Love that detail about Clerks: The Animated Series!

So It’s Come to This: Clip Shows

1. I Can’t Believe It’s a Clip Show - The Critic

8. Shades of Gray - Star Trek: The Next Generation
9. The Clipshow Wherein Dante and Randal are Locked in the Freezer and Remember Some of the Great Moments in Their Lives - Clerks: The Animated Series
10. City on the Edge of Forever - South Park

Per Wiki, it shows scenes from previous episodes, but the details are always wrong, and in the end, everyone gets ice cream.
