Best of New Orleans on the Real World ⚜ 

It’s Melissa bringing her own rice for me.

Everybody knows the music was like the eighth roommate; guiding important plot points & providing atmosphere. Sad to see even the original intro music has been replaced in addition to many other cues throughout the episodes that are (FINALLY) available on Paramount+ 😔 The Real World was/is a literal time capsule or yearbook for the 30+ & up club. I graduated high school the year the New Orleans season premiered, so I was looking forward to a COMPLETE rebroadcast of the episodes with everything intact, but Viacom insists on being cheap & not paying the artists/labels for the music licensing 🙄 So, here we are: A lukewarm "homecoming" of an otherwise great season of a legendary series

Matt really dressed like that and thought it was fire; what an era

Fiona Apple playing over the scene when they all arrived at the house is such a nostalgic sign of the times. Ugh…God takes me back lol. 😩😂❤

This was one of the best RW seasons.

When Julie fought that woman and was like wow I lost, and Melissa was like, “well you fought a girl named squirrel”. I remember dying when I saw that and I hope I find that clip.

the style on that blonde guy is peak 2003

21:33 LMFAO legendary. Iconic moment. This should have included Melissa’s “Time out! Time the f*** out!” though. And the legendary Mardi Gras confessional. But what about the South Africa trip? Arguably the GOAT season behind the original New York and the original San Diego. Truly excited for the Homecoming.

The year 2000 when dog robots where are thing.

Been watching the Real World Homecoming- New Orleans cause feeling nostalgic for the late 90s. One of the best times to grow up. It's crazy to see that whole crew in their 40s. Plus, always loved Melissa. Her personality is still infectiously fun and she was one of the first people of Filipino descent that I ever saw on TV.

Come on be my baby tonight LOL that song has randomly appeared in my head out of nowhere for 20+ years

David's insistence on turning his introduction into a music video no matter WHAT was so funny. "Can't you just say my name is David. I'm 22 years old. I'm from ...?" David: Ok but I'm gone have to "flow it" 🤨🤨🤷🏾‍♀🤷🏾‍♀🤦🏾‍♀🤦🏾‍♀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dave when they’re presenting themselves on the television network had me 💀 Ol wannabe r Kelly lookin ass

Along with the great cast...the soundtrack for this season (along with Seattle) was f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c!

I was coming into my teens during this season and RW:NO was such a big deal. We all wanted to be as bold & wild as Melissa lol great memories

This season shaped me as a person, I was in middle school. First exposure to don't ask don't tell...so many great and difficult conversations were had. I think the Julie's of today would have a harder time. Of course with sm there's less excuses to say things like "colored" 🤯 I was very affected by these people though all of them and hope they're well. I remember looking up to Kelly Melissa and Danny in particular.

Incubus playing in the back ground

I just watched this whole thing. Lol. Such good times. I was 17 at the time. Melissa was my fave.

David is embarrassingly bad

RIP Anne Rice tho

Wow before Katrina.

Melissa was so damn funny. Maybe the funniest cast member ever. She always killed me with her impressions, especially of her mum and dad.

"Come on, Be my baby tonight " I'm crying🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was 17 when this came out. LOL. Danny, who I had a huge crush on because he was one of the few gay characters on TV at the time, was 22. He's now 44. Jeez...where the f***k did the time go???

As someone from New Orleans, I remember being at a Mardi Gras parade one night, and passing by the Belfort, where the cast was all sitting out on the steps. One of my favorite seasons of the Real World. I still crack up thinking about when Melissa was in the car, and trying to get directions for Thrift City. Is it a four lane, no Tulane....ha, ha.

Come and be my baby tonight!!! Still a classic. And, full on Monet!!!! Danny and Paul!!! Wow I was 15/16 when this came out and I remember it like yesterday!!!

99.5 percent Mormon? What was the other .5 percent?

And Julie thought she could wrestle Coral lmfaoo

It’s so refreshing to see honest depictions of gay men on TV other than the super flamboyant and sassy gay men on TV now that perpetuate gay stereotypes

I relate to Melissa bringing her own rice

Wow I was 15 when this aired and remember it so well...my fav Real World season and the soundtrack...aww man...im crying now

As a little gay boy, I was deeply affected by Danny 😍

My favorite season of all time… yet I’ve never watched it in order. Good ole pre streaming days lol

Kelly calling David (a grown Black man) a “big ol’ boy” never sat right with me. Especially with her being from Deep South Georgia. But I loved Melissa and Danny. ❤

People can say what they like, I have always been convinced that David is gay. And its never been more clear than in the homecoming season.

David's flow was aweful. I know flow music and that wasn't. It said nothing about him.

Technology in 2000. A robot dog

I loved the bond & chemistry between Danny and Kelly. Their bond is what made me always want a good girlfriend who I could confide in as a gay boy. Melissa was my fav though.

The young adults in the Real World: New Orleans are doing their job in TV broadcasting. : )

Julie should’ve been charged with attempted murder for what she did to Veronica on The Challenge

Does anybody else think that Danny comes off as fake in the way he speaks? He really does for me.

Definitely loved this season growing up. I just watched their homecoming season, but it’s been so long since I’ve seen this season lol. One of these days I need to rewatch it on Paramount Plus.

I was just in New Orleans. I saw the Belfort. Super cool. Probably my favorite of the Real World seasons. The French Quarter is just gross now.

That feeling of dejá vü that hits watching these is so crazy-I’m right back to when I saw this season for the first time all over again.

Did she say Ann Rice was the most famous person in New Orleans?

Wow, it's got the original music. HOpefully that means what airs on Paramount plus soon will have it's music intact! Big surprise.

some scenes look so scripted. like when they were watching david sing on video.

Dude the music in the back....incubus...Fiona apple...I miss this

20:57 😂😂😂 classic Melissa

Best season!! Peak Real World. Danny 4ever!!

I miss this type Of reality tv

Julies constant weird smile enraged me

I'm 40 now but seeing this takes me back to coming home from school, getting a snack, and watching TRL and the real world. lol It was definitely a better time in my life that's for sure

28:31 I've thought back on this scene so many times over the past 2 decades and laughed my ass off. Melissa was always such a character and her overreactions always cracked me up.

„It was insane, she was supposed to be joking around.“ She was. That flailing was cringe.

Good content

David understood how to stand out from the crowd and be a tv personality!!!!

David sniffed it right out the gate 1:42

We’re they getting paid ?

David - the original O BLOCK member

Watching this made me ridiculously happy. Thank you!

This is when I never watched this show before until I watched their moments on MTV Vault's RU-vid channel. : )

Sheesh take me back to these good ol simple days

scoobydoo dabooda,lol. always a delight

I ussd to love the Real World when I was younger. This is back when MTV or just TV in general wasn’t oversaturated with reality shows like it is now . I always wondered how MTV afforded these big houses .

Danny was maybe the hottest man in the world for 8 months.

I heard this is the next reunion on paramount plus!❤️❤️❤️ (first like and comment)

Omg the robot dog lol wow lol

I couldn't stand matt

I had a crush on Dr Peter !!!!

David's real 7 segment was beyond cringe. Matt and Melissa were actually pretty good.

Wow I feel it now use to argue with my friends which one would u want to do the real world or road rules also the fashion lol first seven seasons where imo the best NY LA Boston San Fran Chicago Seattle I believe they did London in there too I know going to get killed then New Orleans um Vegas Hawaii New Orleans was last time watch and really cared

I miss these days!!! and all i could think when i saw David was "come on be baby tonight"

Tokyo was wroooooong about his video presentation 😂😂

11:40 He looks like the black version of Russell Crowe.

wait! They used "immortal" by Kittie as a back track!!! my inner goth kid just freaked out.

First time I think I've seen these faces in 20 some years. This is some unexpected intense nostalgia.

I can't wait to watch this real world homecoming

I loved this season and all the seasons. My fav season is Miami season 6

🎶 Come on be my baby tonight🎶

What season was this again?

That’s cab looks so old

What’s season number is this

Big ol boy.... Word

good times

Are they living in the house from AHS : Coven???

You all need to chill on race issues and just love people for who they are not color of skin. You all are making problems by focusing on those issues. I've dated and have friends of all races, in the end we love the ones that connect to us and life is ever changing and short so embrace each day.

Melissa dancing between the two guys cracks me up.
