Archie goes to juvie. "Okay, what's that like?" "I don't know. Jail for kids?" "Okay, fine. So prisoner abuse and secret fight clubs and riots, check"

"I dropped out of school in the second grade, to sell drugs to support my nana" "Then you've never experienced the epic triumphs and defeats, highs and lows of high school football"

My wife watched this scene yesterday, I kept glancing up from a book and asking what the actual fuck. It went from that to evil nuns drugging kids or something in like one episode

I've seen maybe 10 seconds of it, identified it as "oh look, more teen high-school drama played by 20-year-olds", and moved on.

But I googled for and then sat through the whole 2 minutes of the compilations of bad dialogue! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I413MkRV328

OMG it's so bad. And there are more of these compilations. They just keep going. I thought the "I dropped out ..." quote was some kind of exaggeration. Nope: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzgJcKmoBvk

"She's been rejected from college because she's too busy having sex"

It's like someone took an old-style afternoon soap opera, mashed it up with a teen drama, a horror movie, and turned the drama up to 11.
