The Dude’s Bathtoys

Posted by SendTobacco@reddit | lebowski | View on Reddit | 57 comments

We can all imagine the dude gripping the nub of a J in his tub surrounded by candles and soaking away in his Mr. Bubbles bath foam, but what are we supposed to think of his bathtoys?… In the bath scene he has not one, but two rubber duckies on the ledge of his tub and, ironically, a Scrubbing Bubbles squeaky toy.

Kudos to the Coen Bros for the historical accuracy of the Scrubbing Bubbles toy, but isn’t it strange that the Dude would have a product tie in toy for a product he devoutly refuses to use? What’s going on with these ducks and the Scrubbing Bubble? Do they face off in naval battles in the Dude’s pink bathtub? Who is on whose side? Does the Dude let them take turns winning? Or does he just get elevated on ganja and squeak out tunes with his rubber ensemble?

We just don’t know, Dudes.
