Friday Fiver: Top 5 Movie Stoner Dudes
Movie Feature
We couldn't possibly endorse drugs here at Shiznit Towers, but you have to admit, the lifestyle of these five fabulous movie stoners is certainly an admirable one. To celebrate the release of Pineapple Express this Friday, we raise a doobie to these titans of toke. While you stress out over spreadsheets, these guys are getting nicely baked. While you fuss over tax returns, these guys are getting nicely baked. And while you waste away in meetings? These guys don't even know what day of the week it is. Smoke on, you lounge-loving losers. Smoke on.
5. CHEECH AND CHONG |
UP IN SMOKE (1978) |
Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong are the original movie stoners - a more feckless pair of midnight tokers you will not find. Their drug intake is legendary, the size of their spliffs defy the laws of physics and they even dress the part, clad in stoner gear (bandannas, tie-dye t-shirts etc) from top to bottom. Harold and Who-mar? |

4. FLOYD |
TRUE ROMANCE (1993) |
We've all had a roommate like Floyd: bong fused to his hand, ass fused to the sofa, speech degenerated into incoherent mumbling and giggling. Yet in many ways, Floyd is the hero of Quentin Tarantino's drug-fuelled thriller; he dices with the Mob and survives. Fuckin'... condescend him, man... He'll fuckin'... kill you, man. |

3. JAY AND SILENT BOB |
JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK (2001) |
All you need in life is a smoke, a store to stand in front of and a song. "Smokin' weed, smokin' whizz, / Doin' coke, drinkin' beers, / Drinkin' beers, beers, beers, / Rollin' fatties, smokin' blunts, / Who smokes the blunts? / We smoke the blunts." Ladies and gentlemen, Jay and Silent Bob give you The Stoners' Manifesto. Hell, we'd vote for them. |

2. JEFF SPICOLI |
FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982) |
Imagine Matthew McConaughey without the abs, and you've just pictured Ridgemont High stoner of the year, Jeff Spicoli, a man for whom the term 'beach bum' should be retired. Shrouded in a fog of drug-induced idiocy at all times, it's a wonder he dares tackle the waves, but hey - anything for a bigger high, dude. |
|
1. JEFFREY 'THE DUDE' LEBOWSKI |
THE BIG LEBOWSKI (1998) |
His name is Jeffrey Lebowski, but you can call him 'The Dude' (or 'Duder', or 'El Duderino' if you're not into the whole brevity thing). The Dude is a man of simple pleasures: smoking weed, drinking White Russians and bowling. Admit it: if you could, you'd slip right into your dressing gown, burn one out and slip on some Creedence. Heaven. |
