The View Askewniverse / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
The View Askewniverse / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: The comic series Chasing Dogma, which bridges Chasing Amy and Dogma, and explains just how Jay and Silent Bob ended up in Illinois; Various director commentaries point out things never explained in the film, like Brodie Bruce and Randal Graves' relationship (they're cousins), or that Rick Derris is Jay's older brother.

The View Askewniverse / int_959cb9aa	comment	One Degree of Separation: All the characters either know each other from high school, or from past events in other films. Jay and Silent Bob are the centerpiece of the View Askewniverse, being the only characters to appear in every film. Where to begin: Randal Graves and Brodie Bruce are cousins. Dante Hicks is related to Gil (Suitor #3 on Truth or Date), Jim (the exec who wants to make Bluntman and Chronic into a cartoon series), and Grant (the reporter who is killed by Bartleby and Loki). To better identify all the Hicks cousins, well, notice that they're all played by Brian O'Halloran. Caitlin Bree and Alyssa Jones were best friends in high school, cheated on Dante while he was dating Caitlin. Alyssa's two sisters are Heather, who goes out on a date with Rick Derris in the original Clerks, and Tricia, the 15-year-old from Mallrats who wrote... you know. Further confirmed when Alyssa and Tricia exit the Bluntman and Chronic movie premiere together in ... Strike Back. Speaking of Rick Derris, he managed to nail sisters Alyssa and Heather, and was also one of the many guys Caitlin cheated on Dante with. In Mallrats, it's mentioned he also slept with Gwen, who had previously gone out with T.S. Quint. Shannon Hamilton also had sex with two of the Jones sisters, Alyssa and Tricia; a video of his encounter with each was produced. He also slept with Gwen. Brandi Svenning, T.S. Quint's girlfriend in Mallrats had previously been involved with Banky Edwards from Chasing Amy.

The View Askewniverse / int_c2d969f4	comment	Cameo: Jay and Silent Bob have a short cameo on the movie set of the Show Within a Show "Stab" in Scream 3. Then, when in ...Strike Back, they interrupt the filming of a fictional Scream sequel to rescue their monkey. That scene is a lot funnier since Scream 4 was released.

The View Askewniverse / int_c75df49a	comment	Also, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is essentially one long parade of cameos, with nearly every single one of them accompanied by a Shout-Out to that person's most famous previous movie role. That, and the bong-lightsaber scene. Look kids, it's Mark Hamill! [applause] In fairness, he did that because test audiences failed to recognize Hamill.

The View Askewniverse / int_d4b6915b	comment	Mocky Mouse: Several of the films, most notably Dogma and Clerks II, feature a cartoon cow named Mooby, who has several noticeable similarities in design to Mickey Mouse (especially the gloves and buttoned shorts) and is the focus of a profitable multimedia franchise. Kevin Smith even stated that the intention was for Mooby to look similar enough to Mickey without risking a lawsuit from Disney.

Presumably, Damon and Affleck did a completely different film of the same title in The View Askewniverse.
