I threw it on for a quick laugh, and I was struck with a few parallels to Trailer Park Boys. Besides the protagonist being a low-life who drinks and smokes all the time, this 1998 comedy came out right before the black and white Trailer Park Boys debut in 1999.
First off is the shit-mobile. We'll gradually see the Dude's car turn into a pile of garbage, just like Ricky's.
Then, we have the Roadhouse connection. We have Jackie Treehorn (who treats objects like women, man) and Sam Elliott in this movie, both from Roadhouse. Roadhouse obviously features Patrick Swayze, aka Julian. Sexy Julian...
Also, the Dude answers a question with, "Did the pope shit in the woods?", and Ricky is known for his "Rickyisms" (him fucking up common phrases), saying, "Does a bear shit on the pope?"
Then, the Dude is being hassled, trying not to spill his White Russian, "Careful man! There's a beverage here!". Julian (not Patrick Swayze) is a man known to never spill his drink... or be seen without it.
Just drawing parallels and shooting the shit. Anybody a fan of either of these?
