=== Tropes associated with Cheech & Chong ===
* [[Berserk Button]]: Cheech on occasion. Unlike the [[Erudite Stoner|perpetually mellow]] Chong. Subverted in ''Things Are Tough All Over'', where both play two sets of characters: their usual personas and [[Hair
* [[Breakaway Pop Hit]]: "Born in East L.A." (a Cheech solo song credited to Cheech & Chong) originally premiered in the video and album ''Get Out Of My Room'', but is better known thanks to being turned into a Cheech solo movie of the same name, which briefly featured the song that it was based on. It's also the only song from the album that the two acknowledge, as they performed a revamped version during their reunion tours (with a salsa interlude to highlight Chong and Shelby's salsa dancing, something they took up as a hobby in the 1990s).
* [[Broken Pedestal]]: [[Frank Zappa]] attended one of Cheech & Chong's performances and left because he hated the duo's stoner humor (due to his strong anti-drug stance). Chong, a huge Zappa fan, was disappointed.
* [[But You Screw One Goat!]]: In the skit, "Hey Margaret", one of the things in the porno movie that Margaret (Chong) is disgusted by is the lead having sex with a dog. Also, in "The Old Man In The Park", where the Old Man (Chong) tells the Punk (Cheech) that the Punk could be his son because "I used to fuck Buffalo. In fact, you look just like your momma."
* [[Camp Gay]]: "[[Star Wars|Queer Wars]]", in which they play lisping, limp-wristed space heroes who shoot at bad guys with dildo guns.
* [[Cool Old Guy|Cool Old Guys]]: Cheech & Chong themselves definitely apply.
Line 92:
* [[Deranged Animation]]: The opening and ending sequences of ''Next Movie'' feature Cheech & Chong being beamed into a spaceship that looks ''exactly'' like a joint. Chong's solo movie ''Far Out Man'' has Chong [[Piss Take Rap|rapping about]] building a theme park where the rides include ''[[Jimi Hendrix]]'s balls and penis''.
* [[Erudite Stoner]]: Chong is designated as the mellow character in a lot of the duo's routines and films. In real life, he actually ''is'' an Erudite Stoner.
* [[Hair
* [[Hulking Out]]: Cheech does this in ''Next Movie'', under the influence of "space coke". Also, Chong as Habib (see above).
* [[Incessant Music Madness]]: ''Next Movie'' features a stoned Chong pretending to be Jimi Hendrix...with his guitar hooked to a ''big'' amplifier. The entire neighborhood quickly knows he's playing, and even Cheech has trouble getting inside to stop him; the sound blasts keep slamming the front door in Cheech's face.
* [[Non
* [[Old Shame]]: Cheech felt this way toward the entire Cheech & Chong filmography when he was trying to establish himself as a serious actor. He also felt that with their formula was getting stale, and that if he continued working with Chong, they would have eventually ended up like [[Abbott and Costello]] and made movies like ''Cheech & Chong Go To Mars''. However, Cheech later reembranced the stoner following that made him famous in the first place, and eventually reconciled with Chong.
* [[Police Are Useless]]: Police are usually portrayed as being highly stupid in their comedy and films.
Line 105:
* [[Stoner Flick]]: Entire filmography, except for ''Things Are Tough All Over'', ''The Corsican Brothers'' and ''Get Out Of My Room''.
* [[Take That]]: Towards the [[George W Bush|Bush]] administration during their reunion tours. Also, [[Ronald Reagan]], when he went into politics.
* [[The Ugly
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Shelby, Chong's wife.
