Ep 11. Return of the Mewes

Comic Book Men is a reality television series that follows the staff of Kevin Smith's comic book store, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, located in Red Bank, New Jersey. In the show's sixth season, episode 11, titled Return of the Mewes, the fun-loving and quick-witted Jason Mewes, known for his role as Jay in the Jay and Silent Bob franchise, returns to the stash for a visit.

The episode kicks off with Walt Flanagan, the manager of the comic book store, and his co-hosts Mike Zapcic, Ming Chen, and Bryan Johnson, discussing their fond memories of Mewes from his past appearances on the show. Mewes enters the store, clowning around and engaging in his signature banter as he explores the stash and chats with the guys.

The main focus of the episode centers on Mewes' interest in vintage toys, particularly those from the Masters of the Universe franchise. He discovers a rare, unopened Castle Grayskull playset from the 1980s which he's been searching for and is eager to acquire. However, there's a catch - the playset comes at a steep price, and Mewes is hesitant to drop that much cash.

As a result, the guys try to come up with creative ways to convince Mewes to add the Castle Grayskull playset to his collection. They show him other Masters of the Universe toys they have in stock, including an original He-Man figurine signed by the character's creator, which they hope will peak his interest. They also enlist the help of Mewes' friend, and fellow Jay and Silent Bob star, Kevin Smith, to give him a call and encourage him to pull the trigger on the purchase.

In addition to the toy negotiations, the episode also features some early Halloween fun. Mewes helps the guys set up a haunted house in the basement of the store to scare unsuspecting customers. Hilarity ensues as the guys get into costume and try to spook their visitors.

Throughout the episode, the camaraderie between the staff of the comic book store is evident as they joke around and support each other's interests. Whether it's debating the best superhero movie or commiserating over failed toy purchases, the guys' passion for all things pop culture is infectious.

Return of the Mewes is a must-watch for fans of the Comic Book Men series and anyone who enjoys nerd culture and playful banter. The episode showcases the unique personalities and relationships of the shop's staff and is a great example of why the show has become a cult classic over the years.
