{{Main|Clerks (film)}}
''Clerks'', released in 1994, is the first film to feature Jay and Silent Bob. In the View Askewniverse timeline, it takes place the day after ''[[Mallrats]]''. Jay and Silent Bob return to their primary business location in front of Quick Stop. Throughout the day, they are seen dancing, loitering, and harassing pedestrians. Silent Bob enters the store to buy powdered sugar while Jay goes inside to steal food. They deal marijuana to various people (including [[Willam Black]]), much to the chagrin of Quick Stop clerk [[Dante Hicks]] ([[Brian O'Halloran]]). In addition, the duo hangs out with Silent Bob's Russian cousin Olaf, who runs a heavy metal band and is looking to do a gig in [[New York City]].

Aware of Dante's [[love triangle]] with Caitlin Bree and Veronica, Silent Bob says to him, "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."

The end credits of ''Clerks'' contain a reference to the return of Jay and Silent Bob in ''Dogma''.
