Ten years after the events in ''Clerks'', Dante opens up the shutters on the Quick Stop windows to find that the store's on fire (thanks to Randal leaving the coffee pot on [[OhNoNotAgain ...again]]). Cut to about a year later when Dante and Randal are working at the local Mooby's franchise, and Dante is working his last day since he's getting ready to move and get married. Of course, things never quite go according to plan in the View Askewniverse...

* ColorWash: Kevin Smith had asked director of photographer Dave Klein to have the colors in the film desaturated, to give an effect similar to the original film's [[DeliberatelyMonochrome black & white]]. The dance scene where everything is all bright and cheery? That's how everything actually looked!



* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The first and last shots of the film except for the flames inside the Quick Stop (see ContinuityNod), which were the last shots filmed. Creator/KevinSmith has said that if he'd known the black and white could look as good as it did he probably would have shot the entire film that way. For the rest of the movie, see ColorWash above.

* ItTastesLikeFeet: Jay and Silent Bob can apparently identify the taste of the burger and the drink Lance Dowds gives them as "piss and flies."" Subverted in that they're factually correct: Randal scooped up ice from a urinal for the drink and put flies into the burger to get back at Lance.
