What's your favorite Big Lebowski quote or phrase? - Lebowski.Social

Let’s hear it from the achievers.

“Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”
That’s mine too. The dudiest way to diffuse the situation lol
I use this one frequently. Tgat and “you’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.”
You’re being very undude, dude
It really brought the whole room together

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

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

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.

I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.
“Shut the fuck up Donnie. You’re out of your element.”
You’re like a child who wanders into the middle of a movie
God damnit. John Goodman's delivery on those lines kills me every time.

“I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man.”

He’s not wrong.

I am the walrus?
Why Donnie interrupted the conversation with "I am the walrus?" (The Big Lebowski)

Rewatching the dude's movie once again, and I got fixed on Donnie's interruption and wondered if it had a deeper meaning. Now, the most obvious...

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!
If I spoke English I would use special lady and lady friend all the time!!!
"He fixes the cable?"

The Dude : Look, nothing is fucked, here, man.

The Big Lebowski : Nothing is fucked?

The Big Lebowski : The god damn plane has crashed into the mountain!

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 I hose 2 immediately spring to mind.

“in the parlance of our time” gets a repeat.

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.

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

"Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please."

This line always gets me. The juxtaposition of an unhinged PTSD riddled veteran who went to Nam but of all things is still careful to be mindful not to let those prejudice influence him is great.

later in the same dialogue, Walter refers to him as the Chinaman again 😆

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

Or something sounding like that. Something similar.

You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.
New shit has come to light!
“I’m finishing my coffee”
Calmer than you are

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

-You mean… beyond pacifism?

-He’s fragile. Very fragile.

-Huh… I did not know that.

Also:

-Are these guys gonna hurt us Walter?

-No Donny, these men are cowards.

Last one:

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

“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.”
