TV characters you wish had died painful deaths

…11. Marie Barone, Everybody Loves Raymond

Subverting the “clip show” episode

1. “City on the Edge of Forever” - South Park
2. “The Clip show Wherein Dante and Randal are Locked in the Freezer and Remember Some of the Great Moments in Their Lives” - Clerks: The Animated Series

It was the second episode of the series, so they ran clips from the first episode.

Not only did they get their own flashbacks wrong, they even misremembered themselves in clips from _other_ shows.
