The guys have scissors also because they're coming to cut off his johnson/wiggly penis, those are the nihilists

Right away you had me hooked at "everything happens TO THE DUDE." It is essential, and independent of the Stoner theme. It is essential to the "detective theme" as well, and so empirically, it is supported. I disagree however that the only initiative is in the beginning. He takes initiative with Jackie Treehorn, but it is almost a joke because it is just a dick pic. The film, as described by the directors themselves, is an inverse of a detective story; the dude doesn't investigate, the dude is investigated.

I'd never picked up on the dream stuff before - and I've seen this movie countless times. Great work, looking forward to more.

I'm 30 years old and I have never smoked anything in my life yet this is one of my favourite movies.

Great video man, you are so right, I was stoned with friends in my birthday and one of them put The Big Lebowski and it was the best movie ever

Definitely one of my favorite movies. Always a comfort of mine any time I hear the Man In Me it always brings back the memories of late nights watching this movie with the hazy influence of some cheap weed and a little bong. Good times good times.

I never noticed that Maude is the one who throws the bowling ball pov in the dream sequence

I was high while watching this and that made me think this is one of my favorite movies ever thinking back on it but I didn’t realize how good it was the first 1-3 watches

I think my go to stoner accent is literally Jeff Bridges in this movie. When I want to emulate a stoner, I just do Bridges in this movie with more of a doofy caricature.

Never noticed the details. Good job. Love your video

That was an amazing analysis, I love this movie and never really thought about it like this before, thank you for the fresh perspective on it, btw pot smoker for about 6 years here, and honestly this analysis feels super accurate

I searched for "the big labowski stoned" and just found exactly the video I wanted. Thank you.❤

I try to live like The Dude. But I absolutely hate weed. It makes me trip out and extremely dysfunctional & my anxiety issues skyrocket. I pretty much hold hedonism up high. I have a rule that I don’t affect others negatively is all. I’ve let go of chasing “love” & straining myself with effort in stuff that I consider a waste of time. I just wanna chill man. It sucks cause like The Dude, you expect others to be chill cause ya know, “treat others how you wanna be treated”. But life is super unfair and that is definitely not a universal law lol. Law enforcement usually are jerks. It’s bad enough average People aren’t open minded usually. They look down on “day drinking” or using something that is “illegal”. Like come on man. Life is too short. Why care about some dumb societal judgement? They often do without thinking. Sheeple man. A piece of paper says this is illegal? So? Why don’t you do your own research on said subject/substance & decide for yourself instead of random BS people say or the GOV propaganda says. If you’re “following orders” just because you’re supposed to then you should probably rethink life cause like, when I hear “I’m just following orders” I think of the Nuremberg trials & nazis... man I love the big Lebowski so much. I don’t think it’s so much a “stoner” thing. It’s more of a “slacker” thing.

Just watched your most recent video and had to restart the play list. This one always sticks with me. The simplicity yet powerful impact of the video can not be understated.

Great analysis! I enjoyed this video very much

Love your essays, dude.

Mind blown! Great insight.

Awesome video! And from a quick glance at your channel it looks like you also cover games. Subscribed!

Ayyy lmao tryna quit myself its hard when you have no motivation to even buy a rug.

awesome stuff

fantastic video

That rug really tied the room together...

love it!

great vid!

Welp, I have to admit, never smoked pot, or anything for that matter, I mostly just live my life trying to relax and keep my head down, getting my work done and coming home to learn what I can about anything I can. Having lived like this for years now I have noticed that a lot about the people around me, and as weird as it sounds I see a lot of people as dogs that look the the ground instead of what is in front of them, doesn't matter how fast you run if you look down and not in front of you. I have been going off and looking towards what makes me a happy man, that is what matters to me, but looking around me I can't tell if others look for that. I can relate to the dude in this way.

The problem with most stoner comedies is that you have to be high to actually enjoy them

Good analysis.

very well done

Imherent vice also I feels like it captures being a stoner as well you should see it

I just hit the 420th like. Ya'll are welcome my dudes and dudettes

Seriously, thank you

Nice man

Such a wonder of a movie. Can be viewed through so many lenses! The dude is the answer and a true rolemodel for men.

personally, The only stoner comedy's i like besides The Big Lebowski are a few of the Cheech and Chong Movie's. Manly Nice Dreams, Next Movie and Up in Smoke.

thats cool ive never realized that its a bunch of overreactions that cause his dilemma. what he did to start the fire wasnt even an overreaction comparatively

I have watched this move on a regular basis for almost 15 years now. There´s no youtuber out there telling me something about it, i didn´t stumble upon myself. I´m curious about what you might have to say about it after some more years though, it never did stop growing on me.

Stay Calm, Stay Cool, Chill Out, Smoke a Doobie while listening to The Doobie Brothers & enjoy life. The Dude is 😎

I fucking love Quasimoto

What’s the song at the start

I think general idea of this movie is to be smart over dumbest premise. Just Cohens being narcissistically curious about how far they can go before they make really bad movie (cause they so talented, you know). Love their stuff, but it didn't clicked with me tbh. Maybe i should watch it again when stoned

Lol

Man. Fuck. I’m feeling like that right now. Got an apartment I gotta get out of soon, college that needs to be resumed in another country, and all I wanna do is make music and art. Just bought some shrooms today and wandered if I’m tired of drugs by now.. not sure if I am.. I gotta get some shit done soon though. Applications and classes and shit. All I really want though is some money and a property

#ChurchOfTheSubgenius seems to steal too much from this movie.

I think the main problem with "stoner comedies" is that they're all designed to be funny to stoners, but stoners will literally laugh at fucking anything. So to someone who isn't high your movie's not gonna be very funny or worth watching

When I was 22 a mugged someone for their backpack. Inside was the big lebowski and donnie darko. it was the best raid I have ever done...Both movies are amazing. Definitely worth the steal.

huh, no wonder I despised this utter crap.
