"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."

[–] teuast@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I use this one frequently. That and "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole."

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

“Shut the fuck up Donnie. You’re out of your element.”

[–] Gordon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie

[–] handofdumb@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I dunno my favorite, but my most used in daily conversation is…

“Careful, man - there’s a beverage here!”

[–] urda@lebowski.social 21 points 2 years ago

"The Dude abides"

[–] coolkicks@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

“I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man.”

He’s not wrong.

[–] jrbaconcheese@yall.theatl.social 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It really brought the whole room together

[–] tram1@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Fuck, the "Did it not" is so good as well!

[–] DryToast@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're being very undude, dude

[–] KingGordon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Calmer than you are.

I love how the dude uses phrases that he picks up earlier in the film.

"This aggression will not stand"

"You mean, coitus?"

There are a bunch more but those 2 immediately spring to mind.

[–] teft@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"in the parlance of our time" gets a repeat. The Dude never actually has an original thought except once: when he says that Bunny kidnapped herself.

That's fantastic.

"Look, nothing is fucked, here, man."

"Nothing is fucked? The god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!"

[–] urda@lebowski.social 2 points 2 years ago

Oh dude this is such a good one.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

The Stranger: Do you have to use so many cuss words?

The Dude: What the fuck you talking about?

Also:

Walter: Smokey, this is not 'Nam, this is bowling. There are rules.

One more:

Walter: Am I wrong?

The Dude: You're not wrong Walter; you're just an asshole.

[–] teft@startrek.website 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Always make me laugh.

Second place is when the cop beans his mug off The Dude's face.

Stay out of Malibu, Lebowski! Stay out of Malibu, deadbeat! Keep your ugly fuckin' goldbrickin' ass out of my beach community.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.

Ow! Fucking fascist!

[–] urda@lebowski.social 3 points 2 years ago

teft, please.

[–] karlhungus@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Too many to choose a favourite off the top of my head:

  • Brother Seamus? Like an Irish monk?
  • Yeah, yeah, I get it, fuck off Da Fino. And stay away from my special - from my fucking lady friend, man!
[–] urda@lebowski.social 3 points 2 years ago

It's ok to have more than one, I should have said that :o

And those are great.

[–] tram1@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

If I spoke English I would use special lady and lady friend all the time!!!

Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.

[–] elseif@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago

You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.

[–] ikiru@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago

Nihilists? Fuck me... Say what you will about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

[–] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

This is what happens, Larry, when you find a stranger in the Alps.

Or something sounding like that. Something similar.

[–] qjkxbmwvz@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

New shit has come to light!

[–] nullPointer@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

"I'm finishing my coffee"

[–] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Calmer than you are

[–] tram1@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

-You know, he's got emotional problems, man.

-You mean... beyond pacifism?

-He's fragile. Very fragile.

-Huh... I did not know that.

[–] tram1@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Also:

-Are these guys gonna hurt us Walter?

-No Donny, these men are cowards.

[–] tram1@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Last one:

Oh man, my thinking about this case had become very uptight.

[–] Crul@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

"Obviously, you're not a golfer"

"It's down there somewhere, let me take another look"

"You said it, man. Nobody fucks with The Jesus."
