Zack Morris Is Trash is a web series that follows the titular character from the hit '90s show Saved by the Bell and exposes his problematic behavior. In season 2 episode 4, titled "The Time Zack Morris Fat-Shamed A Girl Who Won Him In A Charity Auction," we see the lengths Zack will go to avoid going on a date with someone he deems unworthy.
The episode begins with Bayside High holding a charity auction, where students can bid on the chance to spend the day with a popular classmate. When overweight student Wendy wins a date with Zack, he is less than thrilled. He tries to back out of the date, but Screech, ever the accomplice, encourages him to go through with it.
At the date, Zack is visibly uncomfortable with Wendy's appearance and her ideas for what they should do. He repeatedly tries to ditch her, but Screech keeps popping up to remind him of his obligation to the charity and Wendy. Finally, Zack loses his patience and fat-shames Wendy, telling her that he can't be seen with someone who looks like her and that she should just leave him alone.
This behavior is not only hurtful but also reflects Zack's deep-seated insecurities and shallow values. He is more concerned with his reputation and image than with treating others with kindness and respect. It is particularly egregious given that this is a charity auction, and the other participants likely bid on the chance to make a difference in someone else's life.
Overall, "The Time Zack Morris Fat-Shamed A Girl Who Won Him In A Charity Auction" is a powerful reminder of the harmful effects of body shaming and the importance of treating others with compassion. The episode adeptly exposes Zack's flaws and reinforces the message that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their appearance or social status.
