Jay and Silent Bob are fictional characters portrayed by Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith, respectively, in Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse, a fictional universe created and used in most films, comics and television by Kevin Smith, which began in Clerks.
Jay and Silent Bob have appeared in most of Smith's films with the exceptions being Jersey Girl and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. They are drug dealers, mainly marijuana, who spend most of their time standing in front of stores selling their product. This was only changed once in Clerks: The Animated Series, in which they were turned into illegal fireworks salesmen, with no mention made of their drug habits.
Of the duo, Jay usually takes the role of the leader, because Silent Bob, as his nickname suggests, seldom talks. Bob only speaks to deliver insightful monologues to the other characters, which he does very rarely, and only in appropriate situations. Otherwise, he relies on hand gestures and facial expressions to communicate, with the occasional exception of quiet, muffled laughter. In Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, he gets angry when Jay does not understand his gestures and yells at Jay, perhaps for the first time.
According to the animated series, Silent Bob's full name is revealed to be Robert Blutarsky, which is a nod to the film Animal House, where one of the main characters is also revealed to later become a Senator of the same name.
