"Life is about movies; anything else is a bonus!"- Me   

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 bad, that was actually my favorite episode of 21 Jump Street and instead of Tokes it was Johnny Depp.

My favorite episode of Tokes and Stokes was when Tokes shot that one guy and chief was all, "Badge and gun, Tokes!" and Tokes slams his gun down but removes the bullets first and is all "You can have the gun...the bullets are MINE!"

SHIT, that was an episode of Hunter.  Give me a minute on this guys....

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 puppet was notoriously difficult to work with on set (not the least reason being the Tokes performers were, shall we say, "method" actors), and this scene was particularly infamous for taking nearly two weeks to shoot. According to the tell-all I AM STOKES, this incident was the last straw that led Herb Voland (Captain McPkank) to demand his character be written out of the show.

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.

There are times when I'm convinced you wrote for SNL.
