''Dude, Where's My Car?'' is a 2000 comedy film directed by Danny Leiner. It is about the journey of two young men named Jesse and Chester ([[That70sShow Ashton Kutcher]] and [[AmericanPie Seann William Scott]]) to find their stolen car and figure out what happened the night before after waking up with a house full of pudding. It is a stoner film, although technically only one of the film's characters, a dog, is seen smoking marijuana. But they are referred to as stoners, and their alter egos are allegedly Johnny Potsmoker and Smokey McPot, respectively. The shenanigans they get into were also directly related to them being blazed out of their minds.

!! This movie contains examples of:

* ArcWords: The Continuum Transfunctioner is a very mysterious and powerful device.
** And its mystery is only exceeded by its power.
* AerithAndBob: My name is Zarnoff. This is Zabu, Zellner, Zelbor, Zelmina and Jeff." Caption "Jeff".
* AsianRudeness: At a drive through.
** Apparently it's because Chester [[BerserkButton called the Dalai Lama a 'fag']]. If she wasn't rude before, then because of these guys she is now.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever / MakeMyMonsterGrow: Super Hot Giant Alien!
* BilingualBonus: The written name of the Chinese restaurant translates into the phrase "and then".
* BossSubtitles: Again, Super Hot Giant Alien.
* BreastExpansion: The end after the two leads give the alien necklaces to their girlfriends. This uses the FetishFuel ending, where the girls are happy about their increase and no moral is provided. Notably, the necklaces appear to be reusable.
* TheCameo: Fabio.
** And Kristy Swanson.
* ChekhovsGun: Numerous examples. One example is the lifetime supply of pudding the duo find in their cupboard. This helps them decide which group of mysterious strangers are on their side by asking [[spoiler:what they got the night before during a game of mini-golf where they won it]].
* ChekhovsSkill: An extensive knowledge of Animal Planet trivia saves them from a lunatic ostrich rancher and give Chester the idea to press a hard to reach button with a crazy straw.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: "We will now use the power of the Continuum Transfunctioner to banish you to Hoboken, New Jersey."
* DudeWheresOurCar: TropeNamer.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Super Hot Giant Alien is just what you'd expect.
* {{Expy}}: The black chick is like Juanita from ''BillyMadison''. Only difference is that Juanita enjoys teasing Billy for fun while this chick enjoys messing with people for sadistic pleasure.
* FrenchJerk: The ostrich guy.
** Until Chester answers his question correctly. Then he's all smiles, at least with Jesse and Chester. (He's still a jerk with Mark, though).
* FusionDance: The strange stranger chicks into the [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Super Hot Giant Alien]]
* GroinAttack: The hippie's dog bites Tommy's balls for touching his toy.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Super Hot Giant Alien's pink bunny panties.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Jesse and Chester. [[HoYay Or are they?]]
* HumbleGoal: All Jesse and Chester want is to find their car and get the birthday presents for their girlfriends inside.
* ImAHumanitarian: The first thing Super Hot Giant Alien does after [[StealthPun merging and expanding]].
* InsistentTerminology: "We are not guys, we are hot chicks." Technically, they're neither.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Parodied. Jesse and Chester are interrogated by the cops for a crime they didn't commit, but they don't remember anything from the night before. Thinking they're holding out on them, the cops then bring in a dummy, which they "torture" with beatings, pouring hot coffee in its face, and cigarette burns.
-->'''Chester:''' Leave him alone! He doesn't know anything!
* JerkJock: Tommy.
* TheJoyOfX: The title is often parodied.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Zoltan has one that [[OddNameOut Jeff]] plays on electric piano.
* MacGuffin: The Continuum Transfunctioner. And the car, of course. And the briefcase full of money.
* OverlyLongGag: "And theeeeennn...?"
* PantyShot: We see plenty of Super Hot Giant Alien's "big-ass panties".
* RentAZilla: How many stoner flicks do you know that have a Super Hot Giant Alien?
* RuleOfFunny
* SassyBlackWoman: The impound lot attendant.
* StonerFlick
* SwallowedWhole: [[spoiler:Tommy]].
* TitleDrop: About 20 times!
* TooDumbToLive: Jesse and Chester are this, and ''how.'' But they both have occasional flashes of brilliance.
* TrashOfTheTitans: Boy howdy, the beginning of the movie....
* WhatDidIDoLastNight: The movie starts out here and spirals out of control. "Damn you were wasted last night."
* [[WhosOnFirst Who's On First?]]:
--> "Dude, you got a tattoo!"
--> "Sweet, so did you!"
--> "Dude, what does mine say?"
--> "Sweet! What about mine?"
--> "Dude! What does mine say?"
--> "Sweet! What about mine?"
