What SAVED BY THE BELL taught me!

[britrogue]

Yeah, well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion

 

[Catman]

Obviously.

 

[chamber-music]

come on didn't you even like City Guys Catman

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

City Guys was the bomb.

 

[Jspider13]

Zack and Slater FIGHT!

That fight was great until they started holding eachother...

 

[Pirate_Robinson]

LOL @ Screech, he gets no respect.

 

[Catman]

didn't you even like City Guys

Nope.

LOL @ Screech, he gets no respect.

Screech was good for the first season and a half. You know...back when he was Zack's partner. Then, Zack and Slater became best friends and Screech was pushed to the side and turned into a really annoying character!

 

[Road Warrior]

I just watched the episode where they formed the band Zack Attack

You know what I never understood about that episode? Where was Jessie? She wasn't good enough for Zack's fantasy?!

 

[Catman]

She was too busy getting pole dancing lessons!

 

[Abaddon]

DON'T TAKE CAFFEINE PILLS!!!!

I'M SO EXCITED...I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT.

hahahahahaha, I still think back and laugh about that whenever Saved by the Bell comes up.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

I learned that if you don't invest wisely you may end up a washed up, fat, drunk. Who may rock out with Tony Romo one day.

 

[Catman]

Belding is a pimp these days!

 

[SoulManX]

Belding is a pimp these days!

 

[Showtime]

The episode where Slater announces he is "Chicano" is on right now. It's as if he is coming out, because Zack "always thought he was Italian". Hilarious.

 

[Matt]

Everytime I watch an episode of Saved by the Bell I see that E/I icon at the bottom of the screen. That, of course, indicates that it's an educational program. Yet...after all these years I'm still not sure what I was supposed to learn from this show. That is why I decided to make a list of everything I did learn and see if there is anything there to convince me that SBTB deserves to be an educational show.

What I learned from Saved by the Bell:

1. No one will find it disturbing that SOMEHOW I managed to get poster of my school crush.
2. My friends will kill my pet Lizard.
3. High School has a population of 20 students.
4. All my teachers are either deaf, blind, or an annoying fat guy!
5. My friends will be in all my classes.
6. I'll have enough time to participate in every school activity and sport.
7. The Principal will not only be a sub for my class, but will trust me to install a CD player in his expensive car and deliver his baby when I'm trapped in the elevator with his wife.
8. If I get in trouble enough times my mother will have her own parking space.
9. I can hire an actor to pretend to be my father.
10. I can throw birthday parties in the Prinicpal's office.
11. The entire school will go out of their way to teach me a lesson.
12. My enemy and I will become best friends.
13. Caffeine pills will turn me into a crazy person.
14. My 15 yr old girlfriend will dump me for a college student.
15. At 17 I can go on a vacation to Hawaii by myself and hook up with a young MILF.
16. Even though I'm a D-student I can still get a 1500 on my SATs and get accepted into Harvard.
17. When I get to college I will finally realized that I'm hispanic!

Feel free to add more!

Haha thats pretty funny, and in regards to number 1, don't forget...you can get a cardboard cut out of her too

 

[Showtime]

The question is, did Mikey lift over the Summer, change his name, and come back as AC Slater.

Saved by the Bell: Where Are They Now?

[ Thursday, May 11 ] @ 3:58 am — Filed under: tv, wtf
By: Corey —
Just about everyone my age has seen Saved by the Bell, and because it was a show my generation grew up with, I’d wager a bet that more than half of us have probably seen every episode of the cheesy Saturday morning television show (if not, don’t worry, there is no shortage of SBTB reruns). But whatever happened to the actors that played the classic characters of Bayside High? I got curious and decided to find out.



Zack Morris - Mark-Paul Gosselaar

By far the most popular character and actor of the bunch, Mark Paul Gosselaar has also been the most successful alumnus of the show. After a slew of made for tv movies (one where he notably date raped Candice Cameron from Full House fame) In 1998, Gosselaar starred in the mediocre feature film Dead Man On Campus, where he played a character comparable to Zack Morris with a drinking problem. After that it was a few more tv guest appearances and movies before landing a recurring role on NYPD Blue. After that was cancelled, Gosselaar gained another recurring character last year on Commander in Chief, which, unfortunately for him, is now teetering on cancellation. Tough luck, Preppy. Mark-Paul most recently saw the birth of his second child earlier this week. Here’s a fun fact: he met his wife on the set of Saved by the Bell: The College Years.

AC Slater – Mario Lopez

If you’re enough of a pop culture historian to know that AC stands for Alfred Clifford, then you probably also know Mario fell victim to the vicious cycle of made for tv movies and defunct television series’ such as Pacific Blue, or numerous shows on Animal Planet. Two years ago, he married the mega-hot Ali Landry, the supermodel most people know as the Doritos chick, but the marriage lasted for only a month before Landry had it annulled. According to IMDB.com, Landry left him because he was caught cheating on her at his bachelor party, as well as after they were married. No Doritos for you, Mario.

Kelly Kapowski – Tiffani-Amber Thiessen

Thiessen was easily the cutest of the SBTB bunch, and as such, scored the part of Valerie on Beverly Hills 90210. In 1999, her boyfriend, actor David Strickland of Suddenly Susan committed suicide. Last year she directed a short film called Just Pray, which screened and placed at several film festivals. She also married actor Brady Smith in the same year. Thiessen continues to be hot.

Screech Powers – Dustin Diamond

Sadly, the years have not been kind to Dustin. After SBTB ended, Diamond stayed on for Saved by the Bell: The New Class, an undisputed bomb. Around this time, he also dated Candice Cameron. For some time, websites occassionally sprung up to harass Diamond and his character ‘Screech,’ portraying him as a homosexual in a much less than flattering light. In 2001, he produced an instructional video Dustin Diamond Teaches Chess. His most notable appearances have been roles where he plays himself, such as in Celebrity Boxing, Made, and Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. He currently works as a raunchy standup comedian.

Jessie Spano – Elizabeth Berkley

Elizabeth Berkley starred in Showgirls in 1995 and was subsequently de facto shunned by Hollywood, being relegated to minor roles in mediocre made for tv or independent films. I have it on good authority that this has caused her to once again become addicted to caffeine pills. Most recently she was in an Off-Broadway production of HurlyBurly, which opened 11 months ago.

Lisa Turtle – Lark Voohries

After SBTB, Voohries dated, believe it or not, Martin Lawrence. The only other noteworthy achievements the former Lisa Turtle achieved were a guest role on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and a secondary role in the 2001 stoner movie How High. Ultimately, it appears Lark Voohries also fell victim to the post-SBTB success curse. Fun fact: She’s a Jehovah’s Witness. Yeah.

Tori Scott – Leanna Creel

No one cares about Tori.

Mr. Belding – Dennis Haskins

Oh how the mighty have fallen. First off, Mr. Belding has put on a considerable amount of weight. I’m also led to believe he is an alcoholic: here is every movie and every picture on collegehumor.com with Mr. Belding. Most of them have to either do with him doing shots, hanging out with college students, or drunkenly singing karaoke. Simply amazing. I remember when Mario Lopez, Dustin Diamond, and Dennis Haskins came to Ohio State a couple of years ago and Haskins was adamant that we do something to improve the world around us and better our fellow man. Apparently, bettering your fellow man involves butchering Tom Jones.

With the exception of preppy boy Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, the SBTB alumni have not been able to achieve any lasting mainstream success – what success they do garner will always be overshadowed by “Oh you were so and so on Saved by the Bell.”



Solution: Put Saved by the Bell back in production with the original cast and change the setting from a high school to an office. I tell ya, I’m sitting on a veritable goldmine with this baby.

That article is horribly inaccurate.

Lisa was the cutest one, Kelly was just the sexiest one. Mario Lopez is auditioning to host The Price is Right after Bob Barker leaves. And Screech's stand up comedy which I've had the misfortune of seeing is not raunchy. In fact, it is incredibly corny and every joke somehow ties into the fact that he was on Saved the Bell.

On the other hand, they are right that no one gives a damn about Tori.

 

[SoulManX]

Poor Tori

 

[Catman]

The episode where Slater announces he is "Chicano" is on right now. It's as if he is coming out, because Zack "always thought he was Italian". Hilarious.

Slater took that whole dumb jock s--t to a whole new level.

The question is, did Mikey lift over the Summer, change his name, and come back as AC Slater.

lol I love Mikey, man! I was kinda disappointed when SBTB premiered cause I was like, "where the f--k is Mikey?" But, in the first season Screech actually made a better sidekick since it made more sense from a comedic stand point. The producers really ruined the Screech character by pushing him aside so Zack and Slater could be partners in crime.

That article is horribly inaccurate.

It was written a few years back, I believe.

Lisa was the cutest one, Kelly was just the sexiest one.

Sort of. They were both really cute in the first season. Kelly didn't really become sexy till she, you know, matured!

Mario Lopez is auditioning to host The Price is Right after Bob Barker leaves.

And Screech's stand up comedy which I've had the misfortune of seeing is not raunchy. In fact, it is incredibly corny and every joke somehow ties into the fact that he was on Saved the Bell.

Same here!

On the other hand, they are right that no one gives a damn about Tori.

That crazy lesbian! Its sad but more people care about Leah Remini as Stacy Corresi than Tori!

 

[ges681]

My favorite SBTB clip....lol

[Catman]

Yes, that is everyone's favorite scene!

 

[Matt]

Why didn't they have Jesse use weed or something? To get addicted to over the counter caffeine pills is just so...bizzare.

 

[ComicChick]

The question is, did Mikey lift over the Summer, change his name, and come back as AC Slater.

i think that question could also be brought up about Nikki (i think her name was Nikki, but i'm too lazy to find a pic)

she lost the glasses, got a makeover, changed her name to Kelly...

TIME OUT! Kelly?!?!?! Don't you mean Jessie? Nikki and Jessie were ALMOST the same! They were both super liberal and over-achievers! Remember the episode where Nikki didn't want to disect frogs, so she broke into the classroom, stole them, then freed them?

To get addicted to over the counter caffeine pills is just so...bizzare.

If the professor on Gilligan's Island could turn coconuts into phones then why couldn't he escape the island?! Some shows are just bizzare like that!
