Cheech and Chong and Tron

Cheech and Chong and Tron

​

Would you like to watch a video of Tron [http://www.cheechandchong.com/] lightcycles? Now's your chance!

Allow me to set the scene: Cheech and Chong, the world's most famous pair of stoners, are concerned about the price of marijuana. Will inflationary pressures force the price of a dime bag to $30? Or will economic stagnation driven by declining consumer confidence keep those pressures in check and the price of a dime bag at $20? The debate rages back and forth until the duo realizes there's only one way to settle the matter: Tron for it.

The clip is part of the Color Stampede [http://movies.msn.com/cinemash/], which includes some behind-the-scenes footage showing how the video was created.

I'm not sure how much more can be said about this, because it's obviously not something that's suddenly going to make sense if only it's explained more carefully. Cheech and Chong debate finances and ride lightcycles; you either want to see that, or you don't. Enjoy!

cheech and chong are awesome. i kinda see why they gave them up but still a great creation and they're a Canadian invention, Chong is Canada and Cheech was dodging the draft in Canada when they started their comedy routine

Jesus Christ! And I thought that I did too much peyote..........[small]gotta step it up a bit[/small]..........

This is pure awesome at its highest level.

So, this is, what, Tron 4.20?

 

[GonzoGamer]

Those guys are still hilarious.
Are they still doing a cartoon for Adult Swim?

Looks that way. That was some trippy stuff, I was just looking at it and just thinking 'I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!'

Now, to watch it again, because that was great.

Man, Cheech looks strange without his stache.

 

[GamerPhate]

Wow.. all I can say is wow.. I heard they did something together.. but something like this? What is interesting is you get a few of the greenscreen shots at the end .. so you could like remix a little bit of this. But anyways, bravo to the team that pulled this crap off. Very nice modeling.. and who isn't pissed about the price increases in pot lately?

I had no idea what was going on once it kicked into Tron mode. Neither did I know who they were.

But it was still entertaining though.

 

[Low Key]

I went in expecting something crazy and it still exceeded expections.

Thanks for making me feel old.

And cheers for making me laugh

 

[SomeGuyNamedKy]

That was epic.

Half the time though, I had no idea what was going on.

My eyes hurt now...

 

[nova18]

Cheech Marin will now haunt my nightmares.
Its like that time when I watched From Dusk Till Dawn after a night out.

Thanks Mr Malygris.

Pot and Tron...I see the connection, but it doesn't really mesh with Light-cycles, as they strike me as a precise program, not something you'd use while high...it's hard enough to avoid other people's light trails when you're not baked.
