The Other Archives - Survey

Once upon a time, I developed my own surveys and sent them to my friends. Below are some of the funnier/interesting responses from a Fall 2002 survey:

MOST MISUNDERSTOOD "SAVED BY THE BELL" CHARACTER

Kelly; her parent's divorce really affected her relationships with men, though the show never chose to explore this. (Jenny)

That robot that Screech kept locked in his room. (Phil)

This is actually a trick question. The answer was discovered, by Zach, in the episode where he learned that just b/c that chick was in a wheelchair he didn't have to do everything for her. She, therefore, was misunderstood. Lisa gets honorable mention here - she wasn't mean, she just wasn't attracted to Screech. (Me)

I HOPE I'M NOT KILLED BY ______, BECAUSE IT'S THE WORST POSSIBLE KIND OF DEATH IN THE WORLD.

Curb smiley (Jenny)
Heartbreak (Marissa)
A really high pitched screech (Anastasia)
Flesh-eating fire ants (Dave)
Childbirth (Angie)

MENTION ONE SPECIFIC PART OF A SPECIFIC FULL HOUSE EPISODE...

Comet eats Joey's mixture of Silly Putty and Play-Dough and throws up in the bushes. Everyone thinks it's because of Rebecca's cooking and begin to feel ill themselves until Stephanie realizes what's happened. Rebecca explains that what they have been experiencing is a pyschosomatic response. (Jenny)

Where Uncle Jesse and Rebecca get married and he sings that song to her at the church with the choir in the background. I loved that episode. (Kelli)

Jesse's band quits on him and he turns to The King [and Rebecca] for guidance. HAVE MERCY! (Phil)

when DJ "deej" Tanner felt neglected on account of the amount of time her father, Danny spent with his co-host on Wake-Up San Francisco. She rebelled, and boy did she and her awkward friend kimmy gibbler get into some mischief on that episode. (Blaine)
Jesse's badass friend (aptly played by Scott Baio) slinks into town and challenges Jesse's coolness because he's all domesticated now. to counter, Jesse decides to ride his motorcycle on the ledge of a really tall building. as he's about to defy death, Michelle says something cute or something and Jesse surrenders his cajones back to Rebecca. Baio relents and proclaims that Jesse is still cool anyway. i think joey also may have done his "cut it out" bit. (Jeff)

Joey is tricked into believing he won the lottery. The exact same thing happened to Geoffrey the Butler on The Fresh Price of Bel Air (Me)

I'd say the one where DJ wants to wear makeup, but she ends up looking like a whore, and then Rebecca teaches her that the secret to wearing makeup is making it look like you're not wearing any makeup at all. Also, there's the episode where Stephanie steals a sweater because she thought "buy now, pay later" meant take it now and come back some other time to pay. (Steph)

Michelle is digging in the sofa and finds several items, including a quarter and a Cheeto. She says, "ooh a quarter, ooh a Cheeto" and then eats the Cheeto. (Dana)

IF YOU GOT A PET DOG TOMORROW, WHAT WOULD YOU NAME IT?

Frito (Jenny)
Gravity (Marissa)
Boomer 2 (Phil)
Dynamo (Blaine)
Fetch (Jeff)

LEAST FAVORITE WAR

100 Years War. For God sakes man call an armistice or cease fire. ANYTHING. (Phil)
east coast v. west coast. (Blaine)

QUANTRILL'S RAIDERS OR THE OAKLAND RAIDERS?

dude, my great great great grandparents were killed by quantrill's raiders during their raid on lawrence, KS in 1863. then again, my grandfather was killed by Daryle Lamonica in a truck stop diner brawl in 1969. um draw. (Blaine)

quantrill's raiders, although if Gannon played for Quantrill one wonders how that raid would have played out...more forward passes, probably (Me)

I WOULD MOST LIKE TO VISIT THIS COUNTRY

Texas. (Blaine)
Flavor country (Me)

IF MY LIFE COULD BE LIKE A SITCOM, DRAMA, OR ACTION FILM, I'D PICK:

all three, like that great Schwarzenegger flick Last Action Hero. (Blaine)
