3	''Creator/CheechAndChong's Next Movie'' (1980) is the second film led by the [[StonersAreFunny Stoner]] [[DoubleActsAndGroups Double Act]]. Cheech and Chong play [[TheDanza Cheech and Chong]], depicted in this universe as being very poor and sloppy. Their personas are not much different from Pedro De Pacas and The Man, the characters they played in ''Film/UpInSmoke'', but they're not doing as great as those characters were doing at the end of that movie. They're seen in this movie stealing gas for a car that isn't even theirs, owned by their irritable neighbor. When Cheech has a hot girlfriend coming to their incredibly run-down (and, in fact, ''condemned'') house, he sends Chong off to hang out with Cheech's Texan oil millionaire cousin, Red [=DeWayne=] ([[ActingForTwo Cheech in a double role]]), who is being kicked out of his hotel room, and has to break back into the room to pick up a duffel bag filled with marijuana. The majority of the movie focuses on Red and Chong, who smoke a lot of weed, party with a rich family (led by Edie and Bob [=McClurg=]), meet [[Creator/PaulReubens Pee Wee Herman]] and get abducted by aliens.

6	!! ''Next Movie'' provides examples of the following tropes:
7
8	* AdamWesting: Paul Reubens plays himself as a JerkAss desk clerk, who reappears in the comedy club as Pee-Wee Herman.
9	* BrickJoke: At the beginning of the movie, Cheech crashes the set of ''Wamba's Revenge'', a ''Series/CharliesAngels''-style movie (featuring Rita Wilson and Creator/ElviraMistressOfTheDark). Later in the movie, he's watching TV while waiting for Donna and the announcer says to stay tuned for ''Wamba's Angels''.
10	* ButtMonkey: Cheech and Chong's anal-retentive next door neighbor.
11	* CallBack: Earlier, Chong fools Cheech with laundry soap, which Cheech thinks is cocaine. At the end, Chong gives Cheech some ''real cocaine'', only it's from outer space and much stronger than normal cocaine.
12	** Also, Donna reappears in ''Nice Dreams'' and ''Things Are Tough All Over''.
13	* TheCameo: Features appearances by numerous comedians, including Rita Wilson, [[Creator/ElviraMistressOfTheDark Cassandra Peterson]], Paul Reubens, Creator/PhilHartman, Michael Winslow and character actress Edie [=McClurg=].
14	* CatchPhrase: For Red, "Holy sheep shit!"
15	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Edie [=McClurg=]'s character. When Red chases her cat around in her house, she responds "I didn't know he could go that high!"
16	* DeathGlare: Chong gives one to Cheech after Cheech suggests that he get a job.
17	* DerangedAnimation: Cheech & Chong are beamed into a spaceship that looks ''exactly'' like a joint.
18	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGqXf-x59Vo Pee Wee Herman is a lot less of a]] ManChild and more of a foul-mouthed {{Jerkass}}. No, not the Desk Clerk -- Pee Wee himself.
19	* EruditeStoner: Chong
20	* {{Expy}}: Red [=DeWayne=] is essentially Cheech's stage character, Red Neck, altered to become Cheech's cousin rather than some random redneck.
21	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: During the scene in the welfare office, you might miss Cheech & Donna having sex in her office because Michael Winslow's in the foreground making funny sound effects. According to Chong's biography, this scene is studied in film schools.
22	* HulkingOut: Cheech does this after Chong returns from the UFO with "space coke" and gives some of it to Cheech.
23	* IncessantMusicMadness: ''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.
24	* NonFatalExplosions: When Chong lights a joint [[TooDumbToLive in a car full of gas fumes]]
25	* ThePornoMancer: Cheech.
26	* StonerFlick
27	* StraightGay: The biker that gives Chong a ride to Red's hotel. The soundtrack plays "Macho Man" by the Village People, and the biker flirts with Chong.
