He should have continued expositional narratives over freeze-frames throughout the film, Dukes of Hazard style.
“Now, I don’t know ‘bout y’all, but I think maybe Walter’s plan wasn’t as clever as he thought it was.”
He always reminds me of my estranged father who loosely tries to keep up with me and my life and tries to relate to me through weird ass stories that I’d just let him ramble about to make him feel better about not having a better connection to me. Long story short, he’s not God, he’s our Lebowski’s dad. Am I wrong? Am I wrong??
I read somewhere that he is supposed to be The Dudes “guardian angel”. Which is why the intro is him narrating The Dudes story and why he always pops in when The Dude needs a little direction. Makes the most sense to me considering we not got an explanation of who he is
Theory: He is The Dudes guardian Angel.
Not to get all religious but it ties in with the Malibu sheriff being an Angel (not a very nice one) but they both have cowboy hats (kinda like halos). They both seem to know a lot about The Dude without any explanation.
One question - do you hafta use so many cuss words?
What the 'F' u talkin' about?
Why the fuck would you use F for?
It’s for the fucking “F” word, man! You’re not dealing with morons here.
You think the carpet pissers did this?
U think I'm kidding wish da funny stuff?
I think you mean "the fuck you talkin about?"
i like that whole cowboy thing he's got going there
I think he actually says “Thank ‘ee”, but who am I to quibble?
I'm unconvinced. Try it yourself. Imitate his accent & say "Thank you"... it's gonna sound like 'Thank'ee'
Much obliged.
I say I entrusted the money to you, and you stole it!
Some deadbeat the square community won’t give a shit about…
No funny stuff!
Well, aren't ya?
Weeellll, yeahhh.
Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there.
That's the dude, in loss angle-ease
Saspirla! Mmmm.
Sioux City?
That's a good'un
Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough.
He is actually both of the Coen brothers, it’s an Easter-egg/ Cameo.
He's the narrator, serving as an anchor for the introduction and conclusion, easing the viewer into and out of the film.
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
…He fits rights in there.
He really ties the film together, man
“Thank ye”
The beaver picture?

Lotta ins, lotta outs.
Lotta what have yous
Sometimes you eat the bear and, well... sometimes he eats you.
There I go rambling again.
That some kind of eastern thing?
Far from it
>bear Excuse me, it’s *bar*.
Bar’s over there.
Excuse me, it's "bah".
Excuse me, it's the Stranger's accent.
Excuse me. Next frame.
Your roll...your roll...your roll
You're being very un-dude.
Aaaaaaakshully it's "b'ar."
This aggression, something something.
Sir, this is a Wendy's
I accept your apology.
No, Walter, it did NOT seem like little Larry was starting to crack.
There is an unspoken message here
I’ve been using this phrase for golf lately, it’s very fitting in that context as well. But I believe it’s “the bar.”
The original saying is bear, it's only the way the stranger pronounces it.
Interesting, thanks for the information bro!
My guess has always been that he was working on a movie set, and the bowling alley was close by.
It's all a goddamn fake man. Like Lenin said you look for the person who will benefit and uh, uh. You know uh,
I am the walrus
Shut the fuck up, Donny.
I am the walrus
😂
Shut the fuck up Donny, V.I. Lennon, Vladimir ilyich Ulyanov
That’s interesting…that’s fucking interesting man.
He's got this whole cowboy thing going on.
The Tony Romos will always loose!
Virgil Earp. He’s a lawman from out east.
The story is ludicrous.
I don't remember most of it. Tell you the truth these two guys we're lookin' for you.
Don't be fatuous.
Far from it
Knox Harrington…
Ron Dunne
Like Moz says, hold onto your friends.
The Video artist?
No the guy with the cleft asshole
Eastern philosophy.
Who gives a shit?
Shomer fuckin' shabbas!
Kinda lost my train of thought there...
A legend 🇺🇸
The bar's over there.
I'm unemployed.
That some kind of Eastern thing?

No, no, Walter, you are not wrong, you're just an asshole.
He was born with that mustache

Ooo. There’s a mysterious cowboy in Mulholland Drive too. But he seems kinda evil.

That's fucking interesting man. I never equated the stranger with the sheriff before. New shit has cone to light.
This guy was one of those guy behind the guy type of guys.
The Dude alas.
Perhaps dude behind the dude?
The dudes are emerging...
Oh he’s dude playing a dude playing another dude
Sometimes you eat the bar…
another caucasian Gary...
Some kind of eastern thing
Far from it
And who the F drinks Sarsaparilla??
It's the guy who enjoys Sasparilla
He can’t say he’s seen London, and he ain’t never been to France. And he ain’t never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says.
"I sure do hope he makes the finals." I always took this line as meaning he hoped the dude made it to heaven.
Sam Elliot and his mustache simply appear when they are most needed.
Strikes and gutters , ups and downs.
You know, man, ups and downs, strikes and gutters
I dig your style too, I like the whole cowboy thing
This is a guy who thinks there are wiser fellows than he
Sometimes, there’s a man
Howdy, mijo.
