Addendum:

Upon request from my only reader (Hi Jennifer) I've researched this clip and determined it comes from a CBS Schoolbreak special (The Cracked Magazine of after-school edu-tainment) from 1984, "Ace Hits the Big Time". A link is below if you wish to watch the whole thing. I prefer to remain context free.
