Despite all these years, my hots for Steve Urkel from Family Matters have not faded one bit. Yes, I know some people may be surprised to learn this, I can see eyebrows raising, jaws dropping. But let me clarify all the solid characteristics that Steve always adhered to which made him a winner in my books.
He's disgustingly smart
He's inventive
He's irresistably sexy
Those eyes. Yes, all 4 of them
He's got a wicked sense of humor
He knows just what to say
He knows how to appreciate you
He can be serious
He's got wit
He's got style
He doesn't let his ego get in the way of doing the right thing
He's a family man
He's persistent
He is consistent
He truly knows how to treat the ladies
He can cook
He optimistic
He's got confidence
He's emotionally stable
He's not afraid to express his feelings
Even if it made him look vulnerable
Even if it got his ass kicked
AND such incredible morals!
Cassie Lynn: Look, Becky Sue. Poor Laura has worked so hard and now she has to drop out of the race.
Laura: What are you talkin' about?
Cassie Lynn: Well, we just got some really hot photos of you being romanced by the Prince of Passion here.
Steve Urkel: What? She just slipped and I caught her. That's all.
Cassie Lynn: Becky Sue! We should put those pictures in the school paper.
Becky Sue: Oh, we couldn't do that. Everyone would think that Laura is in love with Steve Urkel and no one would vote for her.
Steve Urkel: But, I told you. I just caught her, that's all.
Cassie Lynn: That may be what happened, but that won't be what the people believe. They just love juicy gossip.
Laura: You wouldn't dare.
Cassie Lynn: Try me. You've got twenty-four hours to drop out of the race or we publish the picture.
Steve Urkel: Why you...
[Both leave laughing]
Steve Urkel: Why, come back here, you little hussy! Nobody threatens my woman!
Laura: Steve. Steve! STEVE!
Steve Urkel: Wha-at?
Laura: Will you calm down?
Steve Urkel: Calm down? Why that low-down-cheap-bunder-headed-mud-slinging-bush-wacking-slanderous-snake-in-a-skirt is blackmailing you!
Laura: I know!
Steve Urkel: Why, to make everyone think that the woman I love actually loves me back? Why, how low can you get?
Wow Steve. Men like him were limited editions. They are just not made anymore. And now for some words of wisdom from Steve. Take notes, people, take notes!
Laura: Well, Steve, I’ve been trying to convince Waldo that girls find him attractive. I couldn’t turn right around and refuse to go out with him.
Steve Urkel: Oh, why not? You refuse to go out with me for the last decade!
Laura: Well, that’s because you have self-confidence. I can turn you down without destroying your ego.
Steve Urkel: Well, isn’t that just a FIIIINE kettle of fish? I’m getting penalized because I’m emotionally stable!
Seasons later, moral of the story came to pass that he got the girl. Oh, that's the one I forgot to list...
He's an inspiration. Truly.
Apart from inspiring me to wear oversized pants minus the suspenders with belts to hold them up along with a very distinguished striped shirt, Steve teaches one to have the faith and determination, to believe in themselves and their emotions and not a single person, thing, or little rejection could sway him out of it.
