Synopsis:
Cartoon stories based on the characters from the film Clerks.
Review:
I gotta admit I never saw this show on TV. But I don't think it really
matters since it only aired twice. Man that is a shitty deal. Thank god
Kevin Smith still put these episodes on DVD. This is some fucking funny
shit. I picked up this mother fucker sight unseen and let me tell you
well worth the money. My favorite has go to be episode 4 which has the
Korean ending. That's some funny shit.
I love the way these
episodes were drawn. It really is like a moving comic book. I'm all over
those thick lines. All the characters from the movie are in these episodes.
Some aren't there for very long but the standards are there most of the
time; Randal, Dante, Jay and Silent Bob. My favorite characters has got
to be Randal, dis mofo is fucking star.
The humor ranges from
low brow to gags of pop culture. It's all in there and it all works. Even
if you didn't know the reference you'll probably find yourself laughing.
Which is a good thing cuz you don't want to waste your money on something
that ain't funny. In fact the boys at View Askew should just make these
episodes for DVD fuck the studios, Kevin make this shit straight to DVD.
Special Features :
The best part of the set has got to be the commentary. It was informative
and funny, a standard for a Kevin Smith DVD. Kevin and Dave Mandel take
up most the time but that's alright cuz they both are funny cats. The
intros with Jay and Silent Bob are a nice touch but I could do without.
The trailers and the
TV spots were ok but hey man they're just trailers and TV spots. The animatics
are cool a nice touch to the DVD. There was so much material on these
episodes and most of it is on this DVD. The character development featurette
was good but it felt like it was too short.
The DVD-ROM features
are cool ok I'll admit it I didn't really check that shit out but you
gotta admit it doesn't sound that fucking cool, does it?
Video:
The transfer is great the colors are very well done. The characters really
stand out and the animation is fucking great. I really love how the title
sequence was animated it works well with the sound track. Lets face it
it's only a TV show but it still looks great.
Audio:
Like I said before it's only a TV show, so the audio is only stereo. But
who gives a fuck, it sounds fine. Everything sounds clear and crisp. Props
to the boys at view askew.
