Relax dude, you are still a puppy...if you were old you'd be like me; the first time I saw it they looked like kids and today they still look like kids.
2:52 the way he looks behind himself and softly says “that kid” before repeating louder... it makes the line so much funnier. It’s like he has to gather himself and make sure he is really seeing what he’s seeing. It’s a great comedic instinct from an underrated actor.
@@TonyGonzales yeah, his acting is on a higher level compared most of the actors in the movie (at least at the time), to the point of being distracting.
@@TonyGonzales best part is that it was it was his first role with spoken lines that wasn't background or ensemble. He did 0 movies before this and was only in a couple of music videos. TS was supposed to be the main character but they liked Jason Lee so much they made him the focus of the film. Legendary performance in an underperforming movie. Even the critics that panned the movie said Lee was the saving grace.
Jesus. I haven't watched this since the early 2000s when I was a teenager. It was still a semi-current movie then. It's insane seeing this now. The culture has changed so much since then, my God...
1 hour wait ? Back in 95?! For Stan Lee to sign your comics ?!! Today it's like a whole day just to get his signature in comic con ! Lol (had to wait 2 hours in line cuz he was doing photo ops in the morning )
I wasted my opportunity to wait 15 mins for him to sign his autobio at SDCC like ten years ago. And Leonard Nimoy didn't even have a line They were hiding lol
As someone who lived through it, I can truly say that most people didn't give two shits about comic books in the mid 90s. We were out in the wilderness.
I cant believe i wasnt horrified by the whole Trish thing back in the 90s when i saw this movie. Someone call child protective services for this 15 year old girl please
THANKFULLY the actress was 20. It was clearly written for shock value as the most decent characters find the whole situation repulsive and the biggest jackhole in the movie gets busted for having sex with her and goes to prison.
Yea went over my head when I watched in the 90s, but Hard to believe they let something like that stay in movie; i mean what were statutory laws back then
@@JimmieCochranwhy wouldn’t they leave it in the movie? It’s just a movie. The laws were the same, it wasn’t that long ago. She wasn’t doing anything in real life. It’s not real.
If you actually watch the movie it wasn't OK then. You can clearly see that the characters who are decent human beings have a problem with it and the worst jackhole in the movie goes to prison for having sex with her.
She admitted to filming sleeping with a 25 year old and based on her research the plan was to record herself sleeping with dudes up till the age of 34 which is fuked up
i remember listening on the commentary and kevin smith said the casting for trish came down to this girl in the scene and jennifer love hewitt and they went with this girl.
What publishing company would give money to a minor to perform and publish a first hand account of sexual encounters with men ranging from 15-40? It’s only after not watching this clip in like 15 years do I realize how creepy and sick it is.
The finale of this movie involves the police being alerted to a video tape showing child abuse. Somehow this only leads to the arrest of Ben Affleck’s character and not a full scale investigation into Trish’s parents, the publisher, and every guy in the book.
The way it was written it would. The most decent person in the movie found what she was doing wrong and disturbing, the worst person in the movie went to prison for having sex with her.
Jason Lee made quite some acting progress between this movie and ‘Dogma.’ His ‘Mallrats’ line reading is arguably sub-Jason Mewes. But his ‘Evil is an abstract’ deleted scene is sublime.
So I just watched a video where there's this guy teaching his son how to go down the escalator without the dad helping him and the kid is extremely hesitant and you can tell he looks scared and all I thought was that child needs to learn to fear and respect the escalator.
Love this movie, and Kevin Smith as an entertainer. But the inclusion of this character is bizarre, even for Smith standards. He wrote a comic book called Chasing Dogma where we find out Silent Bob sleeps with her as well. This combined with his frequent portrayal of perverts in his films (Reboot), and middle aged men with teenagers (Clerks II), It just doesn’t age well at all.
Kevin is the product of the working-class culture of the 80s, which was very "macho" in most places - certainly in New Jersey. From the same period there are plenty of "sexually experienced female teenager" tropes, e.g. Trainspotting. Mainstream culture has definitely changed in the field of adolescent sex, it's treated less casually, but that doesn't make a pervert out of every man who ever wrote a related joke before 2005.
So this "15" year old (Actually 20 at the time) was going to be sleeping with a 30 year old man, and her parents were cool with that. The 90's were a very different time.
I don't think is bad tho, it's just a fun movie about fucking dorks. Charming, semi gross dorks. It's basically Detroit Rock City for geeks. I enjoy both these movies, even tho they are kinda bad, but in a good way
Damn I'm getting old. When I first saw this, these guys were a lot older than me. Now they look like kids to me.
Relax dude, you are still a puppy...if you were old you'd be like me; the first time I saw it they looked like kids and today they still look like kids.
So tru

We get older; they stay the same age.

He really is the best part of the main cast.
Agreed. He's been an underrated element in so many great films. "Almost Famous" and "Vanilla Sky" for example
Yep. Whereas the actor playing TS is awful. Look at his body language when Brody is talking throughout the movie.
@@TonyGonzales yeah, his acting is on a higher level compared most of the actors in the movie (at least at the time), to the point of being distracting.

"You guys think just because a guys reads comics he can't start some shit?!" is one of my favorite line ever.
Jason's timing and delivery is just perfect.
Yep. Everybody else sounds like they are reading from a book.
Jesus. I haven't watched this since the early 2000s when I was a teenager. It was still a semi-current movie then. It's insane seeing this now. The culture has changed so much since then, my God...
Malls certainly have since they film came out.
Malls have really changed. I find it sad though cuz I think we should have malls and online shopping maybe we'll realize this one day.
@@winecrimesfoodandtime7119 Malls are unsafe because the "Amish" have flash mobs, start fights and cause violence and vandalism.
I love how aggressively he slapped that note book outta her hands lol
Eric: That was ruuuuude dude🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well she more of a whole than Alyssa
I busted out laughing 😂
💀💀💀
“I hope his pants get caught and a blood bath ensues”
“Don’t get me wrong I don’t wish the kid harm”
He was saying it loudly so the mother would have the realization that her kid could get hurt, and to scare the kid into standing.
@@KrutchesRDH it’s still funny lol
That kid is back on the escalator again lmao love this movie
that line is seriously the best part of this movie
tell em Steve Dave!
Fuck you fanboy
Fuck you fan boy!!!
"SOMEBODY GET A MEDIC! THERE'S A LITTLE BOY CAUGHT IN THE ESCALATOR!"
Why did I cheer when that was said? 4:19
I always put
"THAT KID IS BACK ON THE ESCALATOR AGAIN"
Whenever someone says drop a movie quote to see if anyone can guess what it's from

Marvel was under bankruptcy in 1994 and nearly was bought up on its titles by DC comics.
@@Distorteddesignshop Ouch. Would've loved to have met both of them as well. RIP to both of them.
As someone who lived through it, I can truly say that most people didn't give two shits about comic books in the mid 90s. We were out in the wilderness.
Yes, back then people didn’t pretend they liked comic book characters as a replacement to a personality. People actually had lives back then.
That damn kid is back on the damn escalator again! DAMN IT!
I had this on VHS as a teen. This movie was a game changer for me…. I still love it. 🥰
RIP Stan lee
I cant believe i wasnt horrified by the whole Trish thing back in the 90s when i saw this movie. Someone call child protective services for this 15 year old girl please
Like what the actual fuck did I just hear
ya and Brodie is actively asking her to fuck him in this lol, he is even petting her awkwardly when he walks up to her
THANKFULLY the actress was 20. It was clearly written for shock value as the most decent characters find the whole situation repulsive and the biggest jackhole in the movie gets busted for having sex with her and goes to prison.
And that's why we can't have great movies like this anymore. Someone takes it serious and gets offended.
@@tonymontecino9761 don't get triggered son it's just a comment on the internet
The "women want romance!" Line is still Kevin Smith's funniest bit
That line IS true!
No they want to record data about a bunch of random dudes they slept with, apparently.
Awesome movie hand's down takes me back to the 90s hell yeah 🤘🤘🤘
I love how offended everyone is by the fact that Brodie and T.s have no shopping agenda.
15 years old and the research book part... would not be ok today...
It wasn't okay then I hate you people that say this dumb shit.
Its NOT ok in any "time"!
Yea went over my head when I watched in the 90s, but Hard to believe they let something like that stay in movie; i mean what were statutory laws back then

"Be fair, Everyone wants Mr Toads Wild Ride!"
That kid is back on the escalator again!
Leave it alone!
What?
There are many bad-bad-not-good elements in this movie. Of the good stuff Jason Lee's characters obsession with escalator safety takes the cake.
It's a very hit and miss movie when it comes to the jokes but still entertaining for the most part.
“That kid is back on the escalator again!”
Wow, I never realized as a kid how creepy it is that Brodie asks a fifteen-year-old girl if she's offering for her "research." Yikes.
She admitted to filming sleeping with a 25 year old and based on her research the plan was to record herself sleeping with dudes up till the age of 34 which is fuked up
They're both in high school, high school kids fuck, get over it.
? there are girls even more obvious today at least trish the fish is being productive with it but fair always takes two to tango
Someone grew up very sheltered and indoctrinated.
Average age of marriage for the entire world is like 12 for like thousands of years.
@@christoff124 Creepiest reply ever.
Trish's knee socks are the real stars of this scene.
@Destroy all Soy the actress was 20 at the time so no harm no foul.
She’s playing 15 year old! FREAK!
@@ChrisMusson-kv8ph
Uh I’d say that would be a concern if she actually looked like it but that is clearly a grown ass woman playing her 💀
Syndrome should have listened to Brody about loose clothing getting caught in machinery.
the kid in the escalator is now old enough to have a kid..in the escalator
Crazy how fast time flew
The kids no longer old enough for Casey Affleck
Brodie would’ve never ever not known about Stan Lee signing comics.
The 90s nostalgia is crazy
RIP Stan Lee. This has always been my favorite cameo of yours.
Tell'em, Steve Dave!
I bet those autographs cost much more now.
RIP
Just met a guy who got caught on the escalator as a child. Needless to say, I sent him this video
That man has been doing meta cameos for a looooonnng time.
“You’re Fucking Next!” that cracked me up lol
"Tell em Steve-dave!"
I don't care what anybody says. Mallrats is Kevin Smith's best work. Clerks is a close 2nd.
Mallrats was my first foray into Kevin Smith’s Jerseyverse
@@richlisola1... they don't know who LaFours is.
That’s an absolutely mental thing to do for a book
I just came here to read the, "That kid is back on the escalator again!" Comments.
man i've missed watching this movie, i went to the mall the other day baked as thinking about this movie
Freak 96: Did you see the kitties?🤣🤣🤣
TELL HIM STEVE DAVE!
They used to call me "sega boy" too, I still don´t know why.
It's a joke that never gets old, kind of like cabbage guy in the avatar series.
i remember listening on the commentary and kevin smith said the casting for trish came down to this girl in the scene and jennifer love hewitt and they went with this girl.
missing hours Renee Humphrey.
@J G I only remember her boobs
@@jasondyrkacz8270 Google search reveals she was in movies "JailBait" & "The Sex Monster" after this. Hollywood shocker eh?
3:53
Jason Lee is hilarious lol
love this film!
Everytime I see a kid on an escalator, everybody hears about it. It's been 30 years and I don't think I will stop...
Not many circles with an X... Even when there is a smiley face with eyebrows....
What publishing company would give money to a minor to perform and publish a first hand account of sexual encounters with men ranging from 15-40? It’s only after not watching this clip in like 15 years do I realize how creepy and sick it is.

It would be creepy and sick. If it was real and not just a bit in a movie.
@@wubuck79 thank you for your insight.
My Name is Earl in a mall and 20.
Renee Humphrey was hot.
Trish the Dish is 15?! Did NOT remember this detail. No way they make that character 15 if they make the movie in 2024
I could style my hair with the combing in this clip
Man I'm pretty sure the 15 year old bit would not fly today lol.
she was 20 when she played that part
@@WrenchS13 that's irrelevant lol
The way it was written it would. The most decent person in the movie found what she was doing wrong and disturbing, the worst person in the movie went to prison for having sex with her.

Got it
@@TheBehm08 so you don't get that adult women wear Mary Janes as well... got it.

I cant believe I used to love this movie
jason lee reminds me so much of liam gallagher in this
Until I moved to San Diego County almost 9 & 1/2 years ago, I thought comoc book stores inside malls ONLY existed in Mallrats. I was wrong.
I love the STAN on the bald guy's head.
An old guy died in my local mall
riding the escalator he fell, you need to respect that escalator.
Tell’em SteveDave
our little Trish is only 15 but somehow she looks 32
The actress was 21 years old.
TS, one of the few View Askew characters who only showed up for one movie.
Jason Lee made quite some acting progress between this movie and ‘Dogma.’ His ‘Mallrats’ line reading is arguably sub-Jason Mewes. But his ‘Evil is an abstract’ deleted scene is sublime.
Tits up?
Tell em Steve Dave
It wasn't ok back then either...
1 reason to like. Wishing everyone a happy Smiley face and X day!
One side, Red.
I'm gonna bring that back.
LCAV Productions i forgot I had posted this. Lol
Tell him Steve Dave!
I've always feared & respected every escalator in my life! That's criminal...that kid is back on the fuckin escalator again!
Trish the Dish is the big nose girl from the Wonder Years.
So I just watched a video where there's this guy teaching his son how to go down the escalator without the dad helping him and the kid is extremely hesitant and you can tell he looks scared and all I thought was that child needs to learn to fear and respect the escalator.

That's Kevin Smith for ya. He's a relic of a different time in many ways.
@@alucard624 that's not a different time thing that was just weird all together no matter what time.Like the episode of Seinfeld

that's criminal lol
Weird how the scene at 1:11 is all in one cut. I could have sworn the version I saw cut between closeups of the three.
I'll still yell "that kid is back on that escalator again!" in crowded places from time to time..
Tell em Steve Dave!... classic lol, say it to this day lol
Did this clip go on longer than the 2:05 it's supposed to?
“When the hell do I get to see the goddamn sailboat!”
Jason actually called her Renee (the actresses’ real name) instead of Tricia.
0:42 I've always wanted to do that to somebody! 🤣
So this "15" year old (Actually 20 at the time) was going to be sleeping with a 30 year old man, and her parents were cool with that.
The 90's were a very different time.
I have a shirt that actually says "you fuckers think that just cause a guy read comics he can't start some shit?" I love it.
1:06 that killed me, right there!💦💧😂💧💦
So is Trish secretly psychic? They never explain how she knew he'd end up owning and operating a comic store
...what??
Bad script, bad acting, bad photography and yet I still love it.
Nostalgia is a helluva drug. This was my favourite movie as a teenager.
Missy Penter I loved it

“Stan Lee’s signing comics.”
Me: what? 😮😮😮
Oh shit its Walter from comic book men in the red jersey!!!
girl looks like giana carano
He looks more like an older version of the kid who played earl as a kid more then the kid does now
Sega boy lol
What's "One side, red"? I noticed that too in Dogma. Like, what's the "red" part mean?
Henry Roa DeLuca its because the guy hes talking to is a red-head...so for short "red"
Trish is a very mature looking 15 year old. It’s almost as though she’s in her 20’s playing a younger age. 😂
RIP Stan Lee.
2:38 it’s funny because he does kick his ass!
