Clerks II | comment |
The 2006 sequel to the classic independent comedy film Clerks and the first sequel proper to a film in Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse.Ten years after the events in Clerks, Dante opens up the shutters on the Quick Stop windows to find that the store's on fire (thanks to Randal leaving the coffee pot on… again). Cut to about a year later when Dante and Randal are working at the local Mooby's franchise, and Dante is working his last day since he's getting ready to move and get married. Of course, things never quite go according to plan in the View Askewniverse…A third film was Saved from Development Hell and eventually released in September 2022. | |

Clerks II / int_125f3ee4 | comment |
Cannot Keep a Secret: Seconds after Dante tells Randal he got Becky pregnant and makes him promise not to tell anyone, Becky walks outside and Randal nervously blurts out a congratulations to her, which of course pisses her off and makes her zoom out of the parking lot in her car... and end up in front of a women's clinic, thinking about abortion. | |

Clerks II / int_1b65dfad | comment |
The Cameo: Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Wanda Sykes, Scott Mosier, and even Kevin Smith's young daughter, Harley Quinn Smith. Kevin Michael Richardson, a recurring voice on Clerks: The Animated Series, is the firefighter who gets offended by Randal's “Porch Monkey� shirt. The man in the bathroom during the dance scene is Smith's long-suffering, Canadian, indie-filmmaker friend Malcolm Ingram. Fans of SModcast will recall him as the person who couldn't name the PM of Canada. | |

Did You Think I Can't Feel?: What kicks off Dante and Randal's argument in the jail cell. Despite his inherent smarminess, Randal genuinely loves Dante ("...in a totally heterosexual way.") and is hurt when he finds out that Dante never saw him as anything more than a pest whom he wasted his time with. | |

Character Development: From Clerks; Dante is less inclined to blame other people for his own passiveness and less inclined to bitch about whatever life hands him. The problem is that he's embraced his passiveness, resulting in him having convinced himself that the things life hands him will make him happier than they in all likeliness actually will. | |

Nerds Are Virgins | |
Clerks II / int_5f2b0457 | comment |
Nerds Are Virgins: Elias, although according to him it's because he's afraid of Pillow Pants. It's interesting to note that Randal is not less nerdy than Elias; Elias is simply more awkward about it, and yet he has a girlfriend while Randal doesn't. Dante is as nerdy as both of them and is definitely not a virgin. Make of that what you will. While there's likely no actual distinctions, some sources tend to characterize a difference between "nerd" and "geek" as an issue of social ineptitude, as in geeks are just as obsessed with comic books/sci-fi/video games, etc. but can also be otherwise 'cool' people. In that sense, Randal and Dante are geeks without being nerds. | |

Author Appeal: The movie was written and directed by Kevin Smith, one of the most famous Star Wars fans on Earth. In the twelve years since the original Clerks, The Lord of the Rings trilogy has seriously challenged Star Wars' status as the most popular and lucrative cinematic trilogy of all time. Naturally, Randal and Elias get into an argument over which is better. | |

As explained by Randal: During the time when they were in high school, the upperclassmen instigated hazing rituals towards the freshmen, with Lance receiving (in Randal's own words) "the worst" of it. That hazing towards him came in the form of being forced to walk ten feet with a pickle shoved up his ass; if the pickle dropped before he reached ten feet, he had to take a bite of the pickle, then start over. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
Clerks II / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Like in Clerks, when Dante tries to blame his life's failures on Randal, he loses it and tells Dante exactly what his problem is. But unlike in Clerks Dante throws it back in Randal's face, pointing out how Randal's problem is toxic to those around him and forcing Randal to admit his life philosophy has left him miserable and lonely. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Clerks II / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Clerks: Randal puts an “I EAT COCK� sign on Elias's employee-of-the-month photo that looks exactly like the one Jay puts on the door of the Quick Stop and gets Randal to stand near in the first Clerks. Instead of his usual tuque Jay wears a baseball cap like he did in the first movie, though this time its a brimless hat so it looks similar to the tuque. Dante helps Becky with her nail polish in the back of the store, just like he did with Veronica. And, moreover, Jeff Anderson (Randal) flubbed the line “What smells like nail polish?� on the first take. Instead, he said “What smells like shoe polish?� The line got changed to “Why does it smell so funny in here?� as a result. Randal's “Rangle� walk pops up again during the dance number. Dante and Becky dancing on the roof is a nod to the rooftop hockey game. Randal makes reference to how Dante always seems to have two hot girls fighting over him when Dante tells him Becky's pregnant. One of the scenes in the montage set to 1979 is of Jay dancing in the dark, mirroring a similar shot from the first movie (only this time it doesn't last long enough for Silent Bob to join in). Events of the first movie are outright mentioned during the jail scene, specifically Julie Dwyer's funeral and the “shit or get off the pot� dialogue. During Randal's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Dante, Dante interjects: “And what should I do if I was half the master of my own destiny the great Randal Graves is?� Randal calls himself a “master of his own destiny� in Clerks after winning the “title-dictates-behavior� argument. The film overloads on these in the last five minutes. “I assure you, we're re-open[ed]!� “You know what? You're not even supposed to be here today.� “Pack o' cigarettes?� and the return of the woolen-cap smoker, courtesy of Walt Flanagan. The “milk maid� is also the same woman (Kevin Smith's mother, to be exact) from Clerks. The songs over the end credits to both films are Soul Asylum songs. Mallrats: At least two tags on the boarded up Quick Stop say “poopy trim,� which is what Willam shouted in his first scene in Mallrats. During Randal's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Dante, he points out the lack of sense in their choice of college courses: “One semester we took criminology, for Christ's sake! What the fuck were we training to be, Batman?� Cue Jay and Silent Bob grinning at each other. Dogma: For most of the movie, Jay wears a T-shirt with the Buddy Christ on it. When Becky calls Jay from the roof, his first answer is “God?� as Dogma established, God is female. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back: In Jay and Silent Bob's first scene, their regular customer from Strike Back appears and strikes up a conversation. Jay also sings the “Fifteen bucks, little man� song to him again. During the jail scene, Jay and Silent Bob's condition for lending Dante and Randal the money to buy the Quick Stop is that they are allowed to hang out there again. Dante and Randal's restraining order against Jay and Silent Bob was what set the plot of Strike Back in motion. In his final scene, Jay has "Justice TLF" taped on his hoodie. Clerks: The Animated Series: Randal does his Verbal Tic ("Nyeh!") from Clerks The Animated Series when he tells Becky "Yeah, I've waited on your brother too." | |

Take That!: The film features a 3-minute debate on The Lord of the Rings, with Randal calling the movies boring, comparing them unfavorably the to the original Star Wars trilogy and saying in jest that there should've been a Hobbit sex scene. He mocks the movies so much that he causes a LotR fan (who is a customer at the restaurant) to vomit in disgust. Just to keep things fair, Elias and the LotR fanboy aim more than a few shots at the Star Wars prequels, which Randal doesn't bother to dispute. | |

Shout-Out | |
Clerks II / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Early on in the movie Emma delivers this line to Dante: "Face it, Tiger. You just hit the jackpot!" Also, Kevin Smith's mom calls him Tiger. "May your first child be a masculine child!" is a quote from The Godfather. And Randal says Dante will spawn a "hideous fuckin' C.H.U.D. baby." (Hell, that's a recurring gag in the film, Randal calling Dante a "hideous fucking CHUD".) Elias burning the fries is one to a similar gag in UHF. Randal describes Anne Frank (confusing her with Helen Keller) as the "deaf, dumb and blind woman"note Doubles as both Values Dissonance, as "dumb" is no longer used to describe being mute, as well as being inaccurate, as Helen Keller was only deaf and blind, not mute (though that last one might just have been part of the joke). - who is then helped by "the miracle worker". James L. Venable's score uses a snatch from his theme song to Clerks: The Animated Series in his beginning of the donkey show scene. | |

Clerks II / int_e1c796e9 | comment |
Diegetic Switch: The song played at the end of the movie — "Misery" by Soul Asylum — was actually played from a stereo from off camera (so the actors could hear it) and only switches to non-diagetic once the credits kick in. | |

The Bear | |
Clerks II / int_e1da40 | comment |
The Bear: Kinky Kelly's assistant (later revealed to be his partner). Though he's never explicitly mentioned as being gay, he fits the other parts of the trope to a T. Well, that is a male donkey he's fucking. Although when it's another species, perhaps the gender aspect goes out the window. | |

Nemesis as Customer | |
Clerks II / int_e37ed279 | comment |
Nemesis as Customer: Dante and Randall are working at Mooby's (a fast food restaurant) when Lance Dowds, a classmate of theirs that they used to antagonize, comes in and reveals that he's now a dotcom millionaire. Randall sabotages Lance's food, but Lance is Genre Savvy enough to not eat it and gives it to Jay and Silent Bob. | |

Flanderization | |
Clerks II / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Some find that Randal got a little dumber between the first movie and the second. Blame Clerks: The Animated Series. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
Clerks II / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: In the Go-Kart scene, you can see mountains in the far distance where none would be visible from any location on or near the Jersey Shore. The scene was actually filmed in City of Industry, California. | |

Burger Fool: What Dante and Randal have been reduced to after the Quick Stop burned down. Made all the more tragic since they're in their mid-30's and have still been working in bottom-of-the-barrel jobs for the last decade. | |

Dumbass Has a Point: Eternal slacker Randal puts forward the notion that for all the crap they went through working there, both he and Dante were happiest when they were working at the Quick Stop. | |

Platonic Declaration of Love | |
Clerks II / int_f3abffb6 | comment |
Platonic Declaration of Love: Randal tells Dante he loves him, quite significant for such a character to admit. Becky also tells Dante she loves him just like she loves her parents and her car, though this turns out to be a subversion, as it's later established she is pregnant with his child and does love him in a romantic way. | |
