''Chasing Amy'' reveals that in the years since the events of ''Clerks'', Jay and Silent Bob have found out that [[comic book]] writers/artists Holden McNeil (Ben Affleck) and [[Banky Edwards]] (Jason Lee) created a popular independent comic book series entitled ''[[Bluntman and Chronic]]'' starring the duo.

This film centers on Holden's romantic relationship with [[Alyssa Jones]] ([[Joey Lauren Adams]]), a self-identified [[lesbian]]. Though their love is initially passionate, the relationship begins to deteriorate when Holden discovers Alyssa's past. Toward the end of the film, Jay and Silent Bob meet Holden to accept their likeness rights payment, and during this meeting, Silent Bob tells Holden the story of his former girlfriend Amy.

In his longest speech to date, Silent Bob explains that, much like in Holden's relationship with Alyssa, he became distressed at the revelation of Amy's sexual past, specifically that she had engaged in [[Threesome|threesomes]]. Upon discovering this, he broke up with her. Bob later realized he was not annoyed at her; rather, he felt inadequate given his lack of experience. By the time he realized this, it was too late, and she had moved on. He has since spent his life "chasing Amy, so to speak".

Moved by Silent Bob's story, Holden devises a plan to fix his relationship with Alyssa, but as in Silent Bob's past relationship, it is too late. Holden passes the reins of power over the ''Bluntman and Chronic'' comic and creates a new comic named ''Chasing Amy'', based on the relationship.

The scene in which Jay and Silent Bob meet Holden at the cafe to accept payment is their only appearance in ''Chasing Amy.'' However, their voices were heard again during the end credits of the movie, which contained a reference to the return of Jay and Silent Bob in ''[[Dogma (film)|Dogma]]'', released two years after the events of ''Chasing Amy''.
