This is a clip from Cheech & Chong's Next Movie. Chong is in the waiting room, while Cheech is getting some action in the back. The famous Michael Winslow is the one making all the special sound effects.
This should be considered one of the more hilarious and chaotic scenes ever filmed. I was stoned the first time I watched this and I could only imagine sitting in Chong's seat during this scene. Winslow nailed it!
I guess some people have never been to these places and don't understand that this is exactly what you'll find there. Especially back in those days. If they spent two minutes there, they would be on the floor dying from laughter.
Michael Winslow was a true clown in this seen. When he was acting like the coke can was a baby crying and then threw it on the floor and said "aaah shut up"! Was hilariously side splitting and the old man laughing with that huge nose made it just that much more hilarious. Lmfao!!!!!
I have watched this scene millions of times and it's still hilarious. Especially the old man. He makes another appearance in "Things Are Tough All Over" as the old man on the porch trying to get his tv working and then seeing a broken car being pushed down the road by a bunch of Mexicans. He says "What the hell is THAT?" and lets out that same laugh as he does here. Short scene but funny. :)
This scene is a plethora of comic happenstance with action happening all at the same time!!! Raunchiness behind the glass petition, drunkard ironically laughing at the junkie who is precariously nodding with a lit cigarette, and Michael Winslow as the pycho-wack job creating his own adventures while poor Chong takes it all in!!! Gut-wrenching hilarious!!!!!
I love this! There is like 5 things going on at once. You have in the window Cheech and that woman. You have the guy smoking a cigarette and nodding off. You notice every time he starts nodding off he lowers his cigarette towards his knee and when it almost touches it the old guy start laughing. You have Michael W. making weird sound effects with objects and every one seems to look at him every once in a while. And in the back ground you have two people working on what ever.
quite possibly the funniest scene in any movie ever! It is not humanly possible to keep from laughing when u put a loony old cackling dude, Tommy Chong, and Michael Winslow together in one scene. The cat vs dog fight is priceless!
I am a huge fan of Cheech and Chong ever since I was a little toddler. This is one of my favorite scenes in this movie! Cheech and Chong are Kings of Comedians!
Excellent!! Reminds me of my own personal experience @ the Welfare Office here locally a FEW WEEKS AGO. Was just as good as this Legendary Film (only I took my time w/ the beautiful woman in the storage closet by the break room).
I saw this scene for the first time yesterday on HBO man I couldn't stop laughing. I was basically that old man just cracking up over and over again in my living room at this sht.
I love this guy ! I knew him when I worked in a carwash in his neighborhood in Denver , Colorado . He used to stop in time to time and get me smoked up ! Once he had us rollinng on the car wash floor LOAO !
Absolute Classic...1 of the best clips of any comedy, ever! Nothing funnier than real-life nut jobs at DHS. Reminds of the time I was stuck in traffic and watched a domestic dispute between an old timer seated on a bus stop bench, and his empty Wendy's Coffee Cup. This scene was so cleverly executed, it's easy to miss the fact that Cheech is doing his caseworker!!! HaHaHa!
I was a little lad when I first watched this, didn't quite understand it - 54 now and I have a whole new understanding of this comedy (that we will never see again on television!).
Michael Winslow was a legend with the sounds never forget the first time I saw him in Police Academy. 10 was the perfect age to witness such skill. Looking back on it I can't believe how influential it was. Considering i am a music producer.
The old man is hilarious. He is watching the person fall asleep in front of him and every time he really nods off, he starts laughing which yanks him back awake. Funny $hit and I missed it every time I have watched this o er the decades. 😂
LMFAO havent seen that in years!! The sound effects dude (Michael Winslow) got his start in this,several years before the Police Academy movies.Also did stand up comedy in LA if I'm not mistaken.He did an absolute killer Jimi Hendrix impersonation,towards the end of this movie.Complete with Jimi's generous use of the wah-wah pedal & mega-feedback.That scene was when Cheech took some bad acid or something,he was hallucinating & Jimi appeared,along with Timothy Leary lol.
I never even noticed the guy passing out with the cigarette until my friend pointed it out to me the other day, LOL! Every time the old guy laughs he wakes up! XD
+Fgsfds1995 He is not falling asleep. He is nodding out from heroin. And he is not waking up when the old man laughs, the old man is laughing because he is nodding out and he wakes up when he burns himself with the cigarette. over and over and over. great scene.
Got a little experience for ya. I remember watching this for the first time absolutely blasted with a bunch of buddies and I had the biggest laugh attack with that guy laughing. OMG I will never forget it had me on the floor laughing and this scene felt forever. Wish I could go back and re live that moment
This is why visual and slapstick comedy is so hard to write.......There's nothing to write. Just sit back and laugh! This brings back some good memories. Is that Benicio del Toro falling asleep with the cigarette? When I grow up, I'm gonna be like that old guy. Oh....wait .......I AM that old guy!!!!
GEEZUS(ops-a mispelling!)LOLMFAO so hard I'm gagging dude.Michael Winslow just GOES OFF in this scene.Thanks for this post I'd forgotten how funny this scene is. Either that or I was just too stoned the first time I watched it!
I don't know what the funniest part of this scene is, the old guy who keeps laughing, the guy sitting across form him who keeps passing out, or the guy doing the cat/dog fight at the end.
My favorite part is when the two ladies start goin at it and Winslow makes the cat and dog fight sounds and does the fighting thing with his hands!! Haha! Too funny!
Ha!! This is classic. I don't what is more funny. The guy falling asleep is wearing what looks to be a bathrobe! The old guy laughing has no teeth! Or Michael Winslow soothing a crying Coke can lol!!!!
Hahaha! That submarine sound Michael Winslow was making at 1:15 was amazing! Then he crashes his cigarette and says, "It's alright to SMOKE in here!" ;D WTF?
The first time I ever saw this I was high as a kite. I almost died. I didn't even notice that there was any other thing happening besides the laughing old guy till I saw it sober.
Oh man, I laugh so hard at this part I love when he goes 'don't you know you can smoke in here!' and like, spazzes and the cig jumps outta the carton! LOL
