This one was done because of an episode of ER. The day this aired, ER had both a monkey and a robot on the show. We found this to be terribly stupid (not that we watch the show to begin with).
So Mer just had to do this one.
For those of you who haven't heard of the term "Jumping the Shark" it comes from Happy Days. There was an episode where the Fonz decided to jump over a shark on waterskis. This was really stupid, and many people saw this as a lame attempt to draw people back to a dying show. It was seen as the point at which the show officially died.
So whenever a show does some sort of crazy stunt to try and hang on a little longer, it's called "Jumping the Shark".
