Even after all these years, the setup still makes Tommy Chong giggle. Us, too.

True story; one day at work, our field cell phone rang and the dude at the other end asked for Dave. I of course said, "Dave's not here." He comes back with "very funny, let me talk to Dave." I said, there is no Dave here, I think you have the wrong number (which was true since nobody had that number). The dude finally got it the second time around. Meanwhile, my co-worker who overheard everything, is laughing so hard he is crying and blowing snot out of his nose. A timeless classic.

The back story Tommy tells here is even funnier than the bit on the album. Super cool, thanks for posting

I hope they release the actual original recording of this. That would be epic to hear.

Great story. Dave still makes laugh and I've heard it hundreds of times. I let my 10 year old son hear it and he loves it

Showing my age but I've been pulling this on people since I was a kid. It never gets old.

Me too!! And most people love it!!! Great comedy! (Dave's not here!!)

An all-time-great comedy classic! 50-something years later it's still funny!

Dave: Open the pod bay door, please HAL. HAL: I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that. Dave: This is Frank. Dave's not here.

"Dave" is on the debut "Cheech & Chong" album. "Earache My Eye" is on their fourth album "Cheech & Chong Wedding Album" I bet your dad made it clear you were late by storming into your room: "I SAID TURN THAT THING DOWN AND GET READY FOR SCHOOL!"

Soundgarden did a cover of that tune. You should check it out.

the number of times ive said....... daves not here........ and it is still as funny today as it was the very first time i heard it

My friend used to do this bit on his brother's friends when they called the house. "Can I talk to Wayne?" "Who is this?" "Neal." "Neal's not here!" ( "mom, he's doing it again!") LOL

It's now 50 years since Dave hasn't been there!

50 years later and Tommy is still laughing. I love it.

Is that original recording anywhere to be found? would be great to hear that!.

Apparently the interview goes on to say that they lost the recording. This was the 70's afterall.

Imagine having Tommy as a grandfather.

Cracking up on listening to the story

That's hilarious! I have tears in my eyes.

I don't know if he's trying to be a "reporter" by taking notes, or what, but it's being recorded man, enjoy the one in a lifetime opportunity to hang out with and maybe even get to know such a man like this even just a little. You missed your chance to (I assume) look intelligent.

Yes. I wondered about this too. I mean, you’re sitting there with Tommy Chong!!

I first head T Bone’s version of this and shortly later I heard the original

No! You guys improvised that?! Omg of course lol! So hard to edit back then lol.

When C&C did their see the stars before they die tour. I bought 5 tickets 4 for 2 of my friends plus their wives all next to each other. With 1 seat behind them for me. I got there early found my spot then went and hid some place else. They get there sit down and they're looking around for me. They're like where the fuck is Dave. The show starts they are now interested in the show so I go and sit behind them. Without them noticing and I wait. I knew the Dave's not here line was going to be used. So about 10 minutes in Tommy is talking about his bong bust and the DEA knocking at the door. What does Tommy say. Yep Dave's not here. I grab my friends by the shoulders and go "Yeah I'm here". SHOCKED the hell out of them all.

3 years since weed was legalized here. I realized that Canadian accents are just stoned accents.

I go into the "Dave's not hear" routine every time I get a scammer call me on the phone.

Every stoner in my elementary school was all Dave's not here.

Uhh, this is being recorded so why are you paying attention to your damn notepad and pen instead of making eye contact with this comedic legend? Very disrespectful. What a goof.

Imagine having Tommy as a granddad.😊😊

Reading comments to trace down the original recordings :D

Tommy and Ashton should do a remake of "Dave's Not here!"

I think I heard this referred to as "Who's on First" on weed.

Classic

Tommy and Cheech should do a remake of "Dave's Not Here" with Ashton Kutcher.

Omg. This is fucking hilarious!!!

Lmfao!!

That’s funny I don’t care who you are! 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

VLAD TV brought me here man.

110 degrees? I would've knocked Chong's ass out for keeping me outside in that heat.

Where’s the original Dave’s Not Here Tape?

Basically a stoner version of "Who's On First?"

release the original?

listen in.5 speed

I wonder why Cheech said Dave instead of "Cheech".

I feel old . Im only 50 I use this refrenence when I knock on a door to be let in to a secured area at work. The youngins did not get it. I felt stupid lol

Hihuhi

the original tape? yeah man. the original tapes not her?

Chong:telling the story Interviewer:writing with full on fake smile Me:Cringes 🙄

The door locked from the inside

just listened for the first time ever (30) and yea not funny at all

What a terrible interviewer incredibly rude and awkward to write when he’s talking. Does he write for a paper in the 1920’s?

lolol sorry dave.... 37th & national.... bad land days.... hahahahaha sorry dave hahahahahaa... billiards comin......
