They’ve even each got new friends; in fact, they haven’t even seen each other in two years. However, the two are reunited when a mysterious package arrives at Kumar’s door; it takes the hapless stoner about two minutes to burn down the prize Christmas tree that Maria’s father (Danny Trejo) brought home for the holidays, so the duo are forced to set out on yet another epic journey to find a replacement.

Practically joined at the hip, the two will be going to different schools in the fall and have grandiose plans of losing their virginity and gaining experience so they don't "suck dick at fuckin' pussy" when they hit the post secondary scene. Adding to their troubles is the fact that they don't want to stick just any girl; they want to get with the primary objects of their affections, Becca (Martha MacIsaac) and Jules (Emma Stone). At the zero hour, the boys get their break when Seth brags to Jules that his friend/whipping post, Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) is getting a fake I.D. and can provide booze for her party. Things are looking just magic until the skin and bones Fogell whips out his new identity... 25 year-old McLovin. From Hawaii.
