Why does "of" come after "get out"? Is it an idiom?

Excellent question, however this is not an idiom. As you can see in the clip, the dog is physically sitting in his fruit. He's telling him to stop being "in" his fruit. "Get out" means to leave and "of" followed by a place tells us the place or location we need to leave. Ex: Get out of my bedroom, Luke! (Leave my bedroom) Ex: I want to get out of the country for a few days. (Leave the country).
