A Boy Meets World background detail has fans laughing during re-watches
By "hidden," we mean hidden in plain sight, as that "Boy Meets World" gag is literally plastered on the walls during the scene in question. That scene comes during the Season 5 episode titled "Prom-ises, Prom-ises." And yes the question of "will they or won't they" looms heavy for golden couple Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) and Topanga Lawrence. At least for a few fleeting moments, it seems they will, with the pair even going so far as to get a hotel room before ultimately deciding to wait until a later date.
In any case, the hotel room scene plays as hilariously as you'd expect for "Boy Meets World," slyly mixing an air of innocence with heavier themes, and some vintage slapstick comedy. The room's absurdly large bed is, naturally, a focal point of the action, but as Reddit user u/billy_e_midnight (https://www.reddit.com/r/boymeetsworld/comments/jahbke/in_the_prom_episode_the_room_cory_and_topanga_get/) points out, the scene is even funnier because the room itself is adorned with bed-themed imagery, "Complete with bed wallpaper and a framed picture of the bed in the room over the bed itself."
It seems that legitimately brilliant sight gag was lost on many as u/smellmyhand (https://www.reddit.com/r/boymeetsworld/comments/jahbke/comment/g8qzmcr/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) was one of several who chimed in to claim they'd missed it entirely, "That's really clever and I never spotted it!" Meanwhile, u/joethehobo2006 (https://www.reddit.com/r/boymeetsworld/comments/jahbke/comment/g8pizya/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) argues the bed-themed room may be the best joke "Boy Meets World" ever offered, stating, "This has to be the funniest joke in the whole show." If it's not the funniest, it's almost inarguably the most inventive. If nothing else, it's a hilarious reminder of just how smart and low-key witty "Boy Meets World" was at its best.
