I hate to correct you but as a fan of both Penn and Teller and Silent Bob, both have spoken.  Silent Bob speaks in Chasing Amy in his one spoken piece which just brought the whole movie around.  

Teller spoke in a Comedy Central special showing the pain when a joke failed when he told the audience to "laugh, he wasn't the first Teller Penn's gone through"  (They were doing one of their more...bloody shows, quite funny actually).  

Kevin Smith usually doesn't speak due to the fact he simply doesn't like to.  Teller's non speaking is a running gag that was even bought to the television series "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" when he played Skippy, the Overlord's Underling (Penn played Drell, the head of the Witches Council in many episodes).

  Silent Bob is part of the team of Jay and Silent Bob created by 
  director Kevin Smith in the movie "Clerks."

  They have appeared in several of the director's subsequent films and 
  have been the focus of many of them. (Incidentally, Kevin Smith plays 
  the part of Silent Bob himself - so-named because he never says 
  anything; sort of like Teller, of Penn and Teller fame.)

  They have an enormous cult following here in the states. Don't know 
  how well-received they are across the pond, however.
