Ah, see I misremembered that the plot of them getting stuck in the freezer was the story of their bottle episode finale, when it's instead the framing device for this clip show. Which is a brilliant concept, making the second episode of the series into a clipshow when you only have one prior episode and events from earlier in this episode to flash back on, until they just start making up random events to fill in the pasts of our clerks, as we get to see both of the first times Dante and Randall ever met, celebrities who stopped by, various road trip adventures to foreign convenience stores, and learn about Randal's two husbands. Which does unfortunately continue this series' wincing homophobia, especially when they go to England for an entire gag built around "f-gs". Not to mention the trip to India that tries to put an ironic flip on racism, but oof. The Schindler's List/Flintstones parody though, that I like because it went so wildly far as to circle back to being amusing. There's not much to it otherwise, even when Jay & Silent Bob get added to the mix, but I do like the continued situations of for them to get trapped in, especially the "next week on" flash to them being right back in that same mess. And kudos to the "helpful hints with Jay & Silent Bob" end segment on this episode, which is so deeply wrong I was rolling with laughter.
