: ...who came first?
: Silent Bob or Sideshow Bob? I think the Simpsons was out for, what, 4 years by the time Clerks dropped so Sideshow should have had the lead.
: It hadn't dawned on me that there were simularities, such as both characters being sidekicks of a couple of idiots or that Sideshow used to be silent, too. Both target audiences are about the same. Oh, and, yeah... the whole "Bob" thing, I suppose is worth noting.
: Is there more to this or just mere coincidence?
