Kevin Smith's Clerks Wii
Posted by Brian Crecente at 5:00 AM on January 3, 2008
News Askew points out that designer Ramon Stokes was commissioned to make a custom Clerks-themed Wii for Kevin Smith's Christmas Gift. The Wii was painted with flat gray scale colors and the console's stand features the movies main characters, each back-lit with two lights that beam up. The other side of the console has a back-lit logo of Smith's production company. Each of the controllers were hand-painted with Smith's name on one controller and Silent Bob's on the other. All said the project took 60 hours, looks like it was worth it to me.
Smith later dropped Stokes a line to let him know that he and his family loved it.

the clerks animated movie is canceled because the weinstein's aren't with disney anymore and disney still has the rights. They of course could make a mallrats or dogma or whatever cartoon and jay and silent bob could still be in it since kev owns them.

want want want. That thing is a pile of awesome.
Don't get me wrong, I think that Smith has made MAYBE 2 good movies since, Clerks, but the original Clerks is an amazing film.

@marmidukestank: Worst movie ever made? You must not have seen Jersey Girl.
All kidding aside, I'm glad you've had such a short, sheltered existence because it's clear you have seen two movies your whole life.

Noone finds the fact that he got a Wii customised to suit his OWN franchise to be totally egotistical?
I'm probably biased though, since I think Smith is a putz and also that Dogma is the worst movie ever made.

@yanthrax:
I'm glad somebody caught it. The animated series was hilarious. Alec Baldwin as Leonardo Leonardo was a particular highlight for me.

@noyd_mcbennet: No, that was an extremely obscure reference to the Clerks show. If you read the other comments, no you are not alone. But I am not one of you, for you are not "one of us!"
I'll stop with the references when I feel like it.

@SamuelRPGstory: How can you say clerks sucked? oh that makes me so sad. I can agree as of late, Clerks 2 jersey girl, and jay and silent bob are of questionable quality, but Clerks? Come on!

I think Kevin smith is a funny guy but I pretty much hate all smartass crap he makes.
Clerks sucked and you have to have the brain of a 12 year old kid to think Jay and Silent Bob are awesome.
nice wii though!

I am such a huge Kevin Smith fan. I've been to the Secret Stash on Redbank New Jersey sooo many times for signings. I would pay $1,000 for that wii.

Come on, everyone knows Kevin Smith the most because of "Jersey Girl" and "Live Free or Die Hard". Right? Ugh...I'm joking, and I cried a little. Some else must have too.

[morpheonmods.blogspot.com] "From what we understand, Silent Bob is an avid gamer and this would be his first Wii - No pressure."
I thought that the whole "no pressure during Wii thing" only occurs with really old age.

its kind of cute that celebrities have pimped all of their rides and houses and now have to get their consoles pimped too. i like this, actually, i'm a sucker for unnecessary lights. checking their page, they did that rockstar wii and the fancy zelda ds. too. good for them for getting some recognition.

This is the only thing Kevin Smith has been associated with for the last 10 years that anyone has given a shit about. That's comedy, baby. That's comedy.

@SithNinja: I visited Nintendo World recently, and saw that they had it on display. I had no idea thats where it was. (unless they bought it or made more than one?)
Personally I find it to be atrocious, and there was a bright light shining on it. I am now blind, my sister is typing for me right now, I'm just telling her what to type. Sad but true.
I'm a big fat doody head and I eat boogers LOL!

As much as I like this (and his movies) the best Wii mod so far is the "bejewled" Zelda one.
