They did this on an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast as well. I suspect many things have done that joke... it's frequently funny, though!

This episode better have a lot of Bosco in it... or else...!

The "Clerks" animated series did it before that (and IMO did the best version of that gag ever).

Venture Bros. did it too.

marsan · 02/16/2008, 06:13 am

I remember an episode of The Simpsons too that did it, an Halloween special

Ah yes, I agree. The brilliance of doing a clip show on only their second episode. So funny that it was canceled immediately.

RobD · 02/16/2008, 11:05 am

IIRC the first episode of the Sam & Max TV series started like that with monsters and them getting married and such. Although I agree that the first episode of Clerks did it the best:

"Previously on Clerks..."

Harald B · 02/16/2008, 01:18 pm

Also the last episode of the Sam & Max series was a parody of the usual season review episodes, "looking back on" a lot of scenes that were actually never in the show.

"Hold it, Sam. Is this turning into one of those shows where we sit around and reminisce, thereby recouping 80% of the episode costs via the use of clips and archive footage?"
"Yes it is, Max. Now stop talking, stupid, it's costing money."

Laserschwert · 02/16/2008, 01:20 pm

"Clerks is drawn in front of a live studio audience."
and
"Clerks is drawn by a live studio audience."

Priceless!

Lars · 02/16/2008, 01:40 pm

Ah, yes. Much needed "Clerks: Animated" love.

flipperthepriest · 02/16/2008, 07:02 pm

Back onto plot speculkation on 204 however... I have honestly no idea. Except for maybe the desoto breaking down and getting a b-grade replacement.

Mel · 02/16/2008, 07:21 pm

Sorry, I thought this was cute.

I just hope the dog was treated well.

kadji-kun · 02/17/2008, 04:03 am

Keep in mind, S&M still has to end up on a small piece of rock in the middle of molten lava at some point. Speculation will lead to the fact that S&M are underneath the earth (Personally, I thought that scene was going to be in 202.)

Despite the speculation that THEM are aliens, you also think of what Flint said in 203. He can't find Bosco on earth's surface...bosco can still be underground.

Harald B · 02/17/2008, 04:39 am

Yes, I still think Bosco has just locked himself up inside his secret laboratory/bunker, deliberately or otherwise. He's certainly the kind of guy to rush into a months-long lockup and not think twice about it until the door closes.

Yeah they do. They set us up for it, and a handfull of us do want to see what that looks like from the other side.

Marty · 02/17/2008, 05:14 am

i actually enjoyed the absense of Bosco. He's an awesome character and all but it was a welcome break from the usual

Suppose so. Everyone will be angry otherwise.

not necessarily angry, just flooding the forums with "why didn't they end up in the lava?"

also if things were set it the center of the earth, why were things brought UP into the beam of light in other episodes?

RobD · 02/17/2008, 05:45 am

They could be saving the scene with lava for any other season after this one. It might only re-appear in 50 years time from now.
