Okay, let's talk Saved by the Bell. Specifically, Screech. And even more specifically, a potential Screech wedding in Vegas.
Unpopular opinion alert: I think it could have been amazing. Hear me out before you throw your Trapper Keepers at me.
Why a Screech Wedding Could Have Rocked
Imagine this: bright lights, cheesy Elvis impersonators, and Dustin Diamond bringing his A-game. Plus, think of the potential for Zany antics with Zach, Slater, and the whole Bayside gang!
Let’s be honest, Screech never really got the girl. A Vegas wedding might have given him a chance at happiness, even if it was fleeting and filled with questionable fashion choices. It's a sitcom, right? The more chaos, the better.
Think about the possibilities! A bachelorette party involving Bayside’s robot, Kevin? A bachelor party with Slater doing questionable dance-offs? This is pure comedic gold waiting to happen.
The Supporting Cast Shenanigans
Zack Morris, of course, would try to scam his way into free champagne. Slater would probably accidentally knock over a slot machine during the reception. Kelly Kapowski would gracefully try to keep everyone from killing each other.
And Lisa Turtle? She’d be designing the most outrageous, unforgettable wedding dress, of course! Think leopard print and sequins… lots of sequins!
Can't you just picture Mr. Belding awkwardly trying to give relationship advice? "Now remember, kids, communication is key! And no running in the casino!"
Let's Be Real: It Would Be Hilariously Bad
Look, I'm not saying it would be *good*. I'm saying it would be wonderfully, spectacularly, train-wreck-you-can't-look-away bad. And isn’t that what made Saved by the Bell so great?
The wedding vows alone could be a source of endless amusement. Imagine Screech reciting lines from a science fiction movie instead of promising eternal love.
And the wedding cake? Probably decorated with binary code or a giant robot. Guaranteed to be the weirdest, most unforgettable cake in Vegas history.
"I mean, come on! We all secretly wanted Screech to find love, even if it was in the most ridiculous way possible."
My (Probably Wrong) Conclusion
Maybe I’m romanticizing the whole thing. Maybe a Screech wedding would have been a complete disaster. But I still think it would have been an amazing addition to the Saved by the Bell legacy.
It would have been a celebration of everything that made the show so charming: the silliness, the bad jokes, and the unwavering loyalty of the Bayside crew.
So, let’s raise a glass (of non-alcoholic sparkling cider, naturally) to the Screech wedding that never was. And let’s all agree that sometimes, the most ridiculous ideas are the best ones. Right?
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch reruns and dream of robot wedding cakes.
