Accept it losers! Cheech and Chong were not funny!

[LostInAnomie]

At least not when you're sober. Sure, if you're smoked they might be funny, but then again a lot of things are funny when you're high.

1. I disagree.

I was laughing at their movies long before I started toking.

The Corsican brothers movie sucked though.

15. How well do you know the freak with the top hat and the basketball?

What basketball?

[Frank Cannon]

24. How would you like a butt ache?

I was as squeaky-clean a kid as you could find back in the '70s, and I thought Cheech & Chong were hilarious.

[Kajsa]

2. disagree.

Clean and Sober,
they're still funny!

[smitty]

3. No, they weren't .

Try sitting through the Corsican Brothers without thoughts of suicide. Their other movies produced laughs if you were stoned but if you watch them sober they're an ordeal. Still, they're better than Pauly Shore.

4. If you were there you would have "gotten it", sorry disagree.

13. Yep. The original poster wasn't even born at the time.

We are changing from a code 1 direct pursuit to a code 3 -- completely lost due to incompetence.

6. heartily disagree

I listened to their albums long before I ever imbibed in any way and they were very good.

Now, none of their movies even came close to what they did on the albums, but the records were very funny without any alteration of state.

[Missy Vixen]

7. Are you kidding?

I've never used illicit substances, and I laugh my ass off over Cheech and Chong.

"Basketball Jones" will make me laugh till the day I die.

10. Stacy Keach's performance as Sgt. Stadanko was brilliant

Right up there with Art Metrano's Cpt. Mauser

Up in Smoke is a classic. And I loved Cheech and Chong's Greatest Hit before I'd ever even SEEN a real joint.

[mdmc]

12. theys

funny

[KitchenWitch]

16. I must also disagree

They are hilarious clean and sober, but then I had similar experiences.

[RandomKoolzip]

17. Well, I thought they were.

My parents took me to see their movies asa a kid and I laughed my ass off. Sure, it's broad humor, often gratuitously scatological, but much of it still translates: for instance, the use of mise-en-scene in "Things are Tough All Over" and "Nice Dreams" is pretty accomplished stuff - just watch the scene where Cheech is trying to cook pancakes in "Nice Dreams." They had a great sense of timing, too - the first twenty minutes of "Up in Smoke" is perfectly paced, with each set-up, punch line and visual gag falling neatly into place with clockwork precision (Cheech: "Hey man....am I driving okay?" 6 second pause. Chong: "I think we're parked, man...." Camera cuts to exterior of car, parked on side of highway.)

I've watched their movies as a sugar-buzzed 8 year-old, a stoned teenager, and a lucid, sober adult, and laughed every time. YMMV.

18. My brothers liked them

I tried to avoid anything my brothers liked. Richard Marin was funny in Cars, though.

[ghostsofgiants]

19. I've never been high in my life and I think they were hilarious.

[MnFats]

21. What? Dave's not here.

He's NOT HERE, man!

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. This is Ashley Roachclip of the Jefferson Hairpie

and I just wanna say that a lotta you cats who don't think Cheech and Chong were funny, well, you're all fucked.

CUT!

Well, that's what it is, man...

[walldude]

23. Some of the later movies were lame but

the albums were hilarious. The Santa Claus and his magic dust bit is a classic.
