#legal ease
PREMISE: When a situation gets too stressful, don’t freak out, dude! You just gotta call the chillest cops on the Maui Relaxation Squad: Stan and Chet. They’re two laid-back officers who are experts at relaxing and maximizing good vibes. Technically a division of the Health Department, the Relaxation Squad is tasked with fighting stress and unhappiness, and Stan and Chet are committed to making sure everyone is chillin’ as much as they legally can.
CHARACTERS: Stan and Chet are the best Relaxation Officers in all of Hawaii–and maybe in the entire world. They keep their cruiser stocked with fresh hammocks, Jimmy Buffett mix tapes, and tiny umbrellas to put in the drinks of people who they suspect are insufficiently laid-back. The two are known simply as Stan and Chet. They abandoned their last names long ago, because it was really killing their buzz to have to worry about two names all the time. Stan has a unique knowledge of star-gazing, gentle breezes, and which fruits can be made into bongs (all of them). Chet is an expert at giving people nifty nicknames, lighting incense, and knows all the best beaches and hiking trails.
NOTABLE EPISODE: When a Senator brings his work laptop on vacation, it creates a relaxation emergency for him, his family, and all the folks at the hotel whose mellows are being severely harshed by the sight of a dude typing away at a bunch of business stuff. In order for the Senator to enjoy his vacation, Stan and Chet have to devise a way to destroy his laptop without creating a different, even more stressful situation. They decide to throw an impromptu pool party with the help of their special celebrity Relaxation Squad deputies: the surviving cast of Saved by The Bell. Chet uses a well timed jack-knife splash to cover the sight of a SWAT member pushing the laptop in the pool, narrowly saving the vacation (S02.E22 – “Take The Shot (Of Rum)”).
CATCHPHRASE: “Can I see your registration and license to chill? Just kidding. You don’t need a license to chill. That would be super uptight of us.” / “Take it easy, partner!”
TRIVIA: In order to make the show as authentic as possible, everyone in the cast was actually relaxed during filming.
