Erudite Stoner | comment |
There's The Stoner, then there's the Erudite Stoner. What sets this type of stoner apart from other stoners is that they're deeply philosophical, usually very mellow, slow to anger, and a veritable fount of wisdom for the straight, more uptight characters. They can often make references to Buddhist philosophy and modern poetry and literature, especially The Beat Generation writers such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs. Visually, they may be hippie throwbacks, with long hair, tie-dye shirts, bell-bottom jeans, and fringed vests, or they may be up-to-date but casual in their appearance. The one thing they are highly unlikely to be is expensively or meticulously dressed and groomed. Their speech patterns will probably be slow and somewhat rambling, and they will come out with non-sequiturs as often as they produce a gem of wisdom. But the wisdom will always be exactly what another character needed to be told, at the precise moment they need most to hear it. It's possible that this trope is based on classic rock musicians such as The Beatles (especially John Lennon and George Harrison), Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, or Jerry Garcia. In the 1960s, people who used psychedelics to accompany meditation or creativity were sometimes known as mind trippers. Not to be confused with the Cloudcuckoolander, who doesn't require chemical assistance to see the world through some-other-colored glasses, nor the Surfer Dude, who has similar speech patterns or habits but are usually missing the "font of wisdom" part, though the two can overlap. This trope usually results from Higher Understanding Through Drugs. Compare/contrast with Junkie Prophet. Prone to being Sophisticated as Hell, or occasionally having Delusions of Eloquence. Compare Brilliant, but Lazy. |

Leo on That '70s Show (almost all the main characters smoke marijuana, but it was never explicitly shown or referred to by name, except for the smoke.) Bonus for being actually played by a real-life erudite stoner, Tommy Chong. |

Kumar from the Harold & Kumar series. It is hard to notice sometimes since Harold is usually the voice of reason and Kumar generally ends up making things worse for the duo, but for all intents and purposes, the guy's a genius. He has demonstrated enough skill and knowledge to perform life-saving surgery in the first film (even though, in spite of his father's best efforts, he isn't interested in going to medical school), and shows similar skill across the series, applying first aid to Vanessa and again, life-saving surgery on Santa Claus. He also built a smokeless bong, and wrote a love poem about math (which he apparently memorized in its entirety, since he can recite it without fail). Also, true to the trope, he's a huge stoner, even by the standards of these series. | |

While neither character fits the trope perfectly, most of the dialogue between The Dude and Walter in The Big Lebowski is of the erudite stoner variety. The Dude cites Vladimir Lenin, was a political activist in his college years, and has a quick wit and meditative demeanor. Jeff Bridges would also ask The Coen Brothers if the Dude had burned one on the way over before filming a scene. | |

The Orville: The first use of the replicator? The ship's first officer, Kelly Grayson, orders a pot brownie when she believes she's about to have an unwanted visit by her ex-in-laws. Ed (her ex-husband) comments that her choice in strains is very potent. However, her love of cannabis hardly raises an eyebrow in the show's setting (it's treated no differently than alcohol), and it doesn't affect her competency as an officer. | |

Doonesbury's Zonker Harris is probably the second-druggiest character in syndicated comics - his uncle Duke is the first - and he's something of a cloudcuckoolander, but he's brainy as well. Zonker's nephew Zipper is a major pothead and also co-owns a legal pot dispensary with his uncle. |

Zahua from Pillars of Eternity is a thoughtful Warrior Monk, with all the discipline, enlightenment, and intelligence that implies.

The View Askewniverse: Silent Bob - The Trope Namesake fits this beautifully; speaks rarely but shows great wisdom even with few words in all the films he appears in and yes, he and Jay are stoners (if it weren't obvious). Subverted in Clerks II, when they aren't stoners anymore. Interestingly, toward the end, when everyone turns to him expecting advice on the current predicament, he draws a blank. Also in Dogma, it's Bob who inspires Jay's suggestion to petition the Cardinal, making The Metatron note (crediting Jay rather than Bob): |

Ron and Brewis in Attack the Block. Ron is a weed farmer/dealer and lives exactly the lifestyle you'd expect from a man with that job description, but he's also surprisingly intelligent and spends most of his time watching nature documentaries. Brewis, meanwhile, is a college student and a member of Amnesty International who was only in the block in the first place to score some weed from Ron and winds up deducing the aliens' biology and motives by way of those same nature docs. | |

Tyranny has the sage, Lantry. He's a veritable font of knowledge on arcane and historical lore and context, who is often seen scribbling down notes on his skin until he can transfer them to paper later, or sucking on the tip of his pen after jotting something down. And those inks? Various drugs ranging from mild narcotics to synesthesia-inducing hallucinogens, ensuring Lantry is perpetually comfortably numb to whatever horrors Terratus throws his way. | |

Subverted in Clerks II, when they aren't stoners anymore. Interestingly, toward the end, when everyone turns to him expecting advice on the current predicament, he draws a blank. | |

American Dragon: Jake Long has the title character's friend Arthur "Spud" Spudinski, who talks like this (and has some rarely seen Genius Ditz computer skills), though his age and the fact that it's Disney make it unlikely he's actually a stoner. One episode showed that he's just Obfuscating Stupidity so that he can enjoy life and not be stuck in the genius schools. It's both and neither. Spud's good at a lot of things instead of just one, so he's not really a Genius Ditz. His, uh, eccentricities are only sometimes faked, so he's not Obfuscating Stupidity. The whole of his character is best encompassed by zigzagging between those two, Erudite Stoner, and just plain Cloud Cuckoolander. |

Ferris Bueller's Day Off: The stoner (played by Charlie Sheen) that Jean meets at the police station. He nails her problem and is halfway towards nailing her when her mother shows up. Though one might argue that he is more of a tweaker or junkie than a stoner. Charlie Sheen stated that he stayed up for 48 hours to get the look he had for the film - which is not something a stoner is likely to do. Plus Charlie Sheen's drug of choice in real life seems to be coke. | |

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Greece. Okay, he's not a drug user (...probably), but everything else fits. Deeply philosophical? Check. Very mellow and slow to anger? Check (except when Turkey's around). Having a slow, rambling speech pattern? Check. Sounding like a Cloud Cuckoolander as often as dispensing insightful words? Check. Generally unkempt in appearance? Check. This used to be a popular fanon characterization for the Netherlands, due to the country's famous position on drugs. It is mentioned by Finland that he's "into some shady drugs" and he does smoke in a pipe, but so far he has not been seen drugged in-page. |
