  • we're gonna need a bigger boat

  • Songs playing in this clip?

  • I love this movie. Its my favorite

  • This is a LMAO movie.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • My 7 year old son has never seen this and will not see it until he's 17. I made a bowl of salsa tonight. He takes a tortilla chip, swims it around in the bowl and says "du Duh du Duh du Duh. There's a shark in the salsa!".

  • its good for watch it

  • Saw it on Netflix

    ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES EVER

  • Best movie ever.

  • There are two reasons why it was filmed in black and white: Kevin Smith felt that filming it in black and white would give viewers that "feel" of how boring and monotonous it is to work as a clerk. AND because the owner of the store at the time told him to film at night because the production would interfere with his business. You can't tell what time of day it is in black and white. That's why "someone jammed gum in the locks" . . And that's why Kevin Smith is an artistic genius :)

  • @casperlok2dbrain I would still rather see it in color but that's just me.

  • This is the bes comedy movie ever!

  • what song do Bad Religion play in this?:)

  • this movie is so awesome i love it it's so good when i saw the movie it made me want to see it again and i get that everytime i watch the movie so far i seen it about 7 times

  • @ninjabastard2 7 times? woah thats so many times (not)

  • i work in a gas station and totally relate to these guys. I hate people, especially if they are customers!!

  • my english teacher looks like dante

  • @dasfsadg he probably is dante.

  • man, this reminds me of my hometown. everybody knew everybody, and the best thing in life was jsut hanging out. good times!

  • What's the song in the beginning of the movie?

  • @Revenge328 Clerks by Love Among Freaks

  • i watched this yesterday its so funny

  • I really like this narrator, anyone know his name?

  • every time something bad or embarrassing happens to me i say

    "i'm not even supposed to be here today"

  • Buncha savages in this town...

  • it's in black and wite becuase they had a REALY!!! small budget to make it

  • funny movie

  • Funny trailer.

    I like the way that narrator said "Clerks!"

  • I liked Dogma but this movie really didn't have much of a story. I did enjoy it though.

  • I live a couple of streets away from this quickstop in Leonardo

  • was a great watch

    its worth watching people so do it

  • Chewbacca! What a wookie!

  • why is this 360p when this video was uploaded in 2006? I thought everything was 240p back before 2008

  • Jay & Silent Bob!

  • I loved this movie. Just saw the sequel. Think it's even better, I love Kevin Smith's work, Zack & Miri make a porno was abnormally hilarious, Dogma was really funny but also smart. Too bad Cop Out sucked but that was probably because he didn't write the story on that one, he only directed.

  • 0:47 the one special effect in the movie Scott Mosier yelling at himself

  • Im not even supposed to be here today!

  • @iTzJuniorOT Black & White = cheaper

    Film making 101

  • "do you have that one with that guy who was in that movie that was out last year" lol

  • The conversations in Clerks are timeless !

  • I think the fact that it's black-and-white makes it really original

  • It's black and white because the director decided it to be. Sheesh...

  • When I think of the 90's this is the first movie that comes to mind. Yeah!

  • it was cooler in cartoon form.

  • LOVE this movie!!!!!

  • How come good movies always have shitty trailers and shitty movies always have great trailers?

  • @malvern666 cos the best movies dont have a big enough budget to pay for a really good trailer editor...

  • @malvern666 Are you saying the movie sucks or the trailer sucks?

  • @malvern666 I thought this trailer (and movie, duh) was awesome myself, but I know what you mean

  • @malvern666 Because shitty movies can't hold the average American's attention span for more than two or three minutes. :)

  • @malvern666 the dark knight :good trailer, great movie

    nanny mcphee returns:shitty trailer, even shittier movie

  • @malvern666 Because good movies don't want to give away the best material in the trailers, shitty movies do it because it is there only good material

  • @malvern666 Because good movies don't need a lot of hype.

  • @malvern666

    good movies don't need to use the best parts

  • @malvern666 Not really true. The Clerks trailer is actually pretty good. The Dark Knight trailer kicked ass.

  • @iTzJuniorOT People, this movie was filmed in black and white because this movie was filmed on actual film, and Kevin Smith had a low budget when he made this movie; black and white film was cheaper.

  • why is it in black and white i mean is it really that old?

  • @iTzJuniorOT read the notes, annotations and comments..

  • @arcadeshopper It's missing "Clerks 2" in the description

    Could you add it?

  • @nafunu add what? clerks 2 is another trailer on youtube

  • @nafunu oh I see, unfortunately I quoted someone, who didn't list it as it probably wasn't out yet.

  • @iTzJuniorOT are you serius? This movie was made in 1954 thats because is in black in white!

  • @quelo007 are u joking, or are u just retarded?

  • @iTzJuniorOT Sure, they just liked to wear 90s clothes in the 40s. Jeez, some of these people. Seriously. -.-

  • @iTzJuniorOT No, it came out in 1994. It was just really really low budget.

  • @iTzJuniorOT yeah color didnt come out till 1995.....

  • @iTzJuniorOT NO idiot. the movie came out in 1994. they just decided to make it in black and white

  • 0:48 what is the song playing in the background?

  • clerks the first one is way better then the second one

  • @MrHiphop109 second very entertaining...but yes...1st one is one of my all time favorite movies.

  • Clerks is the best movie ever!

  • what music is in 0:57

  • 13 persons drink coffee with ice cubes.

  • its crazy how they shot most of it in the middle of the night

  • @ChiknThighTatorPie I guess that kinda explains the "gum in the locks."

  • The Jesus Lizard?

  • @AvsJoe yeah and it's actually a real life lizard that can run across water

  • Just because they serve you...doesn't mean they like you.

  • IM gonna have to watch that, if nothing else for the Music, COC, The Jesus Lizard,

    Bad Religion. I recently heard an acquaintance of mine was playing in Bad Religion now. I know hes plays in the Dickies but had no idea he was with those guys. Damn, I should of followed the crown to la in thhe 90s. 

  • one of my favorite movies so good

  • Was this ever remastered?

  • 0:36 that guy's A LEGEND

  • Drove through Leonardo recently. Quick stop is still there like always. =)

  • DAMN, I just love the 90s & this movie as such

  • I can't imagine this film in colour, it's really better in black and white. That version where they added the cartoon doesnt't make sense though

  • Lets get this over with... CLERKS WAS FILMED IN A BALCK AND WHITE CAMERA BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAPER THAT WAY!

    Sick movie btw

  • Is this movie good? I have wached Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob few years ago, thgey were pretty ood. I would like to hear few opinions.

  • @Lirianus shut up and watch it

  • you mean i gotta drink this coffee hot? lol

  • should i watch this movie?

  • @BVprince Yes! its great

  • @BVprince - Only if you're colour blind - yes!

  • it's meant to be black and white, it was Kevin Smith's first film, it's and independent film also. They didn't have enough money for color cameras.

  • Wow, a movie that isn't trying to be "indie"....they couldn't make a movie like this today if they tried

  • What's the song at the beginning

  • Classic movie... I don't think it would have had the same effect if it was in color. It's perfect in Black and White

  • This is a great movie

  • This is not just the 90's movie. This IS the 90's.

  • whats that song at  0:46?

  • cool old classics

  • they hav a trailer?

  • 0:43 (Y)

  • the best movie of all time

  • Why is this movie in the black and the white?

  • @shockwavexb360 because black and white film is cheaper than color, and Kevin Smith paid for this movie with credit cards and hand outs from friends.

  • @shockwavexb360 Its not cause of low budget like everyone keeps saying, Smith said the black and white was to show its just how ordianary people go through there day and how others percieve it. idk if i explained it right but the low buget thereoy is bull shit

  • @CBFxC Smith also said it was to save a great deal of money due to the various forms of lighting used in the movie. Doing it in color would've more than doubled the budget. He's said as much in interviews.

  • Really good flick. And to think it came out of Jersey. How'd a thunk it?

  • sauce shark)))

  • @shadyback45 SALSA shark

  • This puts me in a happier time :)

  • bad religion ftw!!

  • My favorite line from Clerks

    "MY GIRLFRIEND SUCKED 37 DICKS!!!!"

    "In a row???"

  • because it was on a short budget.

  • if you watch this one and watch the second movie remember the lady checking out the milk in the first movie.

  • Clerks and Mallrats are my 2 favorite Kevin Smith films

  • the second clerks movie is hilarious. never seen the first one though.

  • I can remember seeing this in the theater! great flick! A classic!

  • Unique, idiosyncratic truthfull.

  • Randal is probably Smith's best character. The reason I watched Zack and Miri was just because the actor had a role in it.

  • @snoookie456 the only reason Randal is such a good character is because Kevin originally wrote that part for himself lol if you like Jeff Anderson you should check out Now You Know he wrote and directed it :D

  • you missed clerks 2.

  • does anyone know the name of the movie thats based on a highschool, like a bunch of misfits and nerds and shit like that, kinda like mall rats but based in a highschool.... does anyone know the name perhaps???

  • The Breakfast Club?

  • @POTismedicine its called the breakfast club

  • salsa shark LOL

  • RIP Miramax

  • ah duude tell me about it i just loved the name when i was small good memories miramax

  • @batmanhicks93 ,,,yeah i know alot of great films came from them

  • I just noticed something, i don't know if i'm right or wrong, but the guy who gives Dante a fine for selling cigarettes to a minor is the same guy who pushes the dead body of the old man who Dante's ex-girlfriend fucked

  • Clerks has a lot of that...

    Walt Flannigan for instance plays Woolen cap smoker/Egg man/Offended customer/Cat admirer and Scott Mosier plays Willam Black/Angry hockey-playing customer/Angry mourner

  • i love listening to this film announcer guy's voice saying those really interesting band names. lol. you can almost hear how foreign they seem to him in the tone of his voice.

  • Best movie ever by Kevin, and best movie period.

  • Best movie

  • I was working in a convenience store when I saw this the 1st time, & thought FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!

  • Such a great movie.

    Randal is probably my top 5 favorite movie characters of all time. He's just that awesome.

  • greatest movie

  • Alice in Chains and The Jesus Lizard ROCKS!

  • every time i watch this movie i want to play hockey on my roof

  • dudes i worked in a small backwater cinema and Randall pretty much summed up how i acted

  • NICE MOVIE , but i wonder why it's black and white and it relased on 1994 ?

  • says clearly in the noted + annotations

  • @arcadeshopper It's not only because of the budget, it the movie style like Sin City

  • @Skumtomten1000

    though the director says its the budget and it came out long before sin city. oops

    no colour highlights like sin either

    its the budget BUT it makes the movie so much more stylish

  • @Skumtomten1000

    Not exactly, most of the movie was shot at night inside the store. The they couldn't afford proper lighting for color. Thus why they used black and white, because there is less need for lighting.

  • @iamagiantseaturd Both are true, actually. Black and White stock was cheaper, and it was cheaper to light it for black and white, and they didn't have to pay to color correct it. 27 grand, people. 27 grand. Chasing Amy got a budget almost 10 times that big, and they still could barely afford to make it.

  • Saves money.

  • It was all about budget. Indy film

  • becouse filming it in color was more expensive and they didnt have enough money :)

  • @dukk7777 The budget was too low to get a good camera with colour. Instead they got a good camera wihout any color.

  • @dukk7777 because this film was shot on a very low budget, the director kevin smith actually sold his comic book collection to pay for most of this film.

  • @StonerrProductions he sold his comic collection.wow!!.I have a small collection myself and really hate to give it away.

  • its black and white because it was a rockbottom budget

  • They're absolutely right. I used to work at the food court at the zoo, and I despised every single customer for making me do stuff.

  • Not only does this put me in a happier time , but this makes me wont to go to work !

  • Hahahah . 1.00 :P

  • Mallrats is the best one

    the clerks pt 1

    then jay and silent bob strike back

    then clerks2

    then chasing amy

    dogma was by far the dumbest and worste one...Just my opinion.

  • mmmm

    clerks 1

    mallrats

    clerks 2

    chasing amy

    dogma

    jay and silent bob, i understand what they were trying to do but really it was just slapstick stupidity

  • I sorta agree, but i've never seen Chasing Amy. Dogma, was kind of random, and dumb, but it's still slightly entertaining.

    Mallrats is amazing.

  • Greatest movie ever made.

  • Whats better?: a good plate with nothing on it? wait..... whats a good plate with nothing on it?

  • silverman was great

  • fav and 5 stars

    best movie ever

  • Classic movie and a really good trailer especially compared to those we see now.

  • Kevin smith is one of the greatest directers i've watched. even if he's not playing SILENTBOB i still love him. CLERKS 1 & 2 KICKS ASS AND SO DOES SMITH !!!!

  • He's my second fav after Tarentino

  • i find it funny that the soundtrack cost more to make than the movie itself

  • One of the Greatest films of the 90's.

  • "is there any balls down there?"

    "bout the biggest pair you ever seen dinkleberry"

  • Clerks, and Kevin Smith are two of the greatest things in film history. The rest of film today sucks huge ass. Twilight, Transfromers, and I Love You, Beth Cooper?? 'Nuff Said.

  • The trailer kinda sucks. If I saw the trailer I wouldnt be that interested in the movie. It doesnt do it any justice.

  • Classic movie

    I find it encouraging, that whatever your passion is go for it. They made this movie for like 28,000 dollars. It is amateur, but launched Kevin Smith's career, and he took his friends with him.

  • yeah.... totally weird.

  • great film

  • its weird i have every kevin smith movie ever made, every tv show comic book, but i havent seen clerks i just cant find it anywhere

  • really? Just check like ebay or amazon. Hell i found my copy in a FYE.

  • if you have a best buy near they usually have it. plus the whole movie is on youtube just look up viewaskew. they posted all of clerks, mallrats and chasing amy

  • its at best buy for 16$ lol

  • whats the song in the begining

  • is clerks 1 ment to be black and white or in clour aswell ? ? ? ?

  • Its only blck and white

  • as it says in the annotations and description.. filmed in black and white due to a very low budget
