About
The Circle is a way for the creators to showcase a vital component of the '70s – smoking weed. According to the show creators, the blunt or joint is passed around ahead of the person speaking on camera, thus never shown. The circle usually takes place in the basement and features four people, though these rules are bent on occasion. On special occasions, the circle has been used to show the characters partaking in consuming other things than weed, such as dinner, alcohol, ice cream, cigars, hash brownies (accidentally) or nothing at all. During such scenes, adults also participate.
On occasion, the circle scenes are followed by scenes where the characters act sober while being still high, but more often that not, no one seems to suffer any ill effects after the fact. A notable case was the second-to-last episode where a particularly potent "stash" was acquired by the gang when Fez's friend from his homeland visited. Hyde, who was unquestionably the most frequent pot smoker in The Circle, actually quit smoking for a period of time because he got too high.
The Circle also remained in the '90s and '2000s, where the gang would still smoke and occasionally drink.
Rules
The circle is not:
An area where people can talk about their feelings.
A place where people can cry.
For the faint of heart.
A place where people can grope each other.
But it is:
Where laughing occurs.
Where random stuff is discussed.
Where some of the dumbest decisions are made.
Very candid.
One of the most well-known elements of the show.
A place to sing random songs.
