Fred is the only one nodding his head whenever he talks lmbo

[@mundanejane353]

[@neikaplay]

Nina is the typical insecure bully. She is so threatened by J and how effortlessly she managed to capture the attention of both Fred and White Jay. Don't let anybody make you think you aren't deserving and special y'all.

[@wastedonregrets]

OMG when she put the tampon down with the money, I screamed. I felt the awkwardness FOR her. I had to pause the video

[@Jadeezy_]

[@Lonelyeco]

This fake Christian has me through.

Lya Job 2018 I BEAT YOU 😂😂

[@shamelesslycool]

The other day, I ran into a cashier at the grocery store with a "baby voice" like Darius. It took everything within me not to burst out laughing in his face. When real people remind you of characters in series, that's how you know it's a good show. Keep of the great work!

[@sweetcrimson]

The whispering dude...omg

[@iiNDiie1]

Every time I see Patty I die fucking laughing 😂 😂 😂 😂 with all those tissues around her neck

[@tashajackson7968]

Bruhhhh every time Darius starts whispering I fall out laughing 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭

[@sinakat]

Also LOVED LOVED how Darius was asking Jay for the lemons but she didn't understand him then once Fred handed him those lemons, the look he gave Jay and how he was looking at her while putting the lemon in his water cracked me up!

[@summerm37205]

"thats how hoes end up on Maury" lmfao

[@TheSandersonSistersTBMOTH]
