican Brothers had some laughs

"You should never pull out your sword unless you plan to use it!?"

"Fukker? He's trisexual - yeah he'll try anything"

[edbermac]

15. I bought their Wedding Album record years ago

Championship Wrestling, Earache My Eye and Black Lassie were pretty funny bits.

[Doc_Technical]

16. United Heads for Hemp

Known by its members as "uhh"

[nolabear]

17. Ah, Sister Mary Elephant...

[SalmonChantedEvening]

47. Young man, give me that knife.

[elocs]

18. Don't know about Chong, but my nickname from the time I was 12 in '65 was "Cheech".

Actually it was Chi Chi but that quickly got shortened to Cheech. In the neighborhood I grew up in you have to do something when there are half a dozen guys named Steve.

[LWolf]

19. Icons from my misspent teenage years.

It doesn't even matter if they were funny or not; the memories of sitting around with friends listening and laughing still has meaning for me.

[SPKrazy]

20. I Forgot...

uhm...oh Cheech and that other dood, Chong, rhymes with bong and what were you sayin man?

[Throd]

21. I'm the only one I know who still has the rolling paper from "Big Bambu"

[Taverner]

22. Do you know how much you could get for that on eBay?

Me neither - but I heard it sells for quite a bit

[logosoco]

24. I still have that!

I always had big plans for it, but never used it. It's now in the "pile of stuff" we are saving to pass down to our kids (we have the Sgt. Pepper picture disc, too).

[Enthusiast]

30. I still have mine.

[Roon]

23. I always thought their audio tapes were funnier than their movies nt

[Common Sense Party]

34. That I would agree with.

They're still only TRULY hilarious if you are stoned to the bejeezus belt, but the records were much better than the movies.

[Kat45]

25. "It's only an ambulance." n/t

[proteus_lives]

26. The first movie was funny.

The rest? Meh.

[Common Sense Party]

27. Only funny when you're fifteen and baked to the gills.

[lunatica]

31. Few have made me laugh as hard as they have at times.

I love them for it.

[BrklynLiberal]

33. Same here....

"Up in Smoke" had me laughing so hard I could hardly breathe...

[orleans]

35. a boyfriend's father "borrowed" one of the albums i had of theirs

i never got it back.

that was soooo cool & funny

[lunatica]

[BuddhaGirl]
