I think 4 minutes in, I realized, "It's very unfortunate you're wearing a pickle shirt for this movie."
Right i didn't even realize it until that scene lol
I didn't even notice, but now I'm left wondering: is there a pickle flavor of GFuel?
@@mage1439 Yes, they had a limited release of it last year I believe.
LOL. Good eye ... I just noticed that.
I was 11 minutes in before I noticed the pickles.
Jason Mewes (Jay) went on such a massive bender while living in LA (mostly heroin by the end, I think it was) that he allegedly nearly died when the couch he'd passed out on caught fire. He realised after this he should face the music back home in NJ where there were warrants for his arrest, which lead to the famous car chase he refers to in the movie. So it was kind of autobiographical. He ended up in rehab for 6 months and it stuck for a few years, which was long enough to get Clerks 2 completed.
He relapsed in '09 after an injury caused him to go on pain meds, got clean and has been ever since 2010.
Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith used to have a podcast where they talked about Jason's struggles with staying sober and all their time together since being kids.
@@scottboswell6406 Jay and silent bob got old... It was a great series
It was indeed Heroin, and Kevin Smith let Jason live with Kevin and his family for an extended period while he was getting clean. Kevin Smith is the kind of friend we all want.
@@Psilocybin77 Oh 100%, but he also had his (reasonable) limits. Reading the interview where he detailed having to kick him out and then later on having to deny Mewes a seat at thanksgiving cause he wasn't clean, cause he had kids to worry about, was heartbreaking
just curious did you know Jason stream on twitch and plays fortnite xD
This reaction is like the culmination of all your hard work watching movies over the years come to fruition with the fact that you got almost every reference. I can’t stop laughing 😂
The satisfaction of seeing her naturally get references and not even realizing she's doing it... Is this what proud parents feel like? 😅
Ashleigh really has come a long way in her knowledge of movie references. Impressive. Most impressive.
Everyone should be proud of how well we've raised her.
Seeing Ashleigh crack-up on the Lord of the Rings Trilogy recap is just Precious!
I see what you did there.
She obviously knows it on a level the writers do
I like how you recognize Jason Lee from My Name is Earl, and not his lead character from Chasing Amy.
Or as Azrael from Dogma
Or as Brodie in Mallrats and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
Or his "My Name is Earl" brother Randy as one of the kids buying weed from Jay and Silent Bob.
@@gloriouslumiwho was also the character who couldn’t see the illusion image sailboat in Mallrats, lol
or Brody from MALLRATS (and JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK/REBOOT)
He's painting her toenails??? Uh, yeah. It's Rosario Dawson. I'd paint her house.
The Pillowpants scene cracks me up every time. Randall's reaction and the music from the Shining makes it perfect
Kevin Smith wrote a series of comics that tell stories about a lot of the characters in the viewaskewniverse. Tales from the Quickstop. One of them is Elias and his time in Jesus Camp and how the PTroll story came to be.
I got to meet Brian O'Halloran (Dante) at a convention a few years back. Had to shake his hand since, like I told him, management calls us in so often that Dante is the patron saint of our store. Got his autograph on my dvd copy, he wrote “You never go ass to mouth!”, then got Jays attention and he signed “Snooch to the nooch!” They’re some chill guys.
I have never been more jealous in my life
Quick Stop Groceries is a real store. Kevin Smith used to work there. That's why he had the idea to film Clerks there.
And the reason the shutters were "stuck closed" was because he had to film at night. It was an easy cheat to avoid showing the outside.
@@Bad_Wolf_Media "Cheats" like that are fairly common, like how most of Back to the Future is at night because Michael J Fox was filming Family Ties during the day. Most, if not all, of the daytime scenes were filmed on weekends.
Yeah, yeah, we went through all this when Ashleigh watched the original Clerks.
What makes the "pussy troll" scene work for me is the freaking horror music used on it. It's hilarious xD
And the counter shots on Randall's progressively more horrified face... 😂
And honestly Listerfiend is such a banger villianous name lol
Some people don't realize that "pussy trolls" in fact exist. But play it off as a joke in this film
I also think the lighting in that scene helps set a weird tone. The light is shining off the metal or chrome and it's kind of surreal. I think it's my favourite Kevin Smith shot scene.
"Even the trees walked in that movie" is such a great line xD
I skated in a demo with Jason Lee. Right when he got on Blind Skateboards. He’s f*cking hilarious. He kept randomly quoting Dr Seuss books all day because he’d memorized all the kids books
That’s freakin awesome!! I just finally got to meet him in February on the Jay & Silent Bob cruise.
Great story
You might want to add “Zack and Miri make a …” written and directed by Kevin Smith
and also starring Jason Mewes!
I died laughing watching that movie
Oh the little girl they showed Dante looking at was Kevin’s daughter Harley Quinn Smith. She also played baby Silent Bob in the beginning of Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.
And even appeared in Yoga Hosers / Jay & Silent Bob Reboot / Once Upon a Time in Hollywood / Cruel Summer / Clerks 3.
@@PsychTsunamiMkII Yup!! She’s turned out to be a decent actress.
@@PsychTsunamiMkIIdon't forget she also appeared in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
I love that Ashleigh wore a pickle shirt for this reaction 😂
As many people have no doubt pointed out, Dante's fiance is Kevin's wife, Jennifer Schwalbach. She was also in Strike Back as one of the diamond thieves.
Randall's opinions of Lord of the Rings are Kevin's at the time, but Randall also thinks... well, so many very wrong things.
Kevin also does not crap on other people's work anymore.
Pillow Pants for Life!
Biggest problem with the LORD OF THE RINGS bit is that Kevin Smith just copied a bit he used to do at Q&As, but Smith does it with well timing; Randall does it a bit too "stiff".
This was worth it just for all the horrified faces Ashleigh made throughout it. LOL! Too funny! Just one look of horror after the other.
I love how hard ashley is laughing, it makes me remember how insanely funny this was the first time & having that same reaction in the theater 😂❤
18:43 Ashley’s reaction is priceless 😂😂😂
"I will, baby you can't taste racism." 😂😂😂
6:11 The reason for Ben Affleck’s facial hair is because he was filming a movie called Smokin’ Aces. It’s an interesting action movie.
Its a great action movie
@@codyscards6698Cult classic! Pre- Deadpool Ryan Reynolds in it too!
If you like Smokin Aces then do Lucky Number Slevin or Shoot Em Up.
@@themoviedealers Oh yeah, seen those both and live em’ too! Might have me a triple feature tonight!
Totally forgot about Smokin Aces, that is a great action/drama movie with a ton of famous faces..Ryan Reynolds, Andy Garcia, Alicia Keyes just to name a few
Things that Ashleigh missed:
1) The van that drops Jay and Bob off at Moobys is a call back to the van that picks up Jay, and Silent Bob strikes back
2) The drug customers, the customer left, is one of the kid customers in Jay and Bob strike back while the other is the man staring at the pic in Mallrats
3) Dantes' fiancee is Kevin Smiths wife and was one of the jewelry thieves in Jay and Silent Bob Strike back
4) The customer who covers his daughter's eyes is in original clerks, and most of the viewaskew movies verse
5) "my name is earl"/picklefucker is Banky from Chasing Amy
6) There are more, but I was trying to comment and watch your review at the same time
The man covering his daughter's eyes is Scott Mosier, Kevin Smith's close friend and producer of most of the Askewniverse movies.
@@erikmchatton I couldn't remember his name, I remembered it was Kevins good friend
Jason Lee was also in Mallrats and Dogma.
The "weird little kid" Dante makes eye contact with is Smith's daughter, Harley.
The customer on the right, the one who stared at the pic in Mallrats, was also the brother on My Name is Earl.
Ashleigh, I’m 50 this year. Enjoy your 30’s, everything goes by so fast. Love you ✌🏻👩🏻🦰👍🏻🫂
As goofy as Kevin Smith movies can get, when he hits serious notes it really resonates with me. The prison scene genuinely makes me tear up.
The scene where Dante sees the young girl is the one that really gets me, and TBH I was kind of bummed that Ashleigh just made a snarky comment about it and moved on.
I'm in the age group where all three of these movies hit me at the same time of life as the characters are in the film. Puts a lot of internal struggle the characters are having in great perspective for me. It was some of the same questions I was asking myself at the time.
@@jculver1674that little girl was Kevin Smiths daughter Harley Quinn Smith
Right? You so rarely get to see that kind of serious emotional interaction in a non-romantic context in films and I think we need so much more of it. Also, there's that one single line of Randal's:
_If you had any sense whatsoever you'd fucking stop trying to bray it up with the rest of the sheep and live your life the way it makes sense for *you*, you fucking ass!_
That hit me so hard I printed it out in full poster size and have it on my wall as a motivational quote. Simply incredible writing.
I love Kevin Smith, I think his writing is less funny than he think he is , but he's a better writer than he gives himself credit for. He's a million times better when he writes honest and "serious" stuff.
"37 pee pees" I'm ded LOL
"In a row?"
You should add the Clerks cartoon to the list of View Askuniverse things to watch. Unfortunately it would have been before Clerk's 2, but you should still watch it. It's only 6 episodes.
Alec Baldwin and a lot of other famous actors did voices for it, it's great. Leonardo Leonardo, owner of the Quick-ER Stop LOL
@@lordmortarius538plus the real live action version of Lando shows up in Clerks 3.. lol.
I've never seen a reaction where Ashleigh has laughed so loudly, so much but also been dead silent so much. This movie will do that 🤣🤣
I've never seen so much of Ashleigh's tonsils, I must say.
@@scipioafricanus5871 not since her Addams Family reaction, anyway.
Ashleigh ain't gonna be ready for the emotions that come with Clerks 3... None of us were.
There's a Clerks 3??? Well, dang! Know where I can watch it?
I get choked up explaining that movie to ppl
Yeah, and I'm trying to word this so as not to spoil anything in case Ashleigh reads it..... especially those of us who have walked the path Dante did in that movie. I'm being 100% real here: I do not cry during movies because I know they are fiction. However, "Dragonheart" from the 1990s got me to tear up at the end. Only one other movie has brought actual tears to my eyes in my 57 years on this planet, and that's Clerks III. I had hoped to see it in theaters, but life happened and I couldn't go. After watching it at home the day it went "Live" on iTunes.... I wrote an open letter to Kevin Smith via Facebook that called him an asshole and praised the movie. I felt the praise was deserved, but he was an asshole for writing a story that caused me to cry while watching it.
I know this is below the "Click for More" button, so I'll say it now: I was widowed in 2006. My wife died from Ovarian Cancer. She had promised to send me someone when the time was right. Three years later, she did. I've been married to my second wife since 2011. Want to hear the kicker? My second wife was born with a congenital heart defect. She had open heart surgery in 2020 right before the pandemic hit. So, you can imagine how Clerks III hit me on multiple plot points.
Cry Boy McHe-Man-Ruiner made a third Clerks movie? Well Star Wars went down on his watch so who cares? He sold his soul. And not in a good way.
Thats gonna kill her...
The little girl who waves at Dante out the window, is Kevin Smith's daughter, Harley Quinn Smith.
"I was not ready for a singular moment in this movie"
Oh, sweet summer child, nobody was.
The scene of how "Jay" got sober (4:10) is based on a true story (Kevin wasn't in the vehicle). Kevin Smith allowed Jason Mewes to stay with him and Kevin's family for an extended period of time, in order to clean Jason off of Heroin. Kevin Smith is an incredible friend, and anyone that knows his story, will know that's a huge under statement.
While not connected to all the other movies, I would recommend “Jersey Girl”, which Kevin did between Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and Clerks 2.
Yes!! It’s his homage to one of his (and mine too) favorite John Hughes film “She’s Having a Baby) and Jersey Girl is also one of my favorites as well.
Jersey Girl is soooo underrated and always got too much heat because of the whole Bennifer thing. It remains ones of my favorites of his for all the feels.
"Zack and Miri Make a Porno", too.
There is also"Vulgar"(2000). I would recommend to any Kevin Smith aficionados.
Just glad to see there is small pocket of support for Jersey Girl.. It got unfairly caught in the Gigli backlash... And it's by far Kevin's most beautifully shot film.. and George Carlin's performance. Really is a shame we never got to see him in more roles.
Clerks 3 is going to break you in half. But don't be afraid, it did that to all of us.
I’ve seen it so many times now & still bawl my eyes out.
Went to see it in Atlanta when Kevin took it on tour & Brian (Dante) was his guest for the night and it was really special finally meeting him & getting pics. Just saw him again on the cruise in February.
@@iChristyD Saw it once. Cried like a bitch at the end. Can't again. Won't. Kevin wrapped it beautifully and unexpectedly. Maybe someday.
Ashleigh, I highly recommend AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, as Louis Gossett Jr passed away at 87 last night.
That was a high point for he and Richard Gere and a low point for the Navy and the economy. It inspired a lot of people to join. Please consider it Ma’am.
She should also watch him in Toy Soldiers, love that movie!! Plus Keith Coogan is in it and he’s going to be in Jay & Silent Bob: Reboot coming up soon.
@@iChristyDlol. Yeah I used to watch that movie all the time as a kid. Even has Samwise and Wesley Crusher together.
I raise my glass to an awesome actor who gave us innumerable excellent performances. 🥃
Officer and a Gentleman is one of Gere's BEST movies.
Honestly, the most amazing part of this video is how we got to watch Ashleigh go on the journey of watching all the other movies such as Star Wars and LotR and now getting the references like a true blooded geek! Welcome to the geekdom!
I knew you were not ready for this. No one was. Makes it even more funny 😛
The music Jay, Bob, and Randall sing to Elias is from KING DIAMOND. King's music is also in the beginning of the movie when Jay and Silent Bob are introduced, as well as the "Demonic" music they play when Beck and Dante are dancing on the Roof.
🤘🤘
Dante's definitely got a thing for nails, he paints Veronica's in the first movie too
Loved the intro 😂 “36?! Does that include me?! 37… I’m 37?!” lolol
Randall Graves and me are connected on a deep spiritual level. Jeff Anderson is a very interesting and hilarious guy. He was upset with Kevin Smith for many years regarding compensation from the success of "Clerks", and Jeff refused to film this sequel. The two have since patched up their relationship (obviously). However, it was Jeff Anderson, who again delayed the making of the 3rd movie; but for artistic reasons. Kevin Smith has stated he was glad Jeff convinced him not to do it, because Kevin's heart attack changed the movie he wanted Clerks 3 to be. There are a couple of smodcasts with Kevin Smith and Jeff Anderson, and they are well worth seeking out for fans (Jeff and Kevin's stories about making the first film are S-tier podcasting). Jeff Anderson also met and briefly married his "Clerks" co-star Lisa Spoonauer (Caitlen Bree). They were divorced a year later. He since remarried and lives a quiet life on a secluded mountain somewhere lol. I don't know where, and I don't think he has told anyone besides his wife. While I understand why people might not like the crude nature of this film; I can only understate how much I love this film and what it means to me. It's a movie that serves as a reminder of a really wonderful time in my life. Thanks for this one.
Clerks 2 is my favourite out all the K.S films. It's packed full of jokes that all hit and the pacing, acting and writing are all on point. It's a tight little comedy package.
It’s mine too. I saw Kevin live a few years ago and someone asked what he thought was his best movie. His answer was Clerks 2. Obviously this was before Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and Clerks 3, but the pacing and heart in this one is just perfect.
Honestly, it's really damn underrated and the serious moments are so _real_ - it's the sort of everyday emotional exchange we just don't see enough of in movies. Just wonderful
Rosario Dawson's best look
She looks pretty good in Trance, with James McAvoy 😉
Apart from Sin City.
Agreed.
I can stare at her all damn day
She's so goddamn beautiful in this film.
And a big part of it for me is also that she portrays Becky in a _really_ complex way that has so much breadth of emotion: happy, envious, cheeky, shocked, catty, angry, silly... Becky feels like a real person more than just about any other film character I've ever seen.
Me and my friend actually visited the set of Clerks 2 during filming. Mooby's was a former Burger King location in Buena Park, CA, near Knott's Berry Farm. If you watch close enough you can see a couple of Knott's rides in the background. We went on the day they shot the musical number, so we were completely confused as to what was going on.
This is the movie that made me fall in love with Rosario Dawson.
I think I feel in love with her in this little flick a few years before called "The First Twenty Million is the hardest.." with Ethan Supplee in a supporting role.
She was great in Deathproof
Fun fact: Jason Mewes is just as batshit in real life as he is in these movies. There was a TV series called Comic Book Men, basically like Pawn Stars set in a comic book store called "Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash" which is owned by Kevin Smith. Jason showed up in the store in one episode, he just starts opening action figures of various values and plays with them right there on the card table in the shop.
It’s all scripted, you know.
So has Ashleigh never realized that My Name Is Earl (Jason Lee) also played prominent roles in Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma? 😮
aka "Picklefucker" lol.
Since you said you've never seen any Cheech and Chong movies, 4/20 is coming up you should watch one of their movies for the holiday. "Up in smoke" would be best
They don't hit as well if you've never smoked...but still goofy.
@@themoviedealersoh, you know Ashley burns tho 💨💨💨
My favorite scene will always be the girl snorting Ajax 🤣🤣🤣
I like how you recognized Jason Lee from My Name is Earl but not from Mallrats (Brodie), Chasing Amy (Banky), Dogma (Azrael), or Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (Brodie and Banky). Lol
Lee is cool. My favorite role of his was Jeff Beebe from Almost Famous....which Ashleigh should definitely react to.
From the crudest humor to the most emotional thought-provoking dialogue, Kevin Smith never fails.
Yes he does
I mean.... Mallrats exists.
@@Garland41and it’s fantastic.
Clerks 3... was a pretty big fail. This was a far better ending. That movie was just unfun and depressing.
Clerks 3 is an absolute dumpster fire and I regret watching it.
For everything amazing that Clerk II as a movie is, I have to thank Kevin Smith singlehandedly for introducing me to the Talking Heads, the band that plays the introduction theme song "(Nothing But) Flowers". They're my top 5 favorite band of all time
Love the Clerks trilogy. The perfect balance of silly and emotional.
It's weird to call a series with two movies a trilogy. But i guess it makes sense. Because for sure no third Clerks movie has taken place. That is one thing i know for sure, there is no Clerks III.
@@existenceisrelativeSeptember 13th 2022 Clerks 3 (ua-cam.com/video/uD3n3GM3Z_0/v-deo.html)
@@Ati-MarcusS r/woooosh
@@Ati-MarcusS Yes, that's very much what it would be like if there _were_ a Clerks III movie. Thankfully, there is no Clerks III.
@existenceisrelative but there is a clerks 3, whether you like it or not it exists 😎
6:03 Jennifer Schwalbach, ladies and gentlemen. Silent Bob's real-life wife, who's also in Strike Back.
8:47 This is a good explanation, let's explore the subject further...😉😂
15:00 Still not much more ridiculous than the the rhetoric of your average Fundie.
18:15 Ashleigh losing her mind in this scene is everything I was hoping for. 🤣🤣🤣
22:56 the little girl is Kevin Smith's real life daughter Harley Quinn Smith
I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan, I grew up on his movies, but this was the last one I watched. It seemed like such a perfect place to end it. The Pillow Pants scene lives rent free in my head.
When Randall goes through that whole "Is it Racist?" tirade & then later during the entire donkey scene, the always reacting & talking Ash, both times, just sits reaction-less & completely silent, wide-eyed, mouth open, in shock, just frozen..😂😂 It makes watching this reaction worth it's weight in gold, let me tell ya.. That was a friggin" classic, girl!! Lmfao! I have never laughed so hard in my life.. Both AT you & WITH you.. It was so great.. Cannot wait for you to watch the final one now..❤
Some fun trivia. The suspicion of mischief charge that Jay talks about actually happened and is the reason Jason Mews got clean. The song they were singing was by the band King Diamond, look him up. Dantes fiancé is Jennifer Schwalbach, she was in J&SB Strike Back, and is Kevin's wife in real life. The little girl in the restaurant window that Dante sees in the window pre donkey scene is Harley Quinn Smith, Kevin and Jens daughter. She also played baby Bob in J&SB Strike back. And the milk lady at the end is Kevin's mom, she was in the first Clerks as well.
"I'm taking it back!" 😂😂😂
I remember seeing this movie 3 times in the first week and a half when it came out. It’s probably my favorite comedy of all time and the Anne Frank/Helen Keller scene makes me cry every time I watch it.
Watched in theaters more than once too. Took my ex girlfriend and she was freaking out at the Pillowpants scene.
when the movie first came out on DVD, you could get a special edition "happy meal" version that came in a Moobys happy meal box with the DVD, a moobys visor and name tag. Really wish i knew what happened to the one i had... such a great movie.
Zack and Miri make a ponro is an excellent film with very similar humour. It's not in the viewaskew universe but it is a Kevin Smith film and features Jason Muse.
It's like Kevin trying to make an Apatow movie. The entire cast was in The 40 Year Old Virgin.
When you mentioned turning 30, I immediately thought of the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” which was a comedy that premiered in 1970. It was a groundbreaking show as it was about a single 30 year old & life as it really was. Mary worked in a small tv station in Minneapolis as a news associate producer…their anchorman was an idiot who wanted to be like Walter Cronkite. Cronkite was one of the most revered news anchors ever. In one of the first episodes, Mary comes home the next morning…big deal as back then as women on tv didn’t have premarital sex…or take birth control. It had Mr. Grant get divorced…& later deal with his ex remarrying. There was Ted’s health scare plus one of the best episodes ever written: Chuckles Bites the Dust. Chuckles was the morning kids’ show clown. It dealt with society’s image of beauty with the character of Rhoda (Mary’s best friend) deal with weight as she was “chunky.” In the season 4 episode that introduced Betty White as Sue Ann Nivens, the Happy Homemaker host, Mary’s friend & landlord, Phyllis, dealt with infidelity as her husband had an affair with Sue Ann…a man-eating, passive-aggressive Martha Stewart. It dealt with prejudice (anti-semitism), freedom of the press, & equal pay. It won 29 Emmys & nominated for 38 more. You can find it on Hulu or on the Mary Tyler Moore channel on UA-cam. So if you ever get a chance, you should check it out.
Anyone else have their name on the end credits from the MySpace thing Kevin did back when Clerks 2 came out? Me & the Hubby do!
cool!!!
Such a joy watching Ashleigh swing between being appalled by what Randal is saying, and then flat-out agreeing with him! 😁
Btw: the "stranger kid" was Harley Quinn Smith, Kevin's daughter. She played "Baby Bob" in "Strike Back" and has a more prominent role coming up in the series.
Can't wait for you to see Elias all grown up in clerk's 3! 😂
I do not acknowledge Clerks 3, this is the proper ending of Clerks.
A friend of mine who is a huge Askewniverse fan told me NOT to watch it. I trust her judgement and have not seen it.
i liked it, but yeah, this is definitely the happy ending
Clerks 3 is amazing.
@@ghidrah76boring AF and uninteresting
Clerks 3 Broke me more than Avengers Endgame did.
I love how hard you laughed at this film. It reminded me how funny this film was.
every randall moment always leaves me rolling on the floor at the craziness
Fun fact about the donkey guy! 😅
Kevin Smith gave him the script without telling him which part he wanted him to play.
He said: "once you see it, you'll know".
And the guy read the whole thing wondering: maybe I'm Elias? maybe I'm the Lord of the Ring guy? etc.
And of course the moment his character showed up, he just knew. 😂
He also told his mom she wasn’t allowed to watch the movie, and if anyone asked her if he was in it to deny it. 🤣
Omg I totally forgot about Pillow pants ! 😂
The filming location of Mooby's was in Buena Park, CA where I used to live! One night we were driving past the set and it was glowing blue. Little did we know it was the night they were filming the donkey scene! Good times.
When Ashleigh announced she was going to be watching Clerks 2 ... I could already see her brain breaking through various scenes throughout the movie. The reaction did not disappoint.
The go-carts used in the film were from a Go-Kart park (currently called "Boomers" (I think)) in City of Industry near the Puente Hills Mall - where they filmed the Twin Pines/Lone Pine Mall for Back to the Future) located next to (of all streets) ... Stoner Creek Drive - I kid you not.
Watching Ashleigh losing her mind so many times is just about the perfect way to describe this movie. Just clips of her going off the rails should be the trailer for the movie.
I saw this on opening day when I was 18. And I was about to start my senior year of high school with my life ahead of me. This movie made me laugh but also is one I look back on as a real start to growing up, thinking about where I wanted my future to go and what I wanted out of life.
Also Zak who played the Sexy Stud has an AMAZING documentary on the DVD about finding out what role he was playing and it's HILARIOUS.
AND Wanda Sykes and Earthquake ad libbed all their lines up to the...um....yknow. Also on the DVD
Ok.. having been a friend of Kevin's since around '95 (we met on the set of Mallrats when I recognized him from Clerks and actually knew his name.. a couple of notes.
Jay's story about driving around and getting pulled over with a deployed airbag is 100% real.
Dante painting toe nails is a callback to Clerks where he did Veronica's.
I have the screen used wedding invitations from this flick. :) He auctioned off a lot of props. I spent FAR more than I should have on several things. :)
The little girl in the diner "making eye contact with a strange kid" is Kevin's daughter Harley Quinn Smith. (who also played little Silent Bob in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back).. Fear not.. you'll see her again. ;)
Your reaction to Zack "The Sexy Stud" spitting into his hand is priceless. Kevin has said that when he dies, at the Oscars, he's hoping that shot would be used for him in the "In Memoriam" segment.
The Star Wars vs Lord of the Rings scene always cracks me up. “There’s only one Return. And it ain’t of the King. It’s of the Jedi!” 😂😂😂
Also Ashleigh’s face during this whole scene at 18:15 says it all lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
Ashleigh's face at 23:50, when she realized what is about to happen. I don't think she was ready for this.
Oh I'm so excited about this one, my favourite of Kevin Smith's movies for sure hahahaha
Woo-hoo! Thanks so much for watching these movies with us! I hope you enjoyed the movie. Guess I had better watch and find out.
Aside from the cameos of Ben Affleck and Jason Lee (Pickle Fucker), Kevin Smith's wife, daughter, and mother also make appearances as Dante's fiancé, Emma, the little girl watching Dante from the window, and the "Milk Maid" at the end.
I took my 15 year old niece to see this movie. When it came out on DVD I watched it with her mother, who kept stopping the movie saying 'You're going to Hell.' I pointed out that she let me take her, ablnd it made me the coolest Uncle of all time.
Louis Gossett Jr passed away, you know him from Iron Eagle, you need to watch Officer and a Gentleman. He won his Academy Award for this role.
If you haven't seen Kevin Smith recount his heart attack story to Stephen Colbert, do it NOW. My wife had a mild heart attack year ago and she nearly had another one laughing at Kevin telling that story. She played it over and over again. It has like a bazillion views.
ok, we learned a little too much about Ashleigh's technique here. Crippling depression is one thing, not snowballing is another
My Name Is Earl guy is in all of their films, he just was only filming Earl during the time of this films.. filming... FILM... he works at the comic book shop at the mall.
It was all fun and games when poor Ashleigh started watching Star Wars. Now she's never going to be able to un-see Kelly and the Sexy Stud.
I remember seeing this for the first time in theaters and something that came to mind at the time was why would Randel want to re-open the Quickstop. He explains why but, in the first Clerks movie Randel said that he hated working at the Quickstop and video store
In real life the actress that plays Emma is actually Kevin Smith's wife. Also the girl in the window is Kevin Smith's daughter 22:54
And the milk lady at the end is, just like in the first Clerks, Kevin Smith's mom.
Oh yeah,that's right@@jochenmuller6757
You need to be prepared for Clerks 3
IT SURPRISES ME THAT YOU ARE NOT CLOSER TO A MILLION SUBS BY NOW!! LET'S MAKE THAT HAPPEN!! YOU ARE THE BEST REVIEWER - THE ONLY REVIEWER OF THE BEST MOVIES ON THE PLANET!!
My best friend growing up down the street had an older sister who worked at that exact Pizza Hut @ 2:46. I spent a lot of time going there and to that Wendy’s when I was younger. It’s always surreal seeing places from your childhood, especially the Quick Stop, featured in movies.
The Next movie is Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Like I said in your Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back reaction, before watching Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, you should first watch Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.
Love that movie.
Just a solid early 90s gem worth watching anyway 😉
_still jealous how huge the Totino’s were back then compared to now lol_
Christina Applegate (don't wanna google, I like to hope I'm right)? For some reason I always get that one mixed up with "Adventures in Babysitting"
@@desmoove You are correct. Christina Applegate was the star of Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead.
@@desmoove "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead" is Christina Applegate, "Adventures in Babysitting" is Elisabeth Shue, but they both feature Keith Coogan.
For the record, it’s pronounced “Askew-Niverse”. Anyway, my best friend (RIP) and I loved these movies, and his name was Kelly. When the Sexy Stud pointed out that Kelly could be a boy’s name too, I nearly laughed myself into an aneurysm. His nickname was “Ace-Man” because he loved Kiss. Could you review “Detroit Rock City” as a memorial to my friend?
DRC director, Adam Rifkin, has a very quirky filmography.😅
Found it interesting that when Jason Lee entered the Mooby's, you went right for 'My Name is Earl' and not Brodie (Mallrats), Banky (Chasing Amy/Jay & Silent Bob Strike back) or Azrael (Dogma) the characters he has played thus far in the View Askewniverse... Must have been the mustache...
You are a simple JOY to watch with your reactions; it's like showing my daughter these GenX classics.
Clerks 1, 2, and 3 show different maturities. It's great. I saw Clerks 3 premiere. It was very good and emotional. Ashleigh Burton---WATCH CLERKS 3!!
This is such an underrated film, I fucking howl at the dialogue between Elias and Randal.
Kevin smith is the king of dialogue ❤
I fell asleep for a bit after waking up early, but I'm pumped to be here for this one.
This was a big culmination for you, not just having watched the VA movies but the LotR ones, too, because you laughed hard at that bit.
Also - every bit of Randall's screed against the Rings trilogy is solid.
Louis Gossett, Jr passed today :(. I think you would like his movie "Enemy Mine"
one of my favorite sci-fi's from that era. RIP.
Rosario Dawson is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! She’s the reason I watched this movie in the first place. I think Dogma is the best Kevin Smith movie.
That opening reminds me of the day part of the roof caved in at our local CVS. We'd been having torrential rainfall for days. They were vacuuming the water out. I went across the street to the Walgreens and asked the clerk if she knew about CVS. She said no, adding "So that's why we've had so many customers this morning."
"You never go ass to mouth" - "Ugh, You sound like my Mother" 🤣
Its so funny. My son and i have this convo all the time: fav kevin smith movie, fav viewaskew movie, and finally ranking all clerks movies against each other
