Lol Cook immediately perking up at 0:31 when JJ stands up. Bloody love it

[@sirbuffalo]

LOL at everyone whining about how cringy everyone was being. Here's a real shocker for you all: teenagers are extremely cringy. It's a bunch of edgelords and cringelords running around thinking they're being so profound and special and grown up. It's all a part of growing up. A few years from now everyone here will be cringing at what they were like today. So the show was very realistic in that department.

[@Laila-hl8dc]

no

[@sirbuffalo]

@@Laila-hl8dc Yeah, your argument holds no power, because it's non existent lol

[@paloma8632]

Yeah but in this particular scene it was framed as something serious, like when Freddie talk about a girl he barely met that same day, they put music and all, like it was romantic when in reality its just weird, like he didn't even know her, and why would you say it in front of the whole class anyways lol. The only one who sounded normal was Naomi.

[@philbecker4676]

As someone raised in England, the biggest leap of imagination for me in Skins (and god knows there are many) is that Cook, Freddie and JJ would be best friends at school. Those are three COMPLETELY different social groups. I never saw chavs hanging out with greebos, and god knows neither of those people would have talked to an autistic geek kid 🤣

[@iliketrains3495]

Cook and JJ made a lot of sense to me. I'm autistic and as time went on I became quite well-liked by guys of a completely different social league, and they had possibly one of the best friendships of the show, I thought it worked. I think Freddie stuck with them too because they both rely on him (Cook so he doesn't get himself into deep shit, and JJ for social scenarios)

[@MS-ly4mx]

What is a greebo?

[@joogullae3456]

The fuck is a chav and a greebo?

[@dri9266]

I don’t live in England but I feel like this friendship kind of made sense,

[@sydandtaytum]

i think it's the type of situation where they probably grew up together due to their parents being friends or something. so over time they just spent a lot of time together and formed a deep friendship

[@yusrahashim1112]

2:18 lmfao why is no one talking about cook's face😭 and the line "seven members of my immediate family have been on crimewatch"😭😭

[@littleli6022]

Why is everyone suddenly bashing the show in the comments? If the language here makes you cringe that hard, then you'll probably have a stroke when watching Euphoria.

[@ariinandrade]

EXACTLYYY

[@julienvaillantcourt2036]

I do have a stroke when I watch Euphoria. But I loved skins when I was 13 and just didn't see the cringe back then. Now I see it but I still love the show bc its memories lol.

[@Aj01110]

@Jordan May or maaaaaybe were not edgy 14 year olds anymore and can see through the act that effy puts on.

[@iliketrains3495]

I think it's because the show's undergone a big revival in popularity since COVID due to TikTok and stuff like that. My guess is that a lot of the people here got into Gen 1 and never really liked any others. Also the majority of them are Cassie stans, and hate Effy and Sid

[@AP-jg1sb]

Skins was not super realistic, yet it does match a certain vibe there was in the early 2000s... I think people had kind of gotten very numb and relaxed at that stage, and things were in a way much less stressful than they are today... It was a strange time I realize now, because nowadays people are much more on the edge regarding identity, sex, and puritanical ... This era was really the END of the 70s... Whereas now we are in the hangover aftermaths..... Also, last but not least: I feel like the characters were perhaps a bit too mature and advanced for their age... It feels more like Uni vibes...

[@orbitalwarrior]

Who actually cares if this is realistic or not? What a load of useless comments. This scene is not meant to be realistic, it's an introduction of the characters and the main storylines. Besides, try being a teacher, and then come talk to me about 'realistic' things teenagers would (not) say in class. Katie always depends on her boyfriends for selfworth, Emily places herself below Katie, Naomi is an activist but still needs to find peace within herself, JJ lets himself be defined by his condition, Effy wants to be tough but already shows signs of her own fragility because she's shaken to the core about her parents' relationship, Freddy is a hopeless romantic and is genuinely interested in Effy, while Cook is only looking for cheap thrills and not allowing himself to be vulnerable and a better version of himself. To top it of, Pandora is completely lost and depends on Effy to have some direction in her life. Anyone who's criticizing this scene years later, has lost the magic of the show and the connection with their inner teenager.
