I've been hearing for years how this is such a hilarious movie, etc. etc.
I bought it because I found it discounted for like $9 bucks.
It's second only to Harold & Kumar in suckiness. It sucked so bad.

"You know, there's a million fine looking women in the world, dude. But they don't all bring you lasagna at work. Most of 'em just cheat on you." Wonderful movie.

No doubt, Harold and Kumar and Office Space are up there on my funnies, but Clerks is a cult favorite. I did not find Clerks to be as funny as I was led to be either, but I do understand that it was influential for our generation during the 90s. Kevin Smith is a genius. :beer:

You're burnt dude. Clerks was hilarious. I was like 8 when it came out, and I love it any way.

No, he's entirely right. It's crap. Pure crap. So was Dogma, and everything else Kevin Smith has touched.

Complete shite.

"My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!"
"In a row?"

One of my favorite movies, you may need a new humor detection module.

Dogma is NOT as good as everyone says, but I loved clerks.

"I'm not even supposed to be here today!" :D I pull that one here at work when I cover extra shifts and stuff goes wrong. Only a few of my coworkers get it.

So there's me an Amy, and we're allinseparable, right? Just big time in
love. And then about four months in,I ask about the ex-boyfriend. Dumb
move, I know, but you know how it is - you don't really want to know, but you
just have to... stupid guy bulls****. Anyway she starts telling me all about
him - how they dated for years, lived together, her mother likes me better,
blah, blah, blah - and I'm okay. But then she tells me that a couple times,
he brought other people to bed with them - menage a tois, I believe it's
called. Now this just blows my mind. I mean, I'm not used to that sort of
thing, right? I was raised Catholic. So I get weirded out, and just start
blasting her, right? This is the only way I can deal with it - by calling
her a slut, and telling her that she was used - I mean, I'm out for blood I
want to hurt her - because I don't know how to deal with what I'm
feeling. And I'm like "What the f**** is wrong with you?" and she's telling
me that it was that time, in that place, and she didn't do anything
wrong, so she's not gonna apologize. So I tell her it's over, and I walk.
No, idiot. It was a mistake. I wasn't disgusted with her, I was
afraid. At that moment, I felt small - like I'd lacked experience, like I'd
never be on her level or never be enough for her or something.
And what I didn't get was that she didn't care. She wasn't looking for
that guy anymore. She was looking for me. But by the time I realized this,
it was too late, you know. She'd moved on, and all I had to show for it
was some foolish pride, which then gave way to regret. She was the girl,
I know that now. But I pushed her away...So I've spent every day since then
chasing Amy...So to speak.

I admit Harold and Kumar was about the dumbest thing ever... but Clerks is one of my all-time favorites. I'm a big Kevin Smith fan as well (my copy is signed ;)), so I guess I'm a little biased. To each his own.

Sorry you didn't like it.

How'd you manage to get your copy signed Adam? I have every movie View Askew has put out, including Jersey Girl, but sadly none has been autographed. :(

Kevin Smith spoke at my college and he was happy to sign it afterwards. You can also buy signed copies (if they are in stock) at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash (google it, cool online store). It was much cooler to have him do it in person though. Mr. Smith is a really good guy :)
