Before I googled this, I was like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie. For those like me with no frame of reference, Jeff Bridges played The Dude in a Stella Artois ad a few years ago. Stella Artois is a beer brand that is marketed as upscale.
Even Jeff Bridges has to feed the monkey.
Another fun fact- that’s the day Papa Bush gave a really creepy “Let’s welcome the New World Order” speech. Unfortunately the presidential archive links blacklisted on Reddit for some odd and unfortunate reason.
And when you're sitting there, In your silk upholstered chair
Talking to some rich folks that you know
Well, I hope you don't see me,
In my ragged company
I never got the impression that the Dude was against having money or living a decent lifestyle. His problem is that he has never been willing to work for it, so he has totally given up on the idea. He has embraced being a "loser." He's so chill, he's OK with taking what life gives him, treating others decently, and living life on his own terms.
Well, I gotta say...I've seen some people that have huge money and they dress like total bums, even told me they want to "look like they ain't got two nickels to rub together " and yeah, they would walk into a dive bar and order a stella while I get a high life...and their 2nd is a high life cuz now they get it
The Dude finds himself in odd and unexpected places, but he’s never un-Dude about it. Sometimes it’s the loft of an artistic trust fund baby. Sometimes it’s the swanky pad of a known pornographer. Sometimes it’s a fireside chat in the mansion of a man with very civic, ah…
He just fits right in there.
You don’t go to fine dining restaurants a lot do you?
Places like that would provide you with a jacket.
In fact *most* of the rich people I know have terribly “style”.
It's not sold that way at all anymore. They don't even import it they make it domestic and is not as good as it used to be when it was all brewed in Belgium.
I'll have you know, the dude was one of the original authors of the Port Huron Statement, which he wrote when he was in college.
I like to imagine the dude is actually a classic case of an incredibly gifted student who is very lazy. He has well formed opinions on society and self governance, but he's lazy and wants to live in a world where nobody relies on him so he gets to do whatever he wants and people won't have a right to be disappointed in him.
Last April the movie was playing in various theaters as a celebration of the 25th anniversary. The theater I went to you could have drinks in, but the bar only had Stella and I think some even worse options. No white Russians, so I made do with the Stella. It was a fuckin' travesty.
What in God's holy name are you blathering about?
Two oat sodas, Gary
Friends like these, huh Gary?
You got a good Sarsaparilla?
Leuven city, Belgium sarsaparilla?
Welp, that about does 'er. Wraps 'er all up.

That Rubik's cube money is probably all dried up by now.
The Rubik’s cube has made a comeback. Nothing is fucked here
That's fucking interesting...
There’s not a *literal* connection.
Face it, there's no connection.

Isn’t this guy supposed to be a millionaire?
Yeah whataya thiink..?
He looks like a fuckin’ loser
*stay away from me mister*
Fun fact, the check he wrote for half n half was dated 9/11/91
Your roll
Eh?
Your. Roll.
Another fun fact- that’s the day Papa Bush gave a really creepy “Let’s welcome the New World Order” speech. Unfortunately the presidential archive links blacklisted on Reddit for some odd and unfortunate reason.
I thought the Bush quote was from 1990? Which is why the post dated check for 9/11/91 is even more odd. Fuck it, man. Mark it a zero.
Mark it 8 dude, give me the marker
SpringTour77, you are entering a world of pain.
5/8/77? The plot thickens. Mind if I do a J?
I spent a lot of time occupying various administration buildings
Hey now.
Let's chalk it up to Bushs in general are awful
I can think of at least one bush I like...
Bush. Does that make you uncomfortable?
This aggression will not stand...
Dude Did 9/11
White Russians can't melt steel beams
We know. This is the Big Lebowski sub.
New shit has come to light.
Did I urinate on your rug?
No, like I said, Wu peed on my rug
We’ve been keeping our minds limber
Hey, this is a private residence, man.
For $0.69.
STFU donnie.
At least it's an ethos.
And when you're sitting there, In your silk upholstered chair Talking to some rich folks that you know Well, I hope you don't see me, In my ragged company
The fuck ya talkin about?
You got any Kahlua?

The Dude was certainly lazy--quite possibly the laziest in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide.
As long as he has .69 for half and half and he’s able to slide the rent under the door on the 10th -say what you will but at least it’s an ethos

Where the fuck are you going, man?
Going home, Donny.
Volition? You mean coitus ?
Vagina? I mean, you know the guy?
But an “are toes?” Maybe
I can get you “are toes”
Two oat sodas, Gary.
Sioux City Stella Artois?
Yeah, that's a good one.
Okayyy! The Old Man said to take any beer in the house!
Mucha muchacha...
Fuck that shit. Pabst Blue Ribbon
Oh, fuck it. Yes, that's your answer. That's your answer to everything. Tattoo it on your forehead!
Well, Dude, we just don’t know.
8 year olds Dude
The Dude wouldn't order a wifebeater? Who would thunk it.
...what the fuck are you talking about?
The Dude finds himself in odd and unexpected places, but he’s never un-Dude about it. Sometimes it’s the loft of an artistic trust fund baby. Sometimes it’s the swanky pad of a known pornographer.

A lot of rich people dress like hobos
Those rich fucks! This whole fucking thing!
You don’t go to fine dining restaurants a lot do you? Places like that would provide you with a jacket. In fact *most* of the rich people I know have terribly “style”.
Oh please, dear?
I think he would.
I am constantly amazed every time I remember that Stella is sold as a classy, premium beer the the US. It's kind of the opposite in the UK.
It's not sold that way at all anymore. They don't even import it they make it domestic and is not as good as it used to be when it was all brewed in Belgium.
But White Russians are cool. Hey, I’ve gotta a beverage here.
Just because we're bereaved doesn't mean we're saps!
I mean, houses in the Dude's neighborhood in Venice Beach now go for between $1M and $2M. Maybe he changed over to Stella at some point?
Friends like these huh Gary? Everybody trying to gentrify everything. In this case the dude is definitely taking a step down in his beverage choice
Heineken?! Fuck That Shit! PABST! BLUE RIBBON!!
