Hello, all.

First off, I need to make a quick addendum to the post about yesterday's recommendation... I forgot to give special mention "honors" to another great spoof movie to emerge from the 80s, TOP SECRET!

I mean, it also has an exclamation mark in its title, so, yeah, I'm a bit of a yutz for having forgotten it. Been rather busy, tho', so please do forgive me. Before I go into today's pick, let me thank @BigUn for having posted the bit from AIRPLANE! that came to mind... I didn't get to reply to that, either, but here's hoping all of you [and he] can...

Anyway, it's on to new [and different] comedic ground with today's pick. And "pick" may be a little tongue-in-cheek given the subject matter. Before there was Harold and Kumar or PINEAPPLE EXPRESS [tho' admittedly well after there was REEFER MADNESS, which is a comedy for entirely different reasons], there was Cheech and Chong.

Specifically, I'm referring to CHEECH AND CHONG'S NEXT MOVIE.

From IMDb, the plot is "The two stoners and their friends go through another series of crazy, drug-influenced misadventures." And, well, that pretty much says it all.

But what separates this one from their many other drug-influenced misadventures? Well, maybe it's Cheech's song "Mexican-Americans," which everyone should listen to now... if not Chong's song inspired thereby. Maybe it's another Pee-Wee Herman cameo [not really]. Maybe it's space cocaine... yes, well before Simon Pegg got high with PAUL, Cheech and Chong were snorting "space coke."

For me, tho', it's a brief bit with Michael Winslow [of POLICE ACADEMY fame], that I'll embed a bit later. For now, we'll just stick with the trailer, embedded below:



I'm sure that some would think that UP IN SMOKE or even NICE DREAMS should be in this spot... and, well, no. Not for yours truly, anyway. A lot of it has to do with this scene, which manages to defy the law of diminishing returns, at least in terms of the laugh factor:



Enjoy! But only if you're in Washington State, or Colorado, and so on... :)
