Clerks II: Difference between revisions

** Emma's hatred of New Jersey is apparently inspired by Jennifer Schwalbach Smith's own distaste for the state.

* [[Actor Shared Background]]: Jay's story of how he and Silent Bob finally sobered up parallels that of Jay's actor Jason Mewes, including being arrested for driving around with a deployed airbag.

{{quote| '''Elias:''' I turn down chicks left and right!<br />

'''Randall:''' Your chicks are your "left" and "right". }}

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Right after Elias removed the "I eat cock" sign from his picture on the wall and walks away, Randal while following him, slaps a brand new sign right on there without missing a beat.

* [[Deliberately Monochrome]]: The first and last shots of the film except for the flames inside the Quick Stop. See [[Continuity Nod]].

*** Variant: As mentioned in the commentary, the entire film was desaturated after filming, because the colors were far too bright and cheery. The dance scene where everything is brighter? That's how everything actually looked!

* [[The Devil]]: Randal at one points [[Crowning Moment of Funny|taunts Elias]], a devout Christian, by talking about "...the Beast we call the Desolate One! The First of the Fallen, the Spoiler of Virgins, the Master of Abortions! (grabs mike) ''Let me help you out of your chair, Grandma!''"

* [[Everyone Went to School Together]]: "Anyone else from our graduating class back there?" This, in fact, seems to be a recurring theme throughout the Askewniverse.

* [[Extremely Short Timespan]]: Apart from the opening and the closing scenes, the movie takes place over one day, just like ''Clerks''.

** It's revealed in the commentary that Smith didn't even realize it until Rosario told him [[Lampshade Hanging|the fans were really going to like this scene]].

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: Did Becky REALLY get {{spoiler|mayonnaise in her vagina having sex with Dante}} as she claimed, or was it...?

** For the full scene, see [[N-Word Privileges]].

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Dante and Randal, and of course Jay and Silent Bob.

* [[High School Rejects]]: Lance Dowd implies that this is what Dante and Randal are, while Jay and Silent Bob are pure examples.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Randal and Dante.

* [[N-Word Privileges]]: The ''only'' time Becky loses her cool is when Randall says [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0R3OjMcOqg "Porch Monkey," then "Nigger,"] then launches into a series of other similar epithets. Dante also loses it, but A) He's always losing it. B) He's white. C) Becky is ''way'' more pissed off than him.

** This was, notably, ''directly'' in front of a pair of black customers.

* [[Oh Crap]]: Dante's discovery of the Quick Stop being on fire at the beginning of the film.

** Dante has another one when Emma catches him snogging Becky during the donkey show.

* [[Shout-Out]]:

* [[Silent Bob]]: Three guesses, no dice.

* [[Smug Snake]]: Lance Dowds, although being reminded of his "Picklefucker" past takes some of his edge off.
