The film's title became a minor pop culture saying, and was commonly reworked in various pop cultural contexts during the 2000s . </P> <P> Jesse and Chester awaken with hangovers and no memory of the previous night . The television is on, showing an Animal Planet program about how animals use twigs and rocks as tools to get food . Their refrigerator is filled with containers of chocolate pudding, and the answering machine contains an angry message from their twin girlfriends Wilma and Wanda as to their whereabouts . They emerge from their home to find Jesse's car missing, and with it their girlfriends' first - anniversary presents .

The duo begins retracing their steps in an attempt to discover where they left the car . Along the way, they encounter a transgender stripper, a belligerent speaker box operator at a Chinese restaurant's drive - through, two appropriately - worded tattoos they discover on each other's backs, UFO cultists led by Zoltan (who later hold the twins hostage), a Cantonese - speaking Chinese tailor, the Zen - minded Nelson and his cannabis - loving dog, the attractive Christie Boner, the aggressive jock Tommy (who is the boyfriend of Christie) and his friends, a couple of hard - nosed police detectives, and a reclusive French ostrich farmer named Pierre . They also meet two groups of aliens, one group being five gorgeous women, the other being two Norwegian men, searching for the "Continuum Transfunctioner"; a mysterious and powerful device, capable of destroying the universe, that the boys accidentally picked up last night . </P>
