Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back: Difference between revisions

** Also for the first time ever Mark Hamill performs his famous [[Batman: The Animated Series|"Joker Voice"]] on-camera, [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|and it is glorious.]]

*** Back to the first Mark Hamill example:

* [[Adam Westing]]: [[Ben Affleck]], [[Mark Hamill]] and a whole slew of other Hollywood personalities poke fun at themselves.

* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: "''The tenor of Tinsletown is one of terror today...''"

* [[Aside Glance]]: Three of them, including one from Kevin Smith right after the quote at the top of this page.

* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: Implied.

'''Security Guard''': Well, soon you'll be the pie. }}

* [[Brick Joke]]: [[George Carlin|A hitchhiker]], towards the beginning of the film, advises Jay and Silent Bob to offer to go down on potential drivers to get rides. It...doesn't work...with the nun... When the two finally arrive in Hollywood, nearer the tail end of the film, Jay can be "seen" going down on the hot woman who gave them a lift.

* [[Cat Fight]]: played for perfect laughs after building up both of the film's [[Action Girl|Action Girls]] to a ridiculous degree--it degrades for a moment into slaps and hair pulling--to [[Fan Service|Jay and Silent Bob's delight]].

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: Jay is a walking CFB, but other characters get to join in on the fun, too; the word is said 248 times over the course of the film.

* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]

* [[Conspiracy Theorist]]: Jay's very strange [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_Pd0IW0khk super monkey theory].

* [[Continuity Nod]]: These seem to be the film's only purpose:

** ''[[Clerks]]'':

'''Dante:''' Don't get me started. }}

*** Later in the film, Dante exclaims "I'm not even supposed to be here today!" during Jay's super-monkey [[Imagine Spot]], while having his brain experimented on by super-apes. And the Quick Stop looks exactly the same as in ''Clerks'', right down to the shoe-polish sign and the same ancient TV.

*** When everyone comes out of the premiere of ''Bluntman & Chronic'' at the end, Willam Black (the Scott Mosier version) can be seen looking at the lights lighting the overhang of the theater. He says "That's beautiful, man"...exactly as he did when he first appeared in ''Clerks''.

** ''[[Mallrats]]:''

*** The above doubles as a reference to the first episode of ''[[Clerks the Animated Series]]'', in which the wholly ignorant Randal claims to have his "hand on the pulse of the community."

*** Silent Bob is finally able to use the Force after trying so hard in ''[[Mallrats]]''.

*** Brodie is seen running a comic book store, even though at the end of ''Mallrats'' he went on to host the [[Tonight Show]]. There is a large poster in the store of a ''Variety'' article with the title "Brody Bolts" indicating that he left the show of his own accord.

** ''[[Chasing Amy]]'':

*** And later, on the set of the ''Bluntman and Chronic'' film, the director tells Banky he's a tracer, not an inker, and that ''[[Dramatic Irony|no one ever had the heart to tell him.]]''

*** The first few bars of the ''[[Chasing Amy]]'' theme (Dave Pirner's "Tube Of Wonderful") plays when Jay and Silent Bob go visit Holden.

*** Holden's first words to Jay and Silent Bob when they show up mirrors Jay's line to Holden at the beginning of his scene in ''[[Chasing Amy]]'': "Look at these morose motherfuckers right here. Looks like someone took a shit in their cereal." (This even receives a [[Lampshade Hanging]] in a deleted scene; Holden says he's been waiting years to deliver the line.)

** ''[[Dogma]]'':

*** Jay drops a surprisingly subtle one towards the beginning of the film:

*** Judd Nelson, who had received praise from Jay for his performance in ''[[The Breakfast Club]]'' as the only part Jay found watchable ("that dude was fucking harsh"), appears here as a Utah sheriff.

*** The Buddy Christ from ''[[Dogma]]'' appears on the dashboard of a nun who gives Jay and Silent Bob a lift.

** The Russian website kino-govno.com borrows its name from the Russian [[Woolseyism]]-laden translation's rendition of Moviepoopshoot.com (the title literally means "film-shit.com"). The site's creators are self-confessed huge fans of [[Kevin Smith]].

* [[Description Cut]]: Justice claims that Jay "has manners", whereupon we immediately see Jay screaming obscenities at passersby.

* [[Discontinuity Nod]]: Jason Biggs, having not read the script, mistakenly refers to Jay as "Ray". When ABC tried to turn ''[[Clerks]]'' into a TV show in the 1990s, Smith tried to prevent it from happening by exploiting his ownership of Jay (Silent Bob was not in the pilot.) ABC responded by changing the character's name to Ray. (The pilot in question was ''not'' for ''[[Clerks the Animated Series]]'', which--unlike this pilot--was animated, and kept the cast of the original film as well as Smith and Mosier on board.)

* [[Doing It for the Art|Doing It For The Fans]]: Kevin Smith has gone on record saying the movie is a love letter to the fans after all the years of support for his work, which is why he tried to work in as many references to all previous films he could and centered the entire movie around [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Jay and Silent Bob]] in the first place.

* [[Dramatic Irony]]: Two instances of the comedic variety. In one scene, the titular duo are posing as extras on a movie set and receive these instructions from the director...

'''Jay:''' (''to Bob'') [[Lampshade Hanging|That's pretty funny.]] }}

** The second instance is on the set of the ''Bluntman and Chronic'' film. See [[Continuity Nod]] above.

* [[Gasshole]]: One of the girls flatulence is so loud it triggers a security system.

* [[Groin Attack]]

'''[[Mark Hamill]] as Cockknocker:''' ''Actually'', it's a funny story -true story, by the way- {{spoiler|'''*BOOOM*'''}} }}

* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Justice giving herself up to clear Jay and Silent Bob's names.}}

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Well, DUH.

* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Spoofed openly with [[Mark Hamill]]'s appearance in the film.

** And Carrie Fischer as a nun. This was the first time since ''Return of the Jedi'' that she appeared in a film with Mark Hamill.

** In a blink and you miss it cameo, [[DCAU|Paul Dini]] as a clapboard operator for the Bluntman and Chronic movie.

* [[Ho Yay]]: Jay likes to constantly remind everyone within earshot that he likes the ladies, then he or Silent Bob says or does something suggesting that he is deep deep in the closet. Silent Bob is guilty, too, only he doesn't say much or deny much.

* [[The Internet Is for Porn]] And For Bitching About Movies.

** Critic [[Roger Ebert]] comments "This is a much more sophisticated idea of the Net than we find in high-tech cyberthrillers, where the Net is a place that makes your computer beep a lot."

* [[Internet Tough Guy]]: Subverted in that Jay and Bob have never been on the internet before, and have no concept of [[GIFT]] or what a [[Troll]] is and take the trash talk seriously. They also subvert the hell out of this trope by {{spoiler|actually going around the country to beat the crap out of all the bratty kids who insulted them.}}

* [[Production Posse]]: Since this was going to be the last View Askewniverse film, Kevin Smith got pretty much everyone who had even a minor role in the previous films to come back and at least make a cameo.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: From Silent Bob, believe it or not.

* [[Punny Name]]: Will Ferrell's character, [[Land of the Lost (TV series)|Marshall Willenholly]].

** Unintentionally referential, seeing the movie Will Ferrell stars in later on...

* [[Shout-Out]]: Again, plenty of them, usually working in tandem with [[The Cameo|the cameos]].

** Here's an example of one of the less subtle ones:

** The guard at Miramax studios calls to [[Star Wars|Echo Base]] on his walkie-talkie.

** The movie poster for Bluntman and Chronic has a similar design and title font to [[Batman: The Animated Series]].

* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: Several times, most notably: "''call me Boo Boo Kitty Fuck, bitch!''"

* [[Those Two Actors]]: Lampshaded with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

'''Ben:''' [[Dude, Not Funny|See, that's just mean.]] }}

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: When Justice tells Jay that women don't like to be called bitches, and she asks him to call her something nice:

'''Justice:''' That's...a start. }}

* [[The View Askewniverse]]: As mentioned above, this was originally planned to be the last film in it; this fact is punctuated by {{spoiler|God (Alanis Morrisette reprising her ''Dogma'' role) showing a page within a book that simply says "The End" before closing the book, which has "The View Askewniverse" on the cover. Kevin Smith notes in the bonus features for [[Clerks II]] that the "The End" page is actually in the middle of the book. Whether this was intentional or if Smith is covering his ass there is not given.}}
