Yay or nay
Absolute kino until the later episodes when Screech gets uber flanderized
>>214282746yay
>>214282746its alright
kino. The apex of these type of shows
>>214282746I was never a fan as a kid.
>TIME OUTThe whole thing where Zack randomly has the power to stop time and bend reality to his whims is kino
>>214284741Watching this as an adult makes me wish I lifted weights as a kid.
born in 1986, use to watch the re-runs so much before school in the morning while I was getting ready. Wanted to be Zach.I re-watched them when I was older and I thought they held up. Made me laugh. I noticed the brain washing stuff going on but chose to ignore it. Can't give any examples but if you watch it you will know what I mean.
>Asian guy and latino fuck white chicks>The jew is after a black chickSaved by the Bell? More like Woked by the Bell?
>>214284941I mean it’s like MK Ultra: the show, but it’s funny
>>214282746I wish my name was "A.C. Slater". That's fucking sick
Who won your high school's bathing suit contest?
Are these reddit?
>>214285060yeah because Zack is based
>>214282746You had to be there. I watched it as a preteen when it was on NBC. It was in no way reflective of real life or how school or socializing works. It was never, ever funny. I watched it because it was on. I knew it wasn't good. We had basic cable and HBO and that was a pretty good package back then. But really we didn't watch much TV. We played outside riding bikes, shooting hoops, walking to the lake, etc. Saved By the Bell is a weird time capsule of what some weird facets of mainstream tv looked like. Without shit like Full House and Bell we wouldn't have Tim and Eric and sketches like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4csRoGP0V8
>>214285060>redditNo, they're Funny or Die. You can see them on Youtube. They are in no way related to reddit.
>>214285060These are peak Reddit.
>>214285167It was funny because it was so weird
Is there a decent quality version of the saved by the bell collage years opening song? I always thought that sounded like an anime opening for some reason.
>>214285025Exactly. Premises like that are what was so retarded about the show. And the way they portrayed "nerds" and "jocks" was insultingly one-note. The pocket protector and the shrill, nasally voice, the thick glasses and yet still squinting for some reason. The hullking football player with the letterman's jacket who actually says "Duhhh".These people do not exist in real life, and yet there's this stereotype of them that would be on tv and in movies. No nuance or humanity, just extremes.
Lisa > Kelly > Tori >>>> Jessie
>>214285167i didn't laugh once. i thought about it when he stabbed him in the gut but it didn't happen. this was gay.
>>214285228But it wasn't "weird". If you're younger than 30 you really can't know what it was because you're viewing it through a completely different lens. It was presented as a reality. At the time no one called them on it. It was just a daytime kids show no one bothered to analyze or review. I remember the weekly TV insert that came in the newspaper had the front page photo of Zack and Slater standing at the lockers about it and called it "a show about insensitive teens". That's it, there wasn't an article, it was just announcing this show was on and they were in high school now. We can look back on it and it seems weird, but everyone just accepted things before the internet. There was no discussion or awareness of it outside of teen girl rags like Tiger Beat where they had "heartthrob" posters to cut out of these guys. Do they even still make magazines like that anymore? The "Coreys" were all over those things. THAT seemed weird to me even at the time. Because boys I guess had Nintendo Power and Mad Magazine. I have no idea what I'm rambling about. Because I'm a "boomer" in his forties.
>>214285294>These people do not exist in real lifeIts not real life.
>>214285376Yeah, it's not really that kind of funny. Just like Saved By the Bell and Full House don't make anyone laugh either. I'm sure some facebook wine aunt type would genuinely laugh at something "cute" on Full House, but I don't actually know anyone like that; only that they exist and the world has a lot of them.
>>214284941You mean like the tall girl having ancestors who were slave owners?
>>214285470Yes, I know. But I really demand a little more characterization. If you are entertained by that kind of thing I envy you. I find it insulting. John Hughes movies are shallow and simple and they can have rounded out nerds and jocks. That might be too complex for you, you lucky dumb bastard.
>>214285533Archetypes are kino I'm sorry you can't see that.
>>214284941>>214284998/x/ is that way, schizos ------------->
>>214285545You're a simpleton philistine, and you'll never be able to see that about yourself. These shows are made for you. Of course you love their simplicity.
>>214284717:) i came to say this
>>214285580Classic 130 IQ midwit behavior.
>>214285533Nta but it was just stereotypes. It was extreme, but it was fun. Rewatching it I just think it's nice to see how the kids all love each other and it's one of those things where I'm like "wow I wish I had friends that cared about me like this".
>>214282746>A piece of media pre-2010It's a yay
>>214282746Saved by the Bell is a normie show like Friends or Power Rangers.
>>214285520And tori the biker dyke, snd the girl wants to wrestle, zach dates the black girl, zach dates the fat girl, zach dates the wheelchair girl and then they play wheelchair basketball always with the fucking wheelchairs with these people, oh and running zach the indian, and the one where they strike oil at Bayside. And dont forget zach dates the homeless girl
>>214285712And?>>214285861That's literally every TV show aimed at kids. Wake me up when there an episode where Zach dates a tranny.
>>214285937>And?what do you mean "and? "
>>214285861i am the anon born in 1986 and thanks for the laugh. i agree with what you are saying. don't quite remember the homeless girl.
>>214285455I thought Zoomers got a bunch of this stuff from Disney? Didn't they amp up these shows and make them for even younger kids?
>>214282746>Watched this as a teen>Think Jessie is the hottest> Showgirls comes out a few years laterThank you Lord for that movie & allowing me to see her jiggly pussy
>>214285455Eh, the first season of the show has some kinda surreal moments. Over time, it got more normal and was more about the interpersonal relationships of the week, but the early episodes were more just about like "hey, here's this wacky thing happening at school this week." Early on it was more like a live action cartoon. Understandable that the show progressed the way it did, given the age of the actors. Just made more sense to start leaning towards shows about people dating each other rather than middle school type stuff.
>>214284741Mario Lopez is very very gay.
>>214286098Saved by the Bell, Friends, and Power Rangers (first era) was good.
>>214286479Honestly I am incredibly jealous of this.
>>214282746It's a Mr Belding installs a hidden camera in the girls bathroom episode.
>>214285060It's entertaining to see all the goofy and unhinged things in old TV shows, but I think this is the progenitor of all those pointless multi-hour-long video essays that take children's media way too seriously. The writers of Saved By The Bell probably had to bang out like 30 episodes a year and didn't treat it like high art, whatever ways they could contrive a plotline together they did. Treating the characters as real humans is missing the point of a children's show, it's an illogical fantasy for kids with undeveloped brains
I'M SO EXCITED

>>214282746Its great.
Show got shit beyond repair in College years when Slater starts dating a ditsy girl who was essentially an even weirder Pheobe Buffay>>214285861Kek I remember every one of these.
Dustin Diamond's last days channeled my fear of dying knowing nobody likes me
>>214290484I'd be somewhat resentful if all my castmates were fucking each other and I wasn't getting anything.
>>214285580Nobody cares about your boring shit without archetypes
can't believe the new class lasted longer than the original.
