What is the cut-off year of birth for someone to get that one right off.

I'm in my 50's and I got it right away. Both references.

Not sure of the birth year, but the album "Dave" was on came out (I think) in 1972, although it was popular for a long time after that. I'd guess the cut off would be some time in the 60s.

I think he’s going the other way for the cut off. I would guess around 1980ish.

CP--I'd agree for the HAL reference (the film is a classic and is seen by many); not so sure for the second Dave reference. Kind of like Steve Martin with Exc-u-u-u-u-se me; I recall the bit from where it came, but not its replaying over decades (like, e.g., King Tut or wild and crazy guys). But I do concede I may be wrong.

If read in Hal’s voice it not any less creepy.

I was born in the 1940s and I don't get it. Of course there is a lot of American 'culture' I don't get. John Cage and Jackson Pollock for starters. Remakes of Coupling, Men Behaving Badly, and The Office (first couple of tries - then it got better).

Must be Cheech and Chong, the most unfunny people since The Stooges
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Come on Meade, The Three Stooges? I'll admit to having enjoyed Cheech and Chong at times (I had their first two comedy albums), but the Three Stooges are classic comedy.

Classic comedy, but only if one doesn't get tired of slapstick in a hurry.  Twist the nose, bop on the head, elbow in the belly, poke in the eye, slap the face, then rinse and repeat — just rearrange the order of the physical gags, perhaps.  Frankly, the Marx Brothers were better in that they mixed slapstick with clever wordplay and worked with a broader range of material and other persons (such as Margaret Dumont, their quintessential foil) , although the reason for that may be that the Stooges stuck primarily to comedy shorts whereas the Brothers Marx are probably best known for their movies, which required more than being a one-trick pony.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

The first time I ever heard Cheech & Chong was in the very early 1970s when I heard Cheech's story of Santa Claus and His Old Lady playing on the local SF FM station (KSAN). I thought they were pretty funny and also enjoyed their movies. I suppose that probably says more about me than them...

Meade Would not know high culture if it grabbed his nose with a pair of pliers. I bet he can't even do the curly shuffle; what embarrassment on the dance floor.
I expected to be placed in an air force combat position such as security police, forward air control, pararescue or E.O.D. I would have liked dog handler. I had heard about the dog Nemo and was highly impressed. “SFB” is sad I didn’t end up in E.O.D.
