Played by some now iconic actors such as Mario Lopez, Elizabeth Berkley, Mark-Paul Grosselaar and Dustin Diamond, the series follows the teens throughout their fun-filled days at Bayside school and their antic-filled nights at their favorite hangout, The Max. Told from the kids' point of view, Saved By The Bell presents the conflicts and chuckles that teen romances inevitably deliver.

Caffeine addiction is no joke, after high school, Jessie changed her name and ran away to Las Vegas to become a showgirl-all to feed her addiction.
It was so tragic. She bought a Versace dress and celebrated...with a burrito.
Really
Now she's the guidance counselor
@@80srocknroller it's always the messed up ones that become that
@@scorpiocara6798 In the teaser she took away the caffeine pills off Zack's son Mac saying: "Are those caffeine pills?"
This makes more sense when you learn that the "caffeine pills" were intended to be amphetamines, but the network wouldn't allow it.
I just found that out too. Caffeine pills don’t even give you those side effects.
Those caffeine pills are actually just as dangerous because they don't usually regulate them I don't get the whole why they changed it
@@antoinecampbell7473 not true a very much can don't regulate those caffeine pills I remember when they were having news coverages about it get back in the day they put stuff in their you don't know what they're putting it can be just as dangerous as speed and you wouldn't even know it
And it's the same network that allowed this on _Family Ties._
@@dnasty312 Family Ties was a prime time show, where as this was a children’s show. The criteria was probably different for what was allowed.
I have avoided caffeine pills my whole life, i don't want to be excited and have to hide it.
Lol
hahahahahah
Someone should've told the Pointer Sisters that caffeine pills aren't good
Red Bulls are stronger anyway.
My caffeine pills just came in the mail 💌
I kind of get why this has become a meme, but in all seriousness, all that stress, anxiety, and panic is real.
True
It would’ve been better if the networked allowed her to use amphetamines like they intended
No. It's not. This is ridiculous.
@@thomasmills339 yeah it is when u do speed for too long and just run around on crazy mission and then u always crash. suppressed emotions when focused on thousand tasks, lack of sleep and then boom, here comes the confused brain 🧠
She was suppose to originally do speed but the network wouldn’t allow it.
They wanted to use a harder drug (I believe it was speed, also known as amphetamines) but the change to caffeine pills was demanded by the network. So while many people make fun of this scene, to me it’s very emotional when you see her breakdown.
I’ve always heard that too. I wonder how far it got before they made the change. They could have even filmed it all as illegal drugs, and changed it to caffeine with just a couple of dubbed lines.
It is sad
Yea, because Fresh Prince had Carlton use speed and they got a lot of backlash.
She was mainlining coffee grounds after this, sad!
It would have been just as cringe regardless.
It's crazy because this episode got low ratings but it was a educational message
I loved it. I wish more shows would do so. Punky Brewster, Growing Pains, A Different World, and The Cosby Show were all great, too.
True
Because the educational message sucked lol
really?
How do you know it got low ratings?
If it hadn't been caffeine pills and actually a real drug they wanted to use this story would have been more powerful
They tried to get amphetamines to be the drug I think but the network wouldn’t allow it
It was 1990 Saturday morning tv .. can't do anything hard-core in there
Well they couldn't use Cross Tops
Nowadays you have to be 18 or over to purchase caffeine pills after a teenager actually died of an overdose a while back yet they can still buy a Red Bull
Caffeine is a real drug, Kellie
Props to Zack for not cracking up during her singing meltdown, how did he keep a straight face?!
After 16 takes it still looked like he was holding a giggle back. 🤣
@@aaronackiss3424 But in real life, a person might do that as well. Even dramatic outbreaks can rub observers in a funny way (despite still caring for the other)
He was probably high as a kite and didn't realize what was going on.
I mean that shyt was funny cause she just over did it. "I'm so excited, I'm so excited" lol
Deep down, he knew it was speed and not caffeine.
This was foreshadowing adderall addiction of today. I guess the pressure on perfectionist students is timeless.
So so true
Actually, the original script had her being addicted to speed (under which Adderall and other amphetamines would be classified), but NBC vetoed it, and thus it was changed to caffeine pills.
Adderall addiction has been a problem as long as I can remember.
not an addiction but we all do take it before exams
@@johnle6364 Some people use it all the time to keep high energy to where it basically becomes an addiction as they have that “have to have it mentality”
I love this. Every time I try to do caffeine pills. A friend tries to stop me. I start singing. "I'm so excited "
They were supposed to be amphetamines, hard core speed, but the network made them change it last minute. Makes it a little more dramatic when u know that lol
Probably one of the most well known lines of the entire series.
Elizabeth Berkley killed this scene. She was amazing. Pulled on the heart strings.
And she was so hot! Loved her in Showgirls!
lol she killed this scene, all right🤣🤣🤣
cringeeeeee
what?? her acting was horrible lol
Her acting in this scene was the best I can remember out of all the episodes. It may seem cheesy to some but for saved by the bell, in the 90's, it was pretty good. It also didn't help that they had to use caffeine instead of speed/amphetamines.
RIP Dustin Diamond
WAIT
@@cptspinach yyeeessss!!
Screech Powers my geeky Brother RIP😢😢
It’s not even his scene...ugh
Screech actually stabbed someone, guess he didn't like his wimp identity created from the show
I just love the way Zack held her and tried to calm her down reassuring her everything would be fine. He was a goof ball but at the same time such a good friend.
Absolutely!😊
He was trying to feel her up while acting like he was consoling her :)
No he wasn’t! Yes,he’s opportunistic but he’s not a slime ball for Pete’s sake!
Omg 😂😂😂
@@marycanary He's 95% slimeball, 5% a decent person lol
No ones talking about Kelly's outfit in class? Like a bra with a jacket over it. That would not have flown in my school! Haha its cute though
@Edward89 I guess so! Haha
Jerry Seinfeld ripped this idea off for Sue Ellen Mischke.
The 90’s goodness that this is gives me the feels
Originally the episode was supposed to be Jessie gets HOOKED on SPEED, but I guess they changed it to CAFFIENE PILLS because it was a Saturday morning show on NBC!!!
90210 were the same age. They talked about going all the way in every episode. In sbtb, not 1nce
every1 trashes this but it really was a genuine attempt to inform and educate.
Those "pills" were red hot candies.
The moral of this episode is don't do drugs or pills
To simplify, tis sketches were ahead of its time
or caffeine
Mr. Dewey’s expression when he tells Jessie he couldn’t figure out the math problem is funny and priceless.
can we just appreciate Zack for a minute? I know he didn’t believe it when he was told about the addiction but you have to give him the credit for being so amazing when Jessie fell apart. She was the “responsible” one, and no one expected her to take this turn.
Anyway:
the way Zack (sorry if i spell his name wrong) was super worried when he found out that her addiction was real, and the way he held her so she couldn’t take the pills anymore, and when she finally broke down, he held her (and wee was cam assume they stayed that way until everyone else came), protecting her from the temptation of the loose pills.
This episode cemented my love for Jessie and Slater together. He was worried about her, guh.
GUH
Slater was the only man who could handle Jessie and the only man she knew who could.
Great episode about addiction and perfectionism. Also spreads awareness about mental health and image. So many things teens have resonated with. Definitely underrated episode.
She's lucky she has friends that care about her.
People can make memes out of this, but imagine this happens in real life. Pressured in being the perfect student in both academics and talent, you will go through all lengths to make sure you stay focus and concentrated. You can see how desperate Jessie claws her way to those caffeine pills, while Zach tries to restrain her. In her final attempt to convince him she’s okay, she sings through it but ultimately falls into fear and despair in a matter of seconds.
Personally, I do experience this in college time. It’s really scary to think about it again.
Bah solo quería su chiquita
True. I’m 57 and occasionally have dreams about being behind in school lol. 😊 Too much pressure!!
I had this other partner in this group project but she was so chill just like me that we both just did the project for a few hours and ended up with an A+ on it and even the teacher said one of the better projects but we did it literally in a few hours. I'm not sure where she ended up but I imagine with her being so chill about things that she's probably doing really well now. So yeah, just relax and take it easy. Don't pop caffeine pills and don't take things too seriously.
Zack was a real king here for protecting his friend and comforted her when he got overwhelmed with panic.
They were both jerks to Slater though…
Yup he sure was in all of save by the bell
Episodes
this was a special moment and it’s very important 😭💞
Zack and Jesse having a tender friend moment. This show wasn't all that cheesy at times. "We'll get there"
That scene was 100% cheese with a side of cheese
It would have been better had they taken out the laugh track
Jessie not Jesse
RIP Screech
Not the time or place dude
@RedPill Crusader Take the ScreechPill
Guys stretch is did, let him go. 😢
They originally wanted to make it a hard drug in the script but thought it wouldn’t be palatable to a mainstream audience so they used “caffeine pills”.
Apparently amphetamines were in the original script but it had to be scratched out so they decided upon 'caffeine pills' instead.
This is sad...and messages like this about drugs illegal ones should be on every tv show ...my girlfriend passed away from drugs..I felt like slater in this scene when he yelled at jesse ...same thing I told my girl and now she's gone ....I tried to help her but addiction is very bad..and now my girlfriend is gone and I'm heart broken..so people should put out the message still about this especially to young kids
Did she overdose on caffeine?
@@JanoyCresvaZero no .. prescriptions
I’m sorry about what happened I hope your ok now
@@briannavelez8947 thank u and it's almost 2 years now ...and I'm alright I guess
This scene makes me tear up now … don’t know if it’s the nostalgia of being with my sister watching this on a summer day growing up or how Zach does his best to calm her down and tell her everything is gonna be ok … we laughed then but now it’s emotional
Why Slater need a pen for Geometry? Supposed to use a pencil.
Slater does not make mistakes
@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 1040 on the SAT...
This scene is actually very powerful. I mean yes it’s easy to make fun of because it’s “caffeine pills” but everyone has to remember that this was a Saturday morning kids show. So I’m assuming the network wouldn’t allow them to use amphetamines. So caffeine pills were the closest they could use.
I woulda scrapped the script altogether. Saying it’s caffeine pills gave it a comedic element
We all saw what happened to Carlton on Fresh Prince when he overdosed on speed, which he thought were caffeine pills in the first place. The other main difference of course was that SBTB aired on Saturday morning or afternoon depemding on your location; while Fresh Prince was primetime.. The New Class and even Hang Time got into some heavier topics for sure, but stayed within the lines.
I heard they wanted to use speed but the network rejected it so they changed it to caffeine pills
Now that is true friendship and a good friend. we need more friends like Zack out in this world
zack shafted his friends multiple times for petty reasons.
@@Cenotaur1 you aint wrong but he did come through for them when it really mattered

Zack Morris is the greatest
nah.....
Zack Morris Is Trash
I never took anything like what Jessie took to stay awake but I did drink a couple of strong coffees before doing my High School Chemistry exam to stay alert. I ended up becoming very jittery and my heart was really racing. It kept me alert but did nothing to alleviate my tension. It was insane and I finished it early although I stayed until the time was over. I never drank coffee again before any exams after that.
I got a B in Chemistry by the way so I was fine. The exam scene here reminded me of that.
Is caffeine pills the nice way to say methamphetamine in Bayside?
PS .... dig her autographed Cure poster in the background!
One of the few times Zach was a true caring friend and not a p.o.s.
Nah zac Morris is trash
Fair play to Zack he was really there for Jessie❤️
I agree. The way he held her.
@@lailabeeba8016 I know i cried the way he held her🥺
I just randomly thought of this episode and pulled this up.
All these years later and I still cried at that wave of anxiety, fear, and realization washing over her.
Was it cheesy? Yeah, but it was also very real for a lot of us. Especially the “gifted kids” who were doing whatever we could to live up to the hype put on our abilities.
I’m all jacked up on Mountain Dew!
😂😂😂
Me too
Put it down! You wanna end up like Jessie all jazzed up?
I'M SO EXCITED
Those pills are dangerous!…just bought three bottles at the 99 cent store…Maybe this episode exaggerated just a little
I think the reason why it seemed exaggerated was because originally, she was going to be addicted to speed and perhaps they didn't change much in the sense that it would bring the same effect, maybe.
Probably my favorite episode of the series. Most realistic situation I could relate to when I was in HS
Now Jessie is a guidance counselor; Slater became the athletic director of Bayside High and Zack & Kelly became the Governor and First Lady Of California
And Lisa is a fashion designer living in Paris, while Screech lives with this robot in the International Space Station.
I got sick drinking alot of caffeine. Red bull nitro cold brew monster rock star caffeine pills their like speed.
I remember I got so sick when I drank a nitro brew it made so sick made me act silly July 2nd 2020-july 7th 2020 then on July 5th 2020-July 7th 2020 it started make me throw up and then I had to go the emergency room to get an iv.
Caffeine addiction really just means headaches from withdrawal. Everything has caffeine in it nowadays, it’s crazy.
I’m so excited I’m so.....scared!!
It's hard to believe this was before the era of energy drinks.
The Zack Morris I know and loved would have fed those pills to Jessie himself and shoved her out on that stage.
This was sad
Oh, I thought this would be another episode of "Zach Morris is Trash".
I didn’t think Zach Morris is trash was that funny. They just summarized episodes it really wasn’t much effort to be funny.
I'm glad you included that last part with Zack's ET story. :)
I think Jessie was hotter than Kelly.
Back in the day, I had a crush on Jessie. I was never attracted to Kelly. As a teen, or even now. Though I'm not attracted to Jessie either anymore.
Don’t get between a chick and her speed.
how can you not like excuse me LOVE this show. Put you onto everything that still stands relevant today
The best sitcom of the 90s
I heard in the original plan for the episode Jessie was supposed to be on speed, but they thought that was too heavy for the age group the show targeted so they changed t to caffeine pills.
Caffeine pills are actually pretty damn dangerous.
She should have won an Oscar Award for this performance 👏
Am I the only one wondering what she got on that test? Lol
Say what you want about Zack but this scene shows how much he loved his friends.
Years later, Fresh Prince of Bel Air would have a similar episode. Will would be taking speed and in turn got Carlton hooked on them when he mistaken speed for vitamins.
Did you know that the "caffeine pills" Jessie took were actually Red Hots Cinnamon Candy?
I’m so excited I’m so excited still remember that scream like yesterday and I was in middle school 1997
I know caffeine can raise my anxiety and make me moody. Too much of it can be a bad thing in my own experience.
Precisely why it makes no sense for her to become addicted...
Crazy how this episode makes way more sense to( us) now. I remember this one.
I remember city guys and California dreams did the same thing Cassidy from city guys and Tiffany from California dreams
Best show ever
I watch this scene today, and it's almost humorous. I mean, caffeine pills? And a touch of overacting on the "I'm so excited ... I'm so scared!" lines. Not to mention this scene has been memed and parodied to death today. Yet when I watched this at 14-15, it was an effective and affecting scene. Jessie's emotions seemed raw and real, as was Zach's initial bewilderment and the fact that he cared about how dependent his friend had become on drugs. And, yes, "caffeine pills" is kind of ridiculous. On the other hand, teenaged me, I think, comprehended the caffeine pills were a metaphor -- a stand-in for some other drug -- and that the show as meant to warn us about what chemical dependency could do to a person. I doubt anyone has experienced a friend singing "I'm so excited ... I'm so scared." On the other hand, I think this episode captures the emotions around chemical dependency, both for the addict and for the addict's friends and family.
Yep, she has a piece of chocolate, some green tea, a sip of Pepsi, and she falls off the wagon.
I read that the original plot had her doing speed but they got shot down on that idea.
@@thewest8630 Like Alex?
I think the original was supposed be her taking speed or some other amphetamine, but it was shot down
@ James Herschel, Well Said !!
32 years later & I still get teary eyed from this scene. I see you Ms Elizabeth! & props to Zack for being so supportive!
Props to writers writing it like that.
i wish elizabeth berkley was sober.
Me to.
Caffeine pills are no joke😳
At the time I watched this show I had just completed my 13th birthday and had no idea what to expect as a teenaget, but thanks to this show, the cast, and specially this episode, i evaluated a lot of things and choosed to do right. Thanks guys for being my role models, i learned everything from you. You guys are awesome
I almost died from a Stacker 3 overdose 🤮 do not recommend
if it was something like Adderall I would get it, but caffeine pills? lol.
right caffeine pills are usually less than what's in a cup of coffee and 1/2 of whats in a monster. All these people complaining about it. lol
it was originally like that but they changed it due to pressure
Report card full of Cs
I hope Stewie got the help he needed.
90's cheese! 🤪
90s actually
Watching on Netflix
2:47. the crash. Yeah right it was caffeine
People may sneer but just drained all my RedBull down the drain. Saved by the Bell saved my life.
everything is fine in moderation bud. drank redbull all throughout highschool, didnt die or become a drug addict.
She finished the test so early that the class bell rang 15 seconds afterwards lol
Oh btw Bell aired on Saturday mornings and Prince on Monday nights. Children's digression advised. Not fair to this Showgirl
Caffiene pills hyped more then one cup of coffee.
now I know why she's so excited switch to decaf lol
Poor Jessie fell off the wagon, bleached her hair, changed her name to Nomi, ran away and eventually ended up in Vegas a few years later…and it all went downhill from there.
She also bought a Versayce dress and danced at the Cheetah. Don’t forget that part.
I'm so exciteeeed, I'm so exciteeeeed!!!, then she became an excited show-girl!
Even though that was a corny movie, I loved her and the photography in that movie.
Jessie was ahead of her time....nowadays woke culture Kids make the same reaction for everything.
Honestly the acting in this was really great, especially from Mario Lopez and Mark Paul Gosselar even though the situation was ridiculous lol
For years, I only vaguely remembered this episode and thought it was adderall. I felt dumb when I looked into it and found out it's caffeine.
Hmmm, caffeine huh.
The pressure to excel is real! I'm so happy that self-care is an important topic.
family guy stewie: i’m so excited lol
just wait till they get to college and find out about adderall
I was hoping she would just put her "mind to it, go for it," but she took pills instead.
I know this gets made fun of a lot. But it literally is the best acting that was ever in saved by the bell. No joke.
Anyone hoping for a still modern day version of this for the reboot?
It'll probably happen, but not sure which substance they'll cover.....
4:08 It was at this moment Jesse mentally hit the brick wall at 70 mph.
I remember watching Saved by the bell in the 80's or 90's. And I loved it. It was funny and some of the characters said funny lines on the show. And I loved how Zack became friends with Jessie. Jessie is played by Elizabeth Berkley. Albert Christopher Slater is played by Mario Lopez. Lisa is played by Lark Voorhies. And Samuel, Screech Powers was played by Dustin Diamond. And I love Zack hugging Jessie when she was crying in the Saved by the bell episode Jessie's Song. Zack is very sweet on Jessie when he tells her everything is ok. I love that scene.
lol It was 89-94
If you watch some of the "Zack Morris is Trash" videos you nay see him differently
@@zythr9999 that's a great series. You really do start seeing Zack in a different way
@@timeghost82 It is, and you do lol
His name was Albert Clifford slater according to his ex girlfriend from Germany
“These pills are dangerous,Well so is geometry “
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS MARIO
Family Guy brought me here
I swear, back then television did not fear doing risky business for education
