#10 - Brian
MOVIE: Half Baked
​ACTOR: Jim Breuer

Despite the fact that the character being portrayed here does tend to be a little over-the-top stereotypical, he's still kind of a lovable loser. All of the 'Half Baked' cast are fun in their respective stoner roles, but none of them is so hardcore as Brian.

The video shows a pretty good, albeit exaggerated version of a typical stoner with the munchies, in that it's pretty much impossible just to decide on one thing. So why not get everything?

#09 - Jeff Spicoli
MOVIE: Fast Times at Ridgemont High
​ACTOR: Sean Penn

Granted that I haven't seen this film in a while, there's really no denying putting the young Sean Penn role on the list. The main reason for this is that he brought along a whole new voice to the dumb stoner type. It would eventually be immitated by such characters as Bill & Ted and even everyone's favorite Ninja Turtle (at least back then) Michaelangelo.

Truth be told, I don't even remember Spicoli smoking in the movie, but at the same time, the video shows an improbable stunt someone with a bad case of the munchies could totally be seen doing; ordering a pizza to his classroom.

#08 - Floyd
MOVIE: True Romance
​ACTOR: Brad Pitt

This guy is just dumb as a ton of bricks. But I'd be lying if I said he wasn't one of the most likable and memorable characters of the entire movie. Which is kinda crazy considering how much of a side character he is.

The video shows just how fried he actually gets, and Pitt, being the great actor he is, pretty much nails it. He doesn't make much eye contact, sits there with a dumb grin the whole time, and even offers the guys with guns a toke 'cause he's just friendly and likes to share. Much like Brian, he's the lovable loser type.

#07 - Marty Mikalski
MOVIE: The Cabin in the Woods
ACTOR: Fran Kranz

It's funny, but while creating this list I realized that THIS GUY is no where to be seen on anyone else's list. Why not, though? The movie did pretty well, both critically and according to general audiences, and he's easily the most interesting character in the film.

Marty, kinda like Slater, is the conspiracy theory stoner who is put into a situation where he slowly starts to discover that what he believes is strangely turning out to be true. I won't spoil it all for you, but I have to say that his character leaves us with some interesting things to think about. Plus, he's pretty damn funny.

#06 - Ron Slater
MOVIE: Dazed and Confused
​ACTOR: Rory Cochrane

Back in 1993 when 'Dazed & Confused' was released, it provided a pretty good break through for several actors involved, including Ben Affleck, Mila Jovovich, Joey Lauren Adams, and of course, Rory Cochrane.

Cochrane, as Slater, ends up being a lot of people's favorite character from this movie, despite the fact that his role isn't even really that big. But we like how he analyzes everything, and comes up with a good share of stoner conspiracies. He even manages to convince others that they're true. But apart from that, he's just a chill, laid back guy. Definitely someone who is in the running for "best representation of a stoner"

#05 - Smokey
MOVIE: Friday
ACTOR: Chris Tucker

Before Chris Tucker blew up with his 'Rush Hour' movies, he was largely known for his stand up, but also the character of Smokey from 'Friday'.

'Friday' takes place over the course of one full day (two guesses which day it is), and involves a comedic twist on the sort of everyday life in the hood. Bringing so much light to it is Smokey, who provides incredibly quotable lines for any stoner, and is probably THE biggest pot head you'll see on screen. He's almost cartoonish in his own way, providing plenty of hilarity.

#04 - Jay & Silent Bob
MOVIE: The Jersey Series
ACTORS: Jason Mewes & Kevin Smith

Back in 1994, Kevin Smith came along and introduced us to Jay & Silent Bob, two of the most legendary stoner characters, with a total of six movies together, and even a short stint on 'Degrassi'.

While Jay is playing your obnoxious dealer who probably thinks he's better than everyone else, and ultimately careless, Silent Bob is the quiet one who only really opens his mouth to give advice. The two are a pretty much perfect contrast, and two pretty different types of stoners for their time. The good news is, they are probably coming back for more!

#03 - Harold Lee & Kumar Patel
MOVIE: Harold & Kumar Trilogy
ACTORS: John Cho & Kal Penn

I always kinda considered Harold & Kumar to be the modern-day answer to Cheech & Chong. Their movies don't necessarily do well, critically, but among stoners, they are classics.

The best of the bunch, for my money, is the first title 'Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle'. It's the simple story of two every day stoners setting out to find White Castle burgers after seeing a drool-inducing ad on TV. That's really all it is, but along the way, they run into all sorts of over-the top hilarious problems.

Who'd have thought that it would have the cult following it does, when 'White Castle' was literally advertised as starring "that Indian guy from 'Van Wilder' and that Asian guy from 'American Pie'." NOW John Cho is also Sulu from 'Star Trek' and Kal Penn... shit, he worked for the White House!

#02 - Jeff Lebowski, aka The Dude
MOVIE: The Big Lebowski
ACTOR: Jeff Bridges

Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski is just the best, isn't he? This is no only an all-time favorite character of mine, but he also comes from probably one of my top 5 all-time favorite movies.

This character is so likable, I think, because he's just that cool and careless person we all WISH we could get away with being. He's by no means a good role model, but he represents a character who hasn't been "broken" (for lack of a better word) by society. He just lazes around, unemployed, happy, and smoking hash and drinking White Russians. Not a care in the world, until someone comes along and pees on his rug, mistaking him for someone else.

#01 - Cheech & Chong
MOVIE: Cheech & Chong Series
ACTORS: Cheech Marin & Tommy Chong

How could these two NOT have a #1 position on this list? They basically (and arguably) started the whole "stoner flick" thing anyway.

My highest recommendation for anyone to see these two at their absolute best is about the opening 20 minutes or so of 'Up in Smoke'. The whole movie is good, but that whole driving sequence was pretty much what made them famous.

While Cheech Marin is staying pretty much set in the background these days, Tommy Chong can still be seen as that epitome stoner character that he, himself is, a whole almost 40 years after 'Up in Smoke' was released!
