Trivia:

In the episodes "Goin' Down the Road: Part 1" and "Goin' Down the Road: Part 2", during the scene where Craig and Jimmy are talking in the movie theater food court, two posters for Kevin Smith's movies Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Clerks can be seen in the background. This was because Kevin Smith had a guest spot in these two episodes.

Quotes:

Alanis Morisette/Principal: [to Jay and Silent Bob] You boys are too bloody stupid to make the grade down in the States and your last hope is the school system of the great white north, eh? You want to get oot of grade 12?
[Silent Bob nods vigorously]
Alanis Morisette/Principal: You better start learning what the metric system is all aboot!
Jay: I've got three words for you. Go... to...
Alanis Morisette/Principal: [smacks him across the jaw with a hockey stick] There'll be no more cuss words out of you, you potty-mouthed mallrats. You're gonna learn the dual languages of my home and native land, or you're gonna savor my poutine. 'Cuz you're in Canada now, eh?

Very Disappointing...

I happen to be a big Kevin smith fan. And I love Jay and Silent Bob. When I bought the Jay and Silent Bob do Degrassi, I thought that the characters Jay and silent bob were going to go to school and hit on all the high school girls and make all the other male kids look stupid by some some very funny witty stuff. I had high hopes for this DVD. But when I got home and watched this, I was so bummed to find out that it was only Kevin Smith making a jay a silent bob film in Canada. Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of his work. But when you see a DVD cover with Jay and Silent Bob With a bunch of high school kids, you expect to see the actual characters messing up these kid's minds and tappin some ass...
