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_1ba17583 | comment |
The Ghost: A literal example with Rand and Brodie's Cousin Walter (Word of God confirms that all three are distant relatives), who dies via autofellatio before the events of the franchise and therefore isn't in any of the movies, but whose sexual deviancy is a frequent topic of discussion among the two surviving characters. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
The View Askewniverse / int_1dfbbf31 | comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: A big trademark of Smith's is that the leads of these films are often a male duo of this variety: Dante and Randall, Brodie and T.S., Banky and Holden, Bartlebee and Loki and of course the trope namers themselves, Jay and Silent Bob. | |

Speech-Centric Work: Even Smith acknowledges that his movies lack real visual panache, but Clerks was a success based entirely on how witty and memorable the dialogue was. Roger Ebert also praised Chasing Amy for an extended scene where Holden asks Alyssa questions about lesbians and held nothing back. | |

It Will Never Catch On | |
The View Askewniverse / int_3149c4b0 | comment |
It Will Never Catch On/Vindicated by History: Kevin Smith was told during production of Mallrats that a gag where semen gets stuck in Joey Lauren Adams' hair had to be cut. Because it was gross, would never sell and it would doom the movie, etc. Except for, you know, that other movie that did it three years later and grossed over 350 million freakin' dollars. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism: Clerks was a pretty bleak and cynical film for the most part. Some of the later films were more in the middle. Every film from Clerks II and onward has leaned more towards the idealistic end. | |

Punny Name: In Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Federal Wildlife Marshal Willenholly is named for the characters Marshall, Will and Holly on Land of the Lost (1974). Made even more amusing because the character in question is played by Will Ferrell, and Ferrell later starred in the Land of the Lost feature film. | |

Anachronic Order: Mallrats is the second film in the series, but actually occurs on the day before the events of Clerks. The rest of the films are chronological, but the comics are set at points throughout the history (one of them is actually the earliest occurring story). And no one knows when - or even if - the animated series fits in. | |

One Degree of Separation | |
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. | |

Mean Boss | |
The View Askewniverse / int_a10775b7 | comment |
Mean Boss: Apparently, Dante and Randal's boss. In Clerks, he went to Vermont, leaving Dante stuck at work for the entire day despite assuring him he'll only be working a few hours. In Episode 4 of the cartoon, he didn't hire a lawyer for Dante even though he said he would. | |

Real Women Don't Wear Dresses/Most Writers Are Male: The Askewniverse does not lack well-written female characters by any means. Feminine women, on the other hand, are practically non-existent. | |

Cameo | |
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. | |

Shout-Out | |
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. | |

"Will Return" Caption: Some of the films parody this with a "Jay and Silent Bob will return" caption, referring to two characters who are usually recurring minor ones rather than a hero. | |

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. | |

Continuity Snarl: In Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Matt Damon appearing As Himself references acting in Dogma, while several other references in the same film clearly establish the events of that film as having happened. Presumably, Damon and Affleck did a completely different film of the same title in The View Askewniverse. | |
