Donny: I am the walrus.

The Dude: You know what I'm trying to say...

Donny: I am the walrus.

Walter Sobchak: That fucking bitch...

The Dude: Oh yeah!

Donny: I am the walrus.

Walter Sobchak: Shut the fuck up, Donny! V.I. Lenin. Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!

Donny: What the fuck is he talking about, Dude?

[CroceMalo1]

Such a fucking HARMONY in their conversations!

[IDrinkUrMilkshk]

LOL Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature.

[thehumburger]

Also, Dude, Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian American, please.

[starstruck4jeffhardy]

FORGET IT, DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!

[Magnolia296]

Very entertaining movie with weird but intriguing storyline and nice acting. Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore and Steve Buscemi did a great job. I think Tara Reid deserved more screen time as well. 'The Big Lebowski' is one of my favorite comedies ever (along with Heartbreakers, Meet the Fockers, Miss Congeniality, The Gods Must Be Crazy 2, Made In America, Elvis Has Left the Building and some others)

The 90's were so great era!!!

[killerzwad80]

IS THAT SULLY FROM MONSTERS INC???

[Skunkoon98241]

@killerzwad80 Yes, yes it is ^^

[Tavener88]

[brandoon111]

This really ties the story together.

[FrukSkoFcsae]

Thats fucking interesting man, thats fucking interesting. `'~........aAa.......~'`

[tinamuse]

Donny, please.

[Kellogs43able]

this clip is fucking awesome, dude....

[FrukSkoFcsae]

[radiohippie]

Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian American, please.

[fjollornaz]

[degree7]

Why does every moment of this movie seem like a massive acid trip?

That's fucking interesting man, that's fucking interesting.

[zanzibar79]

this film gets funnier with every watch

[ng1493]

John Goodman deserved an Oscar for this movie

[TheInflicted]

1:22 laziest stretch possible.

[loverboyz901]

Also, dude Chinaman is not the perfered nomenclature, Asian-American.

And Donnie, you're out of your element

[bamarine247]

i love how steve buscemi keeps trying to jump in but only gets "donny you're out of your fucking element!"

[murdock283]

They peed on my fucking rug, man.

[loverboyz901]

They peed on his fucking rug, it really tied the room together, man

[shittyfagg]

@loverboyz901 yeah man, you know, this guy's wife goes out and owes money all over town, and they pee on HIS rug??

[MrKevstro]

Wait a second.. is the guy with the shades the guy who does those voices in Disney movies?

[40Pacino]

@MrKevstro yup

[noahmennie]

The dude hit an strike look at the bowling course: YEAH WAY TO GO DUDE!

[dtrivin]

@noahmennie Donny rolled a strike at the beginning of this scene and they never reset the pins. The Dude doesn't ever roll.

[Jefflebowski95]

@dtrivin where does the bowling ball in his hand go then?

[dtrivin]

@Jefflebowski95 good question. When I watch the clip, The Dude moves out of frame and then back in 7 seconds. During that time Walter, Donny, and The Dude are talking. No time to roll. He probably set his ball in the ball return, held his hand over the air blower, and then stretched. The blooper here is that the pins didn't reset after Donny rolled. Also, if The Dude had rolled a strike, there probably would have been some reaction from the guys. Just my opinion, man. The Dude abides.

[Jefflebowski95]

@dtrivin good point man. 

[pegrathwol]

Also Dude...'Chinaman' is not the preferred nomenclature....

[TheChiefsDude]

They peed on his Fucking rug.

[georock123]

R.I.P Donnie.

[Solus77]

@usf123456789 All you peeps who are trying to refute this tom guy think you can easily do so but you don't REALLY KNOW why you like this movie so much. Because the reasons why you like it are so not what tom is talking about and definitely not enough to oppose his arguments. no, he's not like a child who wanders in the middle of the movie - most of you are. the majority doesn't understand the movie at all. I admit I didn't understand some od its deeper connotations either. I do like it tho. :)

[dtrivin]

@Solus77 Okay, bro, how about enlightening the rest of us, in detail, about your depth of understanding about this movie. Also, please explain why I don't REALLY KNOW why I like this movie so much. And please give us a little more background on your ability to know that "the majority doesn't understand the movie at all." And you are right, Tom is not like a child who wanders into the middle of the movie, because that implies he could actually find the movie theater. :-)

[Solus77]

@dtrivin First of all, I'm not your bro, bro. I gave you a link to a review by some guy who spent a substantial amount of his time (in other words a waste) to go in depth about this creation. Now what I find fascinating is how there is always some cult following that develops after a film that's obscure and murky and unconventional comes out. Something now straightforward but susceptible to various interpretations. Movies like this are often so ambitious that they seems to discuss everything. ->

[dtrivin]

@Solus77 Hey bro, thanks for the reply and where's that link you promised?

[TylerTheStud42]

@dtrivin this is a good a good fucking movie

[Solus77]

@dtrivin Like so many multifarious themes and subjects, including the meaning of life or whatever. And more often than not, the authors themselves didn't mean it to be so 'deep' and universal, touching on everything. In fact, they couldn't pull it off even if they wanted to. Now, people tend to draw out so many allusions and meanings and symbolics that it often seems as though the movie really is a work of genius and truly diverse and ubiquitous. People are attracted to this mistique surrounding

[Solus77]

@dtrivin it and then they tend to oppose anyone who says the movie isn't really that good (even though it's just their opinion) because the film is so good and you so get it and it's just so good. That's nonsense as you can see. I've read more about this film than any of you numbnuts put together as Clint would say - and you can take my fucking word on it. Now that we've established that I know more about The Big Lebowski and cinematograhpy in general, I will say that I like it simply because

[Solus77]

@dtrivin it's amusing. It's funny. From a critical point of view, it is somewhat artistically valuable and it is well made. The Coen bros are not just another name among directors after all. They're sort of unique, like Tarantino I suppose. Got their own style and all... But I digress. I hope you read it all you smartass piece of shit cos I've wasted some 10 minutes of my life. Anyway, don't bother with replies cos I won't be reading them.

Peace all. Nobody fucks wit' te'...

[dtrivin]

@Solus77 Wow, bro. All I can say is that I'm calmer than you. We agree that the movie is funny. Cool. And how about lightening up. Really. Anything you do with your time is valuable, though you might not see the benefit until later.

[Solus77]

@dtrivin Oh and your 'supposedtobefunny' last sentence is so pathetic and immature that I have no idea why I bothered to write all that shit for you.

[dtrivin]

@Solus77 I'm calmer than you. Thanks for the lengthy and thoughtful reply. The Dude Abides.

[Solus77]

@dtrivin You're welcome. PEACE ALL! And enjoy good movies!

[tvojemama0123456789]

That rug really tied the room together...

[brenchtoast44]

Did they pee on his fucking rug?

[Rdwomack]

The Asian American is not the issue here...or china-man if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

[greenjello818]

@TomMichaels101 dude your out of your element

[1derekpearman]

That rug really tied the room together

[kalibos]

@1derekpearman

Fuckin A man.

[dhide14]

"That's fucking interesting man...that's fucking interesting"

[TimothySideburns]

Greatest movie scene ever. 

[seattlejohn01]

I love this scene.  Steve Buschemi's Donny is so happily clueless and John Goodman's Walter is so tightly wound that anything will send him over the edge. Perfect depiction of 3 people talking on different wavelengths & not really listening to anyone else. Great stuff!

[bd2988]

Fuckin-A

[MVolta08]

Just because we're bereaved, it doesn't make us saps!!!

[AsG1989]

Across this line, YOU DO NOT

[sqm38]

They peed on my fucking rug lol

[megafaded69]

"and dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature..."

[Trawgdoar]

DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT

[samuraiyao]

The only movie that needs to be seen every year... I watch this movie religiously...

[gojira931]

the best scene in the whole movie

[vladodelija4life]

first time i ever seen the movie it was funny, and clever, second time it got even better, i have literally seen this movie over 100 times, and it is brilliant, i just appritiate the cone brothers so much, what an epic movie, the characters the script and scenario is all brilliant.. donny, jesus, walter,dude, the cowboy guy all brilliant actors for those roles,

[forcephase]

THE CHINAMAN IS NOT THE ISSUE!

[immortalass]

Donnies facial expressions are what really makes this great.

[jazzyj12399]

thats right dude they peed on your fucking rug

[TzekeT]

If the dude had just bought rug cleaner none of this would have happened lol

[mrincodi]

@TomMichaels101 Well... thats just like... your opinion, man. :D

[mrincodi]

Donny? Please.

[mrincodi]

@TomMichaels101 and everyone: There are many reasons why this movie is awesome. Some of them:

- The definition of the characters and the relations among them is impeccable

- The casting is perfect (nobody would do a better Dude, Walter or Donny)

- The story is very good!

- It is innovative in its style.

- The dream sequences, which borrow from Busby Berkeley.

- It is memorable in it's use of non sequitur humor, something that is very difficult do script and even harder to perform successfully

[AsG1989]

they peed on your fucking rug

[sandman4321]

We're talking about uncheck agression here dude.........

[ARobb5]

I love how Donnie is almost ignored by the other characters unless a) Walter is grilling him or b) he's dieing. John Goodman was one of the best actors in the movie along with Bridges and Turturro (although his lack of screen time takes away from this).

[atlbraves1025]

Where you listening to the dudes story donny?? I was bowling... So you have no frame of reference here donny your like a child who wonders into the middle of the movie

[ifimlyinimbryan]

John Goodman should have got a fucking oscar for this shit!

[Conway79]

"His name is Lebowski? That's your name dude!"

Donnie is brilliant. I laugh every time I hear that line.

[llamasarus1]

this movie woudnt be the same without donny and the F-word

[TheSmoothdancer]

donny you are out of your element lol

[llamasarus1]

"donny your out of your element"

[darkknightfan100]

they pee'd on your fucking rug

[MsGoregasm]

this movie is balls to ther walls

[beakman10]

Donny, you're out of your element!

[godlike51]

That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

Greatest movie EVER.

[TomMichaels101]

I see comments like this all over the place...

" 'his name is Lebowski, that's your name dude'. Steve Buscemi is my hero."

...and I don't get it. Why is that funny? Why does it make Steve Buscemi your hero? Why does it stick in your mind at all, let alone resonate so much?

I will happily concede that I'm wildly missing something about this movie (clearly I am), but I just don't get why all these random lines have turned into Enduring Cultural Citations. They don't MEAN anything.

[dtrivin]

@TomMichaels101 exactly, the lines don't mean anything by themselves. It's the context of the story, the relationship of bowling buddies, Walter, Donny, and the Dude that give the lines meaning. It reminds us of all the inane, stupid conversations we've had with friends, while under the influence or not, and we can laugh at ourselves. The Bowling Alley scene is wonderful because 3 great actors, who've done serious drama and comedy, create so much with so little dialog. Just a fantastic script.

[dtrivin]

@TomMichaels101 so what I suggest is that you gather a few friends together with a more than ample supply of choice beverages, fire up a few jays, and pay homage to one of the funniest movies ever. Favorite lines in the movie are when the boys confront the kidnappers and Donny asks, "Are these Nazis, Walter?" and Walter says, "They're nihilists, Donny, nothing to be afraid of." Now, that's fucking funny!

[TomMichaels101]

@dtrivin Thanks for the attempted explanation. But still no dice.

I've seen the movie, so that's not the issue. I have lots of quirky tastes, and love offbeat comedy, so that's not the issue. I love Bridges and appreciate the Coen Brothers, so that's not the issue.

I simply don't get why this film, particularly the dialogue, has taken on this cult adoration. The 'nihilists' line you call fucking funny -- what's so funny about it? What are we laughing at, exactly? Can you explain? (cont.>)

[dtrivin]

@TomMichaels101 :) Okay, I'll give it a shot. In a nutshell, nihilists believe in nothing, I think Bunny mentions it to The Dude when he asks about the drunk guy in the swimming pool. So, if nihilists believe in nothing, Walter says that there's nothing to be afraid of. The only thing to be afraid of is nothing because that's what they believe in, nothing.

[clovis86]

@TomMichaels101 well boo-hoo buddy i guess you just don't get it. Thats really unfortunate for you.

[brelfan]

@TomMichaels101 I think the reason it's taken on cult status is because The Dude is so recognizeable. If there's a weakness in the film, to me, it's the sterotypic intrigue horse shit. Drags on the movie somewhat. The Dude and Walter are such pleasures to watch, otherwise.

[TomMichaels101]

(2) I suspect what's throwing me off is that I actually *know* plenty of burnouts and slackers. Lots of good times. And they're all far more real and organic and funny than anything in this film, which is more like what a distant intellectual might THINK burnout life is like. It just gets the essence wrong.

That's what rubs me wrong about it, I think. It's this stylized take on burnout life that doesn't even realize it's stylized. It's unaware of its own inauthenticity. (cont.>)

[TomMichaels101]

(3) And largely so are its fans, who strike me as voyeurs who think they're getting a glimpse of some funky existence -- like the frat boys who get into hip-hop because it feels like some exotic taste of black life.

Fans rave that Bridges has captured the aimless stoner vibe. But he hasn't. He looks like ... an actor pretending to be what he thinks a stoner is. I feel like shaking all you fans: I KNOW BURNOUTS, AND THIS IS NO BURNOUT, DAMMIT!

[dtrivin]

@TomMichaels101 The Dude might be behind on his rent, but he, Walter, and Donny are not burnouts and slackers. And they are not aimless. They're on a mission and The Dude and Walter might seem inept, but they do pretty well considering that the Big Lebowski and Brant is lying to them. They figure the scheme out. Just my opinion. :) Bro, it's just a movie, fiction, comedy, a farce. It's not a documentary.

[TheSkootertrash]

@dtrivin SHUT THE FUCK UP TOMMY!!!

[WolfgangAmadeusGiles]

@dtrivin yeah

well

thats like

your opinion man 

[Brianmac722]

@TomMichaels101

get over yourself, you fucking dillweed

[nicegirlmercy]

@Brianmac722

That's just, like, his opinion, man.

[salvo711]

@TomMichaels101

You're right, dude. The burnout isn't the issue here. It's a fucking movie, not a fucking documentary, dude. Just watch the fucking movie, man.

[usf123456789]

@TomMichaels101 I'm sorry but no matter how convincing you're trying to sound, you have no frame of reference. You're like a child who wonders in the middle of a movie. Obviously, you're out of your element.

[mrincodi]

@usf123456789 Best reply ever!! :D

[magicalchair]

@TomMichaels101 here let me explain your misperception.... YOU'RE A MORON. you obviously weren't listening to the dude's story

[14houghton91]

@TomMichaels101 that's just like your opinion man

[sternumagnum]

@TomMichaels101 There is nothing strange whatsoever about this film getting a cult following and now a rather mass following. That is the real world, man. It may look fynny onscreen but that's the daily interaction and communication between human beings! It's clumsy and prone to constant misinterpretation and usually leaning towards trouble. The Coens seem to give us a simple comedy about a bunch of guys but that's just the rug that ties the thing together.

[FlyingBoxHead]

@TomMichaels101 I think I speak for all of us.You NEED TO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

We know you love to troll the web,I have a couple of times I'll admit but looking at your'e comments history on your channel you seem to love to be a hater and you target the most random videos on the tube.I really don't know what youre major malfunction is but all I do know is that you need it beat outa you.

[minameise]

@TomMichaels101

You're out out of your element, so stfu and gtfo.

[Mediczmofo]

@TomMichaels101 Yeah, well.. that's just like uhhh.... your opinion man

[WallyWadeMovies]

@TomMichaels101 .........jesus.....

[yourMINDmakesITreal]

@WallyWadeMovies you said it man

[ThomasDArseface]

@TomMichaels101 Tom? That's my name, dude!

[Solus77]

@TomMichaels101 You know what? I partially agree! If nothing, it was well said at least. I respect your opinion. Thanks!!!

P.S. Read the review/analysis/interpretation I had posted, if you're interested and have time that is. ;)

[dtrivin]

@TomMichaels101 of course it's a stylized take, it's a movie, and comedy,

[idiotboxx999]

The chinaman is not the issue here!!!

The Dude abides.

[CountryQuestion]

All aspiring actors should study John Goodman's performance in this scene, it's a fucking masterclass man

[WangasaurusRex]

I love how the first minute and a half of this scene is shot with one take. Beautiful

[dazedandconfused038]

@WangasaurusRex

Likewise. This movie is just too brilliant.

[majorocelot1124]

Ever thus to dead beats Lebowski

[majorocelot1124]

Wasnt he also in The Tucker?

[dtrivin]

@majorocelot1124 Yes, great movie

[majorocelot1124]

@dtrivin also cleaned up well in that one. That car could have been great

[donnyab]

poor donny

[Porcelina777]

It's unbelieveable how funny this movie is.

[shalevgr10]

this is the best movie on the planet.

[BeRussFour]

I love how Walter rarely finishes his sentences in this scene. Genius.

[dfabian24]

Am I wrong?

No

Am I wrong?

yeah

okay then

[fing1985]

what are you talking about the chinaman is not the issue here dude!

[t168]

@fing1985 dude chinamen is not the prefered nomenclature here dude asian american please

[zluvsj]

Shut the fuck up donny

[Monsterdrumma]

GENIUS!

[Legba85]

"Donny, you're out of your element!!!" John Goodman is fucking sweet in this.

I always feel so sorry for Donnie, especially knowing what will happen to him later. :(

[stephie4066]

Donny you're out of your element!

[LumpyAdams]

Donnie, please.

[thagoff]

you're like a child, who wanders in the middle of a movie..

[thevandit]

Jeff Bridges was great in Dumb & Dumber

[dtrivin]

@thevandit : I think you've mixed up Jeff Bridges with Jeff Daniels. Daniels was in Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carrey. All great actors.

[NeilFraudstrong]

@dtrivin

Whenever I see Jeff Bridges in Seabiscuit, I always go, "Holy shit, The Dude cleans up well."

[dtrivin]

@NeilFraudstrong

Yeah, he does. Have you seen "A Door in the Floor?" A weird little movie with Kim Basinger playing his wife. The Dude abides.

[heatseeker64]

The Chinaman is not the issue here!

[Dfrogman]

omg i had to watch this like 3 times. COuldn't stop laughing

[emceecaspa]

"this isnt a guy who built the railroads here"
