[[quoteright:347:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ClerksII_2238.jpg]]
The 2006 sequel to the classic independent comedy film ''{{Clerks}}'', and for now, the final film in the ViewAskewniverse.
Ten years after the events in ''Clerks'', Dante opens up the shutters on the Quick Stop windows to find that's the store's on fire (thanks to Randal leaving the coffee pot on). Cut to about a year later: Dante and Randal are working at the local Mooby's franchise, and Dante is working his last day since he's getting ready to be married. Of course, things never quite go according to plan in the ViewAskewniverse...
----
!!This film provides examples of:
* ActorAllusion:
** Jay's gone through rehab and no longer does drugs (despite still dealing them); Jason Mewes also went to rehab prior to filming this movie (allegedly, Kevin Smith would not allow him to be in the movie unless he cleaned himself up). Unlike Jay, however, Mewes has not become a Christian, or at least not a devout one; this change in Jay's character is more than likely inspired by the events of ''{{Dogma}}''.
** Emma's hatred of New Jersey is apparently inspired by Jennifer Schwalbach Smith's own distaste for the state.
* ActorSharedBackground: 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.
* ADateWithRosiePalms:
-->'''Elias:''' I turn down chicks left and right!
-->'''Randall:''' Your chicks are your "left" and "right".
* AesopAmnesia: Of a sort, Jay and Silent Bob are both now "Born Again" Christians, even though their experiences in ''Dogma'' would mean they were enlightened to the idea that none of the religious texts are accurate.
* AllThereInTheManual: ''Where's the Beef'', a comic chronicling the year in between the Quick Stop burning and Dante and Randal's arrival at Mooby's.
* [[AngryBlackMan Angry Black Woman]]: WandaSykes' character unloads on Randal when he says "porch monkey" and a host of other racial slurs openly in front of her. Meanwhile, her husband (played by comedian Earthquake) doesn't really give a damn and just wants the food.
** "Baby, you can't taste racism!"
*** It's revealed in the bonus features that the majority of that scene was ad-libbed.
*** Also a minor case of HypocriticalHumor, since before Randal insults her, she and her husband were talking about Mexican immigrants using equally offensive language.
* TheBear: Kinky Kelly's assistant ([[spoiler:later revealed to be his partner]]). Though he's never explicitly mentioned as being gay, he fits the other parts of the trope to a T.
** I mean, that ''is'' [[spoiler: a male donkey he's fucking. Although when it's another animal, perhaps the gender aspect goes out the window.]]
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Dante and Randall discuss the merits of female version of this trope.
-->'''Dante:''' You wouldn't wanna be with a girl with an oversized clit?
-->'''Randal:''' No! Cause the next stop is [[UnfortunateImplications a guy with an undersized dick!]]
* BoldlyComing: A DiscussedTrope during a SeinfeldianConversation between Jay and Silent Bob.
* {{Bookends}}: For the film alone, as well as the entire ViewAskewniverse. The film starts out in black and white, just like ''{{Clerks}}'', then ends with black and white. ''{{Clerks}}'' was the first View Askew film, this one was the last (for now).
* BrandX: Mooby's, of course.
** And, if you look close at the end of the film, [[spoiler:you can see a poster for Nails Cigarettes on the door of the rebuilt Quick Stop]].
* ButtMonkey: Elias (and to a lesser extent, Dante)
* ButYouScrewOneGoat: ...er, pickle.
* TheCameo: Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Wanda Sykes, Scott Mosier, and even Kevin Smith's young daughter, [[AwesomeMcCoolname Harley Quinn Smith]].
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The ''Bluntman and Chronic'' film from ''JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'', which is the reason Jay and Silent Bob have fifty grand to spend on reopening the Quick Stop and RST Video]].
* ClusterFBomb: Practically the entire cast says it at least once, but Randal and Dante are probably the worst offenders this time around.
* 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 only scene without it is the dancing scene.
* ContinuityNod
** During Randal's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Dante, Dante interjects: "And what should I do if I was half the master of my own destiny the great Randal Graves is?" Randal calls himself a "master of his own destiny" in ''Clerks'' after winning the "title-dictates-behavior" argument.
** Dante helps Becky with her nail polish in the back of the store, just like he did with Veronica.
*** And, moreover, Jeff Anderson (Randal) flubbed the line "what smells like nail polish?" on the first take. Instead, he said "What smells like shoe polish?" The line got changed to "Why does it smell so funny in here?" as a result.
** Randal puts an "I EAT COCK" sign on Elias's employee-of-the-month photo that looks exactly like the one Jay puts on the door of the Quick Stop and gets Randal to stand near in ''Clerks''.
** Randal's "Rangle" walk pops up again during the dance number.
** The first movie is outright mentioned during the [[spoiler:jail scene]], specifically Julie Dwyer's funeral and the "shit or get off the pot" dialogue. Randal also makes reference to how Dante always seems to have two hot girls fighting over him when Dante tells him [[spoiler:Becky's pregnant.]]
** In a nod to a more recent part of continuity, Jay's shirt reads "[[JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack Justice TLF]]" in one scene.
*** And not so recent: During Randal's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Dante, he points out the lack of sense in their choice of college courses: "One semester we took criminology, for Christ's sake! Who are we studying to be, Batman?" Cue [[{{Mallrats}} Jay and Silent Bob grinning at each other]].
** The film overloads on these in the last five minutes.
*** "[[spoiler:I assure you, we're re-opened!]]"
*** "[[spoiler:You know what? You're not even supposed to be here today.]]"
*** "[[spoiler:Pack o' cigarettes]]?" and the return of [[spoiler:the woolen-cap smoker, courtesy of Walt Flanagan.]]
*** [[spoiler:The "milk maid" is also the same woman (Kevin Smith's mother, to be exact) from ''Clerks'']].
*** The songs over the end credits to both films are Soul Asylum songs.
* CrazyPrepared: 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.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The first and last shots of the film except for the flames inside the Quick Stop. See ContinuityNod.
** They 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.
*** 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!
* TheDevil: Randal at one points [[CrowningMomentOfFunny 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!''"
* DiegeticSwitch: The song played at the end of the movie - "Misery" by Soul Asylum - was actually played from a stereo from off camera (so the actors could hear it) and only switches to non-diagetic once the credits kick in.
* {{Dismotivation}}: Played pretty much straight with Dante until the end of the film, where [[spoiler:he and Randal decide to buy the Quick Stop and reopen it themselves]].
* DumbassHasAPoint: Eternal slacker Randal puts forward the notion that for all the crap they went through working there, both he and Dante were happiest when they were working at the Quick Stop.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: "Anyone else from our graduating class back there?" This, in fact, seems to be a recurring theme throughout the Askewniverse.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Apart from the opening and the closing scenes, the movie takes place over one day, just like ''Clerks''.
* {{Fanservice}}: Rosario Dawson dancing on the rooftop of Mooby's. In a tank top. With no bra on. God bless you, Creator/KevinSmith.
** It's revealed in the commentary that Smith didn't even realize it until Rosario told him [[LampshadeHanging the fans were really going to like this scene]].
* FridgeBrilliance: Did Becky REALLY get [[spoiler:mayonnaise in her vagina having sex with Dante]] as she claimed, or was it...?
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Dante and Randal having a conversation while Jay is bouncing his bare ass against the window, while Bob is making funny faces, switching to Jay pretending to be using a speed bag.
* GroinAttack: Emma to Dante.
* HeadTiltinglyKinky: The donkey show. They even perform the action while watching it.

* HighSchoolRejects: Lance Dowd implies that this is what Dante and Randal are, while Jay and Silent Bob are pure examples.
* HoYay: Randal and Dante.

** Jay demands that Dante and Randal engage in oral sex before he'll give them the money. Bob gives him a funny look and he takes it back. In a cut scene, Bob follows up with "I just think you're a deeply-repressed gay man."
* InnocentBigot: Randal didn't realize his RacistGrandma taught him some unfortunate terminology.
* InternalHomage: Randal dragging Elias into Mooby's from off-screen the second he walks in the door, just as Dante does to Randal at the end of ''Clerks'' to start their fight scene.
** The shot of Becky [[spoiler:changing the light bulb over the rebuilt Quick Stop counter is set up just like the shot of Dante doing the same when the horny old man asks to use the restroom in ''Clerks'', as part of the last five minute's Hurricane of Continuity Nods]].
* {{Infodump}}: Becky and Dante's conversation while he's painting her nails.
* InsistentTerminology: "Oy, fucko...we prefer to call it inter-species erotica."
* InsultBackfire:
--> '''Pot-buying teen''': Is that a fucking Bible?
--> '''Jay''': Hey, hey, the HOLY fucking Bible, son.
* ItGotWorse: When Dante gets back to Mooby's after looking for Becky. You think it can't get any worse for him... then the cops turn up. With a fire truck right by.
* ItTastesLikeFeet: Jay and Bob can apparently identify the taste of "piss and flies."
* JerkAss: Randall, and Lance.
* TheMountainsOfIllinois: Well, Mountains of New Jersey in this case, seen in the background during the scenes at the go-kart track.
** New Jersey actually does have mountains.
* NerdsAreVirgins: Elias, although according to him it's because he's afraid of [[VaginaDentata Pillow Pants]]. It's interesting to note that Randal is not less nerdy than Elias; Elias is simply more dorky, and yet he has a girlfriend and not Randal. Dante is as nerdy as both of them and is definitely not a virgin. Make of that what you will.
* NWordPrivileges: 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.
* NeverLiveItDown: An InUniverse example is Lance Dowds, aka "Picklefucker."
* OhCrap: 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.
* OneSceneWonder: Hey kids, its Jason Lee/Ben Affleck/Ethan Suplee/Earthquake/Wanda Sykes/Kevin's Mom!
** [[JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack (APPLAUSE)]]
* OnlyFriend: Dante to Randal, which is why Randal is so rattled by the thought of Dante leaving.
-->'''Randal:''' You think I wanna start making friends at my age? Christ, who would want me as their friend? I hate everyone, and everything seems stupid to me, but you were always the counter-balance to that. The guy who was the yin to my yang. Now what the fuck am I gonna do for the rest of my life?
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Randal to Dante, at the end of the movie.
* PornStache: Ben Affleck's character.
* ProductionPosse: Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, and [[CaptainObvious of course]] Brian O'Halloran and Jason Mewes.
* RacistGrandma: Randal's called him a "porch monkey" and referred to a broken bottle as a "nigger knife."
** And said that mistreated Jewish children [[RefugeInAudacity would put a Sheeny Curse on you]]. Good lord.
-->'''Randal''': She just liked to say "Sheeny curse" a lot. It was cute!
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Dante tries to blame his life's failures on Randall, he loses it and tells Dante exactly what his problem is.
* RunningGag: Randal mixing up Anne Frank and Helen Keller.
** And near the end of the film, the aforementioned InsistentTerminology.
* SeinfeldianConversation: Not so prevalent as in the original, but very much there at certain points.
* SeriousBusiness:
--> '''Elias''': Not the [[TheLordOfTheRings Rings]], Randal. Say what you will about Jesus, but leave the Rings out of this.
** And from Randal...
--> '''Randal''': [[StarWars There is only one trilogy, you fucking morons!]]
* ShoutOut:
** Early on in the movie Emma delivers this line to Dante: [[SpiderMan "Face it, Tiger. You just hit the jackpot!"]]
** "May your first child be a masculine child!" is a quote from ''Film/TheGodfather''.
* SilentBob: Three guesses, no dice.
* SmugSnake: Lance Dowds, although being reminded of his "Picklefucker" past takes some of his edge off.
* SplashOfColor: The flames inside the Quick Stop at the beginning of the film.
* StealthPun: The beginning depicts what might be described as "Dante's inferno."
** Made less stealthy by the chapter titles on the DVD, which are all named for literary classics. Guess what the first scene is called.
* StunnedSilence: Randall, series snarker, who has a smart ass retort for almost anything, is simply rendered near speechless by the "Pillowpants" discussion.
* TakeThat: The film features a 3-minute debate on ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', with Randal calling the movies boring and saying in jest that there should've been a Hobbit sex scene. He mocks the movie so much that he causes a [=LotR=] fan (who is a customer at the restaurant) to vomit in disgust.
* VaginaDentata: Pillowpants the Pussy Troll. End of discussion.
* TheVoiceless: Like with all ViewAskewniverse films, averted with Silent Bob, this time at the end of the film.
-->" I got nothin'."
* VomitIndiscretionShot: When Randal makes ''TheLordOfTheRings'' fan throw up.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[ExecutiveMeddling Bob Weinstein]] wanted "Pillowpants" to turn out to be real, but ultimately decided that was too silly when Smith explained why it was funnier the way it was.
* YouMakeMeSic: Inverted when Elias looks at the "I EAT COCK" word bubble Randal put on his employee of the month picture and says, "Well at least you spelled cock right this time."
* YourAnswerToEverything: When Silent Bob finally speaks, but has no advice relevant to the conversation, Jay rips on him about it, only for Silent Bob to point out:
--> What do you ever contribute to the proceedings? You've got one answer for everything: "Pussy, man."

The 2006 sequel to the classic independent comedy film ''{{Clerks}}'', and for now, the final film in the ViewAskewniverse.
Ten years after the events in ''Clerks'', Dante opens up the shutters on the Quick Stop windows to find that's the store's on fire (thanks to Randal leaving the coffee pot on). Cut to about a year later: Dante and Randal are working at the local Mooby's franchise, and Dante is working his last day since he's getting ready to be married. Of course, things never quite go according to plan in the ViewAskewniverse...
----
!!This film provides examples of:
* ActorAllusion:
** Jay's gone through rehab and no longer does drugs (despite still dealing them); Jason Mewes also went to rehab prior to filming this movie (allegedly, Kevin Smith would not allow him to be in the movie unless he cleaned himself up). Unlike Jay, however, Mewes has not become a Christian, or at least not a devout one; this change in Jay's character is more than likely inspired by the events of ''{{Dogma}}''.
** Emma's hatred of New Jersey is apparently inspired by Jennifer Schwalbach Smith's own distaste for the state.
* ActorSharedBackground: 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.
* ADateWithRosiePalms:
-->'''Elias:''' I turn down chicks left and right!
-->'''Randall:''' Your chicks are your "left" and "right".
* AesopAmnesia: Of a sort, Jay and Silent Bob are both now "Born Again" Christians, even though their experiences in ''Dogma'' would mean they were enlightened to the idea that none of the religious texts are accurate.
* AllThereInTheManual: ''Where's the Beef'', a comic chronicling the year in between the Quick Stop burning and Dante and Randal's arrival at Mooby's.
* [[AngryBlackMan Angry Black Woman]]: WandaSykes' character unloads on Randal when he says "porch monkey" and a host of other racial slurs openly in front of her. Meanwhile, her husband (played by comedian Earthquake) doesn't really give a damn and just wants the food.
** "Baby, you can't taste racism!"
*** It's revealed in the bonus features that the majority of that scene was ad-libbed.
*** Also a minor case of HypocriticalHumor, since before Randal insults her, she and her husband were talking about Mexican immigrants using equally offensive language.
* TheBear: Kinky Kelly's assistant ([[spoiler:later revealed to be his partner]]). Though he's never explicitly mentioned as being gay, he fits the other parts of the trope to a T.
** I mean, that ''is'' [[spoiler: a male donkey he's fucking. Although when it's another animal, perhaps the gender aspect goes out the window.]]
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Dante and Randall discuss the merits of female version of this trope.
-->'''Dante:''' You wouldn't wanna be with a girl with an oversized clit?
-->'''Randal:''' No! Cause the next stop is [[UnfortunateImplications a guy with an undersized dick!]]
* BoldlyComing: A DiscussedTrope during a SeinfeldianConversation between Jay and Silent Bob.
* {{Bookends}}: For the film alone, as well as the entire ViewAskewniverse. The film starts out in black and white, just like ''{{Clerks}}'', then ends with black and white. ''{{Clerks}}'' was the first View Askew film, this one was the last (for now).
* BrandX: Mooby's, of course.
** And, if you look close at the end of the film, [[spoiler:you can see a poster for Nails Cigarettes on the door of the rebuilt Quick Stop]].
* ButtMonkey: Elias (and to a lesser extent, Dante)
* ButYouScrewOneGoat: ...er, pickle.
* TheCameo: Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Wanda Sykes, Scott Mosier, and even Kevin Smith's young daughter, [[AwesomeMcCoolname Harley Quinn Smith]].
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The ''Bluntman and Chronic'' film from ''JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack'', which is the reason Jay and Silent Bob have fifty grand to spend on reopening the Quick Stop and RST Video]].
* ClusterFBomb: Practically the entire cast says it at least once, but Randal and Dante are probably the worst offenders this time around.
* 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 only scene without it is the dancing scene.
* ContinuityNod
** During Randal's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Dante, Dante interjects: "And what should I do if I was half the master of my own destiny the great Randal Graves is?" Randal calls himself a "master of his own destiny" in ''Clerks'' after winning the "title-dictates-behavior" argument.
** Dante helps Becky with her nail polish in the back of the store, just like he did with Veronica.
*** And, moreover, Jeff Anderson (Randal) flubbed the line "what smells like nail polish?" on the first take. Instead, he said "What smells like shoe polish?" The line got changed to "Why does it smell so funny in here?" as a result.
** Randal puts an "I EAT COCK" sign on Elias's employee-of-the-month photo that looks exactly like the one Jay puts on the door of the Quick Stop and gets Randal to stand near in ''Clerks''.
** Randal's "Rangle" walk pops up again during the dance number.
** The first movie is outright mentioned during the [[spoiler:jail scene]], specifically Julie Dwyer's funeral and the "shit or get off the pot" dialogue. Randal also makes reference to how Dante always seems to have two hot girls fighting over him when Dante tells him [[spoiler:Becky's pregnant.]]
** In a nod to a more recent part of continuity, Jay's shirt reads "[[JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack Justice TLF]]" in one scene.
*** And not so recent: During Randal's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Dante, he points out the lack of sense in their choice of college courses: "One semester we took criminology, for Christ's sake! Who are we studying to be, Batman?" Cue [[{{Mallrats}} Jay and Silent Bob grinning at each other]].
** The film overloads on these in the last five minutes.
*** "[[spoiler:I assure you, we're re-opened!]]"
*** "[[spoiler:You know what? You're not even supposed to be here today.]]"
*** "[[spoiler:Pack o' cigarettes]]?" and the return of [[spoiler:the woolen-cap smoker, courtesy of Walt Flanagan.]]
*** [[spoiler:The "milk maid" is also the same woman (Kevin Smith's mother, to be exact) from ''Clerks'']].
*** The songs over the end credits to both films are Soul Asylum songs.
* CrazyPrepared: 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.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The first and last shots of the film except for the flames inside the Quick Stop. See ContinuityNod.
** They 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.
*** 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!
* TheDevil: Randal at one points [[CrowningMomentOfFunny 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!''"
* DiegeticSwitch: The song played at the end of the movie - "Misery" by Soul Asylum - was actually played from a stereo from off camera (so the actors could hear it) and only switches to non-diagetic once the credits kick in.
* {{Dismotivation}}: Played pretty much straight with Dante until the end of the film, where [[spoiler:he and Randal decide to buy the Quick Stop and reopen it themselves]].
* DumbassHasAPoint: Eternal slacker Randal puts forward the notion that for all the crap they went through working there, both he and Dante were happiest when they were working at the Quick Stop.
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: "Anyone else from our graduating class back there?" This, in fact, seems to be a recurring theme throughout the Askewniverse.
* ExtremelyShortTimespan: Apart from the opening and the closing scenes, the movie takes place over one day, just like ''Clerks''.
* {{Fanservice}}: Rosario Dawson dancing on the rooftop of Mooby's. In a tank top. With no bra on. God bless you, Creator/KevinSmith.
** It's revealed in the commentary that Smith didn't even realize it until Rosario told him [[LampshadeHanging the fans were really going to like this scene]].
* FridgeBrilliance: Did Becky REALLY get [[spoiler:mayonnaise in her vagina having sex with Dante]] as she claimed, or was it...?
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Dante and Randal having a conversation while Jay is bouncing his bare ass against the window, while Bob is making funny faces, switching to Jay pretending to be using a speed bag.
* GroinAttack: Emma to Dante.
* HeadTiltinglyKinky: The donkey show. They even perform the action while watching it.
-->'''Becky:''' I'm disgusted and repulsed ...and I can't. Look. Away.
* HeelRealization: "My grandmother wasn't racist... although..."
** For the full scene, see NWordPrivileges.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Dante and Randal, and of course Jay and Silent Bob.
* HeyItsThatGuy: [[Series/{{Alias}} Marshall Flinkman]] takes LordOfTheRings [[SeriousBusiness very seriously]].
** [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Trigon The Terrible]] was really offended by Randall's [[RacistGrandma Poorch Monkey]] [[InnocentBigot 4 Life]] [[RunningGag Shirt]]
* HighSchoolRejects: Lance Dowd implies that this is what Dante and Randal are, while Jay and Silent Bob are pure examples.
* HoYay: Randal and Dante.
---> '''Randal''': ''(to Dante)'' You're my best friend, and I love you. In a totally non-gay way.
---> '''Jay''': ''(to Silent Bob)'' Yeah, right.
** Not to mention the fact that their every argument sounds like a lover's tiff.
** Jay demands that Dante and Randal engage in oral sex before he'll give them the money. Bob gives him a funny look and he takes it back. In a cut scene, Bob follows up with "I just think you're a deeply-repressed gay man."
* InnocentBigot: Randal didn't realize his RacistGrandma taught him some unfortunate terminology.
* InternalHomage: Randal dragging Elias into Mooby's from off-screen the second he walks in the door, just as Dante does to Randal at the end of ''Clerks'' to start their fight scene.
** The shot of Becky [[spoiler:changing the light bulb over the rebuilt Quick Stop counter is set up just like the shot of Dante doing the same when the horny old man asks to use the restroom in ''Clerks'', as part of the last five minute's Hurricane of Continuity Nods]].
* {{Infodump}}: Becky and Dante's conversation while he's painting her nails.
* InsistentTerminology: "Oy, fucko...we prefer to call it inter-species erotica."
* InsultBackfire:
--> '''Pot-buying teen''': Is that a fucking Bible?
--> '''Jay''': Hey, hey, the HOLY fucking Bible, son.
* ItGotWorse: When Dante gets back to Mooby's after looking for Becky. You think it can't get any worse for him... then the cops turn up. With a fire truck right by.
* ItTastesLikeFeet: Jay and Bob can apparently identify the taste of "piss and flies."
* JerkAss: Randall, and Lance.
* TheMountainsOfIllinois: Well, Mountains of New Jersey in this case, seen in the background during the scenes at the go-kart track.
** New Jersey actually does have mountains.
* NerdsAreVirgins: Elias, although according to him it's because he's afraid of [[VaginaDentata Pillow Pants]]. It's interesting to note that Randal is not less nerdy than Elias; Elias is simply more dorky, and yet he has a girlfriend and not Randal. Dante is as nerdy as both of them and is definitely not a virgin. Make of that what you will.
* NWordPrivileges: 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.
* NeverLiveItDown: An InUniverse example is Lance Dowds, aka "Picklefucker."
* OhCrap: 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.
* OneSceneWonder: Hey kids, its Jason Lee/Ben Affleck/Ethan Suplee/Earthquake/Wanda Sykes/Kevin's Mom!
** [[JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack (APPLAUSE)]]
* OnlyFriend: Dante to Randal, which is why Randal is so rattled by the thought of Dante leaving.
-->'''Randal:''' You think I wanna start making friends at my age? Christ, who would want me as their friend? I hate everyone, and everything seems stupid to me, but you were always the counter-balance to that. The guy who was the yin to my yang. Now what the fuck am I gonna do for the rest of my life?
* PleaseDontLeaveMe: Randal to Dante, at the end of the movie.
* PornStache: Ben Affleck's character.
* ProductionPosse: Ben Affleck, Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, and [[CaptainObvious of course]] Brian O'Halloran and Jason Mewes.
* RacistGrandma: Randal's called him a "porch monkey" and referred to a broken bottle as a "nigger knife."
** And said that mistreated Jewish children [[RefugeInAudacity would put a Sheeny Curse on you]]. Good lord.
-->'''Randal''': She just liked to say "Sheeny curse" a lot. It was cute!
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When Dante tries to blame his life's failures on Randall, he loses it and tells Dante exactly what his problem is.
* RunningGag: Randal mixing up Anne Frank and Helen Keller.
** And near the end of the film, the aforementioned InsistentTerminology.
* SeinfeldianConversation: Not so prevalent as in the original, but very much there at certain points.
* SeriousBusiness:
--> '''Elias''': Not the [[TheLordOfTheRings Rings]], Randal. Say what you will about Jesus, but leave the Rings out of this.
** And from Randal...
--> '''Randal''': [[StarWars There is only one trilogy, you fucking morons!]]
* ShoutOut:
** Early on in the movie Emma delivers this line to Dante: [[SpiderMan "Face it, Tiger. You just hit the jackpot!"]]
** "May your first child be a masculine child!" is a quote from ''Film/TheGodfather''.
* SilentBob: Three guesses, no dice.
* SmugSnake: Lance Dowds, although being reminded of his "Picklefucker" past takes some of his edge off.
* SplashOfColor: The flames inside the Quick Stop at the beginning of the film.
* StealthPun: The beginning depicts what might be described as "Dante's inferno."
** Made less stealthy by the chapter titles on the DVD, which are all named for literary classics. Guess what the first scene is called.
* StunnedSilence: Randall, series snarker, who has a smart ass retort for almost anything, is simply rendered near speechless by the "Pillowpants" discussion.
* TakeThat: The film features a 3-minute debate on ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', with Randal calling the movies boring and saying in jest that there should've been a Hobbit sex scene. He mocks the movie so much that he causes a [=LotR=] fan (who is a customer at the restaurant) to vomit in disgust.
* VaginaDentata: Pillowpants the Pussy Troll. End of discussion.
* TheVoiceless: Like with all ViewAskewniverse films, averted with Silent Bob, this time at the end of the film.
-->" I got nothin'."
* VomitIndiscretionShot: When Randal makes ''TheLordOfTheRings'' fan throw up.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[ExecutiveMeddling Bob Weinstein]] wanted "Pillowpants" to turn out to be real, but ultimately decided that was too silly when Smith explained why it was funnier the way it was.
* YouMakeMeSic: Inverted when Elias looks at the "I EAT COCK" word bubble Randal put on his employee of the month picture and says, "Well at least you spelled cock right this time."
* YourAnswerToEverything: When Silent Bob finally speaks, but has no advice relevant to the conversation, Jay rips on him about it, only for Silent Bob to point out:
--> What do you ever contribute to the proceedings? You've got one answer for everything: "Pussy, man."
