I hate that I remembered this...

Mr. Belding: Screech you can't elope!
Screech: Who are you calling cantaloupe you melon head? 

Saved By The Bell - Beauty and the Screech S01E10

[–]Breathing_Balls 4 points5 points ago

You remembered the series and episode number?!?!

Get yourself to Vegas, and start counting cards Raymond.

[–]kupogud 1 point2 points ago

No, of course I don't keep that kind of useless knowledge. What do you take me for?

Raymond... That's a reference to the 1998 film, Rain Man, isn't it?

[–]Breathing_Balls 0 points1 point ago

Who's on first base?

[–]Phygar 2 points3 points ago

Yes, he is.

[–]ZxR 5 points6 points ago

What I came to say!

[–]AlwaysDefenestrated 8 points9 points ago

A cantaloupe is just a pessimistic antelope.

[–]XxArbalestxX[S] 0 points1 point ago

Never thought of it like that

[–]Tsinoyboi 8 points9 points ago

But oh, honeydew!

What happened four times last month?

[–]RedditingMyLifeAway 2 points3 points ago

Honeydew you love me? Yes, but we cantaloupe right now.

[–]The-Night-Forumer 6 points7 points ago

I don't get it,

[–]terry_has_boots 9 points10 points ago

A cantaloupe is a type of melon, and it's supposed to sound like 'can't elope' in a funny voice. ~Punderful.~

[–]WitchHunterNL 8 points9 points ago

Also, elope means run away and get married.

[–]watusi65 5 points6 points ago

Ooohhhh, that was the bit I was missing.

[–]Merinovich 0 points1 point ago

so who are you marrying?

[–]Breathing_Balls 2 points3 points ago

A melon.

[–]chronos92 0 points1 point ago

to elope - to run away secretly in order to get married, esp. without parental consent

[–]klakuv 3 points4 points ago

Because cantaloupe is fucking comedy genius.

[–]HomeButton 1 point2 points ago

Honeydew I love you but I cantaloupe

[–]HoboJoe278 1 point2 points ago

Because the humor level of an average redditor is that of an 8 year old.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Reposted for the fifth time and not funny in the first place.

[–]GalacticSpacePolice 1 point2 points ago

Remember that Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin shows Hobbes an "antelope?" I never understood the joke as a kid because I didn't know what elope meant.

Then one day, many years later, I was sitting in class daydreaming when it suddenly dawned on me and I was all HOLY SHIT I GET IT. And I chuckled.

[–]Phreshzilla 1 point2 points ago

ready for downvotes Is the joke I can't- but since its a cantalope its cantalope? Or is it I cannot elope? i forgot what elope means...

[–]ladyvixenx 2 points3 points ago

Because you are a redditor

[–]mr_loveboat 2 points3 points ago

That was really punny!

[–]XxArbalestxX[S] -1 points0 points ago

Indeed it was

[–]ayeroxor 1 point2 points ago

Well, lettuce marry soon! We make a great pear!

[–]Sniper_Guz 1 point2 points ago

Ah, berry good.

[–]Chumly 0 points1 point ago

When I was a kid, the joke went "We make a peach of a pear, its a shame we cantaloupe"

There was also "Lettuce turnip and pea"

[–]CarpeDiem25 0 points1 point ago

What did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing - but it let out a little whine. Ba da tsss

[–]MRamo 0 points1 point ago

I've got one: Honeydew you feel meloncholy because you cantaloupe?

[–]colonial_cylon 0 points1 point ago

I don't know.

[–]Snorgledork 0 points1 point ago

"You fool," Elijah says, glancing at the menu. "What?" Danny grunts. "I said, 'You fool'." Danny looks at the menu and understands. "No," he says, "I won't quiche you." "Quiche me, you fool! Please!" "If you say that any louder, you're toast." "Quiche me and marry me in a church, since we cantaloupe!" Elijah is giddy with the old routine. "Orange juice kidding?" Danny gasps. "I will milk this for all it's worth." "You can't be cereal." "I can sense you're waffling...."

[–]katchison02 0 points1 point ago

I laughed so hard at this

when it was posted a few days ago.

[–]NumberOneBrony 0 points1 point ago

is it bad that i laughed harder at this than pretty much anything for a while?

[–]cantaloupe_kid 0 points1 point ago

THIS ISN'T FUNNY. :-(

[–]robbdoozle 0 points1 point ago

because you're a moron.

[–]atomicwaffleFTW 0 points1 point ago

This comic is fruity. I know.. The door is right over there..

[–]Effinawsum 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of a hammerfor...or a henweigh...

[–]MrFanzyPanz 0 points1 point ago

I thought a cantaloupe was an antelope with low self-esteem?

[–]aTROLLwithSWAG 0 points1 point ago

Fuck this.

[–]Ragnarofl 0 points1 point ago

I remember reading this on one of those Good Humor popsicle sticks when I was a kid. Seriously.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

That's so meloncholy..

[–]terry_has_boots -1 points0 points ago

[–]mukame -4 points-3 points ago

[–]Beetso -1 points0 points ago
