20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Big Lebowski

One of the most-quoted lines from The Big Lebowski has to do with the Dude's beloved rug that has unfortunately been soiled. As it turns out, though, it's also one of the most-quoted lines in The Big Lebowski, as well. According to our count, the Dude's precious rug is mentioned no fewer than 17 times throughout the film's two hours.

On top of this, it seems characters can't help but mention how well the rug tied the whole room together: there are five separate asides that bring this up over the course of the film. These totals explain why fans of the film love to quote these lines — It's as if the movie wants you to remember that rug more than anything else.
