The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a Saved by the Bell-style sitcom, smooth student Tommy, his girlfriend Heather and their friend Karen trade wholesome banter while goofballs Rex and Scooter close each scene with a corny catchphrase and a freeze-frame. Heather and Karen soon realize that every freeze skips ahead in time: their clothes change, a sandwich vanishes and Tommy suddenly has a pierced ear. The pranksters keep joking anyway, and each jump gets darker, leaving Rex paralyzed, Karen and then Scooter dead, and Rex arrested by a detective at the funeral home before Heather wakes up from what was only a dream.

Highly quotable.
I'll work in the cafeteria wherever you go.
How many days just went by during that freezeframe?
Guys, I just realized I don't even think I have parents.

Notes from the archive.
The parody’s closing credits bill Matt Meese as a “Special Guest” playing the Detective.
The rabbit hole continues
One more couldn’t hurt.
