@@heggy_69 They have a common cousin: the Walter that Brodie mentions here was also mentioned by Randall in Clerks. I'm not sure if the comics explicitly confirm their relation specifically (they could have a common cousin but not be cousins themselves) or just that the cousin Walt is indeed the same.
Randal, Brodie, Holden, Banky and Jay & Silent Bob are the best characters in the Askewniverse. If I had to pick one, It'd be Brodie Bruce all the way.
@@HoustonT17 I think that they both need a more annoyed and down to earth friend in order to work comically on the long term. Without people to annoy I don't think Randall would be as funny, he would just be speechless, and TS gave Brodie a goal. The two together would just awkwardly deliver unearned punchline wihtout facing adversity.
Ive just noticed that in all of Kevin Smith's movies, they star a normal guy and their loud mouth friend, ex. Jay and Silent bob, randal and Dante, Brodie and T.S.
Thanks for making this video. I'm working on a Mallrats piece for Gallery 1988 and this is exactly what I needed to get started on my Brodie-centric piece. Do it, Doug!!!
I LOVE the smell of commerce in the morning ! Yeah about a million things but I can't express myself monosyllabically enough for you to understand them all !
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 yea that's bad for back in the days.. now that's kinda normal cuz movies suck in general anymore.. plus they didn't make as much as they projected.. Kevin Smith it was a Theatrical failure out of all his movies
@@stanleyshady9465 that’s not bad for “back in the days” lol gigli got like a 3%. This has a 57% which means 43% didn’t like. More people liked it than didn’t. So therefore it’s not considered that bad. Also critics are a joke, look at all the audience scores. That’s what really counts
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 yea that was my main point.. 'Critics' don't know what they're talking about.. and Gigli is in no way shape or form any comparison to this movie.. I said out of all of Kevin Smiths movies.. I said Theatrical reviews, you pulled 57% from Rotten fuckin Tomatoes' current rating? Really? 1, their ratings aren't even accurate by any standards.. and 2, 57 is still bad
Recently a wrestler stage named Brody Lee died, he was a good man. His name is the fusion of the name Jason Lee and Brody Bruce. I can imagine he and his friends watching this movie thinking... Jon, you look alike Jason Lee.
Missed what is probably the best Brodie line in the movie. When he shakes hands with, and stinkpalms, Mr. Svenning and says, "Wow! Would you feel that iron grip handshake! Like Burt Reynolds and shit", and the whole 'chocolate covered pretzel' thing.
I remember watching this on TV back when I didn't have Direct TV record now it's nowhere to be found on TV when I can record. I miss this movie so much
This movie is one of the reasons why we have My Name is Earl damn I figured Jason Lee's skateboarding friends and business partners would go before his now fellow actors but Burt Reynolds Norm Macdonald and of course Stan The Man Lee chocolate covered pretzel
08:32 best part, just Brodie selling this dude out as hard as he can 'hey this guys a homophobe,' with the double finger point, just baiting him into arguing any random position.
I love mallrats so much I even bought the extended dvd years ago... I don't think I was ever able to get through the entire extended editions it's so much worse 😂
Trevor Moore pulled a Brodie on the actual dating game reboot in the 90's a couple years after this movie if you were at the top of empire state building I would be the guy holding the sign that says jump
COLEY FOLEY SAYS: "THERE'S A LITTLE BOY CAUGHT IN THE ESCALATOR...!" HAHAHA! (AND... JUST NOTICED THE FUCKIN "NOTES" ON "JAY & SILENT BOB'S" PLANS.... HAHAHAHA!) ON "STARZ" AGAIN RIGHT NOW.
I like when i see actors in kid movies first then see them in a more adulterated postition, i just keep thinking of Dave from the alvin and the chipmunks live action
that kid is back on the god damn escalator
Leave it alone.
@@joepermenter7228 WHAT??
This bit has had a grip on me since I was 8 years old, and I still use it today if I see a kid on escalator
Mallrats is maybe the most underrated film in Kevin Smith's repertoire :")
I honestly think it's the best of the kevin smith films. Jason Lee steals the show and its awesome
Totally agree with you Pokman
Mallrats is his worst film.
CTDawg Townsend thats because ure from the internet generation. when we were 15/16 we hit the streets every fucking day.
I don't think it's a generation thing at all. I guess I'm skirting the edge of "Internet generation" and was definitely not hanging at malls as a teen but the movie is just funny.
Jason Lee is such a great actor. Funny as hell too!
He was a great skateboarder too.
Ya I just found that out tonight! I grew up with kids that loved skating and those bastards never told me! He’s a bad ass skater!
That kid is BACK on the ESCALATOR again!
Can't wait for Mallrats 2.
NOT HAPPENING
@@DolomaciBusictus now it is
@@adrianmontes2873 Deadass?? Proof??
@@beasleyicey1370 it was confirmed like 6 years ago. Kevin Smith just started talking about it again in April last year.
@@adrianmontes2873 hahaha
The fact that Brodie and Randal are related makes so much sense.my two favorite characters.
Wait, they are? How?
@@MrManowar6 They're both cousins. It's only vaguely hinted at in the movies, but it's confirmed in the comics.
@@electrickoathanger wait they're cousins? So....randall had a cat up his ass?
@@heggy_69 They have a common cousin: the Walter that Brodie mentions here was also mentioned by Randall in Clerks. I'm not sure if the comics explicitly confirm their relation specifically (they could have a common cousin but not be cousins themselves) or just that the cousin Walt is indeed the same.
Yeah they are cousins . there's a diagram that connects the viewaskew universe on the DVD release of chasing Amy.
Randal, Brodie, Holden, Banky and Jay & Silent Bob are the best characters in the Askewniverse. If I had to pick one, It'd be Brodie Bruce all the way.
Treyworld Same here
I just dig that it's Jason Lee an ex pro skater
A Brodie/Randal crossover would have been the greatest (Walt and Bry)
@@HoustonT17 I think that they both need a more annoyed and down to earth friend in order to work comically on the long term.

@@Pordrack you've obviously never listened to Tell Em Steve-Dave... 12yrs, 600+ episodes, basically the real life Randall and Brodie podcast
Ive just noticed that in all of Kevin Smith's movies, they star a normal guy and their loud mouth friend, ex. Jay and Silent bob, randal and Dante, Brodie and T.S.
oh yeah and Bankie and Holden from Chasing Amy
Eh, everyone's got their thing. Steven Spielberg can't stop writing about his dad.
The Geek yes and even the angels from dogma. Loki keeps talking lol
The Geek Don't Forget Holden and Banky Edward.
Jerry Ryanto i didnt
im turning 40 this year, this is my go to movie to feel better about my youth
autonomous unit for mid-mall snacking
Kevin smith and pals always make me laugh. Im almost 39 and still the humor lasts.
45 now. Time flies.
10 years from now this movie will make no sense to kids, they will be like "what the hell is a mall"
i was born in 2006 i thankfully understand all the jokes
1995 takes me back one of my favorites next to clerks 1994 man the 90s ruled!!!
Brodie grew up to be Earl Hickey and voiced Syndrome for The Incredibles.
Can you believe this movie will be 30 years old?
Thanks for making this video. I'm working on a Mallrats piece for Gallery 1988 and this is exactly what I needed to get started on my Brodie-centric piece. Do it, Doug!!!
did you ever finish it. I'd love to see it
Indeed. Kevin actually tweeted it out. www.behance.net/gallery/31214919/Its-Mall-or-Nothing-(Gallery-1988)
I really love this! I'm a graphic design major right now and would love to do some work like this. What's your process?
Yes great job !!
“Some parent-I don’t care which one” is an underrated quote in my opinion.
How dare me! I never noticed T.S. donning a Clerks hat at the flea market.... !!!
+Manuel Gonzales Best part is when he takes the hat off and looks at the front he recoils in disgust and flings it back where he got it from.
Eagle eye!
Blasphemy
I LOVE the smell of commerce in the morning ! Yeah about a million things but I can't express myself monosyllabically enough for you to understand them all !
(Looking at comics, then at the vendor) “these should have boards in them! Bloody savage.” -Brodie Bruce
I dunno critics were so harsh about this movie.. it's soooo good
55% isn’t that harsh.

Rip Brody
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega."
Dude...thanks for uploading this ! I Freaking LOVE Brodieman !!!!!! :D
People dog the movie, but I love it and it no doubt launched Lee's career. What a charismatic performance.
Brodie's reaction to the closed comic book skip is hilarious LMFAO
brodie is fucking hilarious all hail the king
Breakfast Shmekfast. Reasonably, Shmeasonably. :)
Jason lee should have gotten a fuckin Oscar for this performance. Never get tired or it
Suzanne is one of weezers best songs. Back when Matt Sharp was part of the band.
This is the first DVD I ever owned
"Do it Doug!"
Love it. One of the best characters ever.
Have you guys ever seen Inside Out?
In my head, Brodie is my Disgust.
With the comic loving it sounds like he would be my joy :)
Inside Out? Like Zack De La Rocha's band before Rage Against the Machine
Tell em Steve Dave
CLuv FUCK YOU, FANBOY!
The name amongst names
He's right about the cookie stand.
I love how he got to punch his hated rival at the end
Missed what is probably the best Brodie line in the movie. When he shakes hands with, and stinkpalms, Mr. Svenning and says, "Wow! Would you feel that iron grip handshake! Like Burt Reynolds and shit", and the whole 'chocolate covered pretzel' thing.
With closed captioning on..
2:42: "Krygystand is not part of the food court"
Something about the ending of this song always makes me very sad and nostalgic.
Brodie was the best thing about Mallrats, completely overshadowed T.S. in my opinion.
T.S. is honestly fucking terrible. Every time he opens his mouth it almost ruins the scene.
@dont let me down Yea really. He's absolutely awful.
@dont let me down Not even an opinion, Dude, he's a bad actor. It's a blatant fact.
He played a good role in Dazed and Confused...don’t think he’s managed another one ever.
@@brawndothethirstmutilator9848 not him. That’s his twin brother Jason London
Little boys should fear and respect escalators, dammit.
I remember watching this on TV back when I didn't have Direct TV record now it's nowhere to be found on TV when I can record. I miss this movie so much
Genius character
that kid.. that kid IS BACK, ON THE ESCALATOR AGAIN! would you leave it alone? WHAT!! lol
Brodie was my favorite character I love this movie XD
network producer: "Have you ever considered hosting your own talk show?" Brodie: "Yeah"
Did anyone notice the clerks hat ?
Great video compolation.
You should have included his scene from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back".
thanks for this comp and upload. Brodie is the best!
what have i stumbled upon? this was in my recommendations...
I miss his Brodie...
One of my faves also. I used to compare my best friend and I to Ts and Brodie.
It’s at this point you should realize that My Name is Earl is a Mallrats spin-off
Except it wasn't even a fraction of the funny...
you may or may not have been Brodie back in high school, but everybody had a friend like Brodie back in high school.
That’s why Mr. Incredible called Buddy “Brodie”!
I was named after this movie
So your name is mallrat?
I named my kid Brodie... hes 13 now and I just told him yesterday why
At 1:56 HOLY SHIT IT'S EARL AND RANDY!!!
My cousin was a weird guy. LOL
The banter between the two reminds me of pulp fiction for some reason.
My favorite Kevin Smith movie
nice editing !
tell em steve dave
Fvck you fanboy!
Jason Lee got one free punch on Batman.
Breakfast Shmekfast :P
TESD! TESD! TELL EM STEVE DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That kid is Back on the escalator again ! :P
8:58 this is one of the Brodie's best moments
Holy shit it's fucking Earl Hicky I just realized that
Tell ‘em Steve Dave
What do you mean and? That's like a metaphor for our whole relationship. I know exactly how he feels, ::wells up::, excuse me.
Ha, I wish they left that line in from the cashier. xD
Simple.
Thank you!
Brodie and Banky are the same character to me... 😆😆😆
My mate les thought the same thing.
Loved it Then,,,brutal bad now.
This movie is one of the reasons why we have My Name is Earl damn I figured Jason Lee's skateboarding friends and business partners would go before his now fellow actors but Burt Reynolds Norm Macdonald and of course Stan The Man Lee chocolate covered pretzel
Live it
Brodie man, Snoochie Noochies!!!
I loved this movie when I was 15. Only a 15 year old could enjoy it.
DO IT, DOUG!
08:32 best part, just Brodie selling this dude out as hard as he can 'hey this guys a homophobe,' with the double finger point, just baiting him into arguing any random position.
You missed "WHAT LIKE FUCKING?"
I love mallrats so much I even bought the extended dvd years ago... I don't think I was ever able to get through the entire extended editions it's so much worse 😂
Respect the escalator!
Jason Lee made this movie.
TELL EM STEVE DAVE!
Trevor Moore pulled a Brodie on the actual dating game reboot in the 90's a couple years after this movie if you were at the top of empire state building I would be the guy holding the sign that says jump
JESUS CHRIST there are just somethings you cant talk about in public!!!
01:36 savage
i hope brodies going to be in mall rats 2 it wont be the fucking same with out him
there will be a sequel !?!?!
+Evan Bright yeah it's going to be a 10 episode miniseries. The whole cast is coming back too
INCREDIBLE
Jeff Anderson needed to be in this movie
Seriously, replace T.S. with Randal.
Boogie Shoes in the flea market
You forgot when Brody answers the door for TS.
You gotta include his cameo from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
COLEY FOLEY SAYS: "THERE'S A LITTLE BOY CAUGHT IN THE ESCALATOR...!" HAHAHA! (AND... JUST NOTICED THE FUCKIN "NOTES" ON "JAY & SILENT BOB'S" PLANS.... HAHAHAHA!) ON "STARZ" AGAIN RIGHT NOW.
Syndrome is hanging out with his friends at the Mall and wants his girlfriend back again and meeting Stan Lee
3:50 she's right
CTDawg Townsend 3:56
Brodie Logan i'm not sure if I should believe that since she's an actual woman he's just a guy. She should know what women want.
I like when i see actors in kid movies first then see them in a more adulterated postition, i just keep thinking of Dave from the alvin and the chipmunks live action
Brrrroadie buddy
Does anyone know the song
When Rene breaks up with brodie
Sliverchairs
Late to the party, but it's Silverchair - Stoned. It's from their EP they put out before the Frogstomp album
