Pineapple Express Funniest Moments Ranked

Usually, plots are tied up with a nice big bow of character growth, resulting in positive changes in the way the heroes approach their lives. "Pineapple Express" pokes fun at this trope in the final scene, by giving the appearance that Dale goes on to pursue his passion and become a talk radio host. When the scene cuts to Dale, however, he is still freshly wounded from their escapades, and sitting in a diner with Saul and their newfound enemy-turned-friend, Red, played by the hilarious Danny McBride. 

As it turns out, Denton was only pretending to be a radio host, and the fact this trope gets flipped on its head somehow makes this reveal refreshing, as well as funny. The besties rehash all the highlights from the movie, and share some serious bromance moments. Saul even spoon feeds Red, and the trio share a hand-touching moment after Dale says, "We became friends along the way, and we learned some stuff about life too." 

After releasing each other's hands, Red slumps over with his eyes closed, and it appears as though he's succumbed to the many wounds he incurred during the course of the film. This movie doesn't allow itself to get that serious, however, and he re-awakens after gentle prodding from Dale and Saul. Then, Saul's beloved bubbie arrives to pick them up, played by firecracker Connie Sawyer, who tells them they smell like poop — only using a much more colorful word. What a sweet lady!
