Get a Life: Clip Show (1992)

Synopsis of Get a Life: Clip Show

"Clip Show" opens with Chris (Chris Elliott) sitting on an airplane, in mid-flight, excited about his journey to Iraq, which his father has convinced him is "the Disneyland of the Middle East." Chris gets up to use the men's room. "Too many free Sprites," he explains. Thinking it's the bathroom door, he inadvertently opens the exit to the plane, and begins a long plummet to his probable death. He quickly grows tired of screaming -- he'd hate to die with a sore throat -- and his life begins to flash before his eyes. "For some reason," he says, "I can only remember things that happened about a year and a half ago." His memories take the form of clips from Get a Life's first two (well, as it turned out, only two) seasons. "Sometimes the production values of my life simply amaze me," Chris exalts after a clip of "Zoo Animals on Wheels." The highlight of this wonderful trip down short-term memory lane is a long montage of the times Chris was punched, slapped, beaten, bludgeoned, strangled, stabbed, shot, run over, beheaded, and crushed by a boulder. The last thing Chris remembers is a delightful clip of him inadvertently walking out of the airplane. "How did I get out of that one?" he wonders. The show has added poignancy in hindsight, with the knowledge that it was the last original episode of the series ever to air. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi
