dizzing Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 i'm sure there have been threads about this kind of thing before, but i just had to make this one because i was watching TV land this morning and saw hookahs in TWO shows. one was an episode of bonanza, this guy who had traveled the world had one in his room. the other was in i dream of jeannie - major healey ended up smoking one for a second (to his chagrin) as a result of one of jeannie's bungled attempts at... something. i honestly wasn't paying attention until i heard the word hookah and looked up at the TV :)anyway, just thought it was strange to see hookahs , something that never gets a lot of TV airtime to begin with, popping up on old TV land reruns.any other sightings of hookahs on TV lately? it seems like these things run in cycles, when you see one on TV they pop up all over the place for a little while and fade out. probably some weird quantum physics thing related to human consciousness, as near as i can figure, but the exact mechanics of that are still a mystery to me (and modern science) if you're interested in weird phenomena such as that, check out[url="http://noosphere.princeton.edu/"]http://noosphere.princeton.eduand this neat paper i found,Evolutionary Quantum Computationalso, if you have a lot of time and brainpower to waste into reading stuff like that and want to read some earlier writings on consciousness from a more subjective perspective, check outMacintosh HD:Desktop Folder:Psychedelic Individual:contentsp.html://http://noosphere.princeton.eduand t...:contentsp.html://http://noosphere.princeton.eduand t...:contentsp.html://http://noosphere.princeton.eduand t...:contentsp.html://http://noosphere.princeton.eduand t...:contentsp.html://http://noosphere.princeton.eduand t...:contentsp.html[/url](its just a book in HTML) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashman19 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Wow, its really funny that you posted this thread...Just last week I was watching The Simpsons in the afternoon after my classes, and there was the episode where Apu was having an affair with the squishy lady, and in one of his day-dreamings, he is laying on a couch, smoking a HUGE hookah, and blowing an "O". Oddly enough, I was smoking my hookah while watching it... I screamed, "HOOKAH!!" as I pointed at the tv to my friend as we were smoking, and I choked on the lung full I had in my throat... Good times.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JByer323 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Disney's Aladdin has hookahs in it, as I recall.If any of you have ever read The Jungle Books, Rudyard Kipling mentions them often, and the version I have depicts them on the cover as well.

Sonthert Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Also, Scary Movie 3 and Penn and Teller's Bullsh1t!, the episode on, something regarding smoking, Teller was smoking a cigarette, Penn pulled it away and threw it to the ground and then Teller twisted his hand and another cigarette appeared! Penn pulled it chucked it again and again Teller produced another cigarette. Then a pipe and even a cigar as I remember and as they transitioned to the next scene, Penn said "Oh, I thought you were going to pull a hookah out of your as$." Something like that. Hookah also makes an appearance in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" in the Zen room when Dr. Scott first enters the castle. IMDB also says there is a reference in Raiders of the Lost Ark, which I don;t remember.

surfpico Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I honestly never had seen/heard of a hookah before the first time my friends forced me to go to the hookah lounge in San Antonio with them. I hope I start seeing them on tv.Good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 No, that kind of publicity makes for trendy-ness which brings the jackwaters out of the woodwork. Keep it a cool secret! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Haze Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Had to bring this thead back. Nobody mentioned what is probably the most famous of hookahs in all tv land. Jabba's hookah in Return of the Jedi. I remember correct it was a single hose, with some green sh*t in the base. Smoking some intergalactic ma'assel.

[LB] Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 i was watching the discovery channel and they went to idea and this old guy had this sweet hookah, it was basically a plastic tube hockey taped to a metal jug, with an old hollow drill bit on top, you know what i mean the ones that make circle cuts- as a tbac bowl with a hot coal dashed right in, and he was just slugging away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
