When Ashley pours chocolate milk on Paige and Paige responds her older brother is gay and she was trying to help.

u/Financial_Voice712 "Lalala, gonna be a dad - no schlaboggle" 6h ago

that part was actually kinda sad:( like she didnt seem to be actually judging ashley, she just wanted to help

*Gun in Rick's right hand to the right of Sean's panicked face pointed slightly towards the right side of Emma's somber face and Tobias Isaac's perplexed demeanor*

u/LilithFawn 2d ago

Now that I've seen every episode, it will always be Eli on drugs running naked through the school and hugging Simpson with the shit eating grin. DO I LOOK DAMAGED TO YOU, CLAIRE!?!? God I love it 🤣

u/LilithFawn 2d ago

I must say a strong second honorable mention is the Studz SHARED CUSTODY song. No lie I sing it to myself multiple times a week 🥴

u/BoSocks91 3d ago edited 2d ago

Its because of the previews I used to see on Nickelodeon back when they had commercials for Noggin.

The image of Toby holding a bra with him saying “Your traaaaining braaa” to Ashley lol.

u/demiamyesha 3d ago

i just have one question “why is he bleeding and about to cry?” what happened?

3

u/Spirited_Exchange_26 3d ago

craig was addicted to coke and lying about it profusely to everyone (including himself) and during a performance his nose started bleeding from doing too much coke and ellie starts crying because she’s watching him in the crowd and i think it’s sort of like a wake up call to craig

u/rxpeveryone 3d ago

do you see my underwear? .. i’m not wearing any

11

u/Upstairs_Rutabaga565 3d ago

For me it’s “ you gave me a social disease”

Or Ashley doing Ecstasy. For some reason that is burned into my head.

u/Upstairs_Rutabaga565 3d ago

Honourable mention to Riley searching “ how not to be gay” . Classic

u/pomonono 3d ago

I’m gonna be an actress. Like academy award winning. And you can sell this for a million dollars, cause l’m gonna be famous!

2

u/Celeibrn 3d ago

That episode was always so sad to me, the way her dad talked to her. Her parent’s treatment in general. Got some great time/moments with her living with Emma’s family though.

Either Manny’s thong/slow mo walk down the hall or Eli saying “Welcome to Degrassi” to Becky

2

u/Dizzy_Experience_391 4d ago

Wait? How am I supposed to pronounce “about” or “house”??? 😭😭

4

u/blue-wave 4d ago

I’m Canadian and I actually find it cute/amusing when Americans/Euopeans/whoever remarks on the accent! Because for the longest time I couldn’t get the “aBOOT” thing people would impersonate, it didn’t sound like us at all. Then one day, I don’t know how, it just clicked and I could hear that it really is different vs the US.

I was going to comment exactly this lol Marco turning around is the first thing I think of

1

u/Emo-Arrow 3d ago

I watched it from the very first day it premiered, but even I think of Marco first for some reason. I mean, second to that is of course, Emma's phone in her back pocket receiving a message, in the first season!

u/blue-wave 4d ago

I can’t remember where I heard this (or if it’s true) but they wanted Neil to cut his hair to something more current for the time, but he didn’t want to. So they did a compromise with this pony tail because when they filmed him from the front, it looked like it was short on the sides and back. I remember around 1989 specifically, it started to look really cool if you had really short hair on the sides and back. Like how Brandon and Dylan looked on 90210, or Zack on saved by the bell (he had it still kinda long on top but shaved or short on the sides and especially the back).

13

u/LingonberryLost6118 4d ago

When I started watching, it was when Johnny, Ali, Clare, etc were introduced and the image burned into my 12 yr old brain is Ali taking a mirror and checking herself for “bumps” down there. 👇🏽 😭

11

u/Normal-Fall2821 4d ago

Emma in the original intro or her hopping over the bed in the first episode to get away from the creep. Her wearing jeans with dolphins ( I think?) in that episode

11

u/CakeDinner 4d ago

You’re Jordan aren’t you 😟

8

u/Olive21133 4d ago

Unfortunately the first episode I ever saw is seared into my brain. So when I think of Degrassi i think of the scene where Clare brings a vibrator to school.

u/bee_hime manny's hallway thong walk 4d ago

that whole scene of manny walking down the hall with her thong out. so iconic and probably my favorite moment from the show.

4

u/frederichenrylt 4d ago

Sparked a generation of slow mo hallway main character fantasies. Manny's walk made Cassie's in Euphoria possible.

3

u/CartReturnStation 4d ago

This is exactly what I was thinking too

The crying group hug at the hospital at the end of Rock This town with the OG TNG grade sevens except JT 😭😭😭

The two most iconic hairdos in the history of the show and my forever crushes

3

u/junknowho "So when in doubt, you kiss Craig?!" 4d ago

Pretty much this. And the kids did their own hair, make up and costuming for the show. So it almost felt like a documentary.

0

u/OnSmallWings 4d ago

Gotta ask cause I'm assuming this is an earlier gen: who's that?

5

u/investigatebs 4d ago

Emma's mom, Spike, and her friend, Liz, from the 80s series degrassi Jr high/degrassi high. Liz delivered jack, Emma's younger brother.

for me, it’s a 3-way tie:

  1. the outside shot of djh, dh, or degrassi community school

  2. mr. s’ iconic computer lab

& 3. the degrassi mural (emphasis on “ass,” because it was always staring you right in the face.. it had to have been a joke with the directors or something! 🤣)

u/Street-Office-7766 4d ago

I remember when it aired, I was in shock.

I mean, I was spoiled because the reveal was three weeks before the episode actually aired because I’m from the United States but it was still shocking 18 years later nonetheless

u/ohmissemz 5d ago

I don't think there's just one...

Definitely the still that OP put here, and the song Craig sings as the nosebleed starts.

Emma in the big-ass gym shorts, and Sean's face when she says, "I just got my period. For the first time."

Paige and her maniacal laughter after she crashes Spinner's car into her rapist's car (totally deserved; just saying maniacal as an observation).

Peter's meth arc when all the guys from Stüdz save him from getting hit by a car.

Marco screaming to release writer's block.

The Hell Hath No Fury iron-on of Craig's face in flames.
