* ''{{That 70s Show}}'' is the television version. Due to its airing during prime time on a broadcast network, it's never explicitly stated what activity Eric and company are indulging in, but seriously - ''you'd'' have to be high off ''your'' ass not to figure it out.

to:

* TenaciousD.''TenaciousDInThePickOfDestiny'' (which provides the page image). There's so much weed in the film, to the point where there's even a scene with ''[[TheGuardsMustBeCrazy security guards]]'' smoking it. TenaciousD themselves joke in the commentary that the film's message was that weed is friendship.

* A while back, [[JBridge I]] found a freeware online FPS called ''Celestial Impact''. I jokingly asked if they guy that made the game was a stoner. Apparently, he is.

Also known as THCTheater. A movie about TheStoner, made ''for'' the Stoner. Possibly made '''by''' Stoners, but [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs that can't be proven]], [[WordOfGod unless the creators acknowledge that it was]]. Tend not to be especially plot-driven, and often contain long tangents relating to pop culture. Expect 90% of the humor to be either puerile jokes or humor about doing incredibly stupid stuff thanks to being intoxicated. Basically, SliceOfLife genre for stoners.

* ''Saving Grace'', possibly the most intelligent stoner movie ever made.

* While ''FearAndLoathingInLasVegas'' is about the drug culture of the late 60s and early 70s, it should be considered separately from such films as "Dude, Where's My Car". ''Fear and Loathing'', like the book it adapts, does contain 'stoner humor', but it also provides a criticism of both 'mainstream' American culture and the hippie/drug cultures that opposed it. Of course, this doesn't mean that it ''isn't'' incredibly fun to watch while stoned.

** Adult Swim is rarely seen without this trope. Shows like Superjail and AquaTeenHungerForce are textbook stoner shows. KingOfTheHill and RobotChicken don't seem geared to a stoned audience, but both are totally compatible with one. There is arguably no show on the network, except perhaps MoralOrel, that this trope does not apply to at least a little.
*** This troper enjoys MoralOrel just fine when stoned.

Decades before {{MST3K}}, a substantial entertainment factor was yelling criticism, encouragement etc. at the screen.
