Can we include TV shows? If so, I have to add Zach Ward as the stoner brother from Titus. Hi-freaking-larious. How did he not become a star after this show? Are Uwe Boll movies really the best he is being offered?

Also, I second JohnFN on Floyd and The Dude.

Woops, hit submit too soon.

Never got the whole Kevin Smith thang. Tried watching “Clerks” once, and got about 10 minutes into it before ripping the VHS out of the player (that’s how long ago it was).

“tommy boy” continues to be one of my guilty favorites – I have the “Holy Snikes” version on DVD. “Stop playing with your dinghy!”

Agree with all the above.Pitt was perfect. When I first say it, I thought “Is that who I think it is?”
“Dazed and Confused” had some great moments, including Ben Affleck playing himself.

“Floyd is king”… Indeed.

And for the kids… today’s (or since the late ’50s/early ’60s) “stoner” follows in a long line of characters known as “the drunk” — so I ascertain no difference.

Floyd is the the king (junior year of college, I roomed with who could have been his double so, yes, I’m in the “knew him” category) and The Dude is his Yoda, followed by …

Spicoli AND his crew (Stoltz and Edwards cannot be ignored) — Jeff also understood what the Founding Fathers were all about … for the most part.

Wooderson (Dazed and Confused) — sure, Matty-boy’s playing himself, but muscle car aficionado, pedophiliac burnouts don’t get any better. Triple threat, man!

Slater-san (Dazed and Confused) — The monologue on Martha and George Washington simply hip, hip, hip.

Honorable Mention to Dave Chappelle — never saw Half-Baked, but judging from the weed material on his show, the man obviously knows the sweet leaf.

Chris Farley in full Tommy Boy mode.

Old school props to Foster Brooks and Dean Martin

Bob Denver in Dobie Gillis

As much as I hate Sean Penn Spicoli is the best thing about Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I don’t know his name but the stoner suicidal friend of Tom Hanks in Bachelor Party.

My favorite of the week was about Al Frankenstein trying to debate a real person.
