{{Main|Mallrats}}
Although it was filmed one year later, the events in ''Mallrats'' occur one day before the events in ''Clerks''. In the film, Jay and Silent Bob are loitering at a local New Jersey mall (filmed in Minnesota at the [[Eden Prairie Center Mall]]). There they are met by [[Brodie Bruce]] ([[Jason Lee (entertainer)|Jason Lee]]) and T.S. Quint ([[Jeremy London]]), who have broken up with their girlfriends—Rene ([[Shannen Doherty]]) and Brandi ([[Claire Forlani]]), respectively. A local game show called ''Truth or Date'' is set to be filmed at the mall that day, which is to feature Brandi. Brodie asks Jay and Silent Bob to make sure the show does not happen, and Jay says they were going to destroy the stage anyway, for lack of anything better to do.

They make several attempts to destroy the stage but fail. Later, they help Brodie and T.S. win back their girlfriends. Jay incapacitates the male contestants on ''Truth or Date'' by getting them [[Effects of cannabis|stoned]], which allows Brodie and T.S. to take their places. Silent Bob overrides the production's video input, allowing him to play a videotape of Rene's new boyfriend, Shannon Hamilton ([[Ben Affleck]]), having sex with a minor. The film concludes with Brodie and T.S. reconciling with their girlfriends. Jay and Silent Bob walk off into the distance with an [[orangutan]] named Susanne.

In this film, Silent Bob is revealed to be an electronics expert and won a science fair in eighth grade by turning his mother's [[Vibrator (sex toy)|vibrator]] into a CD player using "[[chicken wire]] and shit".

After the credits roll, Jay and Silent Bob are announced to return in ''[[Chasing Amy]]''.
