Honestly I loved that aspect of Huey's character. It reminded me that even though he is wise beyond his years he's just a kid that's still learning to grow. He can be an ass, but it's a flaw that really brings out the humanity in his character imo.
I think a lot of us knows how it feels to have a friend where their friendship means much more to you than yours does to them... If you've never felt that, you're either really likable and have good taste in people, or you're likely that friend.
Story of my life up until the past few months. Now I work hard to find this sort of internal dance, never holding back from helping others within reason, but always doing so with the understanding that they may not appreciate me as much as I appreciate them.
@@calmexit6483 Yeah, it can be rough sometimes. But I've learned if you look hard enough, and are patient enough, you'll eventually find those willing to be the same for you. But they are few and far between. However, I've also found that you may find it in unlikely places; sometimes, those willing to go deeper with their friendships are hiding just under your nose. Good tidings, man.
@@truenewtype2239 God DAMN, you're brainless. She did think she had a best friend, and it was him, but since he made it brutally clear that he isn't her friend at all, that's why she said she doesn't think she has a best friend, because he never was despite her thinking he was the whole time up until that point.
I think Huey cutting her heart out with a pocketknife and stabbing it to the tree would be LESS painful than what he just did. He may be a brilliant strategist and martial artist, but when it comes to that girl Jazmine, NOTHING is getting through that thick skull of his.
he only screams in season 1. He does come close to yelling in season 2 but in the next seasons they made him a complete background character which I hated
@@drestathagangsta8880 now I wonder why this thing about "people you used to know don't know you no more" be true asf because sadly they'll only fw you if you happened to have something good or bad going on that caught their attention
I think that may happen one day. Huey and Jasmine both in college. Riley a hustler. Cindy becomes another Ann Coutler but she messes with Riley on the sly..
Jazmine may not realize it, but with one question she both hurt Huey and made him realize something he should have known: Cairo was no longer a friend. Look at Huey. He is hurt. He knows she is right and he is in denial. His “Sucks for you” is really him unable to say,”You’re right.” 00:31 What is more she was right and at the end refers to people like Cairo as his “other so called friends.” She is reminding/giving an “I told you so.”
Tigerman1138 he didn’t make that realization until the end of the episode when cairo was being fake, then he saw jazmine and he realized that was his best friend
metaphor for his old life being something he needed to let go...he was still mentally in Chicago instead of accepting the reality of where he was and why he was their in the first place.
@@buttercupdabaddieutonium9257 It depends on the friendship. I can go months without speaking to my childhood best friends since we live in different cities now. But when we link up, it's like we never separated. Alot of friendships are like that.
It hurts when you relate a little. You see someone as your friend when they don't think much about you or consider you one of your best friends despite hanging out a lot.
Jasmine represented conformity...he did not want to conform to the status quo. He wasn't ignoring her as much as fighting the reality of his life circumstance. Super pro-Black revolutionary but life has played out to deliver a "high yella" girl, who was half-white making it even more against his ideals, who believed in everything he hated to be his life partner(and not necessarily romantic partner tho).
You know, the emotion of this scene went over my head when I was younger, but now the look on her face and tone in her voice when she says "I don't think I have a best friend" just screams painful betrayal because I now realize she's saying it to the person she wants to consider her best friend but is just realizing isn't 😢
People gotta realize that the reason Huey wanted to connect with his homie bc he was one of his only connections to his past (Something he didn't want to forget/lose). I'm sure he liked shawty but at that point she had a long way to go to earn trust in his mind.
My heart goes out tonight to this cartoon drawing of a little girl and the words of her voice actor who breathes life through a microphone for her. Peace be with your animators and their screenwriters.
Well, at least at the end of this episode, Huey seems to have realized that Jazmine is his true best friend and developed a better appreciation for his friendship with her.
When she said "how can he be your best friend if you never talk to him?" Huey went silent because he feared what she said was true and he wasn't friends with Cairo anymore
I think I know what he meant by "Sucks for you." He sarcastically feels bad for her for not already thinking of him as her best friend. Her lack of one is a result of her own thinking, while in reality, Huey already knows she thinks of him as such.
I love how everyone's talking about how this is savage, even for Huey, when in the comics, this is actually what passes for nice with the way he treats her. How he treats her in the show is pretty much lifted directly from the comics version of Cindy, who's Jazmine's best friend there. In fact, I think Jazmine and Cindy had a scene like this in the comics, and the context was that Cindy was shutting her out over something.
I have to check this show out! They’re too precious, and the voice acting is great (based solely on this clip.) I dint even knew the context, but I feel sorry for both of them.
I admit I don't really like this episode that much but I did realize something about this particular scene and ep thinking back on it because seeing this I was like "huh Huey seems a lot more hostile to Jasmine then he usually is" but then I remembered this actually came out before stuff like "The Block is Hot" and "The Passion of Reverend Ruckus." Since thinking about it in most of season one Huey either sort of ignored Jasmine or didn't really bother wanting to talk with her. However after being betrayed and punched out by Cairo I think Huey actually decided to try being nicer to Jasmine actually seeing her much more as a friend and doesn't ever try and be really cruel to her again which yeah does show even in weaker episodes you can find good moments in them.
You want to come over to my house tomorrow after school and watch TV? No. Do you want to come over and play video games? No. Do you want to come over and have a jump rope contest?
That's cold Huey. When a girl offers you over to her house, you do not turn it down. Unless she's 300 lbs and has a pit bull who doesn't take kindly to strangers.
She's commenting on how Huey should be her friend. Huey is too much of an idiot to see what she means. He's not "being savage", he's literally oblivious.
