Cheech & Chong Reminisce About Getting Busted
June 26th, 2009 by RussHere’s a cute video of the legendary comic pair retelling a story of getting busted after a performance at the Curtis Hixon Hall in Tampa, FL. Amazingly enough, the cops didn’t even attempt to pin a drug charge on the celebrity stoners. Instead, they were arrested on an obscenity charge, which was later dropped.
The Tampa police seem to be a bit sensitive about language, as they arrested Janice Joplin in 1969 while playing in the very same venue. For comics, however, being arrested for obscenity is a rite of passage. Comedy legends Lenny Bruce and George Carlin have both been taken into the clink for saying naughty things, but neither of those charges managed to stick either.
The only major charge that caught up to the Up in Smoke duo hit Tommy Chong in 2003. Already well past his comedy prime, Chong was involved in a glass bong-selling business with his son, Paris. District Attorney and Bush appointee, Mary Beth Buchanon secured Chong’s conviction on a drug paraphernalia charge (as part of a $12 million debacle called Operation Pipe Dream), for which he actually had to serve nine months in prison. This is why he refers to himself as a ‘felon’ near the end of the piece.
Unlike many other entertainers, Cheech and the Chonger actually practice what they preach. And that’s one big reason why they’re still so popular after nearly 40 years.
Cheech & Chong Tour Raided Down Under
April 21st, 2009 by Rick
25 police officers and 4 K-9 drug sniffing dogs were the latest fans party crashers to the Cheech & Chong Light Up Australia tour last Wednesday at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. 50 people were searched and 6 were found possessing a small amount of marijuana. None of the 6 were either fined or charged — instead they were issued caution notices.
A New South Wales Police spokeswoman said it was all part of a larger drug operation in that area, which included a train station and some other locations near the theater.
Cheech & Chong Parodies 24 on MadTV
April 3rd, 2009 by RickIf you missed MadTV’s epsiode that aired March 28, 2009, Cheech & Chong guest starred and were in Bobby Lee’s 24 parody.
If you want to see Bobby Lee get splashed in the face with bong water, a bong smashed on his head and get hotboxed — watch this five and a half minute clip. Cheech & Chong are their usual selves, funny and high. Look for outakes of the 24 parody towards the end.
You owe me a bong, man.

Top 10 Stoner Moments in Movies
April 20th, 2007 by AlexThis subject is just too close to people’s hearts, and I’m just not ready to jump in with my own Top 10 Stoner Movies of all time.
Instead, we’ve decided to twist the script and bring you what is sure to be just as hotly a debated topic – The Top 10 Stoner Moments in Movies.
First, the ground rules – these moments don’t necessarily need to be pure comedy or come from a ‘Stoner Movie’ so to speak. Instead, they just need to involve marijuana usage and its accompanying subject matter.
So, what better way then to kick start this monumental debate than on 4/20? Let the game begin!
Bong Water: Forrest DwellersJust being in the movie Bong Water already gives this scene a boost, but it reflects on the NorthWestern culture blazing out in the woods and going for an adventure.
