methinks Glover & Co are entirely capable of having separate story lines if they decide that Al will drop Earn.
Naked pledges dancing to Laffy Taffy was amazing. I ate a strong eddy before so maybe it wasn't so funny, but fuck I was laughing my ass off. It's also good to know how our SEC frat bros experienced college.
Last nights episode could have been a tutorial on the difference between black & white parties at a state school
*our Georgia Southern isn't SEC. Spoiler One of the bigger initiation things at Auburn's Sigma Chi was running around the house naked while tons of people watched fucking this
I kept getting TLC - Creep music video vibes while watching that last episode. Edit: Scene that was cut from the episode.
That was the first comment my wife made after the episode was over. They really did a great job all around
So Al claims racism in the principal's office, then disarms the shirt situation with some casual racism toward the Filipino kid...
Caught up on the most recent two last night. Tracy had me dying. You knew Earn was gonna get wrecked when they got out of the car. Middle school episode hit home hard. No FUBU obv, but brands in middle school were such a big fucking deal.
Same. How excited he was to go to school was me on the first day of junior high when I got my Tommy Hilfiger carpenter jeans and doc martin shoes (edit - this was suburbia Kansas in 1998 for reference). Very different but also the exact same. It also made me remember how mean kids of that age can be. The kid that played Ern did a great job.
I remember how excited I was about new shoes and clothes. When I was in HS I got a job and bought myself some Forces and was really feeling myself
Came here to basically make this exact post. Watched the last two last night. Earn is such a frustrating character, and intentionally written so. Middle school episode gave a little background, and was one of my favorites of the series so far. Forgot how brutal middle and high school can be, I have no clue how parents guide kids through it. Not only are the other kids brutal, but when you're at that stage in life where you're so unsure of everything and just want to be accepted, little things hurt so much worse. That's easy to forget as an adult.
I remember going to Payless with my mom one time and seeing some shoes I thought were cool. I figured "They're from Payless, but no one will know". Wore them to to the first day of school and one of the mentally handicapped kids was wearing the same ones. Those never got worn again.
It was skater/surfer brands when I was in middle school. I still remember getting clowned for having some "bobo" Airwalks for like two weeks because I didn't know any better.
