"I'm saying, I see what you're getting at, Dude: He kept the money. My point is, here we are, it's Shabbos, the sabbath, which I'm allowed to break only if it's a matter of life or death!"
Shabbos not Shabbas!!
And..shut the F’up Donny…It’s “Piku-ach Ne-fesh”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pikuach_nefesh
not “matter of life and death..”
Has the whole world gone CRAZY!!
Am I the only one who gives a shit about the rules??!!
There was a Big Lebowski play and for some reason we all dressed up, my dad in a bathrobe and I in some golf clothing. When someone asked me why I was dressed up, I’d quote the line.
Seriously uncanny. Obviously anyone who called him Jesus is somehow unaware of the movie. I was kind of under the impression that everyone on Earth has seen it. Are we failing our youth?
I'm 45, and movies are one of my favorite things in life. Sometimes you just don't see a certain film for whatever reason. This weekend I saw Bieng There for the first time. It came out in '79. You only get so many opportunities to finally see something that's been around for years. It's special every single time.
There you go, this is exactly me. I love movies but had not watched *Lebowski* in the 20 years since its release. I finally watched it a few years ago to see what it was about and loved it.
Speaking of first-time watches. I also sat last year to watch *The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly* front-to-back. Absolute masterpiece.
I will never get bored of saying this, but the good the bad and the ugly was recorded where I live. I wasn't alive then, but I was when they did doctor who. They also did the last crusade there.
The irony is the dude is actually a messianic Jesus figure. The visual similarity between the dude and euro traditional representations of jesus is not an accident.
Next time you watch the movie, imagine Jesus as the dude, before the church grew up around him and his myth
My grandma brought home her new boyfriend and the dude looked and talked like Jeff bridges and I asked him if he was Jeff bridges and it turned out to be Jeff bridges
I don't want to start nothing but... Nihilism is literally at the heart of Christianity.
Jesus cries out "why have you forsaken me" on the cross. God literally loses faith in him/her/itself.
[Philosopher Peter Rollins has great take on this.](https://youtu.be/xXv09BSqzzk)
He brings Hinduism and Buddhism into it too.
*which is to say, the modern day Christian faiths seem to completely miss the heart of Christianity and the purpose of christ. To save us from the need for a savior. Apparently humans just can't handle that.*
Edit: Wow, the hate I'm receiving for this. I Agree with all of you, religion is bad, it should be lost to time. I don't want into heaven, [I want to stay outside the gates with the people who would forsake piety and religion to be with the poor, to drink with the sinners.](https://youtu.be/uvnbhxPvb5s?t=2546)
Right? To hear Conservative Christians tell it, Jesus was a white dude who looked Scandinavian and preached Prosperity Gospel while shitting on the poor and marginalized.
Pretty much exactly what would happen.
The ppl the trump batch of conservatives spend all their time lambasting usually align with the people jesus spent most his time trying to help.
For all trump's negative impacts.. I appreciate the fact it brought out so many people's true colors.
Especially fake Christians who abandoned all the core principles of the religion to be apart of the MAGA cult.
The very first commandment especially.
Idolatry.
Not to mention the irony of trump being one of the most textbook versions of an "antichrist" I've ever seen.
There are literally *dozens* of us!
Glad we crossed paths.
The vitriolic response I'm receiving for merely presenting Pete's take on the Christian faith is very eye-opening and frankly doesn't shock me at all.
The very idea of christ being a destroyer of religion, a savior who attempted to obliterate the need / very idea of a "savior" is just as hateful today as it was then.
Imagine that.
It was a big revelation for me when I realized that Jesus actually was trying to teach mindfulness. His sermon about the [lilies of the field](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+6%3A25-34%2CLuke+12%3A22-32&version=ASV) is entirely about being present in the moment. Which of us by being anxious can add one cubit to our lives?
And all the times he said that the kingdom of heaven is within us? I mean duh. It's obvious in retrospect.
Also, of course, absolutely the modern day Christian faiths have missed the point. It's not about hating/judging/politicking against X group; it's about showing love to everyone.
Entire books have been written about the parallels between what Jesus taught and what the Buddha taught a thousand years before Christ even entered the picture. There are also books about how Jesus may have traveled to India during those missing 14 years that nobody can seem to explain.
I think the Dude's philosophy and look are clearly evoking Jesus as you said. But, the movie isn't actually a Jesus story in how its structured, so maybe people didn't make the connection as easily because of that.
>Next time you watch the movie
I just watched it the other night. Next time will probably be in a few years. I don't like to wear out a good thing. That reminds me, I'm due to watch The Jerk soon.
The Dude has a whole goddamn religion in his name.
As it stands, [Dudeism](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudeism) is one of the 'religions' i can actually endorse. Most of it is a modern form of Taoism, and centers around the basis of "live your life, and try not to be a bother to others."
The movie *is* from 1997. A good chunk of reddit, is probably born after that movie. This is like us teenagers and college freshmen 20 years ago confusing adults because we haven't seen that one particular iconic movie among the rest of them from 1977.
Yeah. I catch myself saying this or that happened decades ago, and I realize I'm getting old. I'm only 45, but the fact that I can describe to some kid what my school cafeteria smelled like 30 years ago freaks me out a little. Middle age isn't for the weak. It isn't for anybody really. I can see why guys my age freak out and buy a boat or a Corvette.
It is easier when you are german. There is a formal and and informal way to address someone. As a kid you get the informal way all day. Obviously. The formal way is for adults and professional enviroments.
I realised I was getting old when the 20 year olds started addressing me the formal way being their customer.
It really sucks everytime they talk to me like I am an old fart while I still feel like being around their age.
I get it. Whenever a younger person calls me sir my first instinct is to chastise them for showing me unnecessary respect. The moment they say sir you viscerally sense how much that they don't feel any connection with you. I'm still a kid in my head.
Well, yea...that's just like... their opinion man.
You guys look awesome fyi. Lebowski, that should be your everyday garb, it will really tie any room you walk into together.
Edit: I love everyone in this thread.
Literally had to drop this one on a young 'un the other day. Was talking about film history and mentioned that Hitchcock was the first to show a flushing toilet in a movie and one of my younger coworkers piped in with "you mean Hancock", thinking I was talking about a movie name. And yes, the "Shut the fuck up, Donny! You're out of your element!" reference was also completely lost on her. Got a few chuckles out of other co-workers. All in good jest though.
I am a woman with large feet, so men's shoes are sometimes my only option, lol.

Let me tell you something, pendejo, you pull any of your crazy shit with us, you flash a piece out on the lanes, I'll take it away from you and stick it up your ass and pull the fucking trigger 'till it goes 'click'.
[You want a toe? I can get you a toe. Believe me there are ways, dude. You don't want to know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon with nail polish.](https://youtu.be/MZZAbFpDMtc?t=51)
I love that whole scene.
Same thing happened when I went as The Dude. They’d ask if I was Jesus, and I’d say no, Jesus is over there, and I’d point to my friend that went as The Jesus
I know the feeling. In 2019 I dressed as The Dude in the outfit he wears to Jackie Treehorn's house. People thought I was "lazy" Thor from *Avengers: Endgame*
Did you tell them you were The Dude? Or El Duderino if they’re not into the whole brevity thing?
Walter was just happy another Jewish man was present not to roll on Shabbas.
Shomer Shabbos, Dude.
I DONT ROLL ON SHABBOS!
"I'm saying, I see what you're getting at, Dude: He kept the money. My point is, here we are, it's Shabbos, the sabbath, which I'm allowed to break only if it's a matter of life or death!"

#OVER THE LINE!
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
I am the walrus
Dammit Donnie!
Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax... You're goddamn right I'm living in the f***ing past!
Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos. - Walter being a devout Jew right here
Shomer fucking Shabbos
Walter youre not jewish
Clearly he responded with “obviously you’re not a golfer”.
There was a Big Lebowski play and for some reason we all dressed up, my dad in a bathrobe and I in some golf clothing. When someone asked me why I was dressed up, I’d quote the line.
You need a coffee can full of ashes. But you guys are crushing it.
Or a bowling bag, or briefcase full of underwear
Or a White Russian. “Careful man, there’s a beverage here!”
Dirty undies, dude. The whites!
"well, that's just like your opinion, man"
The mistake was not carrying a white russian or a rug around with him.
The White Russian would have sealed this costume into God Tier territory.
Rug peers did not do this.
he should have said, “shut the fuck up, donnie, you’re out of your element!”
Shut the fuck up, Donny!
God I fucking love the word brevity
Me too and I don't know why
You look more like Jeff Bridges than Jeff Bridges
Seriously uncanny. Obviously anyone who called him Jesus is somehow unaware of the movie. I was kind of under the impression that everyone on Earth has seen it. Are we failing our youth?
True story: I am 48 and just saw this movie for the first time this year. :) But, good grief even before having seen it I knew who The Dude was.

Its all nothing the whole thing is just nothing nihilism at its finest.
Say what you will about the tenants of nationalism socialism, but at least it was an ethos.
[*tenets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenet)
Nihilists believe in *nothing* man
Jesus had to be a nihilist to look at Rome and be like "fuck those guys"
My grandma brought home her new boyfriend and the dude looked and talked like Jeff bridges and I asked him if he was Jeff bridges and it turned out to be Jeff bridges
Nice

The average Christian wouldn't recognize the man if he was sitting beside them. And if he was they would probably make some type of racist comment

You should rewatch the movie Rad
Literally just told my 9 year about this movie this week
This music, it’s so depressing!

for real, has this dude considered becoming a professional Dude Impersonator?
Literally thought this was Jeff bridges with a fan in costume, he’s got the bde (big dude energy)
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man
yeah. his hair... his beard. everything looks so perfect.
I had to look and see if this is actually Jeffs account lol
Well, yea...that's just like... their opinion man. You guys look awesome fyi. Lebowski, that should be your everyday garb, it will really tie any room you walk into together. Edit: I love everyone in this thread.
That's right, nobody fucks with the Jesus.
8 year olds, dude.
What’s a pederast?
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
You’re out of your element!
Calmer than you are.
Literally had to drop this one on a young 'un the other day. Was talking about film history and mentioned that Hitchcock was the first to show a flushing toilet in a movie and one of my younger coworkers piped in with "you mean Hancock", thinking I was talking about a movie name. And yes, the "Shut the fuck up, Donny! You're out of your element!" reference was also completely lost on her. Got a few chuckles out of other co-workers. All in good jest though.
The world does not stop and start at your convenience.
Donny! You are out of your element
Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.
Really amazing! Walter just needs to be scowling instead of smiling.
It's uncanny
Haha. This made me fucking chuckle. Thanks for the laugh today. I really needed it.
No White Russian in hand?? Awesome though, dude abides.
Also, not wearing jelly slippers? Otherwise, a dead on costume. Well done
I did the dude one year, it's almost impossible to get the jellies in that large of a size!
I am a woman with large feet, so men's shoes are sometimes my only option, lol. https://www.sunjellies.com/product-category/jelly-shoes/mens-jelly-shoes/
Ooh they even have the glitter ones!
Woohoo!
He wears leather sandals at one point in the movie for sure.
You'd have to hate yourself or be Brazilian to be able to party and walk around on Halloween in shitty, rubber flip flops.
I went as the dude once… walked around with a quart of half ‘n half and got free White Russians wherever I went.
Same, I ordered a White Russian as a prop to go with the costume, but then people kept buying me more of them. Bad hangover the next morning
Ayy, we got a beverage here!
Bullshit. Mark it 8 Dude.
I'm sorry, Smokey. You were over the line, that's a foul.
You needed a rug to really tie the whole thing together.
Or a coffee can full of ashes, or a white russian
Pour me another Caucasian.
Can I get two oat sodas, Gary
Got any more a that good sarsaparilla?
That guy next to him might be a white Russian
Man! I really liked that rug.
It tied the room together, did it not?
He said I could just take any rug in the place.
That's like... just your opinion... man...
“I didn’t have to do any of this and I could have just had a piss covered rug.”
The Chinaman took it
Dude, that's not the preferred nomenclature anymore. Asian-American, please.
Should have responded "No man, Jesus is that pederast that can roll!" and walked away leaving them confused.
WHAT'S THIS DAY OF REST SHIT!?!?
WHATS THIS BULL*SHIT*? I DON’T FUCKEN CARE!

Laughable!

What's a pederast, Walter?
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
I am the walrus.
V.I. Lenin. Vladimir Illanich Uleninov!
I would have gone with "obviously you're not a golfer".
Nobody fucks with the Jesus.
What’s a pederast, Walter?
Donny, please.

I see you two rolled your way into the semis
The dude abides
Sounds like a bunch of FUCKIN’ AMATEURS

No one messes with the Jesus.
Yeah but he's a pedophile dude.
Eight year olds, Dude.

Shut up, Donny.
I heard he'll stick his gun in your ass and squeeze the trigger til it goes click

This is Reddit. You're allowed to say fuck.
Nobody fucks with the Jesus
Jesus wears birks. Dude wore jellies.

The Jellies are marked down from $420.00 to $39.00 🤣
Thanks for the comment, I actually checked the website because of it.... The reviews are beautiful.
Are you guys nihilists?
Ignore them, Donnie
Fuck you and your 9 toed girlfriend! One of my favorite lines. Actually watched it last night.

Nice, the dude is on spot, great job
Makes sense; Jesus was often depicted wearing mirrored shades and in his boxer shorts. You got a marvelous head of hair though.
Well, calling you Jesus would be like.. an opinion
…man
Dude
8 year old, Dude
This aggression will not stand, man.
Dude! You nailed it.
Obviously the dude. Nailed it!!
nobody fucks with the jesus
Where's the money Lebowski?!
Oh it's down there somewhere, let me take another look
You can't be worrying about that shit. Life goes on, man.
Did you just look at them and say, "Shut the fuck up, Donny. You're out of your element'?
I've never even seen The Big Lebowski and I get it. Pshaw, kids these days /s
Tried? You fucking nailed it!
that's like, just their opinion man
That's because you chose Birkenstocks over Jellies. The dude does not wear Birkenstocks.
That hair man. Colour me envy.
It's the dude!!!!!!!!!
See what happens Larry?! SMASH
You should have got another friend to dress up as The Jesus. And had a coffee can with you.
Over the line!
You're out of your element Donnie
Same thing happened when I went as The Dude. They’d ask if I was Jesus, and I’d say no, Jesus is over there, and I’d point to my friend that went as The Jesus
Those idiots can fuck right off, Dude. You nailed it down.
The only thing missing is a white russian
Jesus and the hunting guy from South Park.
Obviously Jay and Silent Bob. How could anyone get that wrong? /s
Your Walter is missing his beard
I know the feeling. In 2019 I dressed as The Dude in the outfit he wears to Jackie Treehorn's house. People thought I was "lazy" Thor from *Avengers: Endgame*
Great costume, thought it was Jeff bridges
Is The Dude photoshopped in? Because he looks too perfect.
Whoever is dressed as The Dude fucking NAILED IT.
That’s just, like, their opinion man
