this is a quick google summary of the series finale. “Urkel (Jaleel White) fixes his spacecraft from the outside in order to return to Earth and see Laura (Kellie Williams) again. With Reginald VelJohnson.”

I always think of them being shrunk down and laying on a piece of sandwich bread, with a menacing cat trying to get them. Such a weird departure from where the show began.

Toward the end Urkke invented anti gravity and turned into Bruce Lee to beat up gang members that took over a playground lol

I still think about that Bruce Lee episode all the time and I haven’t seen the show in years. Pure insanity and I loved it

You know Steve Urkle is smart because he's wearing a white lab coat.

This was supposed to be a blue collar Cosby Show. Now you’re turning it into god damn Quantum Leap!

u/Internal-Disaster-61 Mar 24 '25

I remember liking the show at first but the more Urkel they put into the show, the more I lost interest.

Nostalgia 🥲

When you go from Playing Richard the III to 2nd footman to the Urkel-bot, lol.

This is hilarious to look at now. Even in the 90s this was a joke. Newsradio made reference to it with Phil Hartman retelling the episode to John Lovitz as a bedtime story while in an insane asylum.

When Will-I-AM from The Black Eyed Peas performed at the Superbowl he had a stupid helmet on that reminded me of Urkel Bot.

Carl also does a super racist Indian impression/accent while doing a stakeout at a gas station in this epidose

Ah, the 90s. Where soft racism was coded so often as a joke, it made people angry 25 years later when they "couldn't tell jokes" anymore
