The second, filmed in Hollywood, starred Jay and Silent Bob for three Jokers; the recently fired [[ButtMonkey Rob Emmer]] went during Sal's turn and pleaded for his job while pitifully pantsing.

** During Joe's turn in a round of Can't Touch This, the other Jokers purposely decide to screw with him by having him chase the laser pointer dot around the mall, not even stopping on a single person. When Joe eventually is run ragged and collapses on the floor, the dot stops on his crotch, he touches it, and abruptly loses the challenge with a score of 1.



* KillItWithFire: During one round of Risky Readers, after Q persuades a young woman to let him read entries from his (fake) daughter's diary, the entries seem relatively innocuous until he gets to a part that has the daughter gush about her [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything vividly-described desire for hot dogs]]. After the challenge is won, the woman promptly encourages Q to [[FieryCoverUp burn the diary and leave no evidence of him having ever read it]].
