When one of my family was dangerously ill, it was very stressful. We found that watching a Cheech and Chong movie each night gave us laughs in the middle of worry, and relieved our stress for a little while. I will always be grateful to them for that. Thanks for choosing them for your reaction.
14:55 A "Lid" was an indefinite amount of grass that was measured by: as much grass as the dealer can pile onto a coffee can lid before it starts to spill off. Usually 2/3 to 3/4 of an oz. A double-dime is twenty dollars. So when My Boy Curtis says, "I'll let you have the whole lid for a double-dime" he is saying, "I'll let you have about 3/4 of an ounce for only $20."
After 9 years in the military and 10+ years as a black out drunk after, cannabis saved my life. Sober for 3+ years and my life is way better. It is the only thing that helps my PTSD. I do love me some cannabis.
Not fond of feeling high but cannabis saved my life during chemo. They tried giving me synthetic cannabis pills, but when you puke up even water, that didn’t make a lot of sense. Nothing like the munchies to keep your weight above starvation. I’ll forever be grateful for Washington state legislatures making it legal.
@@fxbear I too live in WA. VA will not pay for it so I have to donate my plasma for money just to make ends meet. But at least I have easy access to it, I just had to learn everything on my own.
I have to admit that was a lot of fun. As someone who's had plenty of experience in my younger days I had forgotten how much silliness it can bring and how wonderful that is.
Next Movie is fantastic. But the TV edit is strange as hell. It replaced the references to the bag of weed as it being a bag of diamonds. Makes the ending even more bizarre.
Cheech and Chong (individually, as opposed to Cheech & Chong the comedy duo) are both musicians as well as comedians and actors, and they met in Canada early in their respective careers. Cheech Marin moved from LA to Canada to escape the Vietnam draft and met Canadian Tommy Chong in 1968. Chong had previously had some small success in the music business with a number of bands, with perhaps his biggest success at that point, a Billboard #29 song with The Vancouvers called "Does Your Mama Know About Me". Marin, after college, had auditioned unsuccessfully for Frank Zappa's band The Mothers of Invention, and when he didn't get the gig, he went to Canada at that point and met Chong soon after. While touring with the band, Chong had been inspired by The Second City improv troupe, and he eventually decided to start his own improv group associated with the hippy counterculture, as well as continuing his musical ventures. Then, after having met Cheech, they found a connection with their music and their sense of humor. One evening, as a duo, they were warming up an audience for Chong's new band, but because of the audience reaction, they never left the stage, and that was the beginning of new comedy duo Cheech & Chong in the early 70's. Although they may not have started the "stoner" movement, which had some origins from the beatniks of the 50's and then the counterculture movement of the 60's, they are probably considered the godfathers of the movement, or perhaps at least its dirty uncles.
Yes, it was Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers, and they were signed by Motown, thank you for clarifying that. I don't know about any other releases but "Does Your Mama Know About Me" was originally released on Gordy Records, which was a subsidiary of Motown, and Gordy personally produced the song.
The best one in my opinion is "Cheech & Chong's Next Movie", especially one scene in particular that gets me laughing till I cry every time I see it; the scene in question takes place in a welfare office is all I'm going to say.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You gotta laugh at everything. These 2 are timeless gems. They definitely influenced many, and plus left us with so many quotables still usedto this day. Great reaction.
@@awkwardashleigh cheech Martin was in cars a Pixar movie about a multivers where cars talked and the glass was their eyes and its good animated movies the cars movies with cars 2 and 3 and 1 cheech voice Ramone and lighting mc queen voice by own Wilson and Michael Keaton as the villan and Richard perry King of Nascar as the king character Bonnie hunt as Sally and Dan Whitney aka Larry the cable guy who created the southern phase get- r- done .

Cheech Martin friend in this movie when to do that 70s show as that guy leo .you can see the resistance of Leo . I like adventure time too but I like the foster home for imaginary friends animated series the grim adventurers of Bill and Mandy with the grim reaper and Elvis look like Johnny bravo cow and chicken Scooby-Doo universe and the show camp Lazlo looney tunes and regular show about a blue Jay and raccoon who live in a park and the boss is benson a gumball machine with eyes nose and mouth and hands and legs and the misadventure of flapjack and dexter's laboratory and the Powerpuff girls created by the same creator of foster home for imaginary friends Craig McCracken and Joe Murray created rocko's modern life on nickelodeon in the 90s also created camp Lazlo on cartoon network and Tom kenny who played patchy the pirate also the voice of Gary and sponge Bob Square pants, so when you see patchy you are seeing spongebob voice actor and the dad of Marshall in how I met your mother is the voice of Patrick star and Patrick even has his own show and the brother of Bill Murray Brian is the voice of the pirate knuckles in the misadventure of flapjack and knuckles lost his hands and legs and his butt to accidents and storyboard artist jg quintel went to do his show regular show and voice the character mort the blue Jay and the r rated version close enough on HBO max who has now just became just max .
I saw Cheech and Chong do a show in a dirt floor arena in Anchorage, AK back in 1978/79. They said that they were doing scenes from their movie that they were working on so they wouldn't have to do "this shit" anymore. The whole place was filled with smoke because someone in the front row lit up a whole bag of the devil's lettuce at their table. Chong said to them,"I wanna see you after the show". ❤🤍💙
Nope. It was an established phrase, just not in the white world. There is a song from back in the 30's with the lyrics "It's the kind of stuff that dreams are made of... it's the stuff that white folks are afraid of... but up in Harlem... we go on a... Marijuana Jones". Basketball Jones was when the "straight" world became aware of the term. Kind of like the term "uptight", which was originally a good thing. Then the straight world got hold of it and screwed it up.
Tom Skerrit (strawberry) was Shelby's dad if you've seen Steele Magnolias, and the one cop you were undecided on is Stacey Keech. Both men are well known, and really successful actors. This is early in their careers, they have tons of roles under their belts.
Cheech and Chong were a comedy team who put out a number of albums. "Dave's not here." Later on Cheech has a pretty decent acting career under his full name (Cheech Marin). I don't know much about Chong, except his daughter -- Rae Dawn Chong -- was also an actress, who did one movie with Arnold.
"Some men, you just can't reach. So you got what we had here last week. Which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. I don't like it, anymore than you men."
I've never seen anyone react to "Up In Smoke" before, you're the first I know of. Thanks! Next in order would be: "Cheech and Chongs Next Movie" (that's the actual title), then "Nice Dreams", and then after that they kind of go down hill somewhat. Anyways, keep crushing it!
"...to quote Jay and Silent Bob..."...I laughed out loud on that. I don't know if it's truly the case, but IMHO, you wouldn't have Jay and Silent Bob without Bill & Ted, and you wouldn't have Bill & Ted without Cheech & Chong.
@@Lunch_Meat Yes there were quite a few duo acts like that, and I know I'm forgetting many, but perhaps you may go from Laurel & Hardy to Abbott & Costello, and then Martin & Lewis. Counterculture duo acts then started coming along with The Smothers Brothers and Rowan & Martin. Then on thru Cheech & Chong & the rest is history.
@@Lunch_Meat Yeah, there are a lot of others too...like Gallagher & Shean, Burns & Allen, Hope & Crosby, The Two Ronnies, Burns & Schreiber, Mitchell & Webb, Key & Peele...etc., etc., etc.
It's for when you've eaten something spicy and you use ice cream to get rid of the spiciness of whatever you ate. Then, when you're on the can and it's burning, you say, "Come on, ice cream!"
The beetle in the beginning was loaned out by Jack Nicholson. It took them 1 month to make this movie. The story the girl told in the van about her friend having sex with Alex was actually a true story the actress told them during lunch break while making the movie and they decided then to put it in the movie.
Speaking of Beatles, George Harrison plays guitar on Basketball Jones, Lou Adler brought him in for the session and Cheech tells that story on Marc Maron's WTF podcast along with Chong. Hilarious interview all the way through and you learn tons about these guys.
How could you forget Cheech Marin in From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)... playing three different characters? Also, "Dave" (aka "Dave's Not Here") is over fifty years old!
I actually saw this skit live on STAGE, one of the funniest things I've EVER SEEN !! They even did the DAVE SKIT, AND THE BAILIFF WHACK HIS PEPE SKIT !! FUNNY STUFF !!
When I saw them live back in the 70s at a small club in Cincinnati they did the "herbie&ralph" skit (the two dogs) and the "Dave ain't here" skit. BONUS, They were the opening act for Leon Redbone.
On the names, Richard Marin was given the nickname "cheech" by his uncle when he was a baby. Cheech is short for "chicharrón" which I believe is Spanish or perhaps Portuguese for pork rinds. And Thomas Chong is Chong's real name. His mom was Scottish and Irish, and his father was Chinese.
I liked her and her channel from the first 5 minutes of watching her. It's amazing to me how some people are just natural and likable without a lot of effort
My Dad who was a cop at the time when he took me & my 2 brothers to see Cheech & Chong's Next movie in the theaters when it came out in 79 or 80. We were like 12 to 15. It's still my favorite. Oh yeah, my dad loved C&C.
WHAT?? No more Dildo Alley!! Strother Martin (playing Chongs Dad) should have used his ICONIC line "What we have here is a failure to communicate"!! Have a Great Day! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
All of the scenes, even the Alice Bowie performance of *Earache My Eye,* were stuff that Cheech and Chong had been doing onstage as comedy skits for years, so they needed no dialog rehearsals which worked out really well with all the pro movie actors seeing them as guys who knew the script and were ready to work, and it helped keep the budget low with minimal retakes.
I thought Cheech and Chong’s Next Movie. Was their funniest. The thing about this one was the shock value. Their comedy skit was on an album. It came with a giant rolling paper. Love you Ashleigh. You have the best laugh on RU-vid.
This is one of the stoner must have movies lol. Cheech & Chong Still Smoking is the next one is good as well. One of my favorite Cheech Marin movies is Born in East LA. It is freaking hilarious and a must watch. Loved your reaction it was more than I expected.
Cheech and Chong became counter-culture icons back in the late 1960's and early 1970's with their comedy albums. Some very hilarious and classic skits. I heartily recommend giving them a listen.
Cheech and Chong had a good run back when I was growing up. I can't wait to see if you react to their 1984 film "Cheech & Chong's The Corsican Brothers".
Oh, definitely look into where they came from... the two are kind of fascinating. And yes, you must watch them all. This is the mark of a true fan, who knows they have witnessed something wholly original and fun just from this first movie. As an 80's kid, this was a mandatory flick in most households... if yours didn't have it one of your buddies did. Great reaction!
Cheech & Chong started off doing sketch comedy albums and live shows. Characters like Sergeant Stadenko and Strawberry originated in sketches -- but every character was voiced by Cheech & Chong.
You also might remember Cheech from the movie "From Dusk Till Dawn" where he played 3 diffeerent characters. Cheech is good friends with the director of that movie,Robert Rodriguez. and has appeared in pretty much all of his movies. Robert Rodriguez also gave his children some interesting sounding names, like Racer, Rebel, and Rocket.
Have watched every Cheech and Chong since this, new in theater, and never once needed to be high. The entertainment, for me, is watching the others be high. Glad you finally got around to this.
"I feel bad for laughing at that." Ashleigh, baby, sweetie, honey. Just because they ain't made of ink doesn't mean this movie isn't one big ole cartoon. Laugh. I mean you did. But laugh.
Wow... That was fun watching that with you. This was the perfect drive-in movie everybody getting stoned, smoke coming out of every car there, when I was in high school. "How far are you girls going? We're going all the way. Hey, that's where we're going".
Twist up a couple more and welcome to the world of Cheech and Chong. You are in for a treat. We need to have some watch and listen parties methinks, Ash. I just discovered you yesterday and can confirm you are now my very favorite RU-vid vlogger!
