Sycophancy Level: 3/10Jay and Silent Bob are fictional characters portrayed by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, respectively, in Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse, a fictional universe created and used in most films, comics and television by Smith, which began in Clerks.
Jay and Silent Bob have appeared in most of Smith's films with the exceptions being Jersey Girl, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Cop Out, and Red State. In Smith's universe, the characters are shown spending most of their time selling marijuana in front of the convenience store in theClerks films. An exception to their drug trafficking occurred in Clerks: The Animated Series, in which they were selling illegal fireworks instead of drugs.
The duo express a great interest in John Hughes' films such as Sixteen Candles, the film Purple Rain, the heavy metal musician King Diamond, shown in Clerks II, when Silent Bob is asked to put on music and plays the song "Welcome Home" from King Diamond's 1988 album, Them, the funk and dance-pop ensemble Morris Day and the Time, Canadian "melo-drama" television shows such as Degrassi The Next Generation, Buffalo Bill's infamous nude dancing scene (to the song "Goodbye Horses") from The Silence of the Lambs, as well as in X-Men.
Jay and Silent Bob are said to have been born in Leonardo, New Jersey in the early 1970s. They met as infants in front of Quick Stop Groceries while their mothers shopped inside RST Video as seen in the film Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
Silent Bob's distinguishing features are his heavy smoking, long coat, dark hair, beard, and backwards baseball cap. He was raised Catholic, and is a gadgetry genius. True to his name, Silent Bob rarely speaks but when he does he often has something profound or thoughtful to say, delivering insightful monologues to the other characters only in appropriate situations. Otherwise he relies on hand gestures and facial expressions to communicate. Jay once mentioned that Silent Bob rarely speaks because he feels he leaves a major impact when he does speak. Silent Bob is often agitated towards Jay and whenever Silent Bob does speak, he will sometimes criticize Jay. In Clerks: The Animated Series, Bob is called "Blutarsky", but according to Smith, it was only a joke that referenced "Animal House" and he never gave Bob a last name.
Jay is thinner and slightly taller than Bob, and has long blond hair. In several of the later View Askewniverse films, Jay wears a black toque. In contrast to Bob, Jay speaks quite frequently and crudely and often treats people with cruelty or disrespect, including Silent Bob. Jay's excessive cursing seems due to influence from his overbearing mother, who is shown continually using profanity in front of him. His first word was "fuck". In Clerks, the first film to feature the duo, Jay wears a baseball cap.
Torgo the White’s Annual Progress ReportI can’t understand the blonde one at all. What is snootchies? Is it dirty?
