Man, I just appreciate Kevin Smith so much. No matter what you think of the guy, you’ve got to admit that in person he’s just an amazing and engaging story teller. The man is also quick on his feet.
This past weekend at Comic Con he was doing a session and some guy stepped up to the mic to ask a question, only he thought he was going to be a smart ass and get away with it… he didn’t get away with it. Smith just dealt him pure humiliation (in a pretty damn funny way. Check the video out:

I am not the biggest Kevin Smith fan; however, there is showing some respect in public…the guy asking the question reaped what he hath sowed.
That’s really mature, professional comeback there, Smith; didn’t stoop down to the guy’s level at all.
I was there and it was funny. To bad Reaper sucked.
Sure the guy had a reasonable question, but he said it in such an attacking manor. There’s more reasonable ways of asking the same question, but with different words. “IS Clerks 2 REALLY the last Jay and Bob film” could have worked. But honestly, I don;t think the guy wanted an answer, I think he wanted to just make fun of Smith..just that he underestimated the fact that the audience quite possibly filled with quite a bit of Smith’s humble fans. Smith did says “I give you props for having balls..sorta”..which is a true statement..to do such a thing in front of an audience of Smith-soanians and Smith himself staring back with a microphone does take some balls..but in the end, what he really did was no better than the dumbasses that attack him on his forums.
Willing to bet the guy is a fan who has seen Smith’s Evening Harder films and was hoping to get ripped. And he got his wish. By a master.
kevin smith showed why he he is si funny and man that guy got so owned
I think kevin smiths got a lot og guts in whatever he decides to do, i got a lot of respect for people like him. Yes the heckler could have put his question in a less malicious way, so he deserved everything he got
the guy had a good question though…
making a joke about fucking someones mom is hardly the height of clever comebacks…..
lets face it the one time smith went out side his comfort zone he gave us fucking jersey girl…
and then he went back to the well and made the god awful embarrassingly desperate clerks 2…..
i love most of his films….the first clerks, mallrats and chasing amy is fucking awesome but I really think the guys question was totally fair.
this is more crap showing kevin smiths unprofessionalism
That Guy Was A Douche Bag & Kevin Smith is GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hot Damn! Kevin awesome.
“Kinda” is going to be the new “like” of the younger generation…
Kevin Smith is the man! Do yourself a favor and check out his weekly podcasts.
They also announced he is directing an episode (maybe the first episode) of the “Heroes” spinoff “Heroes: Origins”: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=63831867&blogID=293679127
You have to respect the man. He took a chance, went in pretty good sized debt to make clerks. It paid off, and this is why. He is creative and fucking hilarious. And Salem, I don’t recall every seeing him being vindictive towards anyone unless they brought it on themselves.
BURN! PWND! Oh, the pain!
Damn, OWNED.
This reminds me of Bill Hicks at his best… like the Chicago show in ’92: “Sir, put your cock in her mouth and shut her up! Oh… it’s already in there…”
Smith is the man, and he just keeps on proving it!
Haha that was great. He is a funny guy.
What he does for a living is what he loves to do and he does not care what any one else thinks about that. What else is there?
He’s just got the gift. I actually share my birthday with Mr Smith. It doesn’t mean anything, but i still find it very cool.

Thats so awesome. Hecklers suck and Kevin Smith can put his cock in my mom’s ass any day…kinda.
Even though Kevin can be a bit of a prick at times, I must admit, he’s pretty damn whitty!
That ruled, and that guy deserved every burn he got.
That is perfect. Especially, “…kinda”.
