I got into a really funny conversation about 'Beverly Hills 90210' (original recipe) today, and decided to post my favorite '90210' scene of all time. My friend Denise and I fell on the floor laughing when this scene originally aired, which probably makes us really evil, but whatever. It still cracks me up.
That's right - Andrea Zuckerman getting run over by the muscle car.

Is it the Hitchcockian close-up before impact? The way she is ridiculously splayed out on the concrete afterwards? Or just the fact that Andrea Zuckerman's character was the ultimate sad sack, the Charlie Brown of the gang, stuck in glasses and dowdy clothes, never to be loved by Brandon, or fully included with her popular 'friends' - her life was the worst. So why not run her over with a car on top of it?
Then make birds attack her.
