It looks to me like they used wigs on everyone but Gossler. They should have done him, too, to hide his hair line. At least he sounded exactly like Zach, unlike Lopez’s Slater.

As for the humor–the humor was in the shoehorning of all the references. You know, that laugh you get when you feel like your “in on the joke.”

> The lines aren’t that funny (though I chuckled at the stripper bit). Its more the surreality of seeing the 40-something actors recreating their teenage characters. Especially with the effort that seems to have gone into it (recreating the Bayside set, getting the hair right (I assume those are wigs on Zack and Jessie)).

Except for Mr. Belding, he actually had much less hair on the original series.

I can only assume she’s been indoctrinated by the [Slow Talkers of America](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktYwuw9Mnjo).
