We Look Back on the ‘Saved by the Bell’ Episode Where Zack and the Gang Help the Menendez Brothers Murder Their Parents | The Hard Times

The piece lovingly dissects a fictional 'Saved by the Bell' episode in which Zack Morris and the Bayside gang serve as accomplices in the very real Menendez brothers patricide, complete with Screech burning bloodstained clothes in a comically ill-fitting subplot. The joke lives and dies on the deadpan contrast between saccharine SBTB energy and genuine 1989 murder logistics, and it commits beautifully — especially the detail about Screech burying a shotgun near Mulholland Drive before his beauty pageant episode.
