Though it sounds like it was conceived and recorded between bong hits inside a college dormitory, Cheech & Chong's 1971 debut album was actually the product of years of comedic honing. In the late 1960s, guitarist Tommy Chong founded a musical/performance art troupe called City Works. The venture was short-lived, but it introduced him to fellow boho-prankster Richard "Cheech" Marin. When City Works faltered, the duo hitched their wagon to the burgeoning drug culture of the day, and Cheech & Chong was born. Their brand of humor wasn't particularly innovative--after all, making comedy for stoners is like preaching to the choir--but it was unquestionably of its time, and more importantly, it took greater steps toward anesthetizing the "drug menace" than any government program ever has. Cheech & Chong treats drug consumption as a harmless, hapless joke; "Drug Czar" William Bennett could learn a lot from these cats. --Matt Hanks

Cheech and Chong's funniest album,
By
This review is from: Cheech & Chong (Audio CD)
Cheech and Chong may have turned into movie stars later in the '70's, but their best humour was on this classic album. Stoner comedy has never been so hilarious as on these early bits: 'Dave', 'Blind Melon Chitlin', 'Acapulco Gold Filters' and 'Trippin In Court' are the best, but they're all excellent. This cd is even more consistently funny than the "Greatest Hit" compilation. This is essential Cheech and Chong.

HELLA FUNNY!,
This review is from: Cheech & Chong (Audio CD)
This album is some of the funniest s--t I've ever heard! My favorite part is the long session of Pedro & Man watching TV. If you like real comedy(and even if you don't!) buy this album!
