Buttercup: (holds up blanket) Wow, remember this? My old lucky blanket.
Blossom: How could we forget?
(Clip from the episode "Cover-Up".)
Blossom: (As Bubbles shakers her head) You couldn't fight without it.
Buttercup: ... (tosses aside blanket) I don't remember.
Bubbles: Remember when Mojo turned us into dogs?
(Clip from the episode "Monkey See, Doggie Do".)
Blossom: (laughs) Remember when he tried it again?
(Clip from the episode "Monkey See, Doggie Too" — which is a clipshow in itself; it even has the same footage of Mojo Jojo dropping the Anubis head from the previous footage.)
Blossom: (holds up a baby bottle) Hey! Does this ring a bell, anybody?
(Close-up of the baby bottle. No immediate response.)

Mokuba: According to the computer, it will take us exactly one episode to reach our destination.
Kaiba: An entire episode just sitting in a helicopter? How the hell are we going to pass the time?
Yugi: Well, we could either play a card game-
Kaiba: Without super-advanced holograms? Are you out of your mind?
Yugi: -or we could flash back to previous episodes in an attempt to save the animators time and money.
Kaiba: Wouldn't that just piss off all our viewers and send our ratings plummeting into the ground?
Yugi: Yep.
Kaiba: (evil smirk) Let's do it.

They'll never stop The Simpsons!
Have no fears, we've got stories for years, like,
Marge becomes a robot!
Maybe Moe gets a cell phone,
Has Bart ever owned a bear, or,
How 'bout a crazy wedding?
Where something happens, and do do do do do do.
Sorry for the clipshow!

Gah! This is like one of those TV episodes where the cheap producers re-use old clips because they’re too lazy to write new stuff!
