And it is a funny movie as well. I don't personally think that anything in Mallrats compares to the Comiccon nubian fight between Banky and Hooper. That is just classic Kevin Smith.
Clerks is a damn good movie, but Mallrats was piss poor by the standards established by Clerks and then followed by Chasing Amy and, even, Dogma. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Mallrats every once in a while, but it is the worst of the Jersey Quintilogy (is that a word?).
