Being 4/20 Moviesandfood thought we’d come out with our list of best stoner characters of all time. Before writing this I took Towelie’s advice and just got a little high so forgive me if this blog seems half assed as I’m certainly half-baked.
15. Shaggy from Scooby-Doo
Being a kids show they never came out and said Shaggy was a stoner, but they didn’t have to. They aren’t fooling anyone. I think we all know what’s in those Scooby Snacks and I want some.

14. Carl in Caddyshack
Not a character you will see on most stoner character lists but I had to throw him on. Between his big Bob Marley joints and studying to become Head Greens Keeper he knows his fair share about grass.

13. Kumar from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle
Kumar is such a great stoner because he is so relatable. We’ve all been in his shoes. Get high, get the munchies, want to eat something life changing. Everyone has their go-to munchie food spot but every now and then you need to change it up, get behind the wheel and drive across town. Its not always easy but its always worth it when you make it to your destination.

12. Jay from Jay and Silent Bob
Gotta respect a dealer hanging by convenience store pedaling dime bags to middle school kids probably cutting it with oregano. There raps about weed are also legendary.

11. Dante from Grandma's Boy
The names of different strands of marijuana are the best. The quality of the strand is important, but what it’s called is a close second. Its marketing 101 really, the product must have a cool name. And you know how in retail stores they change up where everything is every once in a while? Because the longer the customer is in the store the more they’ll spend, well if my drug dealer had a goddamn monkey I’d never leave the place. That’s why Dante in Grandma’s Boy was the best dealer, cool product names, cool “office” atmosphere. Good drug dealer, great businessman.

10. Cheech and Chong
Figured I’d just tie these two in together. Probably deserve to be higher on the list as they are pioneers in the stoner comedy world. Marijuana is pretty main stream these days so we take for granted all the great stoner characters we have but these two broke into the scene when getting high was more taboo. Thank you Cheech and Chong.

9. Saul Silver- Pineapple Express
I’m a big James Franco fan so I had to throw his character in Pineapple Express on this list, Saul Silver. He’s just a drug dealer who wants to be friends with his clients, what’s so wrong with that? And anyone who can roll a crucifix joint deserves to make this list in my book which is convenient for Saul Silverman because I am indeed the one making this list.

8. Brian in Half Baked
Every crew need a designated munchies guy. Brian, played by Jim Breuer, is your prototypical munchies guy... and then some.

7. Towelie from South Park
Have a test tomorrow? A presentation at work? Go ahead and start preparing, but take some advice from Towelie and get a little high first.

6. Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Fast Times at Ridgemont High's Spicoli is an age old character that any stoner can relate with. He's your stereotypical lazt sarcastic unintelligent pot smoker. What makes Spicoli special is underneath all the stupid things he says and stupid things he does lies the heart of a very unique individual that all of us want to be around at the party.

5. Smokey in Friday
You don’t get the name Smokey without being a pothead. Smokey lives by one simple philosophy; I don’t got shit to do, so I’m getting high. Can’t argue with that logic.

4. Slater from Dazed and Confused
In a film full of stoners Slatersonnn stands out. Just your classic conspiracy theorist stoner. He was also one of the first feminists teaching us that behind every great man is a string women. That Martha Washington was a hip, hip lady man.

3. Ted from Ted
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, a cute little teddy bear that rips bong and gets wasted is funny 10 out of 10 times. Couldn’t leave Ted off this list.

2. Wooderson from Dazed and Confused
Another Dazed and Confused character to make the list, Matthew McConaughey pretty much just played himself in this movie. Most people in there mid-20’s that hang around getting stoned and partying with High School chicks are defined as creepy, but when its Matthew McConaughey its alright, alright, alright.

1. The Dude from The Big Lebowski
This was a no doubter for me, topping our list is The Dude, His Dudeness, Duder, El Duderino if you’re not into the whole brevity thing. The Dude is a lazy man, quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, a pacifist, a conscientious objector, takin’ ‘er easy for all us sinners. The Dude was a simple man we can all learn something from, he had his ups and downs, rolled his strikes and gutters like the rest of us, but hey, The Dude abides man.
