Growing up, I had serious Saved By the Bell addiction. I’m talking every single afternoon after school, sometimes before school, and it didn’t matter how many times I had seen the episode. I don’t know if it was the comfortingly formulaic plot, the cheesy 90’s fashion and hair, or my love of one Zack Morris, but I definitely was hooked.
I found, as I got a bit older, that I was not alone. This show is somewhat of a phenomenon among my generation (and other generations too, I’m sure). Thus, I thought it would be fun to do a TV quiz tonight!
WHICH SAVED BY THE BELL CHARACTER ARE YOU?
1. You just scored a dream date with your crush! What do you suggest for the date?
A. A trip to the beach so you can see her in her bikini
B. The ballet! That way you can make sure the barbarian can stand a little culture!
C. The mall. He does carry plastic, right?
D. First she can watch my wrestling match, then we’ll go to a football game
E. Zoinks! A girl is going out with me?
2. What is your best physical feature?
A. My hair. I’ve got it gelled down to a science
B. My intelligence, you chauvinist pig!
C. My fabulous fashion sense, of course
D. My dimples
E. Oh no, I left the lid off my ant farm!
3. Monday Monday… time to get up and go to school. What’s your favorite part of school?
A. Class? Is that the place next to the lockers?
B. Chemistry, Literature, Algebra… I rock them all. I’m ever teacher’s dream.
C. Girl, I just go for the gossip!
D. Blondes, Brunettes, Redheads… oh, and sports.
E. Groinks! I forgot where I go to school!
4. What is your favorite song?
A. I wish they all could be California Girls
B. She blinded me with science
C. Fashion (turn to the left!)
D. We are the champions
E. Meeeep! Anything my girlfriend Tori Spelling Violet sings at Glee Club!
5. What is your greatest fear?
A. Losing my looks so I can’t score babes
B. Getting an A minus
C. Finding myself at the Max- in LAST SEASONS SHOES!
D. Jessie might beat me up for being a sexist pig.
E. My own shadow
So, if you haven’t cracked the code already… here are the results!
Mostly As- You’re Zack Morris. Dreamy and bleached blonde with big plans and an even bigger cell phone… you rule the school! If only Belding would get out of your way, you would spend your day wooing chicks and surfing.
Mostly Bs- You’re Jessie Spannow. Though some might call you an egghead, you prefer “intellectually superior.” You’re driven for excellence, with a little help from some friendly neighborhood uppers. You like your boyfriend Slater, but your real love is being a self righteous know it all.
Mostly Cs- You’re Lisa Turtle. The producers were so happy to have a minority cast member they forgot to give you a personality beyond shopaholic. Except for that one episode where you read philosophy with the lit snob. Sorry Lisa- but at least you always looked fierce!
Mostly Ds- You’re Albert Clifford (AC) Slater. The producers almost forgot you were a minority too, but then you flexed your muscles and showed them your curly mullet, and they gave you a single episode about your Chicano roots. It was meaningful. Oh wait, I forgot- Zack Morris was a Native American. Upstaged again by that dreaded Preppy!
Mostly Es- You, unfortunately, didn’t crack the code and realize early on that you would end up a Screech and cheat. Therefore, you probably are a real life Screech. Sorry! But look on the bright side, I didn’t say you were a Belding!
If you answered all questions with “when life gives you lemons, make some lemonade!” then you’re Kelly Kapowski. And I couldn’t think of an interesting answer for you for any questions that didn’t involve cheerleading, so you weren’t really included in the quiz until now.
I hope you guys had fun with my quiz- Which one are you? I for one think I’m a Stacy Carosi (bonus points if you list a character not included in the above quiz). Did you watch Saved by the Bell?

I’m definitely a Jessie, but fortunately I neverr got hooked on caffeine pills.
were you ever in a pop group called Hot Sundae haha?
I think I’m most like Max, owner of Max’s, magician extraordinaire, and sage. Kind of nerdy, doesn’t really fit and quirky that about sums me up! Great post 🙂
I totally forgot about Max- you’d be like the less nerdy, less cheesy version of Max 🙂
i’m sad to say i never really watched saved by the bell.
but my husband did. don’t worry, he gives me crap about it all the time!
♥elisabeth
give it a try! And thanks for visiting!
Very fun quiz and I wonder where I was all the time you were watching SBTB? Some engaged mother I was! Oh well, I think maybe I was watching with you because I recognized most of the characters, but not by name. I think in HS I was between a Zack and a Jessie. Are you going to disown me now?
I remember watching it in 2nd-3rd grade, in the white spinny chair in the den, usually with a hostess cupcake or something. Sound more familiar?
YES I watched that show! I still find myself catching an episode every now and then when I’m getting ready for work in the mornings HEHE….Honestly, my answers varied so much that I think I might just be a mixture…or better yet, I think I might be more like Tori 🙂 She was always so cool!!! At least I thought so LOL
She was definitely a badass with her motorcycle and leather jacket 🙂
I’M SO EXCITED, THAT I JUST CAN’T HIDE IT!!!
I’M SO… I’M SOOO… SCAAARED
Hahahahahahaha. DEFINITELY Stacy Carosi! I LOVED this show. Now MPG has totally stolen my heart again for Raising the Bar, his Weeds appearance and Franklin & Bash.
I need to catch up on weeds- I haven’t seen him yet!
i used to be obsessed w/ this show growing up. i loved zach…. i mean, he’s such a charmer!! 😀
he was definitely very smooth 🙂
Hahahahaha, awesome!!! I got Jessie Spannow. I love(d) Save By The Bell!!
x Jasmine
Just without the ridiculous “showgirls” role, right? haha
I loved Saved by the Bell! I guess when I was a kid I was more of a Jessie. Except with ADHD. And also I didn’t take up stripping when I grew up.
oh no, you see- it all comes with the package… maybe your showgirl career is still ahead hahaha. Kidding of course.
Haha, I think I answered a different letter for each one! I guess that gives me some of each character? lol
<3 <3
Or perhaps I missed a character… you could be someone from the College years even 🙂
Ha! I think I’m a mix between Jessie and Lisa, but where’s Violet Bickerstaff?
I’m having regrets about not including Violet, Tori, or any of the Good Morning miss Bliss or College years cast 🙂
Haha this is great! Don’t forget Violet Bickerstaff with her beautiful singing voice (love that episode with her solo) or Tori Scott with her badass biker-chick ways. Love that show. Does anyone remember the long lost middle school years with Miss Bliss? I loved those episodes, too!
Amanda
I thought about including both the Miss Bliss and College Years episodes (which I also watched but not as much as the sr. high version), but got too overwhelmed! Perhaps another quiz in the future…
I never watched it when it was on the air (I don’t think), but I love the early morning reruns and have for years
I swear it is one of the most sindicated shows out there, along with Friends and Scrubs…
I love Saved by the Bell!! I lived for that show! According to the quiz, I’m Jessie! 🙂
I’m surprised at how many people came out Jessie’s haha- must be all the smarties reading my blog 🙂
this is so fun!! i loved that show 🙂

I think that Mr. A is more addicted to “Saved by the Bell” than any female I have ever met in my life. He seriously knows the episodes by heart and tries to watch them every morning on TBS. He has even DVRed them before.

Do you think he’s more of a Zack or a Slater? Or perhaps you’d have to ask him haha
I’m more of a Jessie. But MPG is such a hottie! I love him in Franklin and Bash!
I just heard about that show- it looks good!
Baahaaa, loved the quiz Mers! I can say I not really any of the above but a good mix of all…or does that make me a Kelly?? Hmmm oh well when life gives ya lemons… 😉
You are totally a Stacy Carosi, like me. She tells it like it is. Good people.
Turns out I’m a Zack! Haha. Started out as a Kelly. I loved that show!
After I thought about it today, I realized I’m not really any SBTB characters, but I’m frighteningly close to a Topanga from Boy meets World. Gaaaah!
OMG, I wanted to be Topanga SO BAD! 🙂
Not sure the quiz was totally accurate- but I identify as a Kelly 🙂 I was a cheerleader afterall!
Your first instinct is the best one! Did you have any denim miniskirts? Because that would be a clear sign of kelly…
Oh my goodness, how fun is this…totally took me back!
Liesl 🙂
The post you wrote is very good.
