I had to google this, but I understand what the original poster means now.
sharehow can you protect the image of a burnout?

Thread ender.
Because he can't. Ron Slater from Dazed and Confused came before Jay from Clerks. But I doubt that Slater was he first cinematic burn out.
By Grabthar's Hammer...what a savings.
He only resembled him with long hair and the hat. He didn't act like Jay at all.
shareA knit hat is one of the easiest ways to hide a wig in a film. Also, Jason Mewes' Jay character is based on Crispin Glover's character from the 1988 film "River's Edge", so he wasn't exactly first, either.

Aren't you relieved to know you're not a golem?
I don't think that the "Jay character" took that from anybody, from what I've heard and read that was basically the way Jason Mewes was growing up. Kevin Smith talked about how he gave him that role originally in Clerks because he wasn't an actor and wouldn't need to act really, just be himself.
But that kind of image was not something he started or popularized, that's just a long haired white guy stoner with a hat look that was around before. Maybe Mewes was inspired by a movie as a child and maybe they liked Jay and Silent Bob when they made this movie, but I don't think that has to be the case.
They have a podcast and Mewes mentioned the similarities in how they looked and made a funny joke that if the two of them were to ever walk too close together in public it would be like two opposite ends of a magnet trying to come together. Made me chuckle.
