If it wasn’t Penn as Jeff Spicoli I’m guessing he at least got it into the mainstream but was this voice and mannerism done somewhere before that?

One of the most detestable characters in cinema, in my book.

To answer the thread I wouldn’t be surprised if it could be traced back to the 1960s. Possibly later 50’s when surfing in CA worked its way into Hollywood culture.

maybe Doobie Gillis ( actor that played Gilligan) was an early archetype of this character

Before he got into surfing, and dropped acid, he was good at baseball and air hockey!

The 60’s surfer movies usually had an idiot character who may or may not have had some drug induced brain damage.
