That's my second favorite part in this episode, right after the flashback with the kid yelling "Go Sexy Randal, the Pharoah Wizard". This is probably my second favorite episode of the series, especially since it spoofed my favorite of the Indiana Jones flicks.

Jay: "Yeah! Rip his heart out!"
Priest: "Great, that just ruined everything. *puts heart back in* Thanks a bunch. Get them."

I can relate to this episode more than I should. I took a girl out to dinner and Daredevil for Valentine's Day and two weeks later she e-mailed me and said she was a lesbian. My friend walked by while I was writing the reply. I also showed that same friend my Clerks DVD a long time ago. After I lightened up over the whole lesbian thing, I compared myself to Randel and my friend is all like "that only happened once, though."

The episode that sexy pharaoh wizards are made off. I love this episode from the Asian "servants" who will do "anything"to Randal and get turned down for a stack of dirty magazines to the temple of Doom reference to the how the bottle travels from Randal to Dante just to be thrown away . I also loved the names of the teams they were hilarious such as the handicapable lady lions . And there is so much more

That joke is even better because of Randal's thing for Asian chicks.

I have been watching this show every week, but have just never taken the time to comment on the show. I enjoyed this one just like every other week and I like how Charles Barkley keeps popping up. The Star Wars thing would have to be my favorite part as well.

I also really enjoyed the chain of how Randal's note almost got to Dante and how they found him anyway.

So next week is the last one then right? I heard only like six were made before Kevin Smith got ABC at him.

For some reason I didn't care too much for this episode the first time I saw it, but it grew on me a lot each time I watched it. Good stuff.

Overall Grade: A+ (the lowest grade any Clerks episode is capable of receiving)

Heh.

ABC only initially ordered 6 episodes, and aired two before cancelling the show (the first episode aired on the same night as NCAA finals and the very first episode of Survivor).

I think this episode was probably the best one - it's really where everything gelled together. I think this is the one I've watched the most on DVD because it was so good - the Temple, the moped, the baseball games, the pharoh wizard. *sigh*, good times. I just wish I could regain the joy of watching these for the first time
