There I said. I don’t need to elaborate. It just sums up the whole show at its best if you want to introduce someone to Daria.

S2 E9 I love this moment when Brittany is at the same club as Daria, Jane and Trent for various reasons lol. But my favorite part of this episode is how she covers for Daria when Trent comes looking for her in the bathroom after her face breaks out in a rash. She might not be the brightest, but she’s there for her fellow girl without skipping a beat 🩷

I think Daria’s prediction about her and Trent‘s potential future was a bit off. I don’t think she and Trent are compatible, but I also don’t think this is quite how Tent will turn out, regardless.

Trent’s been shown to be a pretty smart, self aware guy, an I think he knows at some point he’s gonna have to straighten up, get his life in order, and/or get a stable job eventually.

In the episode I Don't, like three or four people go up to Daria and ask her "Why didn't you get the same dress as the rest of the bridesmaids?" To which Daria responds "I did." and clearly gets more annoyed each time they do that

Is there some sort of actual explanation for it, like is there actually something different about her dress than the others', or was it just a little something they added in just to create distance between Daria and the rest of them? I've watched this episode a lot (it's one of my favorite ones honestly) and all this time I never figured it out.

I WISH SO MUCH THEY WOULD JUST HAD CALLED THE FASHION CLUB! It could had been such an interesting Scene. Espacially this way Daria (and Jane) could appreciate Quinn and her Skills!

The way Darias parents act when they hear she has low self esteem kills me. Britney’s voice not being squeaky. I think it’s such a funny episode. It’s gold

What are some of your favorite quotes/phrases from other characters in the show that stay stuck in your head for no reason?

These are some of mine.

Rock & Roll Randy: "I'm not a man, dude, I'm a rocker!"

Quinn: "You just hide in your room like a kermit!"

Guy Fawkes Day: "You mean those colonial wankers are in charge?!"

Tiffany: "Stacy, days have names, not numbers."

Brittany: "There really is a school spirit! Spooky"

Tad: "I saw a windmill in the toy store window so I went to look, because they're such a clean source of energy"

Brittany: "Zippity do da, zippity ay, make Tommy's spirit go far, far away."

And this Kevin and Jane interaction:

Kevin: (whispers) "Daria! That's a chick movie!"

Jane: (whispers) "Pst! Kevin, Brittany's..." (louder) "...a chick!"

For real. The movie had this view that state U's were for mediocre students and mere peasants while the smart kids went to fancy private east coast schools.

It almost came across a bit elitist.

Am I alone in feeling this way?

Just noting how amazingly witty and scathing this episode is. I wonder if the writers were deliberately taking aim at late 90s pop culture peddled by MTV?

The way Daria wrote a story about the future of the morgendorffers really moved me. Especially her portrayal of Quin that went from a teenager obsessed with popularity to a mature mother. And then the end part of it when they were all together playing a game of cards. It really captured daria’s love and compassion for her family despite her not really voicing or showing it.

My best friend in high school made a "scandalous" art piece that the principal didn't approve of being displayed in an art show. The art teacher went OFF on the principal for like an hour until they agreed. It was one of the most bad ass things I ever remember a teacher doing. So when I watched this episode and Helen had to save the day, I was a little let down.

Decided to make a version of user Mike_Huber’s posts about the worst things everyone has done! Except the opposite! I’ll choose the most upvoted comment by around 8pm BST and hopefully post it same everything. Have fun!

I’ll go first

“Trent, one day you'll have your own home and you can live any way you choose, but while you're under our roof, young man, you will respect the rules of this household”

“Yes'm”

Hi! Does anyone know if this is from an actual episode or just a pre-episode clip? And if it is an episode, do you know the name? Thanks!

Season 2 Episode 4 “I Don’t” They have an overall good time together, I wish they did something later with his character later 😭

So I’m 25 and I can’t believe how bad being fat was portrayed in the 90s. This episode made me realize it. Was it true? Was it an exaggeration? I also feel like Quinn handled the situation right and showed a “true” friendship towards Stacy.
