Silent Bob

Jay 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 of the films, comics, and television programs are written and produced by Smith, beginning with Clerks.
Jay and Silent Bob are the only characters that have appeared in every Askewniverse film; this excludes Smith's other projects: Jersey Girl, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Cop Out, Red State, Tusk, and Yoga Hosers. The characters are shown spending most of their time selling marijuana in front of the convenience store in the Clerks films. In Clerks: The Animated Series, they were also shown selling illegal fireworks.
Jay and Silent Bob, sometimes presented as Jason "Jay" Derris and Robert "Silent Bob" Bluntowski, were born in Leonardo, New Jersey in the 1970s, according to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. They met as infants in front of Quick Stop Groceries while their mothers shopped inside The Record Rack, which would eventually become RST Video.
Silent Bob's distinguishing features are his former heavy smoking habit, long coat which turns into a Jedi robe, long dark hair, beard, and white backward baseball cap. He was raised Catholic and is a gadgetry genius. True to his name, Silent Bob rarely speaks. When he does, he often has something eloquent or logical to say, delivering thought-provoking monologues to the other characters as a form of deus ex machina that prompts them to change the outlook they've had prior. In Clerks II, when Dante complains that the two never say anything intelligent, Jay calls for Silent Bob to "do his thing", to which Silent Bob can only says "I got nothing." Otherwise, he relies on hand gestures and facial expressions to communicate. Silent Bob is often angered by Jay, and when Silent Bob does speak, he will sometimes trash Jay, particularly in Chasing Amy (in which Silent Bob gave a long speech), in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (the aforementioned loud rant), and in Clerks II (where he points out when he speaks he usually says something intelligent, whereas Jay says something stupid). In Clerks: The Animated Series, Silent Bob is called "Blutarsky", but according to Smith, that was a joke referencing Animal House and he never gave Silent Bob a last name. In Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, he has lost weight (in reality, Kevin Smith had a near-fatal heart attack and adopted a vegan diet).
