Brenda Walsh Can Still Hear The Chanting Of “Donna Martin Graduates”
September 13, 2009
Do 90210 geeks exist? If they exist, they will love this clip from next week’s episode, because it mentions “Donna Martin graduates,” which is the #1 top inside 90210 catchphrase that anyone remembers at all. My brother and I chanted it to my mom anytime she couldn’t find her purse for some reason.
Can you FEEL the awkwardness? Those two are such good actors, working with such amazingly natural dialogue, that the audience actually feels transported to our respective high school cafeterias to make small talk at 7 AM with someone we’ve always hated.
Kelly: I hate early mornings.
Brenda: Don’t worry about it.
Did anyone else have the knee-jerk reaction to say, “Don’t worry about it” a la The Room’s Tommy Wisseau out loud as soon as Brenda said that? No? Just me? Weird.
Also, “My boyfriend is so young, I asked him where he was when Kurt Cobain died and he said he was watching cartoons.” Uggggh! Isn’t that an old Woody Allen joke, but with JFK? Did they really just steal a dumb old Woody Allen joke?
