Jumping the shark and nuking the fridge- all phrases for absurd plots. First is That 70's show parody of Fonzie's jumping the shark routine, next is a visual of indy coming out of the fridge and 3rd is a pic of Fonzie
1. Parody of 'Jumping the Shark' originally done by Fonzie in Happy Days. 2. Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. 3. Fonzie himself.
Connect is the TV-term 'Jumping the Shark' and its movie equivalent 'Nuking the Fridge' which was taken from the Indiana Jones movie.
"jumping the shark" something done to rekindle interest in some series which people have lost interest in the first video parodies it, the 2nd one is a similar, from indi4 called nuke the fridge. no idea about the last one
'Nuke the fridge' and 'Jump the shark'? Parody of Fonzie (pic III), in the 'that 70s show' (vid I), jumping the shark.. :) Ford (pic II) is the obvious Indiana Jones nuking the fridge connect..
Fonzie from Happy days, Harrison ford in the Crystal skull and a video from That 70s show that parodies Fonzie "jumping the shark". That phrase has since been used to indicate a show that has outlived its charms. "Nuking the fridge" is a similarly coined phrase that indicates a movie that has simply gone too far in its outlandishness. "Jumping the couch" is another neologism along similar lines.

Jumping the Shark
Nuking the Fridge
Video isn't accessible here - though I'm assuming it must be Jumping the Couch or some such
"Jumping the Shark" originating from the Happy Days episode becoming synonymous with "Nuking the Fridge".
Both refer to the point in a show at which the plot development starts going downhill
