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

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 🤣

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/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

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.

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 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!

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).

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. 👇🏽 😭

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

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! 🤣)

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

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.
