Weekend Discussion Thread: Stingers from Shorts that Might Have Been

Alert regular Sitting Duck suggests:

There have been a few occasions where an episode’s stinger used a clip from the short instead of the feature. So what scene from a short not used in a stinger do you think is stinger-worthy? I’m going with, “Why don’t they look?” from Last Clear Chance in Radar Secret Service.

Oh definitely from “Here Comes the Circus”: doin’ it clown style.

Your pick?

    Clown Style bears repeating, in my opinion. If clowns are the stuff of childhood trauma, then Clown Style extends that into adolescence and beyond. Aahhhh! Visions of Mimi from the Drew Carey Show!!

    EricJ: Well, it’s a little too easy to just make any line sound huh-huh out of context…And btw, AREN’T you a little short for a Stormtrooper?

    …… I just.. sigh.

    Anyway, yes, please return the Edit button. And possibly add an “Ignore User” button.

    I’m still sort of aghast at shows 805-808 that didn’t have “normal” stingers, so here goes!

    805 – “Thing that Couldn’t Die” – Gideon’s eyes get REALLY big when the chest is open.
    806 – “Undead” – Stay Helene. Go! STAY!
    807 – “Terror From the Year 5000” – Angelo is mesmerized (Jimmy Carter has disco fever).
    808 – “She Creature” – Pretty much ANY scene with the unintelligible butler.

    As for replacing some of the stingers from shorts…
    0406 – “Attack of the Giant Leeches” – Lem’s gonna clean his otter lines out before morning, or perhaps, “Go soak your fat head!”
    0510 – “Painted Hills” – Pile On Pete!

    -A Case of Spring Fever: “NO SPRINGS!!!” (whistle)

    As for my own inclusion:

    -Robot Rumpus: Gumbo getting a wrench thrown through him.
