Clerks
Jay and Silent Bob , the Mallrats fromClerksare back for more trouble as their fresh movieJay and Silent Bob Reboothits theaters this calendar month . It ’s hard to imagine that these character have been around since 1994 . When Kevin Smith created the View - Askewniverse , it was plausibly dubious that these characters would ever come back in any shape or way in 2019 .
When Kevin Smith almost go from a heart attempt last year , he pretty much localise in apparent movement for the fibre to be resurrected . Smith has said in interviews that the film is a culmination of his life ’s work . So , here is every Jay and Silent Bob Appearance , rank , but not includingJay and Silent Bob Reboot .
SCREAM 3 (2000)
This was more of a cameo than anything else . Weirdly enough , it was n’t the first prison term that Jay and Silent Bob were in theScreamuniverse . In the first Scream released in 1996 , a VHS copy ofClerkscan be seen in Stu ’s menage . subsequently on , Wes Craven regress the favour by appearing inJay and Silent Bob Stike Backas one of the many cameos that were in that moving picture .
InScream 3 , It just so happens that Jay and Silent Bob were call Sunrise Studios before they lead into Gale Weathers ( Courteney Cox ) and mistake her for Connie Chung .
FANBOYS (2009)
This is another interesting cameo but it is n’t really Jay and Silent Bob . Both men are more a autotype of their grapheme . The scene take position outside a gas station john where Jay Baruchel ’s character and Kevin Smith are waiting to use it . Jason Mewes comes storming out and says he ’s not conk out to do this anymore . It ’s heavily imply in the scene that Kevin Smith is Jason Mewes ' pimp . Jay Baruchel ’s eccentric just looks on in revulsion at what ’s he ’s witness .
It ’s quite a hilarious scenario and a twisted variation of the Jay and Silent Bob relationship .
THE FLASH (2018)
In the 2018The Flashepisode , Null and Annoyed , while technically not Jay and Silent Bob , it could be said that this is the DC version with them run security guard . While the characters were unknown and moving extra artifacts in a warehouse , it ’s quite clear-cut that this was another edition of them . Since the multiverse exists in DC on TV , there ’s nothing stopping them from doing security guard versions of Jay and Silent Bob .
While not a memorable cameo , it ’s still remarkable that after 25 years , the characters are still well known to the wider hearing . It also help that Kevin Smith direct the episode .
CLERKS: THE ANIMATED SERIES (2000)
This very short - lived animated series had electric potential but did n’t be on beyond 6 episodes . While the show premiered on ABC in 2000 , it was canceled after 2 episodes . While the show did air all 6 episode on Comedy Central , later on , it did n’t maturate beyond that other than set out a particular version DVD handout .
As a serial , it did n’t do much for the characters , but it had the original doer from the film . There is no doubt that it had voltage but likely was before its time . At the same fourth dimension , Jay and Silent Bob were depicted more like good - natured half-wit rather than affable stoners .

CHASING AMY (1997)
Some critics argue that this is Kevin Smith ’s full film , but in terms of sieve time , this is the least amount of metre for Jay and Silent Bob . The moving picture features Ben Affleck ’s fiber who is a comic Word artist and is in making love with Joey Lauren Adams ' fiber .
In a polar aspect , during lunch between Affleck and the duo , Silent Bob imparts some serious wisdom about letting go of a former love because he could n’t deal with her past . The tantrum is in reality very dependable , but the characters seem come off from their usual character . While mature , it does n’t rank high in entertainment value .
MALLRATS (1995)
The 2nd cinema from Kevin Smith felt like a movie that was by the numbers . While this film introduced the audience to a sleazy Ben Affleck and Jason Lee , it felt like a down in the mouth budget , studio apartment - made film . It had all the trappings of a Kevin Smith moving picture with several pop culture reference includingBatmanand even an appearance by Stan Lee .
The film was a fiscal flop with it earning only $ 2.1 million against a $ 6 million budget , but it became a hit on habitation video . It ’s been known that Kevin Smith has rationalise for this picture show , and for the most part , it was a studio apartment - made product .
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
At the time , this film serve another studio - made product that is full of cameo and ridiculous , over - the - top bodily fluid . With that said , there are interesting interludes in the film . The scene where Jay believes that the chimp that is accompanying them is a prelude to aPlanet of the Apesworld . This scene assist as a direct charade , stark with the Statue of Liberty .

Moreover , the film is another sexual love - missive toStar Warswith Mark Hamill in a scrap scene that is one for the ages . In the words of Chris Rock , George Lucas was certain to action someone , if the film within the film saw the light of the day .
CLERKS 2 (2006)
The only reasonClerks 2got made was because Kevin Smith made a promise to Jason Mewes that he would make the picture only if he got sober . And the love for the characters that started it all showed in the picture show . With Brian O’Halloran and Jeff Anderson reprising their roles as Dante and Randal severally , the film has a lot of heart .
In heart and soul , the film was about growing up and the major characters show that . Even Jay is basically a reformed drug addict and has a uproarious homage toSilence of the Lambs , that not many other actors , other than Jason Mewes could carry out .
DOGMA (1999)
This was probably up there in term of Kevin Smith ’s abilities as a writer . He gave an interesting point of survey on religion and mixing up Catholicism with raunchy humor , fantabulous dialog and of course of study , Jay and Silent Bob as protectors of the Messiah . Jay and Silent Bob were a side plus to the moving-picture show and were ludicrously hilarious in the parts they have .
The cinema itself is an image of what Kevin Smith was capable of as he mixed up action , comedy , and dramatic event all rolled into a weird movie of biblical proportions . This merit to be rated in the top three .
CLERKS (1994)
The originalClerksfilm is still Kevin Smith ’s best celluloid . There is no doubt about it . His subsequent cinema have ranged from bad to good and this one is top - tier up . This film also introduced the worldly concern to Jay and Silent Bob with Jason Mewes say things that no one on Earth ever would . Moreover , even Kevin Smith ’s advice to Dante at the end of the film is marvelous , which add more layers to the eccentric .
Jay and Silent Bob are American icons as they have entertained film audience for over 25 year . While some may not care for them , others will always observe value in them , in the years to total .
