I dated a guy named Dave when I was 17. My mom had a rule that we always had to announce when there was company coming over and to announce when they are at the front door. I'd holler up the stairs "Dave's here" whenever I'd have him over. And every time Every Single time I would hear back "Dave's not here, man" in my Mothers voice and then hear my dad and her laughing.

As cousin Red said, "Ho-ly sheep shit!" What I love the most about this routine is the comedic timing. The premise of the joke is shit simple -- a very good thing -- putting the comedy squarely on Cheech's and Chong's shoulders. I can only think to compare this to Abbot and Costello's "Who's On First" in terms of timing.

DEA comes to raid Chong's house and he answers the door with, "Dave's not here man." Legendary.

My dad's name is David. He used to give seminars in the tech industry. For a time, he had his computer set to play this skit during breaks and "don't do this, Dave" from Space Odyssey on shut down.

Can't believe it's been (almost) 50 years. It seems that this played longer (?), although the memory is filtered through beer and some decent (by present day thc levels -- not even close) bud. In my friends', Servantez, basement, along with several other dudes and dudettes on a weekend night -- chillin' and listening to this and some tunes while downing some cold beers and some smoke through a wine & ice filled bong, til the gang split up -- marriage, the Navy, cop shop, etc. made their calls and we, for the most part went our separate ways. This still makes me smile and remember. Glad newer generations are enjoying it.

There was an episode of "Nash Bridges" (co-starring Marin) where Chong played a hotel clerk. Marin's a police detective, and he and his partner are in the hotel lobby looking for a suspect. Marin's and Chong's characters know each other, and at one point, Marin asks Chong "hey, you ever see our old friend Dave?" And sure enough, Chong deadpans, "Dave's not here, man." Best. Callback. Ever.

My son has to do a puppet show for cub scouts. He hates the idea of grabbing two old socks and making them talk to each other. So I suggested Dave's Not Here. Hope the den mother has a sense of humor.

My parents were super strict, fundamentalist Southern Baptists - they sent me and my big sister to private Christian school, we went to church 4x per week, twice on Sundays, Wednesday and Friday nights; and the only kids we were allowed yo socialize with were from church and school and our cousins. One of our older cousins gave my big sister a cassette tape with this sketch and other Cheech and Chong bits he had recorded by putting one of those old mono cassette recorders in front of his parents hi-fi speakers. Our dad found the tape and had us sit on the couch in the living room with our mom sitting in a chair looking at us like she was SO ashamed of us. “You two are gonna sit there and watch how it hurts your mother and I knowing you two listen to this filth,” our father yelled. My sister and I were already crying when our dad started the tape. “Dave’s Not Here” was the first sketch. Dad didn’t make it 30 seconds before he started to laugh and mom started laughing next. We listened to the entire 30 minute tape laughing as s family for the first time I could remember.

The absolute best part of this skit is it was never supposed to happen. Tommy Chong spur of the moment had this idea to say 'Dave's Not Here' and the Production Crew loved it and kept it.

I had the album. With the rolling paper intact. I gave it to my son's friend when I moved a few years ago and I dumped all my vinyl. I hope he appreciates it. Probably worth something.

After much research, and hours of meditation, I have come to the conclusion that Dave's not here.

It doesn't matter how many times I hear this, it is hysterical.

I have a camper at a campground, everyone has a sign on theirs stating their names. My name sign has three parts that each has it's own light inside with it's own separate on/off switch. The top part says "Daves" , the middle "Not" , and the bottom says "Here". I light each one according to what I want to convey to everyone: "Daves" says that it's my place, and I light the other two respectively to show whether or not I am there at the moment. Everyone comments on the sign.

Memories............... Sweet memories!

A classic. (I love the mental breakdown at the end.) Thanks for this.

hahaha Dave's not here!!! ...that's the best skit ever...

The best knock, knock joke ever.

This was the hight of comedy between my friends and I. We would get high and laugh so hard that we cried tears. This was the 80’s and the world didn’t look any better to us than it does to the kids today but the kids today all think that they are special and that the world owes them something. We weren’t told we were special, we were told that life is gonna be tough and that it was up to us to make the best out of it cuz no one was gonna bail us out. I think that’s the difference between us and kids today. Kids today think they are owed college, a job, and they fail to understand that no one owes you anything.

I heard somewhere, maybe an interview, that this was the first bit they ever recorded and that Chong came up with the "Dave's not here" line out of the blue. The skit was supposed to go in another direction but they went with it and this is the end result. Too funny. That episode of Miami Vice, where Cheech makes a guest appearance and they go into a shop looking for a guy named Dave and Chong is there instead and tells them Dave's not here...Cheech and Ching fans got it, for everyone else it just sailed on by.

This is classic 😹! I remember hearing this sketch for the first time on a CD album called CHEECH & CHONG'S GREATEST HIT when i loaned it from a city library in 2007. I was 24 years old at that time. 😺👍

Cop: Hey, are you Dave? Dave: Uh, no, man. Door opens: Hey, Dave! Somebody was just here for you, man.

"Who is it? It's me Dave, open up man I got the stuff..." 😂

I did this with a friend at a talent show in High School. Mind you, this was an Iowa town with 1,000 people and the school was K-12, and the show director begged me to say *I got the loot *. I would not be censored though, but I did compromise to allow the emcees to announce the local bank was robbed, and I drew a giant dollar sign on the bag I had. It was perfect. I even wrote in my own ending to where I walked off stage without the bag and the Chong character stuck his arm outside the door and grabbed it. I figured it's even funnier if that was his plan the whole time. It was excellent.

When the whereabouts of someone named Dave are unknown . . . always a happy event. I've seen it once at work and once at a Jaycees convention

I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.

....every time I hear this I think of my best friend and how much fun we use to have ; I just had to put this in my favorites on my pc ( I miss her bunches and hope she moves back home someday !!!! )

My friends had a severely handicapped son named Dave and sometimes I would come and read to him, perform music, watch silly movies, etc. ..... Being that he traveled between parents every week, I would call sometimes to see about reading (etc.) and one time, one of them called me back to say "Yeah, um, Dave's not here! .... But, ......"

My dad was named Dave, and the amount of times I say, “Dave’s not here man” to his death would make him proud
