It is an age-old question that remains unanswered. While the presence of cocaine is most definitely absent from the list of ingredients, the same can be said for a <strong>Coen Brothers<\/strong> comedy flick. Their comedy just works, it feels right, it sends those penetrative tickles deep into your stomach and nothing else is quite like it, but that formula, like that of Coke\u2019s, is one which is steeped in mystery, and often has you questioning why it&#8217;s so good.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: mid intro! --> <strong>Ethan Coen<\/strong> and <strong>Joel Coen<\/strong> have been making comedies since the 80s, and while some of the best Coen Brothers films are very serious, most have a quirky streak of humor running through them, and some are just flat-out laugh-out-loud comedies; the genre is simply one of the heavy guns in their armory.

Many of us have mentally stored quotes and quirks from the 1998 movie, from \u201cthe Dude abides\u201d to \u201cjust take it easy, man;\u201d most high school and college kids are indebted to the filmmaking brothers in that way. Yet, <em>The Big Lebowski <\/em>was a monumental flop at the box office when it was released 24 years ago, and only really amassed a following as one of the best cult classics of the &#8217;90s thereafter, though by now it&#8217;s essentially in the mainstream (which it helped define).<br \/>\n John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, and Jeff Bridges expertly play the bowling trio of Walter, Donnie, and the Dude respectively. <em>The Big Lebowski<\/em> masters the tremendous art of storytelling, and follows the hazy hedonism of protagonist The Dude, as he inadvertently becomes embroiled in a kidnapping scandal that goes from bad to worse while his two friends come along for the ride. White Russians, army war veterans who seem incapable of stringing a sentence together without shouting, the funniest nihilists in movies, and a sense of peculiarity all delightfully enrich the discombobulating world of the ever-confused the Dude. <em>The Big Lebowski<\/em> is arguably the funniest Coen Brothers movie, if not one of their best ever.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #6! -->        <\/p>\n<p>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            <!-- No winning ad found for zone: above next button! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"next-btn-img\">\n<div class=\"bc-img responsive-img img-article-next-btn\">\n<figure>\n        <picture>\n            <!--[if IE 9]>\n            <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"320px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fargo-frances-mcdormand.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=320&amp;h=240&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"140px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/fargo-frances-mcdormand.jpeg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=140&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n                            <img width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"fargo-frances-mcdormand\"\/>\n                    <\/picture>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"next-btn-text lines-trim\">\n            Fargo: Is The Coen Brothers&#8217; Movie Based on a True Story?\n                    <\/div>\n<p>        Read Next<\/p>\n<p>                                                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below next button! --><br \/>\n        <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below sharing options! --><\/p>\n<p>    About The Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-article-author-bio\">\n<div class=\"author-bio-text\">\n<p>            <strong class=\"bio-title\">Patrick Hayes<br \/>\n                                    <span class=\"amount\">(16 Articles Published)<\/span><br \/>\n                            <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>                            More<br \/>\n                    From Patrick Hayes\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>                <!-- No winning ad found for zone: below the author! --><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
