Jay and Silent Bob are fictional characters created by filmmaker Kevin Smith, played by Jason Mewes as the talkative Jay and Smith himself as the mostly silent Bob. They first appeared in Clerks in 1994 and returned in Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Their odd couple dynamic became a cult comedy staple, and short clips of their reactions circulate on soundboards and in edits where a long, judgmental stare says more than dialogue.
About this sound
Jay and Silent Bob lookin at is a movie dialogue clip from the Kevin Smith duo, used for stunned staring, awkward pauses and reaction edits online.
This clip captures Jay and Silent Bob in a drawn out looking moment, with Jay doing the talking while Silent Bob stays in his trademark deadpan stare. The humor comes from the contrast between Jay's loud, fast energy and Bob's complete silence as they fix on whatever is in front of them. At around fourteen seconds it is longer than a quick reaction sting, so the awkwardness builds instead of passing instantly. Viewers instantly read it as disbelief, judgment or being caught staring at something ridiculous.
