I love how everyone is having fun with the auditions and then Claude comes in and gets all depressing.

From the way Claude's dressed, he seems to be under the impression there's a role going in the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie...

"You know, we have a lot more in common than you think...When I was about your age, I found the body of a classmate who committed suicide." 22 years later

Claude: This place is so stupid! You all are sheeps! Joey: baaa😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wish they had more of a lead-up to things like this, it makes it more realistic. Boom, suddenly Kathleen is anorexic, Claude suddenly wants to kill himself, L.D. suddenly has leukemia. I guess it's hard with short seasons and such a large ensemble cast, but I still think there needs to be a little more of a backstory.

Claude reminds me of Rick from DNG for some reason.

The Zit remedy song haunts my dreams now

I think Claude aready made up his mind to kill himself when he did his poem. It was a good poem but a little too dark. I agree he did that to Caitlin on purpose so she would feel bad.

Every time I watch this, and Joey says "Baaaa", I giggle. He is awesome, and looks great with his shirt off.

Joey, "baaaah"

The poem Claude wrote he was asking for help too at least his best friend tried to help him! If he was fine he wouldn't of killed himself! He should talk to his best friend about his feeling he probably would of felt better!

I think this is such a sad episode I have gone through depression and its nothing to joke about I have felt this way before about someone and if you can't stop thinking about you ex or a current relationship gone bad you can't help but want to express yourself its kinda like self help doing dark poetry and it helps some so I understand to a degree what Claude was going through but its apparent that Caitlin wasn't interested anymore so he should have held his head high and moved on !

snake's barber should be restrained

When Claude says "I wish I were in my coffin", I wanted Joey to shout out "So do we!"

Omg they mentioned this when cam from DNG killed himself n Rick does remind me of Claud

Why did Claude dress like a gay pirate? I was in high school in Canada in the 90s and no one looked like that.

The ice maiden's old boyfriend. lol! I love Joey.

Claude looks way to old to be in highschool! He looks over thirty!

Now I know where jerry Seinfeld got his puffy shirt from

Claude's poem reminds me of the emo shit I used to write in high school

Character building scene for the Snake character.

Claude looks like he's from a spanish drama series

As Much as I love Degrassi an how it is now the older series was way more realistic

Ezra Miller, dat you? I love the way joey and snake literally just sang that song straight through high school. Every talent show, every concert!

Claude should be wearing a fedora lmao

Joey's reaction @ 6:12 always gets me laughing! Claude: Typical, this place is so stupid. You're all a bunch of sheep! Joey: Baaaaaa! XD

Oh how I love the early 80's/90's 😍 I was nowhere near born yet lol

Claude was who I imagined Edward Cullen when I read the book (before the movie) his obsession and attitude toward people is very similar to how Claude treats others lol

Caitlyn's outfit OMG it's like that working out outfit!!!

am i the only who thinks that Claude looks like Selena's husband Chris Perez?

Claude: u r all a bunch of sheep joey: (giggles) baaaaaa me: (laughs uncontrollably)

Is Claude auditioning for a talent show or pirates of the Caribbean!!!😂😂😂

Here go Snake and Joey with this song lol.

This is when Degrassi was at its best Degrassi TNG was great to but Degrassi high just feels more realistic and felt so real I feel bad for Claude I however dudbt like how he treats Caitlin now that's not right.😞

Maya is so adorable

Rather than killing himself, the Degrassi writers should've made him the first school shooter of the Degrassi Franchise. I think that would've made a lot more sense due to the build up from the beginning of the episode.

To me it seemed a little unrealistic of what they made Claude turn out to be. Too forced of a story. Claude didn't care about Caitlin, it was clear by his actions of abandoning her on that fence. He was not emotionally bonded to her, yet they made it that way after the fact. Realistically, Claude would have just moved on to his next rebellious act. Sure, he had a shitty life at home but he was a 12th grader, got good grades, and would be able to ship off to university the year later. He was not stupid, so he could easily figure out for himself that high school would be something he wouldn't ever fondly remember, but he had some great years ahead. In reality, if Claude had rescued Caitlin from the fence, took the heat by fighting the guard to stall for time to get her pushed over, and yet she STILL ended up breaking up with him, then I can see him going into depression. But that wasn't how the story was told. He did absolutely nothing for her, so his net loss to Caitlin was zero. In real life, people flip over the edge when they devote so much care, money, and mutual emotional support, yet get betrayed is where it really genuinely hurts.

I like this show. Old shows are awesome

Somebody really should bring back the Gothic Pirate look!!!!

Why is Claude dressed like it´s the 1800´s?

The stunt with joey and snake wouldn’t fly well in today’s age

The puffy shirt :)

We all knew or know a person like Chode, I mean Claude. Not the suicide part necessarily but just weird for the sake of weird or just weird for attention and/or kind of creepy. Like creepy as in he likes smelling bicycle seats and eats liver every day for lunch and believes that wearing red socks will bind spirits at your feet so you can fly.

I love Joey! Claude: "You're all a bunch of sheeps!" Joey: "Baa..." ^_^ Was it wrong that I laughed at that? XP

Careful for what you wish for Caitlin

R.i.P. Claude Tanner.

"soothing black and warm" uhhh death is cold.

Claude is wearing Seinfeld's pirate shirt

i that person that can't take depresdin things well and starts laughing (unless i need to) so claude's poem just made me laugh but i feel bad for the guy

Claude's poem could have worked if he had a grunge band behind him. :)

Would have been nice of there was some episodes on claude family jow he lived outside of degrassi to really see more of why he was like he was and why. His parents were so nonchalant but so into why he felt as he was...

Claude's poem was fire. I partially blame Bronco and Lucy for this. Then I blame Zig and Mike Dallas for Cam's death.

Joey, and Snake put on their big hats twice.

Claude holds onto too much past shit....like, you did Caitlin dirty, why would she come back to you?

What's with the puffy shirts this guy is wearing? Jerry Seinfeld comes to mind.

The last episode before School's Out, "One Last Dance" is on dailymotion.

Well this intro is....something lmaooo...so different from TNG and Next Class.

late 80's and early 90's was the weirdest fashion ever.

That Claude and his blown-up ego!

is it just me or does Claude look like that guy from Pirates of the Carribean Orlando Bloom when he was saying his poem. X3

The common tale of the misunderstood artist youth...but in High School, a shutout and someone going through a tough time and on top of it the girl he likes hates him for mistakes he made. We all expect that they'll be able to handle their own lives, and many can but some cant. Belittling those kind of people in fiction only marginalizes them in real life.

I’ve only heard Zit Remedy once and I feel as annoyed as when I heard Woah, California and House Arrest for the 1586947785336th time. Is that normal ?😂😭

Claude's hair was just *__* Rick was Claude's clone

04:50 Lucy and Bronco are like "WTF is he saying?" and their uncomfortable expressions

Happy 52nd Birthday David Armin-Parcells aka Claude Tanner 🎉

Claude is getting on my nerves no matter what opportunity he gotten to get help he was just being negative I don't understand.

Unlike Jerry Seinfeld Claude wanted to be a pirate.

Soothing black!

well that was hella depressing!

What happened to the good natured shows that taught you right from wrong??? I love Degrassi Jr High and Degrassi High! The shows I grew up with at 45 years old now.

JOEY WITH HAIR hahaha

lol mya's uncle must be voula's father, because he said that in "The Big Dance" - 'life is like a flower, let it unfold..'

Tried to deal with teen suicide. When claude shot him self it wasn't that bad, he was so self absorbed, and a coward.

Joey is my lover~~ And claude looks like a sad little pirate lololol

Yeah, Byron this guy ain't....

Holy shit mr Simson

Claude must be fun at parties.

Claude needed a friend a real friend.

it would suck if for the next halloween special rick and claude come back to wreak havoc on degrassi

Snake, Joey and Wheels were singing this song in TNG!

they must of overdubbed the footsteps because everyone has the same sound when they walk....lol..even in a rug. I don't understand why they did this ..lol..if you listen you can hear footsteps everytime someone walks like they are wearing shoes,..when they are wearing sneakers...😂🤦🏻

Nice i love the dancing jokets haha

Claude's poem sounds something like Sylvia Plath or Virginia Woolf

Like a lot of teens Caitlyn in having little luck with relationships.

I felt like clode too, ending it all cause nothing matters and almost got killed by opps one time but I realized that day had to come naturally, I have a lot more to do

Wow, this is almost as distressing as the "Eggbert" episode!

Mr. Simpson is so sweet! :(

"Autum leaves, dying leaves"?! SO not appropriate for a talent show!!

Can you tell they did improv with dialogue sometimes? Joanne “oh I don’t know, sometime soon, maybe after these guys”...lol ok!

Claude reminds me of a young Weird Al Yankovic!

Why does that guy with the glasses look like a pirate

His poem is a cry for help it was a suicide poem duhhhh....no one wanted to hear him out!

Jfc, Claude is such an edge lord

To be honest that poem is way to dark period it was a weird way of saying I need help

lol I used to wear grey jogging pants with leg warmers n white sneakers lol

That poem is hilarious.

Snape is really kind

I still dont really understand why he killed himself and i've watched this a few times. :/

cloooooode

Holy Crap!! Clown/Shawn from Slipknot is in the audience!! And what's with all the overblown sound effects?? Especially in the walking/shoes department. It's like everyone is wearing horseshoes.
