You forgot to mention that, while being chased across the country in a van made of pot, they we're also looking for pot to buy basically the whole time lol.
I remember a kid in my 4th or 5th grade class brought the Cheech and Chong album to school and we listened to it during music time. Looking back I bet my teacher had no idea what it was about. I also remember during the “it’s Dave let me in I’ve got the stuff” bit , that kid was laughing hysterically and the rest of us really didn’t know what was going on 😆
As a featured extra, my brother actually worked briefly with Cheech Marin on the set of Nash Bridges. He said he was the nicest and most sedate person ever, 100% opposite of the nerve-wracked dude in the Cheech and Chong comedies...
I remember, I was in 7th grade when a whole bunch of kids got into Cheech & Chong as well as smoking pot, I had never understood it because I never participated in that lifestyle. This was EYE OPENING!!!
Always gives me a laugh when I remember when they were in court and Chong needed water. He ended up with the judge's glass, took a swig, sprayed it out proclaiming "f##kin' vodka!'
I laughed so hard to that scene in the movie "Things Are Tough All Over" where they are stuck in the dessert and Cheech says, "we're gonna die of heat frustration"
I love the bit in Santa Claus and His Old Lady where Cheech says, "Everywhere he went, he ran into too much recession." Tommy says, "You mean too much repression, man." Cheech says, "Repression, recession, it's all the same thing, man."
I had the privilege to watch a Cheech and Chong show in late 1972? They had little more than a shower curtain to change behind but the sell out crowd was all in we had a blast! Love and respect them both.
My dad always loved Cheech and Chong, and I used to watch the movies with him. I later found the albums and found myself laughing at how silly they really are😂
Chong got screwed. I'm happy he made the most out of his prison sentence but that doesnt change fact that he was a victim of entrapment. The ATF planted people at his company who shipped bongs to Pennsylvania. He does an amazing bit for comedy centrals this cant be happening where he explains what happened
The first 3 movies these guys did are very under-rated. "Nice dreams" and "next movie" are just... just funny. They're funnier than most so-called comedys of the last 40 years and still work today. Despite the dubious subject matter, these guys are geniuses of comedy and they know what's funny and craft their movies that way; which Hollywood generally doesn't.
Strawberry strawberry I wasn't looking at his neck I wasn't looking at his and then you hear kaboom and the feathers flew out the window seeing those feathers fly floored me and if you remember a few years after that on the gong show was the unknown comic who would do a magic trick and pull a bird out of the bag however when he blew air in to the bag and popped it feathers flew out constantly reminding me of Cheech and Chong. 👍
Ok my favourite Cheech and Chong sketch is definitely Sister Mary Elephant! " Class? Class? Cla..... SHUT UPPPP!". Lol! Man it is bullshit that Chong got prison time for selling bongs!
I remember hearing them on cassette tapes and seeing their records on vinyl... I think I heard their comedy before I saw their movies... It was strange to actually see their faces in movies. It was like seeing aliens from outer space.
I almost died laughing after hearing one of their tapes where they were on a pirate ship. ''You smell like fish, you big brute!''. Then he started getting flogged and the tone of his voice changed because he liked it. Who cuts your hair? Sargent Stedenko.
Two men who could be completely different yet excelling at being the same. That is how comedy works. All the drug references aside. These two had a chemistry that worked.
Mrs Richards: " I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam. " Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
I'm sure it's been mentioned but Tommy Chong was a member of the Motown one-hit wonder band Bobby Taylor and the Vancouver and co-wrote the song DOES YOUR MOTHER KNOW ABOUT ME.
Thomas Chong reached the pinnacle of his music career as part of Bobby Taylor's group, *The Vancouvers* when they signed to Motown Record Corporation's "Gordy" label. If the American recording industry is likened to a skyscraper, then Motown is in the *Penthouse* while all the other labels are down in the *basement.* Chong co-wrote "Does Your Mama Know About Me" with then-future Rare Earth group leader, Tom Baird, that group even had a label named for them. As an aside, the Rare Earth label even issued the last big hit for Aussie group, The Easybeats. Issue R-5009, "St. Louis" c/w "Can't Find Love was sourced from, but not credited to the Australian arm of Polydor Records in 1969.
Hang on stop me if I am wrong, the title says False things you believed about C & C yet all I am getting is everything I know about them, like a career history!!!!
7:06 chong is such a badass to take the hit like that. but the deal he had to make makes it clear what they really wanted and how corrupt they were willing to be to get it.
I was 16 or 17 when that movie came out. I went with my 3 year older sister high to see it. We laughed so hard I’m trying to contain myself now🤣👍🏽 there albums was funny but up in spoke 🤣. Very interesting vid👍🏽
Sleeping Beauty was always a favorite. Everyone I knew were fans long before the movie came out, couldn't believe our luck when we heard about it. As for favorite joke, has to be Dave's not here.
I am 59 years old just for reference and I had the album before the movie came out they were very funny on record and when the movies came out they were very funny in their movies
NY recently gained it's cannabis freedom. - Buuuut, there's no place to legally obtain (other than growing your own) and won't be for several years. So, buying and selling within NY is still illegal. - Talk about stupid...
@@Olkv3D I can not tell you the last time I seen a seed if I could get ahold of seeds and actually knew what I was doing I could grow the hell out of it!
Haha. I know, right? Everyone used to whine about'em, now they're more valuable than gold. - I have a jar full of a few hundred big, fat Tiger-Stiped seeds that I used to save. They're almost 20 years old now; I wonder if any of them are still viable.
Me and my friend pitched in to buy Big Bambu. Quite salacious in 1970: Utah. As a 9 year old sister mary elephant was so funny. Love these guys. Still when I meet a guy named Dave I say “Dave’s not here.” If they laugh they are good to go.
Correction: Big Bambu was not their second effort. Los Cochinos is the second album. It is an iconic album because of its concept of the layout out of an old car door, and when the inner sleeve is pulled from the outer cover. The inner sleeve reveals a montage of pot leaves and stash in the window assembly. Los Cochinos translates to The nasty ones!
I know a drug dealer from my home town and he looks like Tommy Chong . They have the same beard , same sunglasses , the same jean jacket and same stoned look . The counterculture was cool then as it is now .
@@youneverknow1316 Now you made me look. Wow its gone down. Its been yrs since I last checked. They were getting almost $600. I figured it would have gone up. So I checked some of my other collectables. Its all thru the floor. I have a 1940s porcelain sign w/ orig iodine thermometer that still works. Was worth $400 now $80. eeesh.
What's your favorite Cheech and Chong joke?
Dave
@@andywinslow9638 Absolutely! First thing that came to mind, maybe because I quote from it all the time.
Pedro and Man at the Drive-in from Greatist Hits album
Wait... they're comedians?!
Ain't that a peach?
I'm not sure that stoner comedy would exist without Cheech and Chong
You forgot to mention that, while being chased across the country in a van made of pot, they we're also looking for pot to buy basically the whole time lol.
I've met Cheech and he's anything BUT the characters he portrays in the movies.. He's pretty humble, articulate and soft-spoken.
lucky you, i grew up on their movies!
Nikola Tesla was my Great Grandfather.

CHEECH & CHONG LIVING LEGENDS
Sister Mary Elephant.....that was my intro to them! LOL Absolutely the BEST comedic team around.
I don’t think Stacey Keach gets mentioned enough for his role in this movie . He was hilarious
Mr. Lizard.
Oh man, when he was hanging on the wall, mostly reptile at that point, I couldn't stop laughing. Just good, goofy humor.
@@ftswarbill Hamburger...HAMBURGER!!!!
Um in what movie u idiot . This isnt a vid about one video
Agreed
"they wouldn't let me back into my own club because they didn't recognize me"
hey man, it's Dave. let me in I got the stuff
"Dave's not here, man!"
I remember, I was in 7th grade when a whole bunch of kids got into Cheech & Chong as well as smoking pot, I had never understood it because I never participated in that lifestyle. This was EYE OPENING!!!
You just took more ACID than anyone I've seen in my LIFE. Jeez, I hope you're not busy for about a MONTH.
Always gives me a laugh when I remember when they were in court and Chong needed water. He ended up with the judge's glass, took a swig, sprayed it out proclaiming "f##kin' vodka!'
I laughed so hard to that scene in the movie "Things Are Tough All Over" where they are stuck in the dessert and Cheech says, "we're gonna die of heat frustration"
I say that line whenever I’m working hard in the summer heat
Funny what’s sticks with us
I love the bit in Santa Claus and His Old Lady where Cheech says, "Everywhere he went, he ran into too much recession." Tommy says, "You mean too much repression, man." Cheech says, "Repression, recession, it's all the same thing, man."
Saw up in smoke when it came out at a drive in with friends and we were all stoned lol
Only way to watch it, lol!
That would have been awsome seeing it for the first time before alot of others had.
Same here. Plus mescaline.
You weren’t the only one!

I am in Massachusetts and growing cannibis is legal here ! I am 61 and will always use it !
Just got legalized in Jersey but not freely available to buy yet. 🤔
Much respect to Cheech for taking his craft so seriously, I Love smoking, but work is important, save the good stuff for when you're off the clock.
"I wasn't looking at his neck"

His son sold them by mail to a cop in a State that outlawed bongs. It was a set-up, so Tommy took the fall to save his son.
@@visaman Thanks man, I never knew that. Tommy's a legend and a good father.
I grew up listening to their 8-tracks; nothing new here for me but it is wonderful to reminisce.

LOVED Sister Mary Elephant and Earache My Eye!
One of the best duos ever!
Hands down

Vancouver stood with Chong when he was in court and jail just like with Mark Emery. Our community is loyal to the OGs.
Weed was legalized 30 years too late.
Yeah, the Cheech and Chong films would have been really edgy if they only did legal drugs...
Did it stop anyone who wanted it.
@@guynorth3277 All the cool kids are smoking flaka and meth.
Better late than never.
It was just legalized here in NY this year.
These dudes are gods to us old potheads. I always thought Afro-man wrote them a nice little theme song. ☮️☮️☮️
I literally said “Dave’s not here” in a staff meeting today 😂

"I hear you knocking but you can't come in" 🎶
Sounds like Cheech didn't want to be stereotyped and definitely wanted to improve himself while Chong was comfortable right where he was at.

Up In Smoke will always be my favorite movie of all their movies together
I was 16 or 17 when that movie came out. I went with my 3 year older sister high to see it. We laughed so hard I’m trying to contain myself now🤣👍🏽 there albums was funny but up in spoke 🤣. Very interesting vid👍🏽
I like the way you used the corn for texture……or something like that😂😂😂😂😂
I told you that pink pencil was going to get you in trouble
Funny to think they would have never met if Cheech had not ran to Canada draft dodging.
My license....oh ya, it's on the bumper man...
"I wasn’t lookin at his neck, man."
"It's like a quarter pounder man"
You're the guys from the hamburger train, right?
It's Labrador maan!
😂
Fking love Chong's earlier hamboning old man... as well, his undercover cop act was top notch hilarity.
Love Up In Smoke, and currently while I am posting this September 2021. The movie is free to watch right here in TH-cam movies.
LEGENDS!!!
It's Labrador maan!
I still have the rolling paper from Big Bamboo! It is a bit yellow!
I thought this video will never end
It's mostly Maui Wowie but it's got some labrador in it

And excellent Pair! I am glad they came back together
My dad was a teacher in the 70s and seriously frowned on these two. Took me twenty five years to realize they’re so fricking funny!
I still have the 78 of Big Bambu with the giant rolling paper inside.
you do know that's michael winslow not Jimi Hendrix in the 1st clip? :)

Tommy Chong is proof that pot is not dangerous. He's 83. I dare any you to find any drunk that looks that good at 83.
Tommy Chong is a comedic genius!
I know a drug dealer from my home town and he looks like Tommy Chong . They have the same beard , same sunglasses , the same jean jacket and same stoned look . The counterculture was cool then as it is now .
Saw them a few years back at the local casino. They are still just as funny.
Cheech was great in Tin Cup.
Very underrated role
The best was when they stole the neighbours car and stole gas in the trash can. Then decided to light up in the car.
That scene reminded me of the pipeline issues we had over the summer. 😆
Then they push the burnt out car back into the garage , put the car cover back on it and pretend like nothing happened
Basketball Jones 🏀. A song but also a joke!
Is the voice over from Neil deGrasse Tyson ?😜
They both have really good bio books...explains a lot 👍🏻
