One of the funniest easter eggs/details in this movie is in the first scene where is writing the 69¢ check for the half-and-half, and he writes the date Sept. 11th, then a few days latter his landlord is reminding him about the rent by saying that "tomorrow is the 10th"… so that means The Dude was post-dating the check!! That The Dude was kiting a 69¢ check sums up the character perfectly. This movie get funnier and funnier the more times you watch it.

"I'm helping her conceive man!" That gets me every time 🤣🤣❤❤

I absolutely love this movie. No matter how many times I watch this movie it just gets better and better. Awesome reaction guys and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Another great Coen brothers movie is Raising Arizona. It stars a young Nick Cage.

That's like,. Your opinion, man..

One of my family favorites..lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻❄️

Walter is based on the famous screenwriter and self proclaimed "Zen Anarcist", John Milius wrote legendary Hollywood lines in legendary movies.... - "Apocalypse Now": "Charlie don't surf!"; "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning." - "Jaws": "... the thing about the shark, he's got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eyes." - "Dirty Harry": "This is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world. It can take your head clean off. You've got to ask yourself, 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?" - "Conan the Barbarian": "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to hear the lamentations of their women."

Definitely check out Burn After Reading, also by the Cohen Brothers!

the fact that Brandt calls dude dude is so good

This one and Raising Arizona are probably for me the two funniest films from the Coen Brothers. John Goodman was in both, and was also in O Brother Where Art Thou and Barton Fink (and possibly others that I'm blanking on right now). Turturro is such a great character actor, he was in Barton Fink and Miller's Crossing by the Coens. He was kind of a go-to for both the Coens and Spike Lee (Do the Right Thing, Clockers, He Got Game).

Nice reaction. It is one of my favorite movies. I've revisited it so many times throughout the years.

I love how Dude crashes his car out of a clear blue sky. Nobody chasing him, nobody messing with him.... just driving on a straight, quiet street all by himself, and crashed.

Well to be fair, he did set his crotch on fire with his failed attempt to eject the doobie out a closed window first.

Stumbled across you two yesterday with your reaction to exorcist and I think I’ve watched about 5 more since then. You two are a great team and I love your videos so far! Subscribed 😊 also, many towns have an annual big Lebowski fest with screenings, trivia, loads of cosplay etc. we used to go to ours often but haven’t since 2019 cause obvious 2020 reasons…. Hoping to go back for the next one

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed. Hopefully you can go to another fest now that things are opening up!

24:26 i've seen this movie over 50 times, easy. never thought about the music here. excellent 👍🏼

Her life is in your hands, Dude.

this movie inspired a religion. dudeism and the church of the latter day dudes. Yes it's real. You can actually become an ordained dudeist priest.

12:43 "what th f&ck???" "oh, she's an artist." Explains that 🙂

Peter Stormare ALSO played Satan in the movie Constantine. It's probably my favorite onscreen portrayal.

Nice reaction, dude abides.

Sam Elliot was also in the movie called Lifeguard in the '70s

33:19 when you find a stranger in the alps

When I watched this for the time when the dude said “the dude abides” it was like a religious moment for me. It was The line of the movie. Gotta include that in the Final Cut. But that’s just like my opinion man. 😊

7:51 He's passionate about the rules 😎

Y'all should check out the Coen Brothers first general release film. Blood Simple. It is insanely good.

I love This Movie,Best Reaction Ever, Guy's

Have you seen Patch Adams with Robin Williams? It has Phillip Seymour Hoffman in it too, and he plays another uptight man. It’s not just a funny film, but it has some sad parts, and it is inspired by the real Patch Adams. If you’ve seen The Shawshank Redemption, you’ll recognize the director of the hospital.

I haven't seen that one, actually! Robin Williams was one of the greatest comic talents ever.

Looks like you could easily do a pretty solid cosplay as Walter with some tinted shades and a trimmed beard. You could be a ringer for a ringer!

This movie is epic :-)

I actually paid to this probably 10 or 15 times!! 'Nuff said.

A lot of people are initially confused about what this movie is actually about. To me it's basically a modern iteration of Camus. It's all about the pointlessness in trying to find a purpose to the causal links between events and actions. The existence that we know is a state of chaos and if there is any meaning it is one that we ourselves contrive, but usually, due to the conflicting nature of several minds playing a part in any situation, there is no meaning to be found. This is the central theme of all of the Coen brothers' movies. Their comedies examine the humor in that fact and their dramas the tragedy of it. The dude lets reality wash over him as a rule, but when he decides to pursue an actual goal the world around him only becomes more ridiculous. The entire essence of the movie can be defined by the moment when he etches Jackie Treehorn's notepad looking for a clue, but only finds a stick figure with a huge dick.

So it's A Serious Man before A Serious Man.

The nihilists just look like the keyboarder of Rammstein (Christian Lorenz/Flake) started a gang.

Hi there

I tend to see Donnie as a representation of the 'superego', ineffectually countering the impulsive 'Id' of Walter to mold the 'ego' of the Dude. In the absence of that input of moral conscience, the Dude is essentially an empty vessel at the mercy of the latest information presented to him. Hence, the repetition of phrasing that he's heard earlier, and the inability formulate his own ideas (e.g. the limo). Even the Jackie Treehorn sketch scene is kind of an amateur detective trope. I know some people posit that Donnie's just a figment of Walter's imagination, but it doesn't wash. It can't be taken so literally, but if anything, both Walter and Donnie are elements of the Dude's psyche.

As a retired psychologist I am pretty acquainted with what's referred to as "bizarre" and that qualifies. I kinda hope you're not being serious.

The Coen Brothers next film was Fargo, and since Walter was always telling Donny the shut the F up in this one, he talks constantly in Fargo.

You got it backwards, actually. This was the movie after Fargo and because Steve Buscemi wouldn't shut up in that one, they kept telling him to shut the f--- up in this one.
