I would agree with Dave except for the description of bullet-proof. Yes, it most likely would be fair use and would stand up in court. But to be bulletproof, that would entail hiring a lawyer like Michael Donaldson of Donaldson + Callif (Los Angeles) or J.Stephen Sheppard of Cowan DeBaets Abrahams and Sheppard (New York) to vet your Fair Use and from that, to get E&O insurance to back up the claim. I think Continental and Axis were the cheapest. But that's about $10,000 to $15,000, so if it's only one or two clips, it's cheaper to pay for rights if you want to be bulletproof without the E&O.
