SKAM Norway Reaction | Episode 3 | Heartstopper this is not!

[@_carrot__cake_]

Noora: *walks in* Guys: "WHO IS SHE???" I always find it hilarious that people that only watch season 3 have no idea who Noora is, while she's an ABSOLUTE ICON to everyone who's watched the entire thing

[@pixellee6955]

Yeah that hits different if you watched the entire show.

[@crystalpritchard5065]

This version of Noora is the best character across all Skam universes, followed very closely by Sana!

[@remplidefeux]

Yea, if you watch from the start that moment is mixed "Yes shes back!" and "No not now!"

[@marionc.4685]

Noora is so iconic fr 💅

[@Lucifer_Crowe]

For some reason I thought that was Sonja that had come back, because I wasn't paying attention to the girls faces

Don’t think anyone has mentioned this to you yet, but the name for “locker” and “closet” are the same in Norwegian. Soooo, his locker is symbolic of a closet 😜

[@TiaTruly]

@@AStoryWorthTelling YES! definitely pay attention to his locker as the season progresses

[@indieanna6374]

I’m here to say the same thing! Explains so much now and perhaps later

[@locker.535]

😂 me too! Such an amazing metaphor/subtext to the story…my favorite 😉 (hence my account name)

[@Dani-ib6tg]

Skap = locker and closet

[@Casin]

Something I love with Skam is it shows the value of having friends with different viewpoints. Isak has a couple of misconceptions throughout the season but when he talks to his friends about it he gets their perspective on it and learns and grows from that.

[@unlovebreather]

Skam walked so Heartstopper could run! Really loving your reactions

[@mz5863]

yea... or young royals :p

[@EirikMBerg]

He washed the cans because they are returnable in Norway. 😉 I know this isn't the most important thing about this episode. 😂

[@saranissen6210]

The same for Denmark, so you can get a small amount of money back for each juice, soda, beer bottle/can and they get re-used/recycled, instead of just throwing them away somewhere.

[@cc8595]

If you wondered what the look from Jonas meant when Isak mentioned his mom, its because in season 1 his dad left his mom, and his mom had a breakdown. ( I also think its implied that she has some mental health issues in earlier seasons) Jonas knows how difficult that time was for Isak, so the fact she was mentioned made Jonas worry she might have had another breakdown/bad period again, hence the worried look on his face ( its something Isak dont like to talk about, and I think Jonas is the only one of his boy group friends that knows about this)

[@niallp36]

One of my favourite aspects of how Isak's character is depicted is that how confident, flirty and charming he is when he's chatting up girls. He has learnt how I'm sure from watching and listening to his straight friends. He's a performer and he does it well. We see his true feelings in the first episode once his friends leave the bathroom that when he flirts and kisses Emma, that it's just a performance to keep up appearances. Once Emma gets a little too close for comfort, that's when he gets panicked. However, with Even he becomes the complete opposite. Once he is confronted with someone he actually likes he has absolutely NO IDEA how to act or approach a man the way he has been with women. He can't perform his routine because this time it's not a performance. Every time he sees Even he becomes quiet and nervous, and is constantly second-guessing himself and Even's intentions. Even however is the confident one. He is the one who makes advances, where Isak inhabits the passive role. I think a lot of gay men can relate to this 'straight performance' act, and that's just another reason why I think SKAM's depiction of a gay coming-of-age story resonates so well.

[@loulftv]

The girl at the end is the one who lives in London. She previously lived in the shared apartment with Eskild and Linn. Isak got her room when she moved out. :) season two was about her.

[@dianefurlong2911]

Ooh, thanks for clarifying the girl’s identity. I had forgotten about London girl.

[@GirlLovesFairytale]

I love that they call Even hard to read, because there is so much going on ❤ and the whole episode I had butterflies flying around because I knew 'the look' would be there 😂 it didn't disappoint 😂😂

[@Frances86]

Also SKAM Germany aka DRUCK Season 3 is also a very well made version of it. And its available here on KZbin! 😉

[@lyricholmes1827]

Love your reaction! ❤️ I think it’s a great to see how despite Isak’s internalised homophobia, his friends are for the most part chill, and call out his behaviour. Something cool about Skam is all these clips aired in real time in Norway, so you watched the story unfold during the week and on Friday they’d combine all the clips and release a final part for the week. Friday’s clips were always the best. Every character also had their own instagram and would post in real time too, and you had access to text messages between characters. Honestly when this aired my girlfriend and I were obsessed and constantly checked for updates about how Isak and Even were doing!!

[@ingvildp5474]

What I miss most about Skam is the anticipation and not knowing what's gonna happen, and you guys really brought that feeling back! Loving this reaction series

[@emmal.kjelvik1821]

In season 1, 2 and 4 you get more insides to the girls friendgroup. Season 1 was about Eva , season 2 about Noora (the girl in London) and season 4 will be about Sana, but you also get some storyline for Vilde and Chris. Season 3 is actually a bit of a stand-out since it focuses on the boys friendgroup. For instance I think you would've liked Vilde more if you knew a bit of backstory.

[@liyanahriyaz3820]

also it’s so funny when you get upset at Isak lying to his friends, it is quite sad but then me tell you: THIS IS VERY NORMAL FOR ISAK he has a bit of a reputation as a snake from previous seasons (we all still love him to bits obvs)

[@michelle2386]

Vilde is really something, you will have to watch the whole show to really get her, but she is a sweetheart 🩷

[@positronpositron6050]

I have watched all the seasons and she is still annoying to me. Nothing gives her the right to be so inappropriate/rude and imposing on others.

[@positronpositron6050]

@@milnoes I get that, but that still doesn't explain her passive aggression towards Sana throughout the seasons. Sana is a queen to take it all in her stride, though.

[@grangerjung4129]

The actor who portrays Isak, Tarjei Sandvik Moe, was 17 at the time and was a student at that school. I always love the reactions when the almost kiss happens! 😆 Everyone feels the same!

[@08Melb]

You should consider Skam Germany Season 3 (Druck) . It's amazing, the Belgium version as well!

[@persistingchick2949]

You know you’re invested in a reaction video when you have to pause watching it, because you can’t even eat at the same time. Only get 20 minute break for lunch. 😂Must wait until I can give this my full undivided attention.

[@AStoryWorthTelling]

Hehe ❤️

[@theziggy6974]

the girl at the end is the main focus character from season 2, her showing up is supposed to be a huge gag at the end. LOL

[@AStoryWorthTelling]

Haha missed that 😅

[@cottagepie1]

Your reaction when even looked back made me laugh.

[@AStoryWorthTelling]

Haha so unexpected 😱

[@cottagepie1]

@@AStoryWorthTelling I know, lol. Have you ever seen the show Elite, if so just wondering your thoughts on it.

[@AStoryWorthTelling]

Elite… where do I begin… We may have to do this show as there are some WEIRD story lines. The last season was wild 😮

[@cottagepie1]

@@AStoryWorthTelling Weird story lines, that's a good way to put it, haha. Did you hear about Paul O'Grady? Very sad.

[@scubacat22]

You guys are at a bit of a disadvantage because you didn't watch the first two seasons. You obviously don't have to, but you'd have a lot more context about Vilde's character (she's awesome - fierce and loyal), what's going on with Isaac's mom (mental illness - depression, possibly more, Isak had to move out when his dad walked out and mom was hospitalized) , and who that was at the end (Noora - all of season 2 is about her) and why her showing up is important.

[@Shoshin6]

It's just SO, SO cool to see you two SO invested, I was smiling the entire time while watching yous. Thank you!! Can't wait for your next Skam review episode... (and Smiley too ;) but I just love Skam S3 so much :))

[@Nicknotnikki]

I'm SO SO GLAD that you guys are covering this!!! I went down the SKAM universe(s) last summer and swallowed up related content.. Excited to watch you guys discover it..

[@camhusmj38]

Have you seen the Belgium version? Season 2 of that is my favourite telling of this story. It includes so much more.

[@s.sharine]

I already watched on Patreon the other day, but I absolutely had to watch again on KZbin because this reaction was so good!! 😅 There were some tense / heart racing moments and I’m so glad you felt it too! Your enthusiasm after each episode makes me so happy. 😊 I was also shook at the LOOK. The Call Your Girlfriend scene is ICONIC honestly. Loved that you want a kiss and also just some honesty and no more BS from Even, since he’s, like you said, kind of hard to read or predict where this is going, especially since you’re new to the series and the Skam format. Again, thank you so much for reacting. Can’t wait for the next episode!! ❤

[@angell.r.dorado9891]

The girl at the end is Nora she is Eskild and linn’s roommate before Isak and the central character of season 2. She had a whirlwind romance with a guy named William and moved with him to London. Also locker and closet are the same word in Norwegian, so watch out for that in the future.

[@amiramustapha6460]

Do you know how much I like you two? I saw this already on Patreon, and now I'm watching it again on KZbin!

[@DarkPh0enix25]

12:20 if y’all had watched the first season it was all about Isak’s friend Jonas. The one who called him out for his homophobia. Since season 1 Isak has been made fun of and people calling him gay. Jonas was always there to defend Isak even though Isak was still in the closet to everyone. Of course Jonah is shocked that Isak is putting out that same negative energy he too was subjected too.

[@tonyas4551]

This is why we needed you to watch Skam! Sure you can’t watch one more this week!?

Love the consistency with Skam & Smey

[@crystalpritchard5065]

You guys talking about wanting honesty and consistency in the next episode not knowing the roller coaster that is season 3 of Skam 😂

[@amyseaden9069]

Remember seeing an interview with the creator and when researching for this series she interviewed some young gay men who didn’t personally feel like they identified with the gay community and didn’t feel like they saw other gay men like them being represented in things like the media or public in general. I can only assume that it made coming out much more confusing and isolating. She decided to explore the subject through Isaac.

[@TheEllyyyyy]

Not having the Vilde slander 😤 The absolute best character in Skam! You would love her if you watched all four seasons!

[@cille713]

Vilde is really a great character. she is very flawed and can come of as a bitch but she has such a good character arc. Also, the moment Even looks back at Isak still gives me chills after watching it a million times

[@insertsmartusername2059]

Just recently stumbled across these guys and think theyre hilarious lmao, I loved skam when it was airing and Noora was my absalute fav so I'm really hoping they dont get the wrong idea about her because theyre watching S3 stand alone bahahaha

[@ryanking6851]

Your reactions are iconic omg i love it. I think you'd really like all the other seasons of this show. Each season is centered on a different person. Noora, the girl who showed up at the end, was the main character of the previous season. Eva was for season 1 and Sana is season 4. Honestly every season is equally good in my opinion but i think Isaak's is probably the most popular. It's different from the first two seasons only because it doesn't focus so much on the girl friend group which was the primary focus before. The next season does a good job at merging that with more of a general focus of this season.

[@theillytellez3761]

Man I'm having such a f*ing awesome time watching this xD couldn't breathe when I thought they were going to kiss 🤣

[@AmyAberrant]

“He’s not gonna look back” * Gay screaming *

[@tortellinibaked]

Who is she??? She's Noora, the main character from season 2 and we were happy to see her back.

[@aylao948]

There are a time in a previous season where one of the girls borrowed Isak’s phone and they briefly mentions that they see gay porn in his search history. And questions whether he is gay or not but they lean towards that he is not.. don’t remember if it’s in the end of last season or earlier but it is there…

[@surelyashley5726]

Also, if you guys like Sana that much you can react to react to season 4 (the last season). Most lbgtq reactors who react to season 3 usually end up watching season 4. It's Sana's storyline but also has Isak and Even in it. Also, Vilde is actually sweet, a little forward, but sweet.

[@nahaiatours]

Now that you watched, you can understand that the "aluminum leg" was a metaphor

[@MicukoFelton]

Isak's locker not wanting to open properly is symbolic. Locker and Closet in Norwegian can be said using the same word.

[@sarasvensson6026]

I can't wait for the next reaction! It's gonna be hard to wait a whole week 😅

[@evie7601]

you’re so not ready for the rest of the season omg!!! you should watch the french remake it’s really innovative when it comes to Isak’s storyline!

[@DarkPh0enix25]

21:49 she’s the main character from the second season.

[@GirlLovesFairytale]

I hate the cliffhangers too 😂 but I think its because how it was put on television in Norway. Every week there was a new episode I believe almost like a soap, cliffhangers are more common in that kind of shows. So I get it, still hate it through 😂

[@juwen7908]

You've to watch the season 1 & 2 to understand the last scene. Everyone of us, who did it, has the same reaction as you two like "Noooo ...What the fuck!" when it comes to the interruption of what we call 'The almost kiss', but then we think "Oh, yeahh! It's Noora! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳" 😎😁😎😁😎

[@ZLProductions]

Season one has no gay couple. But you should defenately see it. It's ICONIC!!

[@Alice_Novelland]

I know this is an older post, but have you ever done a Q&A? I'm curious about your own stories and friendship :)

[@positronpositron6050]

This is one of my favorite 3 episodes! Evak's chemistry is sizzling, especially in the kitchen and on the dance floor (I remember having stopped breathing when I first watched it). Also, 1. Jonas and some others in S1 were a bit homophobic to Isak, which is when he started internalizing the homophobia (you should really watch S1 after this! It has baby Isak). However, Jonas grew up and matured, while Isak took all the comments to heart and it fed his shame ("Skam"). 2. Yes, Vilde is ANNOYING as hell. However, she drives the plot so I tolerate it. Without her, there would have been no neon party! 3. Yep, men leching at women is off-putting and creepy. I think they were just showing it to emphasize the difference in reactions of Isak vs the rest. And you two ARE funny! ♥

[@Dani-ib6tg]

You are getting a few suggestions to follow up with watching some of the other remakes of Skam, so to help you both decided… Skam remakes, season 3 summed up in one word: Skam France - Cinematic Druck - Beautiful WTFock - Passionate Anyone else have any other suggestions / additions?

9:30 it's been a while since ive watched skam but i remember liking Vilde as a character, so i don't think she is meant to be a mean girl 🤔 she is kinda annoying but not necessarily in a bitchy way i would say

[@TiaTruly]

Not a mean girl at all, she's just young and has a lot of growing up to do. I love the character development in SKAM!

[@Cookie_moonlove]

I feel your way of interpreting things and expectations seem to be very tv-series/movies expectations and Skam is all about being realistic. It's not drama with extremes to chock etc. And god I wish you would have watched from the first season, you have missed 2 seasons of the characters and their relationships to each other so you do misinterpret a lot and missed lots of hints of things in previous seasons that click when you watch this season. But it's ok and I know people always recommend this season first so it's not your fault. But it's sad for your sake you miss out on so much and focus on stuff you wouldn't if you knew what already happened and all of theirs dynamic. ´remember that Norway and Sweden is very different from the US for example and if you are homophobic you will get called out and if you're gay it's often not something anyone react to when they find out.

[@whitefox998]

I like pointing out that if you re-watch the kitchen scene, the writer is, without directly saying it, reinforcing Isak's sexuality and clarifying what Even's actually is. If you need a hint, focus on what is on his head.

[@marthahammel8543]

[@AmyAberrant]

[@run2u256]

I think some of the feeling behind googling "The Gay Test" comes from not exactly knowing "what's like to BE Gay", maybe through lack of representation or knowledge you're young and not sure what would be like to "feel" Gay you know what mean? At least that was my thought process googling 👀 lol 😅

[@thecarterfilez]

[@ryanwalter9109]

I think the fact that a gay test will generally give us the answer is the reason we do them. I believe I did some back in the days of MySpace. I think it's the reassurance we get. Back during the back injury of 2013, when I got into watching KZbin, it wasn't uncommon to watch coming out videos and other LGBTQ+ content to establish community and to find other people like me. I certainly wasn't confused about my sexuality, which I'd accepted many years beforehand and came out back in 2007. My engagement to my ex-fiancé Tim had just ended a few months earlier. I definitely knew what I liked. It always frustrates me when they interrupt the kiss scene. I think Noora should have been delayed at Gardermoen so the boys could have had their kiss!

OK LISTEN no spoilers but my first time through this season I was like "wtf even is a walking red flag get away from him isak" and was so sure I wouldn't end up rewatching... but later in the season you'll get some info that will make his behavior make a lotttt more sense (still not beyond reproach but like OHH shit ok). and there's another nugget of info in s4 that really ties it all together. I've rewatched this season so many times now and I'm deeeeply attached to Even 😂 Alsooooo the boys definitely have one-track minds when left unchecked and it's annoying af, I definitely wanted to yeet them for a lot of this season BUT hopefully you'll be fond of them by the end, they were maybe my happiest surprise of the season Finally... that internalized homophobia REALLY makes isak an asshole, even in s1 😒

[@blakedowning1811]

I think one of the things that makes Isak (all of us) fall in love with Even is that he's just constantly taking the piss. In Ep1, taking all the paper towels for no reason in front of Isak, in Ep2 goading Isak into making weird and disgusting toast with him, in this Ep telling this whole fake story about Sonya and the land mine.
