In certain social situations people may offer you a cigarette, but nobody ever offers a smoke AND a pancake. Those two things don't really go together and that is why is is funny. Can you imagine if Austin Powers takes him up on the offer. He's smoking a cigarette, asking for a light and asking for someone to pass the maple syrup at the same time? Hilarious! ROFLMAO!
Originally used by Mike Myers in "Austin Powers: Goldmember" as a joke about Dutch people. The whole movie (for whatever reason) is riddled with anti-Dutch jokes. This phrase was intended to highlight two of the popular stereotypes of Holland: marijuana and sweet confections. There really is no deeper meaning other than to play on these stereotypes. Since the release of the movie, the term has gained popularity as a general reference to marijuana use, and the "munchies" that may follow.

Yeah, and why does the crazy boy in 'Cabin Fever' keep shouting "Pancakes! Pancakes!"??? Is there a connection?
Oh, sorry, I'm asking instead of answering...lol
