For me, the comedy lies in the parody of post-modernist fucktards who are too lazy/stupid to come up with their own train of thought, and discards all your arguments with a condescending "That's just your opinion.", with the subtext "and your opinion is wrong while mine is right, and I don't have to explain why."
Not that The Dude thinks that far, of course. He is just intellectually lazy. But he is a man for his time and place.

I actually never understood the appeal of this scene. Maybe I'm stupid and missing something obvious, but what makes this funny? Is it an anti-comedy type thing? As if he's setting up for some great comeback but has nothing?


Yeah, well, it's also the overuse of filler words, such as "like", "uhh", "yeah", "well", "man", "dude" and "fuck", that makes this (and other similar quotes) funny. Having grown up in Southern California, this line like pretty much sums up, you know, like the faults in, uhh, my own accent, man.
Also, as you pointed out Ornthoron, the borrowing of cliche lines from external sources is an important part of the humor, which becomes even more apparent when the Dude hears Bush Sr. on television say, "This will not stand", then later uses the same line in a conversation with the Big Lebowski.
Great flick. Absurd but also very subtle humor.
