There are many things to love about “Saved by the Bell” in the way it captured the unique crappiness of the early ’90s. Zack Morris’s gigantic cell phone. The brightly colored clothes. Kelly Kapowski’s power bangs. The way Dustin Diamond’s Screech made Steve Urkel look like a carefully crafted Shakespearean character. But there’s little argument that the episode where Jesse gets hooked on caffeine pills is the apex of the series. Her rendition of “I’m So Excited” as she melts down in front of Zack is a flash of the dramatic genius that would later make Showgirls a timeless classic (and make me believe that the female orgasm involved flopping around in a pool like a dolphin caught in a tuna net).
Anyway, that brings us to the video above. It could be edited down a bit more, but it’s still a worthy tribute to this bastion of the mindless entertainment gruel that we all so loved back then. Man, the ’90s. What a crazy time. It was actually okay to have frizzy hair.

Why are you talking about “power bangs” like they are a thing of the past?

Lives in the midwest.
thanks for posting my vid guys! its actually a dj edit i made for when im spinning, thats why theres an intro and an outro on it.
I’d bang Mr. Belding right now just to say I did. Also because Dennis Haskins has a hot ass. But mostly just to say I did.
I’d bang Miss Bliss right now just to say I did.
I see Screech, but who’s the microphone/broom handle holding cleaning lady in the girl’s locker room?
My thirty-four year old self would still kill* to be power-banged by Kelly.
*A hobo or a hooker or someone else meaningless. I don’t want to be committing a murder I’d feel guilty about later on.
Zack Morris’s gigantic cell phone. The brightly colored clothes. Kelly Kapowski’s power bangs.
Change Cell Phone to Blackberry and you’ve described the modern day Brooklyn hipster.
My twelve year old self would have killed to be power-banged by Kelly.
I haven’t seen a Pole licked like that since Lewis/Golota.
Remember when Zack pretended to be Jewish to go to a Dodgers game? Haha, silly 90s, nobody like the Dodgers or Jews!
Female orgasm?!
Haha! Good one, Jay!
