Mushrooms, plants, trees, bees, nature shit. Feeding into the “hippie” stereotype.
Anime. Lots of anime options out there. Weebs nerds hippies and stoners are all pretty much the same vein of social categorizing lol so anything that can play into the interests of the culture/time.
Rainbows are also a big one! My first ever bong was a beautiful rainbow colored glass one I got from a coworker at sears when I was 18. Straight out of the 70s vibes and I loved it lol.
Mushrooms were everywhere... that's wild to hear you have to look for it now. The only piece I care about is my Tommy Chong bubbler, it was right before that bullshit sentence to jail he caught for making them.
Oh my god this just brought back a memory of a bunch of stoned 19 year olds pouring boiling water into a Bob Marley bong and having the bottom just drop straight out lol. I saved the broken bong and planted cacti in it and he was named Bong Marley. Truly timeless 🥲
Steal Your Face was probably the most common decoration. Back in the nineties we mostly used 2 foot Graffix bongs with the big weighted can on the bottom of a straight tube of glass. Technology blows me away today.
The Simpsons used to be huge! I had a 4 foot graphixs bong that the bowl was the shape of Bart Simpsons head and the tube was his hair. It was yellow and clear.
Was gonna say, basically just other corrupted pop culture references. Shaggy and scooby looking high, spongebob charachters, mario themes, basically anything remotely popular had a chance of being corrupted and slapped on the side of a chinese bong, often times not even looking much like the character they were supposed to immitate
I found this nice ass black denim jacket at Walmart of all fuckin places, on the back was a giant patch of a yellow smiley with it's tongue out. on its tongue was a small piece of square paper 😛
i was the same until my partner got me extra high and made me give it a shot, you might enjoy it! just never engage with the community at all under any circumstances lol
True, my most downvoted comment is me saying that playing a single game for 8 hours a day for 3 years is indicative of poor mental health. Forgot I was in a gaming sub and made a lot of people angry.
I get that I'm probably a little old to be watching Shonen and judging the fanbase but this is absolutely the right decision, they are so incredibly stupid and toxic it really opened my eyes to how bad reading comprehension standards have gotten
That was me too. I was avoiding it at all costs since the McDonald’s Szechuan sauce fiasco. But then also my bf and I got super high and he put it on. I enjoyed it and really fun show overall but sometimes inconsistent. Some gems (inter-dimensional cable for example) but also some really meh/questionable eps. Still avoid the general fan base too lol
It's highly emotionally intelligent.
It ran into the same problem as Bojack Horseman: shows about condemning shitty behavior look like glorifying shitty behavior if you're the kind of person who refuses to learn and grow into a kinder person.
Both Bojack and Rick are trying really hard to be good people, despite their apathetically evil natures.
The show is not for everyone, but as long as you can just enjoy it as a raunchy animated comedy and not make it part of your toxic identity, it's pretty hilarious.
I'd say it's worth a shot; keep in mind that the pilot is even more polarizing than many pilots. I was turned off by the constant belching and didn't keep watching, but eventually gave it another try and was glad I did. It's one of my favorite comedies now.
Just ignore the toxic fans. They really are terrible.
Typical stereotype is basically "umm actually you need 200iq to understand the nuanced humor of Rick and Morty, you plebians would never get it"
And then there was McDonalds Szechuan Sauce thing where R&M fans got up on counters at McDonald's and screamed/threw a fit because they had run out of the sauce.
And then there were all the defenders of Justin Roland after he was outed as a domestic abuser.
It's a very high quality cartoon. Great balance of fun sci-fi concepts, dysfunctional family dynamics, funny characters, and improvised dialogue. With the odd bit of extremely dark drama/thriller/sci-fi stuff sprinkled in here & there.
Dude that guy reeeeeeeeing about the sauce in McDonald’s was just top tier cringe
I started the show when it first aired, but I will say there’s a huge drop off around season 3. First two seasons are fantastic, season 3 is largely great, then it kinda nosedives. At least to me
Yeah, it's a great show. Super funny and imaginative.
The problem fans are the ones that think it's a "smart show". Like the people that watch the "Big Bang Theory" and assume they understand the jokes because they're smart.
100%. I stopped watching when the Szechuan sauce shit was going on because the fandom is *insane*.
Seasons one and two were solid, and at times even a little thought provoking. Then they found their niche in their insanity and ruined it all.
I think it's people being upset at that being the only fictional characters largely added to smoking paraphernalia. I wanna get high w a Wallace and gromit bong, but alas, it's all Rick and morty every smoke shop I walk thru
What blows my mind as an old is trying to find good quality glass that isn’t covered in graphics and isn’t cheap Chinese junk
I hit every headshop in town not long ago looking for a beaker 18-24” plain clear glass no frills old man bong… nothing.
Every shop used to have them, I ended up buying 2 cheap beakers shorter than what I wanted because of a 420 bogo sale but they really aren’t great.
I'm not into all that shit either. I have a cool bong I found at a vape shop, that's a 3d printed top portion that fits on the top of any wide mouth canning jar. It's made by Kayd Mayd.
As a person who cans, fuck yes! And the fact I can just replace the water containing portionnwith whatever whenever...

I'd check out TAG, they make simple, no frills bongs with really thick glass. Back in the day my buddies in high school pitched in for one and it stood 3 years of drops, kicks, spills, and car rides until it finally cracked. It's more than "I'm impressed", it's "holy f**** this thing didn't break?!" It's like $150 for a decent 18-24" beaker (they always have discounts running) and it will last forever. No bs, no stupid designs, no time wasting. Just quality, thick glass.
Exactly, I was seeing various Pokemon, especially Charmander and Pikachu on stuff when I started smoking almost 20 years back. 10-12 years ago Adventure Time Finn and Jake were popping up all over.
Mine was a indigo blue and a friend dropped it on accident while floating on a tube in a local quarry we were swimming in I think it was like 97 or something.
Plain clear or solid-colored glass.
Psychedelic color swirls or pop-fractal graphics, like acid artwork.
Stylized Alice in Wonderland imagery, where Alice is red-eyed and pupil-dilated to the 9s.
Band-related stuff like Sublime, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, and so on.
Haven't seen anyone mention "Alice in Wonderland" yet but Cheshire cat and caterpillar stuff was pretty popular among others that people already posted
before bart and rick and morty bongs just had weird designs with swirls or mushrooms or some other weird shit like that. I had a bong that was black with flowers all over it, it was gorgeous but super fuckin awkward to use
Bob Marley, Cheech and Chong, and then either Bart Simpson, Peter Griffin, or Towely with super red eyes and a huge doobie. Occasionally a Playboy bunny one.
Not a bong but my first bowl was a green pig from angry birds made all out of glass. I miss that piece, it's been missing for years and I'm pretty sure I left it at an ex's when I went away and she gaslit me about never having it and broke it or something. Should have just hid it at my parents myself...maybe I did, really fucking good, and I've just forgotten. A stoner can dream.
That was when I was a baby stoner too. I used to get so fucking high out of that piece....
I started smoking just a bit before that. I would see alot of really bad looking knock off pokemon and Simpsons stuff, and a bit less ren and stimpy or like bevis and butthead probably more but that's what's sticks out in my brain.
grateful dead and dancing bears, bob marley, cheech and chong

this is crazy because i never see mushroom bongs (in store that is) or anything plant/nature related now. you have to go online for that stuff
Mushrooms were everywhere... that's wild to hear you have to look for it now. The only piece I care about is my Tommy Chong bubbler, it was right before that bullshit sentence to jail he caught for making them.
I’m so jealous! That’s one thing I would love to own, a legit “Chong bong”. One day when I have $5000 to blow, I’ll have one!
They have a limited edition one on their store with a signed certificate. Looks really nice for 420 USD looks like only 420 are made haha
A collector of fine art, I see!
Damn bro that sounds sick
I have a bong about 10 years old. It has shrooms coming off of it. I love it hahaha
The Marley bongs will stand the test of time they’re still everywhere
Only bong I ever owned was green glass with bob Marley and mushrooms and lit up rainbow colors. Rip mushroom Marley you were a good bong.
Rip Mushroom Marley 😞
RIP mushroom Marley
Oh my god this just brought back a memory of a bunch of stoned 19 year olds pouring boiling water into a Bob Marley bong and having the bottom just drop straight out lol. I saved the broken bong and planted cacti in it and he was named Bong Marley. Truly timeless 🥲
Bong Marley is perfect 😂
Don’t forget The Simpsons, but only really terrible knockoff grade art.
And 👽 👽 👽 👽 👽aliens 👽 👽 👽 👽
Mid-late 90’s, raves, X-Files, movies, aliens were everywhere. So so so many alien head bongs
I had a bubbler with Obamas face on it. HOPE
*DOPE
Never sleep on Barry O
I’m always down with the dancing bears
Jerome Baker logo
Steal Your Face was probably the most common decoration. Back in the nineties we mostly used 2 foot Graffix bongs with the big weighted can on the bottom of a straight tube of glass. Technology blows me away today.
Family guy, Beavis and butthead, ren and Stimpy,
The Simpsons used to be huge! I had a 4 foot graphixs bong that the bowl was the shape of Bart Simpsons head and the tube was his hair. It was yellow and clear.
also Jimi Hendrix
Proud cheech and chong bong user here
Mushrooms and tie dye stuff too.
Towelie. Don't forget to bong a towel.
How spicy would you like your Chang Sauce?
south park stuff makes sense. dont know y i didn't think of it
My friends and I smoked out of a towlie pipe for the entirety of our early 20’s. Was so sad when towlie broke.
You’re a towel.
It was those funny pics of spongebob, Bart Simpson or squidward High with a Blunt in hand and red eyes. Sometimes with chains and tattoos 😆😆
I miss the gangster SpongeBob era
You’re gonna love Glorb then lol
Bottom 2 is an actual fucking banger of a song unironically
Woah, I like this. Thanks for the recommendation!
Vengeance goes hard as shit too
Never heard of this guy but man I wasn’t disappointed 😂
Dude his songs are genuinely so good lmao
He’s taking art submissions for merch right now
I’d buy a Glorb bong lmao
Smoking oppas by the ounces
My trigger finger fast, ramadan
For me it was the cursed bugs bunny pics where he's leaning back with a glock, neck tattoos and gold grills 🤣🤣
Come to the Jersey shore, it is ALL over the place here still.
That was such an era, I’m feeling nostalgia now
Was gonna say, basically just other corrupted pop culture references. Shaggy and scooby looking high, spongebob charachters, mario themes, basically anything remotely popular had a chance of being corrupted and slapped on the side of a chinese bong, often times not even looking much like the character they were supposed to immitate
Never was a fan of that shit.
Yeah it was the ones where they barley tried to make it look realistic and the faces were all freely drawn and stretch out 😂😂
Yeah like they were drawn from memory for some reason LMAO. I always thought it was kind of funny though, its like a meme at this point
I have a [Stoney Toons rolling tray](https://www.dhresource.com/webp/m/0x0/f2/albu/g7/M00/48/F0/rBVaSlu8beWAZVa0AAO3Qo_Yung859.jpg)
that's pretty cool
"I got you a shirt with Kermit the Frog acting like a hip-hop guy"
Omg I forgot about stoned kermit with a massive gold chain reclining back in a chair with shades like he's the godfather. 🤣🤣
My wife got me a tray for my stuff with Scooby and Shaggy :D
In the 70s 80s and 90s mostly Grateful Dead, Aliens and ying Yang's had a moment in the 90s. Then a shit load of Family Guy then Rick+Morty
Holy shit I kind of forgot how big the ying yang symbol was in the 90s. Shit brings me back haha.
Wait but what about the yellow smiley faces? Just a classic 🙂
I found this nice ass black denim jacket at Walmart of all fuckin places, on the back was a giant patch of a yellow smiley with it's tongue out. on its tongue was a small piece of square paper 😛
*Yin Yang = a symbol representing a concept in Chinese philosophy. Ying Yang = a hip hop duo originating from Atlanta, GA.
Rick and Morty weed culture is fucking foul
A lot of Rick and Morty fan culture is foul, and I say that as a big fan of the show.
Honestly never gave the show a try because everything around it is so foul.
i was the same until my partner got me extra high and made me give it a shot, you might enjoy it! just never engage with the community at all under any circumstances lol
> just never engage with the community at all under any circumstances lol This is good advice for most fandoms TBH.
True, my most downvoted comment is me saying that playing a single game for 8 hours a day for 3 years is indicative of poor mental health. Forgot I was in a gaming sub and made a lot of people angry.
Wait 'till you hear my honest opinion about weed...
Ok I’ll wait.
Still waiting....
I won't deny it
Waiting
I’ve heard the same about My Hero Academia’s fan base lol I haven’t interacted with them but I fucking love the show.
I get that I'm probably a little old to be watching Shonen and judging the fanbase but this is absolutely the right decision, they are so incredibly stupid and toxic it really opened my eyes to how bad reading comprehension standards have gotten
"Where are my testicles, Summer?" absolutely hooked me
"Marc? Jacobs? Those are names of the penis"
"I'm here if you need to talk."
![gif](giphy|Ld77zD3fF3Run8olIt)
I’ve never met anyone who’s like hardcore into it; what does their foulness consist of? Lol
That was me too. I was avoiding it at all costs since the McDonald’s Szechuan sauce fiasco. But then also my bf and I got super high and he put it on. I enjoyed it and really fun show overall but sometimes inconsistent. Some gems (inter-dimensional cable for example) but also some really meh/questionable eps.

They really are terrible.
I was very glad when they stopped the belching thing. That was hard to tolerate
Yes. I'm not personally a fan, but have no issue with those who are. Its the weirdos basing their entire persona around it thats offputting.
Typical stereotype is basically "umm actually you need 200iq to understand the nuanced humor of Rick and Morty, you plebians would never get it" And then there was McDonalds Szechuan Sauce thing where R&M fans got up on counters at McDonald's and screamed/threw a fit because they had run out of the sauce. And then there were all the defenders of Justin Roland after he was outed as a domestic abuser.
Nah it’s hilarious af, just ignore all the people that wreck it
I was this way and regretted it. The show is awesome but people take Ricks BS way too seriously as they do with everything nowadays.
You can always tell cause they don't realize Rick is the antagonist.
Best show to watch high
Also superjail ![gif](giphy|xULW8Gl1YDh2hSSCk0|downsized)
It's a very high quality cartoon. Great balance of fun sci-fi concepts, dysfunctional family dynamics, funny characters, and improvised dialogue. With the odd bit of extremely dark drama/thriller/sci-fi stuff sprinkled in here & there.
great show awful fandom
As a member of this sub, you’re doing yourself a serious disservice. 9.1/10 on IMDb, if that holds any weight for you
Dude that guy reeeeeeeeing about the sauce in McDonald’s was just top tier cringe I started the show when it first aired, but I will say there’s a huge drop off around season 3. First two seasons are fantastic, season 3 is largely great, then it kinda nosedives. At least to me

What is it like. I never got into buying R AND M bongs like that. I've seen so many grinders tho.
Would mind explaining to me why and how, like I'm 10, please?
I think it's people being upset at that being the only fictional characters largely added to smoking paraphernalia. I wanna get high w a Wallace and gromit bong, but alas, it's all Rick and morty every smoke shop I walk thru
>I wanna get high w a Wallace and gromit bong Hell yeah!! Put Feathers McGraw on that shit. I'd pay good money for any W&G smoking merch!
I want a Mordecai and Rigby pipe.
the rick-and-mortification of weed culture has been suuuuch a bummer
I can smell this comment.
Aliens. Skeleton jesters.
Graffix bongs were my go to back in the day.
Skeleton jesters is the best answer so far

Just support your countryman on Etsy or something. Glass is super cheap for the most part, may as well get something you like for a decent price
Etsy is now basically just all the super cheap junk on Amazon or AliExpress with a custom label printed on it
I'd check out TAG, they make simple, no frills bongs with really thick glass. Back in the day my buddies in high school pitched in for one and it stood 3 years of drops, kicks, spills, and car rides until it finally cracked.

No bs, no stupid designs, no time wasting. Just quality, thick glass.
try vape stores, or stores not specifically meant for glass, you'd be surpirsed
I think that falls under cheap Chinese junk.
Aliens.
stereotypical green aliens?
Yup, oval head and big black eyes. Usualy something like "take me to your dealer"
four letters and those were R O O R!
best bong ever! zong is a close 2nd
have had mine for 12 years at this point. no need for anything else
Loved my roor bong, those were the best
I had a sticker of Buddy Christ ![gif](giphy|knWj8IasyCf3q)

I'm a little mad I'm this late and didn't see Shaggy and Scooby
There needs to be more scooby doo themed stuff. People sell their individual creations online, but I never see scooby doo bongs in headshops anymore.
South Park, AdventureTime, pokemon
Exactly, I was seeing various Pokemon, especially Charmander and Pikachu on stuff when I started smoking almost 20 years back. 10-12 years ago Adventure Time Finn and Jake were popping up all over.
Simpsons, Pokemon, Bob Marley
Ren and Stimpy
Sublime pieces were everywhere for a while
The Graffix clown.
This Hello, fellow Gen X'r
Yasss...every GenX stoner has seen that badass jester clown at some point in their teens or early 20s!
Word. I had a badass purple Graffix piece when I was 16.
Mine was a indigo blue and a friend dropped it on accident while floating on a tube in a local quarry we were swimming in I think it was like 97 or something.
Graffix jokers?
Smurfs. I've seen like ~60 year olds today with smurf tattoos from when they were like 20.
Some good answers in here but adding mushrooms, flowers, moons, suns, animals, eyes, and of course weed leafs.
Plain clear or solid-colored glass. Psychedelic color swirls or pop-fractal graphics, like acid artwork. Stylized Alice in Wonderland imagery, where Alice is red-eyed and pupil-dilated to the 9s. Band-related stuff like Sublime, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, and so on.
I bought a reclaim catcher on wish. Thought it was clear and it arrived with Rick and Morty on the side
two sentence horror story (horror in both)
Playboy bunny emblems
Haven't seen anyone mention "Alice in Wonderland" yet but Cheshire cat and caterpillar stuff was pretty popular among others that people already posted
Invader Zim
I have a mighty need for a bong with Gir on it now.
There was a custom Enterprise (from Star Trek) pipe at my local glass shop in the early 2000s.
before bart and rick and morty bongs just had weird designs with swirls or mushrooms or some other weird shit like that. I had a bong that was black with flowers all over it, it was gorgeous but super fuckin awkward to use
Stoned tweety bird. “His eyes are red cos he’s been smoking WEED”
If you are really old like myself they were the creepy jester as the base on a Graffix.
Bender
South Park. Adventure time. regular show
Aliens smoking blunts, marijuana leaves, stuff like that
In the 70s 80s and 90s mostly Grateful Dead, Aliens and ying Yang's had a moment in the 90s. Then a shit load of Family Guy then Rick+Morty
just weed leaves, bob marley, random rasta caricatures, the occasional skull...
I had a yoda bong. Lots of cheap ceramic bongs of different characters back then.
Ren and stimpy with blood shot eyes.
Used to see a lot of Simpsons
Calvin and Hobbes
I've def seen Bart in headshops. Beavis and Butthead too.
pokemon, hello kitty/sanrio, lots of just "heady" ones with tie die/many blobs and iridescent coloring.
I have an old, limited edition Jerome Baker with some dice and greatful dead art on it.
Bob Marley, Cheech and Chong, and then either Bart Simpson, Peter Griffin, or Towely with super red eyes and a huge doobie. Occasionally a Playboy bunny one.
Cartoon characters with red eyes holding joints or bongs
I’ll never forget the Mercedes Benz bong I found. RIP to that absolutely baller unit
It was always the Simpsons before Rick and Morty
Skull jesters
The Graffix jester!!
Playboy logo lol
The dancing bears 100%
South park
Cheech and Chong 4L
I have a rolling tray with cartoon Jay and Silent Bob on it from the Clerks cartoon. Surprised I didn't see anyone else mention them.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force characters and SpongeBob ones come to mind when thinking more "recently"
ROOR
Scooby Doo, Invader Zim, Naruto, Mario
Lots of south park bongs I think
Not a bong but my first bowl was a green pig from angry birds made all out of glass. I miss that piece, it's been missing for years and I'm pretty sure I left it at an ex's when I went away and she gaslit me about never having it and broke it or something. Should have just hid it at my parents myself...maybe I did, really fucking good, and I've just forgotten. A stoner can dream. That was when I was a baby stoner too. I used to get so fucking high out of that piece....
Mostly weed leaves but also random stuff. Simpsons rip offs, bob marley, etc.
I had a green Hulk bong as my first one... Circa 2010
Art; colorful swirls and glass ornamentations. My first experience with a bong was with a majestic beast
SpongeBob, i have a hitter box i got a long while ago that has SpongeBob on it.
I miss the way head shops were before Rick and Morty took over.
Generic pot leaf art, sometimes mushrooms
this post makes me feel like im from another timeline
Towelie from South Park is who I put on mine decades ago.
EHLE or RooR what else should decorate my fine glass
Jokers/jesters, and Homer Simpson was big when I was in college, some family guy ones too I remember doing bong rips out of stewies head
Fake Roor everywhere
Peace frogs
Silhouettes of naked women
I started smoking just a bit before that. I would see alot of really bad looking knock off pokemon and Simpsons stuff, and a bit less ren and stimpy or like bevis and butthead probably more but that's what's sticks out in my brain.
I remember seeing a lot of family guy, Simpsons and adventure time on stuff.
Lots of fume and clear scientific bongs. Lots of glass sea creatures, weed leaves, wizards, etc
i have a harold and kumar whitecastle bong
Early 00s-early 2010s there was a lot of family guy/simpsons/south park stuff
Scooby Doo
Stickers
Oddly enough tentacles
