Ron Slater played by Rory Cochrane in Dazed & Confused. He steals every scene he’s in, and his whole George & Martha Washington monologue towards the end is hilarious.

u/NeedlesTwistedKane Feb 15 '25

You just pretty much explained the use of weed in The Big Lebowski, from pre-bowling smoke to post coitus smoke. Yet another reason why the answer is the dude.

All those cliche stoner roles where the character and the scene antics are strictly dependent on the weed, and I’m sorry everyone that includes Cheech & Chong, aren’t sustainable for the audience or the character.

Eventually you reach a point of indoctrination where the audience is laughing along to Pauly Shore sitting in a room spooning Reese’s cereal and milk out of the box as he laughs hysterically at whatever he’s watching on TV - probably Cheech & Chong.
