Can't help but wonder how long Slater was standing on that toilet ... and just what -- exactly -- he was hoping to hear.
And he should know better than to spy using Belding's pooping stall.
I know right!? Unless he somehow knew Zack and Screech were about to come in, it makes me think he has some weird spying fetish in the . . . men's room.
Aladdin is in fact nominally set in China in Antoine Galland's 1704 'The Thousand and One Nights' ("in one of the large and rich cities of China there once lived a tailor named Mustapha..."). Mind you absolutely everything else in the story is more Middle Eastern than Chinese so the 'Chinese' setting in the original Middle Eastern folk tale is probably simply meant to evoke a far away, exotic land the listener might have heard of.
In the 19th century and for a lot of the 20th century plays and films about Aladdin tended to go back and forth between whether Aladdin was set in Arabia or (a very stylized) China, with the latter more dominant on this side of the Atlantic here in Ireland and in the UK. Heck I was born in 1981 and I can remember from my childhood that the Chinese setting was dominant in pantomime. I think the game changer was the 1992 Disney film which cemented the pseudo-Middle Eastern setting in pop culture.
If only I could go back and edit this into the video. Nice context, my friend.
"Chinese setting was dominant in pantomime" OH NO IT ISN'T.
I feel I was doing deep dives on this show for most of my childhood! Loving this channel ❤
This channel is for all of us who did this and wished this existed.
(1) Man, if I only I was as smooth as Brett with ice breaker conservations with girls when I was in high school. Talking about his buddy's divorced parents to establish empathy.... brilliant!
(2) Hilarious line.... "Zack is so hot, he makes my teeth sweat!"
The teeth sweating comment was so good! But so weird. Someone came up with that line. Someone got paid for it.
Congrats on reaching 1000 subs! 🎉
Thanks! It's kinda fun having more people to party with.
Probably cause Brett killed him self
There's gotta be a better answer than that. Though, after all these years, us SBTB fans can't come up with one.
If this episode was made for today’s times, do you think that Mr. Belding would be in trouble? For what?
I think the thing that tipped the scales was the blackmail. Once that happened, all his attempts at getting his niece a date had to be seen as creepy. Without the blackmail, it would have just been odd.
Funny you talk about episodes that are out of context how about the final season where Kelly and Jesse vanish without a trace and is replaced by the biker🏍chick Tori Scott and then Kelly and Jesse return and Tori who dated Zack is never seen or mentioned again LOL?! Yes I know this was due to a contract dispute with both actresses. Plus the final season was extended as I recall and episodes from the season before aired as well. Are you going to talk about the Saved By The Bell dolls? 🧛♀🤔👩🎓📺
I know I want to cover merchandising, so the dolls may make the cut. We'll see what content looks like when I get there.
i never understood the ending...the way Kelly forgave Zack. anyone wanna clue me in?
I believe it's a little something called Television Magic. But I'm with you - the ending subverts our expectation in the oddest of ways.
@@savedbythebelldeepdives no, i mean, what she says to him. the conversation is what i didn't understand fully.
It doesn't matter cause we never see Penny Belding again. You know why.
(Bring back) ZACK MORRIS IS TRASH.
I was going to say The Max menu looks like the Seinfeld logo if that is what it is called and then BOOM there goes the Seinfeld logo thingie at the end..amazing
Sometimes life just works out that way. Serendipitous!
"Un-nice girl"?! Whoa! Watch the language there, Miss Kapowski. You are still being aired next to Saturday morning cartoons. You are not yet in your prime time "College Years" with the edgy shows. Like Full House and Family Matters!
I love that that was as edgy as she could get.
Penny is a fox
I have never heard that take before, but I respect it.
Short girl is a new wrinkle... What's her story, I wonder?
I'm already done with the videos for this season and this is the only episode where she is noticeable at all. Too bad.
I never realized how problematic this show can be
It just adds to the show's charm!
3:06 good lord, what a catch. Their set/stage work was quite sloppy but they certainly zipped it past a novice like me.
That's a big time blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. Thankfully I see nearly every frame while editing my videos.
12:50 mark
The reason why Aladdin take place in china “ For some reason” B/C Aladdin in thousand and one night takes place in CHINA
Your confusing with DISNEY Aladdin that take place in North Africa / Persian
Interesting. And I just learned that Aladdin wasn't even an orphan, just a lazy kid.
@@savedbythebelldeepdives the first time Aladdin was changed from China to a Arabica country is in 1940’s Thief of Baghdad.
12:10 I love the look on Slater’s face. It’s like he’s thinking “God… Dammit!” 😂
Absolutely. Just pure defeat.
Is it unusual to be 15 years old in the 10th grade?
I don’t think it’s unusual. Some kids will start school “earlier” if their birthday is right on that summer birthday cut-off line.
The way you said it at 0:28 made it sound like you thought it was weird. But perhaps I misunderstood.
Short girl and penny were total cuties.
The casting director knew what was up.
I remember a Magic Johnson poster on the door? Am I misremembering?
Sometimes it's there, sometimes it's not.
I cannot overstate how much I enjoy this channel.
I cannot overstate how much I enjoy positive feedback. Thanks for sharing!
The original Aladdin story was set in China.
I've learned that since this video aired thanks to informed viewers like you. It's funny what we can get wrong by simply relying on our own ignorance.
I thought the prom was the season 3 premiere?
It is. This is the episode about Kelly's birthday party.
I used to scope out the background cuties, that short girl was cute, is that ok to say? i was around the same age then.
I'll check with the powers that be if there is a pass for nostalgia crushes.
I think the issue of Kelly’s birthday is overstated. She is happy for Slater because he’s going to have his own car. At no time else in the show is anyone else in the group shown to have their own car. Heck, we really never even hear of Slater’s car again.
Probably true, but I had in my mind the "Blind Dates" episode where it is Kelly's birthday and we still don't know how old she is. So it became a bit of a continuity marker for the videos.
His car probably f***ing broke down itself.
Great stuff! I emailed you (on 4/6) on another episode that might be helpful to you. You are the man! This is gold!
Nice, I'll check it out.
@@savedbythebelldeepdives I hope so. You're the greatest.
