I'm a big fan of the "funnier every time you see it" movie, but I just don't get the obsession with this film.
To what sort of sense of humor does this appeal? I have friends that absolutely love this flick and I'd love to understand it.
Edit: I do find the "don't berkeley with the Jesus" line quite funny though.
So you have no frame of reference. You're like a child who wanders in in the middle of a film....

Don't get me wrong, I definitely think parts of it ARE FUNNY.
What I don't get is the mad obsession over this film that it seems like EVERYONE has, like it's one big insider joke. I know some heads too, but they think everything is funny so they aren't good to ask.
I like to quote movies all the time, but when people start quoting this one I feel like a real-life thread-killer.
If someone has already used "this agression will not stand, man", the hackey-sack gets to me and just dies.
Also, Dude, "Chinaman" is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

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.

So, racially, he's pretty cool?
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.
Obviously you're not a golfer.
