James Van Der Beek Is Back on TV!

November 19th, 2008 by Evil Beet


Dude.

You would have been much better off fading into obscurity than snorting fake cocaine through a straw on anything on the CW, let alone One Tree Hill. This is embarrassing, dude.

I don’t know why, but this reminded me of that Saved By the Bell episode where Zack and Slater find a “roach” in the bathroom. And thanks to the wonders of YouTube, I could watch all my favorite parts all over again, and so can you.

    I own this entire series on DVD, and that episode is soooo funny. Later on I think someone says something like “I thought you were cool, man.” and it just kills.

    And that party scene at the end of the episode is retarded.

  2. Josh says:

    And I was talking about Saved by the Bell… not One Tree Hill.

  3. Amy says:

    Who put laugh tracks in on the drug parts that were supposed to be serious? It’s hilarious.

  4. Lia says:

    The overuse of laugh tracks is ridiculous! Someone was totally high as a kite when they put the laugh tracks in the worst possible places.

  5. meh says:

    i loved how zack pimped out kelly for the commercial….classic zack morris….

  6. jg says:

    The laugh tracks are out of control.

  7. maria says:

    Saved by the Bell was–is my life.

  8. ob says:

    OMG–the laugh track!
    There will never be a show like Saved by the Bell… good stuff.
    “I’m so excited!! I’m so…. scared!!!”

  9. tee says:

    he used to be fucking annoying enough before but this is just extreme sadness to the max
    the whheeeeeaaaammm guitar ‘being bad’ music…that pathetic little pile of coke? (they could have put a bit more effort into that!) and the stange tom cruise like behaviour

    ugh

    one tree hill sucks, first season was the only good one

  11. KB says:

    I thought I was hallucinating watching that and hearing the laugh tracks. seriously. something was wrong, and then I read the above comments. whew.

    Beet, thank you!! we need more of our old cheesy programs. 90210 bits?

  12. Pikki Nikki Polka Pants says:

    that Saved By the Bell clip made my night / month / LIFE.

  13. Cat says:

    I agree, Amy. Those random laugh-tracks in the serious scenes were so funny.

  14. ac says:

    I have a soft spot for Dawsons and its intrepid lameness, but even I am really embaressed for Jvdb.

  15. ThatLisa says:

    one tree hill is still on? I had no idea.

  16. jgirl says:

    i am sooo embarassed to say that James Van der Beek went to my college for about 2 semesters…I think it was BD (before Dawson)…
    I remember someone pointed him out and said “That’s that actor kid”…I was like “Who? What? Him?”…I think he chilled with the drama kids…the ones that busted out into show tunes in the cafeteria…

  17. lolly says:

    o. my. gaw. i LOVE saved by the bell and i just watched that episode last week, haha!

    once in awhile i call out from work and treat myself to the little mini morning marathon on TBS, haha! im not even ashamed to admit this. but only because none of you know me.

  18. Rosemary says:

    hey i see nothing wrong with it. It’s an acting job, and he’s really good at playing a douche. He’s also good at playing mr nice guy. Maybe he can’t get another job. I don’t know why though, why katie holmes came out on top and the rest didn’t. They were all great actors. That show sucked but i watched it some cause the acting on it was so good in my opinion. And i’m not bashing katie, i’m just saying all of them on dawson’s creek were amazing actors. So why is he not getting good jobs anymore? I think he’s talented. I forget the movie that he plays a kinda evil a hole. But he’s good. I’m tired of people making fun of young actors and saying they suck just because they don’t have years on them like i dunno, meryl streep or someone else does.

  19. Rosemary says:

    sorry i forgot michelle williams is doing well too.

  20. Rosemary says:

    Poor katie has ruined herself. Maybe not ruined it, but i don’t look at her the same. The thrill is gone with her now. I loved her before. She was one of my fav new actresses until tom cruise made her a zombie. I thought she was amazing on dawsons creek and in some of her movies.

  21. lolly says:

    um wtf are you talking about rosemary?

  22. Sam.E says:

    Hey can anyone tell me which movie they used clips from at the end of the Saved by the Bell vid?

  23. Tracy says:

    How funny. I love OTH. Obviously in the minority here. Oh well… good show.

  24. joan says:

    on a different note- that coke must have been GOOD because that line was TINY.

  25. Anya says:

    Why is the laugh track played when the girl says she has to drive her brother around because he’s in a wheelchair??

  26. But do not jump onto fake cocaine without knowing what it is all about. The best of all the technical indicators is widely believed to be a response. We as Zack and Slater are emotional.
