I've watched this like 10 times now, and it never fails to amuse me. That music is awesome.
I bought two shirts.
The one where they meet Future Trey and solve the mystery of his long-lost girlfriend's death was amazing. Although he never revealed what happened to Tokes after the "incident" in the future.
My favorite episode was when they sent Tokes undercover at a Juvenile Correctional Facility to bust a drug ring. Tokes gets too deep into the job and starts to morally question everything he's done. He starts drinking heavily to cope and there's a powerful scene where Tokes silently cries while "Can't Find My Way Home," plays.
Mine was the episode where Tokes got caught up undercover at the dwarf colony and had to organize the talent show while planning his escape.
I love all of this. Took me out of my bad day and gave me a reason to smile. ![]()
Oh here we go, my favorite episode of Tokes and Stokes was when in the cold open, Tokes and Stokes pull over a speeding sedan and find that the driver had actually stolen plans for a top secret missile that could wipe out an entire city.
Later, a young officer named Rick Nichols reports to Lt. John LeGarre for assignment with a martial arts group named "Force Seven". Shortly, the Force Seven group gets an assignment to recover a stolen missile. We learn that Rick is actually a black belt in Tae Kwon Do AND Karate. Lt. LeGarre (played by former Oakland Raider Fred Dryer) gives Rick his new uniform and tells him that Force Seven doesn't use guns. He is introduced to the rest of the team: Officers Cindy Davis and "Sly" Angeletti (and Sly's puppet "YinYang"). Rick bristles at the thought of having to work with a team, but as he explained earlier, he has nowhere else to go.
Before we know it, the Force Seven team is sneaking into a warehouse looking for clues. Angelleti asks what's so special about Rick. LeGarre suspects that he posses "chi," and is capable of great things. When Rick makes some noise, they're discovered and have to escape. That night, they try again (their Force Seven Uniforms are reversible Ninja outfits, you see) and are discovered again. They fight the employees and win. After the victory, an old friend of LeGarre, named Nakura (JOnathon Rhys-Davies), appears and captures them. After the Force Seven members escape, Nakura sets his plan into action and arms his stolen missile.
Nakura sends a taped message to the mayor and threatens to use the missile unless his demands are met. By examining the stars in the background of the videotape, Force Seven figures out where Nakura is hiding his missile.
The next morning, the Force Seven team sneaks into Nakura's compound using some pretty nifty martial arts skills. With 15 seconds to spare, they get Nakura to tell them the abort code of 666.
After the commercial, Nakura realizes that the warhead's armed to go off in one minute. Rick uses his magic Chi powers to disarm the warhead just before it detonates.
Later, at Central, the Chief meets Tokes and Stokes in the hallway and congratulates them for discovering the confidential papers which led the police to "the crazy" with the missile.
In all seriousness, I've said so privately, but this is outstanding work. It's things like this that make me proud to be part of this community.
The episode where Stokes went for a colonoscopy and it turned out Tokes was acting undercover as the doctor was a laugh a minute.
("McPkank" might be the funniest thing I've ever seen.)
Can I just say that I love that the surname of McPkAnk has survived this long?
My only regret is that Zarban's amazing song didn't fit the buddy cop theme.
I always loved the episode where Stokes and Tokes visit New York and Stokes falls in love with Joan Collins until Tokes runs her over...
