the crying Dawson gif Is just such a classic. nobody can duplicate this face.
i literally never knew what that was from up until a few months ago when i first watched this series lmao
Who would ever want to lol
I never thought 3 seconds of someone's misery would bring me eternal laughter.
Dawson's crying is the ugliest bawling I've ever seen!!!
OOF!
@@juanitamorgan5475 the face plus the excessive shoulder shaking
No le veo es chiste a reírse de la expresión de Dawson. Pienso que lo hizo bien.
@@yowaphilemon9985 IKR AHAHAHA
"You want him like I want you, you love him like I love you, the difference is that he loves you back the same way."
So beautiful
That right there told the truth, Dawson may have live Joey, but he didn't love her back the way she loved him. It was quilt because they knew each other so long
@@darneegriffin116 dawson's talking about how joey doesn't love him back the same way not himself not loving her the right way
Then he shouldn't have pushed her away.
What? He only wants her when he can't have her?
Literally makes no sense
It's silly.
I really feel for dawson here but man that crying face is just....... bruh....
He actually was crying too
Was he? Lol...I would totally fake cry that way.
Yeah, but when Jen looks back at him, and he slides to the ground utterly, completely defeated... hell, I felt for the guy.
I really felt and believed his ugly cry. The ugly cry only happens when you feel real pain inside. He pulled the scene off great. Then how he slumped to the floor because his heart was broken. Pure gold man! Pure gold!
thats closer to real life.. when it hurts..but that face! its horrible lol i know.. but we don't show pain like this anymore .. watered down cinema now. bye 90s.. so lovey dubby then. KC JOJO times lol
When he says, "you love him the way I love you" I felt that shit. If you've ever been in a relationship that was unrequited, that shits miserable 🤦🏿♀️
🙋🏾♀Yup. this girl right here...especially when I finally broke down an told him how I felt he never spoke to me again🤦🏾♀.😔...I tried 🤷🏾♀
Ain’t it true….pain.
This
Yeah.. but I can’t stop thinking about the fact that this girl has two guys who love her.. I can’t even find one 😂
I’m sure Joey felt that, too.
And so, a meme was born! The scene MIGHT have been Cringy, but at least it launched a hilarious Internet meme! 😂🤣
The scene wasn't cringe, only the crying face was.
What’s a meme
Yes so funny
Even the actor finds it hilarious
Well!! That's right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Joey, go, before I take it all back” I didn’t expect that to hit me so hard
He’s got to be the worlds ugliest crier
he lose the women he loved, and his best friend. he broken.
if say he just found out his mom died, would you say that.
ps joey and pacey leave, his parent go on there honeymoon, he broken.
That honor goes to Tobey Maguire
That dress is ugly
Have never seen a complete heart broken shattered person cry in a beautiful way so to me it makes this scene more "realistic" despite the fact they talk like grownups playing 16 years olds LOL
Is crying meant to be attractive?
What if she glanced back and looked when he was crying?
Unfortunately it probably wouldn’t have made a difference...and if she stayed it would’ve just been out of pity...eventually she would’ve gone back to Pacey
If she looked back and saw him crying she probably would've fallen over the side of the pier after pissing herself laughing so hard!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@captainsweatpants5229 lmao 😂😂😂😂😂 it’s something I’d do 😂😂😂😂 Damn Katie Holmes was so beautiful 😍😍😍
@@marinatraverso9288 TRUE 'DAT!👍
Pacey cries like a wuss tho
I feel sorry for Dawson here but the crying cracks me every single time 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because hes not crying. Hes pretending. That's because he cant cry
3:02 when dawson leery decided to gift us this memorable meme.
😂
Since the pilot episode you know. That they will always be friends. They share a bond that goes way too beyond any kind of other relationship. They’re almost like family.
Ummmm can’t be true friends when your soulmate marries your best friend
@@fullbodynj7456 Good point.
@@fullbodynj7456 the way I saw it was Joey was Dawson's soulmate but he wasn't hers or she wouldn't have picked Pacey. Pacey was her soulmate. Dawson and Joey loved the idea of being together but it never worked. Sometimes it just isn't meant to be regardless how bad you want it.
@@fullbodynj7456 it can if they're platonic soulmates
@@Bella-Mae0422 that is so true!!!
It's really kind of a shame that this scene has become more famous as a meme of Dawson's crying face, than it has gotten recognition for actually being a really beautiful and heartfelt scene. The scene itself is perhaps one of the most crucial scenes in the entire history of the show, not least when it comes to the character-arcs of Dawson and Joey, but also the overarching story of Dawson's Creek. The acting is, meme-face excluded, phenomenal, and the the pay-off feels logical, earned and satisfying after 3 seasons of coherent build-up. Personally, I will remember this scene for more than the meme it created. This is Dawson's Creek at its peak 👏🙂
Season 3 is probably the best season of the show. Of course it’s famous for the meme face. Ironically I think JVDB really was crying spontaneously haha. Regardless, yes, the scene is famous for Dawson finally relenting and letting Joey go be with the man she loves.
Tell me why I laughed and cried at the same time
Because of the plot and then you saw Dawson's face.
I’m on season 2 and I just feel she was better of as a friend. She seem miserable once they started dating. Sometimes a thought is different then when you make it reality
So true.
Pacey & Joey are just ment to be! She's pretty he's cute, together they're pretty cute👫
I’m on season 2 also!!
do she was very HAPPY when they were dating,
@@graced8626
Yo. They are on season 2. They haven't watched that yet.
From that scene going forward Dawson changes from a romatic teenager to a young adult. Wonderful scene.
This is probably the breaking point in Dawson's character arc and the moment when he gains my utter respect. In a series which is all about growing up and coming of age, this is the moment when Dawson faces and accepts reality. He had been a dreamer and an eternal optimist, and always believed that you could be, get, or have whatever you wanted if you fought hard enough. But this is when he realizes that sometimes you just can't change reality. Joey doesn't love him, she loves Pacey, and it doesn't matter how much he tries to change it, that's not going to change, it's the excruciating truth that he has to accept. And he does. And at this moment, he is not just letting Joey go, he's letting go of all his naive, childish and many times self-centered view of life and the world. It's the key moment, and after this he's finally ready to move on and grow up.
From season 4 onwards he's a very different character, much more calm and thoughtful, but not in the emotional, neurotic overanalytical way he had been up to that point, but in a more sensible and rational manner. In season 4 he leads a more stable relationship with Gretchen and in season 5 with Jen as well. If you compare season 1 Dawson to season 6 Dawson, he's almost unrecognizable.
Moved by your comments. It’s written so well
your comment is amazing. i feel like I know Dawson 10x as more
I wouldn' say that. At this point, Joey still loves Dawson. But she needs to live something with Pacey. The crucial point is speech of Dawson at the wedding. When she hears it, Joey understands that Dawson will always love her. That something will be possible between them after that. And it frees her. She chooses Pacey because she knows Dawson, somehow, will be there for her. On the contrary, if she chooses Dawson, she knows that she will lost Pacey.
I love this analyzes! I wish they would have let the love triangle die after season 3 it would have made for such a richer story arc for Dawson. I think the audience had moved past the will they won’t they of Dawson and Joey. There would have been more of an emotional investment if was solely focused on his personal growth. No more underlying triangle stuff. I agree that he did evolve into more of a mature person after this but I do think he ended up with the short end of the stick when it came to stories after this season.
Perfect analysis.
He let her go at the creek.. how ironic.
He has poked fun at himself in interviews about this face becoming a meme lol he seems down to earth and like a cool guy in real life
U know the whole scene wasn't even that bad...it was that choice to scrunch up the face and sob and then that horrible fade out lmao the director should've told him to just silently watch her leave for the last moment...
Nah. I was a teenager and I watched it when it first aired so I understand the zeitgeist of the era. His acting in this scene was perfect. He’s finally letting go of the girl he has loved pretty much all his life. It was not another “silently watch her leave” moment.
@@crystalrainbow19 exactly. I found myself getting teary-eyed hearing Dawson emotionally power through the words his heart doesn’t want to say, but knows are the truth. Been there done that. Crying isn’t meant to be a beautiful pretty thing. It’s suppose to be a brutal and ugly mess. Plus not to mention it’s a teenage romantic drama. What Dawson does at the end of the clip is perfectly well acted. I’m only on Season 4 right now and the acting on this show is great. My only beef I have is the cartoonish start the third season had and the Shakespearean way the teenagers talk to each other. I think that’s the charm of the show though and admittedly is getting the best of my romantic side lol
@@Bluemgwes That's the perfect response. I agree totally.
@@crystalrainbow19 so you like bad acting. K
@@theitfactorjameswheezer2852 If you think it's "Bad" acting, you've obviously never felt like you had your heart ripped out of your chest because the person you love, left you.
It could be argued that the face went a bit too far with the scrunch, (However, not knowing JVDB, who's to really say... we don't all cry the same and I'm sure we don't all do the climax face the same... Sorry for going there folks, but I'm trying to make a point about facial expressions that can get silly, cringy, etc.) but the idea itself was spot on. (I NEVER did appreciate that meme, I've always felt that it was too personal an attack on JVDB to be funny.)
im sorry but i burst out laughing when he started to cry💀💀
Dawson and Joey were better off as friends. I think they were friends for too long to make things work.
Yeh
@@carolgeorge494 Yes sometimes when you are friends for too long and cross over into that lover category it can be akward
Always thought the same thing. Everyone seemed to want them to end up together. I think I even wanted that because they were best friends from the very beginning, looking back on it now, my thought process has changed. I think the writers did the right thing with having her end up with pacey
@@jillianmicheleg.4084 I think so too looking back and rewatching they were better for each other. You really do see things different rewatching years later.
@@SpinDoctor91 exactly! I really saw the chemistry between Joey and pacey that i think I tried to ignore when I was younger. I also wasn’t crazy about Dawson’s character watching it back now. He was exactly like Joey described him. He’d have hissy fits when he didn’t get his way and if someone did something that wasn’t according to his “standards” he shut them down or said rude remarks. He did it with Jen and then Joey multiple times. Not saying pacey was perfect but in the long run, pacey loved Joey in a no strings attached and unconditional way.
"Pacey is this years paris" is THE truest words daswon have ever spoke to joey.
Also went adds on to say it's a colossal mistake.
@@sunilkumarverma2093 It was considering what happens at the prom in season 4 😅🤣🤣
The pain melted his face 😩🤣
This scene desperately lacks the usual near-infinite number of Joey shrugs contained in all previous scenes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have been there done that too. I have cried many times, mostly in private. I loved this show so much. Dawson's acting was great here. He showed so much hurt. Letting someone go is the hardest thing a man or woman can do.
"Joey, you can't put two hot dogs in one bun, and if you do, you'll never be ok with just one hot dog in the bun ever again. You gotta figure out which dog is the right one for your bun. I cry now the sad tears"
😅😅😂
Run Joey run to the best part of this series-the dock scene is epic!!
One of the right things Dawson did. Dawson was always a good friend to Joey. He was a never good boyfriend. One of the best thing he realize even if u still love someone much u had to let them go. Even if he hated it he knew how Joey and Pacey feels about each other.
No he was a good boyfreind, joey problem was she took think the wrong way,
@@az21bob666 He never was. He try so hard to make everything too perfect. Trying to live in his own fantasy world and not make it into a reality. He was too cocky, selfish and insensitive. Never a good boyfriend to either joey or Jen.
The problem is one of that is true both jen and Joey said he was a great boyfriend.
He was never cocky
And now was he selfish. He give up everything for Joey.
He even told her to go to pacey when she said she would have stayed. I mean a summer with no Pacey there a good chance she would have feel back in love with Dawson but he give that up for her
Pacey was like ask me to stay or I am leaving for the summer.
@@ahceda09 Joey was also a bad girlfriend
He was a good bf to Jen in s5
That was a hard scene to shoot
“I should have made you go.” That’s exactly right.
Turned homeboy into a meme lol now that's cold 🥶😹😹😹
his face makes me laugh so hard
For some odd ball reason something told me to watch this clip out of nowhere.
God I haven’t had a laugh like that in years! I’m honored to have seen this.
I was all for Dawson's, and Joey's relationship at first.. However when Pacey came into the picture I saw a different side to Dawson that I did not like.. He started to try to control, and even to bully Joey in order to try and stop her from dating Pacey.. After that I was hoping that Joey would finally stand up to him,and put him in his place and when she left with Pacey I was elated..
me too!!
again that wrong, he was fighting for her, same as pacey, she SAID i cant choce, and i felt a spark for you, it not like said i dont want you. EVEN here he told her to go and she said WHAT IF I WANT TO STAY. so no he never tried to control her that was more pacey.
I agree. After that I hated him. Typical rich boy that thinks he can have everything. It’s all about him and his feelings.
it not even close to being true, it just there a huge double stardard with dawson, dawson hurt his mom cheating on his dad, that means they could break up, him mom could leave the state and she does, and joey like well you have mom, bitch.
or pacey complaining that he might not pass highschool, it 100 percent his fault becosue he did not do the work, everyone there for him, joey hugging him as he close to crying, dawson dealing with the DEATH of his freind and if he should pull the plug, and no one give a crap,
pacey broke up with joey and gratchen break up wth dawson BUT we see dawson trying to make joey feel better you dont see joey trying to make dawson feel better.
@@az21bob666 Yes he did try to control her. Its not up for argument. its literally a fact. Watch the show again.
Hahah his crying face went on to be epic with memes
I’ll never forget how this made me feel
I'm glad james van der beek is a good guy in real life. Feel bad for some of the misery that came before him like his wife's miscarriage. Heartbreaking
THANK YOU FOR HONESTY!!! This was never an Ungly cry. It was an unfortunate realization of something new. A new Love towards a Best friend and the thought of loosing it. To me it was frightening of what could happen.
decades later and its still funny
I don't understand why everyone on TikTok hate Dawson, just watch this! He really wants Joey to be happy even when he wants to be with her, he looks after her happiness, this was so selfless!
it was more so before this. this scene is really the starting point of growth for him.
He did say “I could tell you you’re making a colossal mistake and that all roads lead back here” which is a dick move to make her feel like Pacey is a road block in their soulmate love story.
I know the scene at the very end that spawned the meme gets all the attention, but honestly this is a really well acted scene by both of them. I would say personally for me, easily in the top 5-6 scenes in the series between their characters.
This guy is badass: he's grown up. Many people keep bullshitting about how Joey should with this or that, just like how they wish their first love SHOULD have worked.
Even though as painful as it was letting Joey go Dawson he did the right thing by letting Joey go it would be selfish to hold someone against there will I felt bad for Dawson but Joey wanted Pacey and she deserves that indeed what a heartbreaking scene.😔
The best seconds in TV history: 3:02 - 3:05
That crying face is classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dawson and Joey ended the day Dawson told Joey to tell the police on her father and wear a wire.
Thats exactly what I thought when I finished watching that episode, and we were right!
that was dawsons black and white mentality smh
well since dawson had to RUN deeper into a fire to save joey dad, and since if joey did not tell, either her father would be killed, joey would be killed, or he would have gone to prison for life.
he did the right thing, even her father said he did the right thing.
Dawson himself told Joey that he did so at the cost of losing her. He did the right thing. Dawson and Joey ended because the writers wanted a different endgame. There were many touching moments in DC, esp season 4(yeah right), between Joey and Dawson that kind of signaled that they could be endgame. Had the show continued with the same vein, we would have witnessed something very different.
no the head writer said he put joey with pacey becouse he had nothing else,
Who tf did not speak up in the editing room about that face? Why? This ur fault, b
lmao
Who cares, those editors must of foreseen a hilarious meme.
@@Lionheart1188 yeah they were like fuck my career i need this meme
Unlike popular opinion, I felt really bad for Dawson here. I felt his pain when he cried.
I am a published philosopher and writer, and I have always felt Dawsons Creek has surprisingly strong writing. Yes, its a teen drama from the 90s, but the references, cross references, interpersonal relationships, and independent worlds of each character - really impressive
Well Dawson Creek had the kind of dialogue someone would come up with after 30 years of therapy. Which was mostly geared towards articulating what teenagers felt.
Yes! It has seriously aged so well.
I can't believe people are still watching this 🥰 like I am! I remember watching this in HS and being so hooked on it!
Dawson's creek will always bring back memories and is still good TV to this day!
Dawson second cry at his father's death was very touching and moving
3:00 I hope karma don’t come back at me in life after laughing this hard at Dawson
Vincent bryan- karma is cause an effect so everyone writing trash online will receive the karma of an unfulfilled life wasted online 🤷🏻♀️
That’ll be your resting face in your next life.
I just finished the series a few weeks ago but that meme was always at the back of my mind lol. I just never knew where it was from.
So while Dawson was getting his heart broken, i was busy too getting excited about the freaking meme to feel for the dude 🤣🤣
Just finished the 6 Seasons and after that I've been watching all their past interviews and stalking their IG accounts 😘 I'm so really into their stories
Haahaaaaa! I always see that meme/GIF of Dawson crying so i came here to get context. This is sooo funny 🤣🤣🤣🍿
It's funny but every time my female friends watch this scene they are like "aww that was nice of him to do this so she could be with her real love" while the guy friends are like "Dawson tell her to f*** off".
my problem with joey is she was a shity freind, she never there when he need her.
I always liked that in this moment of growth for Dawson he all acknowledged that what Pacey and Joey had was real. He acknowledged that Pacey too could love her just as much as he did. Although I definitely understand Dawson feeling betrayed, the way he treated Pacey everytime he tried to grow always made me mad. He always wanted to keep Pacey in his shadow and the thing is that he couldn't especially when Joey fell for him. Joey saw what Dawson had always saw in Pacey, a true friend, a person with the potential to be great. God this show was great. Of course it had a lot of flaws, and Im not gonna lie, Dawson as the center character never made sense to me, everyone else was more interesting than him. But it was a great show regardless.
Correct!!! The more I watched this show the more I disliked Dawson. The selfishness, the attitude, he had ambition and his sweetness, I liked his old school values towards marriage and whatnot, but he was too selfish.
@@midnyteblues The problem is he was not selfish he GIVE AND give, he give to much of himself, when was he selfish.
@@az21bob666 Dawson barely gave anything other than being a human being and breaking up with someone. He’s given 8 things in 6 seasons.
are you crazy, not counting the money for both college and art class, not counting allwasy being there for joey, everytime she need him dawson was there, advance for both jack and pacey and her teacher, what must of have been hard for her, he was willing to give her op, and never took advance of her.
So i dont get were you thing he did not a lot for her.
@@az21bob666 He was selfish with his parents, never taking into account what they were going through. Couldn’t come to grips with not being compatible romantically with Joey ultimately and not wanting her to be with anyone else. He grew up in Season 4 slot with Gretchen, but the first few seasons he was totally selfish in some ways. I won’t be responding any further. Goodbye.
3:02 the reason why we're all here.
Thank you
The most interesting thing is Dawson woke up to the fact that he is no longer the towering romantic hero in his own story but was indeed the villain. Letting Joey go and conceding defeat was Dawson doing what he had to do so that Joey could look him in the eye again with a straight face.
Luv this😍😍😍
It took a lot of courage and maturate to do that. He had a lot of heart 💖 and he really cared about her. That must've been very hard.
Thank you for helping create one of the greatest gifs of all time 🤣🤣🤣
In the 90': you felt sad when you saw him cry
Today: you laugh
Everything has changed
I know that Dawson wasn't perfect, but it annoys me how most people are hating on Dawson as if he's the only one with flaws in the show. No one can tell me Joey is perfect, why is everyone mostly hating on Dawson? Let's not forget Joey cheated on Dawson when they were together with Jack and she was always mean to Jen for absolutely no valid reason. Why is no one talking about that? This is just an example of other things she did wrong. Pacey dated his "Bestfriends" ex/ best friend for weeks behind his back. Jack kissed Joey even though he knew she was dating Dawson. Andie cheated on Pacey. Jen tried to break Dawson and Joey up by seducing Dawson because she wanted him back and Abby Morgan suggested it to her. My point is all the characters have their flaws, stop being a hypocrite by coming for only Dawson. Most comments I see about Dawson's creek are one sided. Tbh, Dawson would have been better off if Joey never confessed her feelings to him. When she confessed her feelings for him, it ruined everything (friendships, etc.). Also, most people in the comment section are like "Dawson is selfish and held Joey back", but they forget that whenever Joey broke up with Dawson and he tried to move on, she always held him back. I do agree that Joey grew when she was with Pacey. On the other hand, she was always complaining about finding herself when she was with Dawson. Everyone is like "Dawson needs to stop whining about Pacey and Joey's Relationship, bla, bla, bla...". People also say that Dawson only sees things in black and white. While that might be true sometimes, everyone saying Dawson should not have reacted the way he did when he found out Pacey and Joey were seeing each other without telling him should put themselves in his shoes. How would you feel if your best friend started seeing your ex/ other best friend behind your back? Would you react in such a nice, calm way? I don't think so because most people wouldn't. Let's be honest, no one knows how they would react in that situation until they have experienced it. Therefore, save your comments and think about what you guys are saying. Everything is not so black and white in this show like some people make it out to be. To most people, Dawson is the villain. Why is that? He's not the only flawed character.
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT COMMENT AND TELL ME I'M SAYING THIS BECAUSE I'M A DAWSON FAN OR I SHIP HIM AND JOEY. I'm simply tired of everyone coming for Dawson and blaming him for everything, it's so repetitive and annoying. Joey and Dawson's dating ruined how I feel about Joey AND Pacey's relationship. I would have preferred they never dated because now the whole show is ruined for me and I feel weird about J and P's relationship even though I was in support of them confessing their love for each other.
Just rewatching and I agree with you. As much as Dawson has his flaws. Joey isn’t without hers. Being constantly bitchy to Jen, loving Dawson, needing to find herself apart from Dawson on her own. She should have just left Dawson well alone with Jen. As neurotic, annoying and self-absorbed Dawson is, I feel bad for him too and he doesn’t deserve all the hate. None of them are perfect.
a few things that people for get, a week or to again dawson find that pacey and jen are haveing a sex deal, and pacey breaking into dawson room to sleep with jen, dawson ask pacey about joey and pacey like nope nothing going on, THEN again less then a few week later when he think he getting back with joey, he find out pacey dateing joey in secret.
BUT they act like the bad guy.
i mean pacey was a jealous jackass anytime joey spend time with dawson, how do you thing he would have acted if joey broke up with him and then a few weeks in secret was dating dawson.
at least when dawson dated pacey sister he told him to his face like man.
@@cynthiaatufu4127 I think at the beginning of the show Dawson embodies the 'nice guy' trope and while it's one of my most hated trope he means well most times. Joey was always at fault for the breakdown of their romance and her bitchy attitude towards Jen because of her traditional feminine nature(which attracted Dawson) is an aspect I'm mad the show never addressed properly. I do think it's because Dawson was perceived as the hero at the time of airing that people are retroactively blowing his flaws out of proportion and almost erasing everyone else's
@@favour3734 yeah I keep thinking God, he’s like one of the most annoying protagonists ever. I like all the characters but I also recognise where they fall short. Dawson is a nice guy most times except when he is angry at you or feels slighted by you then wow watch out for his mean streak cos his words wound. The way he would always put down Pacey was the worst. I still stand by the fact that Joey’s behaviour towards Jen was so inappropriate and bitchy however she was redeemed later on when she fell out of love with Dawson I think. Pacey always annoyed me with his insecurities whether it be about Dawson and Joey or about his future and placing all that blame on Joey when they broke up. However in the end I think they just tried to show the characters are all human beings with flaws, none are perfect. Dawson is this perfect son but mostly selfish, Pacey is the perfect friend and boyfriend but so riddled with insecurities that makes him self-sabotage. Then Joey the perfect student and sometimes perfect friend when she doesn’t feel intimidated by you. Unfortunately her character is the one I didn’t really like at first. But now into season 5 and I can see she’s grown up so that’s okay. I really felt for Jen all the time she was sad, she just kept getting forgotten by her so called friends until Jack I think (save for that period in college). Anyway it’s interesting rewatching something, you just pick up on so many stuff you might have missed out before. Btw, I loved Joey and Pacey together. I like them together.
@@az21bob666 I see your point like I said they all had their flaws. I felt for Dawson while he lost Joey but I also recognised how selfish, manipulative and mean he could be sometimes. However his character was redeemed from season 4, he became more thoughtful and calm. He stopped placing all these expectations on things and people I think.
The Joey and Pacey relationship would always be the hardest thing to reveal to Dawson. I mean how do you do that knowing the kind of person Dawson was and therefore his reaction. How do you hurt your friend? It’s a hard one especially as they both didn’t plan the relationship, it just happened. It was hard.
Gretchen and Dawson, not so hard. Plus we all saw that coming even Pacey which is why he was trying to get Gretchen back with her ex on that trip they took together.

That created on of the greatest memes ever.
It's even funnier after Mitch dies and Dawson is in his car crying. I laughed so hard.
Same we are bad people
@@joudalharbi9985 Nah the acting is so bad. It's hilarious.

@@joudalharbi9985 Wouldn"t you love to see Dawson's Creek get rebooted ?
@@drunkviggo7263 I’m not sure it wouldn’t be the same without Jen
For most of us it was the meme that brought us here, but for a few of us, it was the accurate reflection of having been in Dawson Leery’s shoes that made us see ourselves. I experienced a version of this around 17 in the mid 90’s so when this aired a few years later, I felt it. Dawson wasn’t always a likeable protagonist and Kevin Williamson’s lofty dialogue didn’t help that, but even years later, it’s a tough watch if you’ve ever been in that scenario .
Dawson was right to let her go. He knew that she loved Pacey in a way that she didn’t love him. He had to let her go. Very mature move for a high school kid.
But also heartbreaking for him.
Which made him do the ugly cry. Heartbreak = Ugly Crying.
I agree !! Dawson can be a lot of things but this one of his greatest moments ♥️♥️
Yes but the crying was so fake, it makes everyone laugh. We cant help it
@@LukeLovesRose yes. Horrible crying 😂
I can’t help but laugh even thought this is a beautiful scene. Anyway at that age ppl change their minds so quickly, I can’t really take them too seriously 😂
And this is where the meme came from!
Ok I’m sorry but Dawson crying is one the funniest thing ever it’s to funny!!!!!!
That's because hes not actually crying. Hes pretending and badly at that
This is one of my favorite GIF’s of all time lol
It's in good quality you guyssss
Possibly the only half decent thing Dawson ever did...
all dawson did was decent thinks, like running deeper into a fire to save joey dad, saveing pacey life, paying for joey art class, paying for joey college, being there everytime she need him.
@@az21bob666 Notice how you only mentioned 8 things out of 6 seasons and 23 45 minute episodes. Half of the time he was there for her was just him pushing his own mentality and criticizing her.
The problem is that he never criticizing, he has told her when disagree with her, but that about it.
and what do you want every time he listen to her complain, every nice thing he did, every time he made her smile, i was only talking about the bigger things.
@@az21bob666 He was ALWAYS criticizing her. There is no issue with disagreement but the moment you don’t do what Dawson wants he gets pissy and passive aggressive. Always spitting out micro aggressions. The bigger things are outweighed by the bad.
THE problem is he does not do that, show me were he critizizing her, becouse it does not happen.
and micro aggression, so he make a face, since you or eye cant know what a face mean, it does not count.
that crying face at ... 3... 2... 1 ... 3:02 ... i think he beat Kim K with that crying face tho... lmao
Although this scene is comical when he said “they’re just words” it’s so true
There it is. The whimper that unleashed a thousand memes.
The internet made an emotional scene into a funny scene!!
He wasn't his owner to let her go but I know what you mean by that. My favorite episode 😃 #truelove
he staying he still be there if she pick pacey, it not different then pacey saying ask me to stay or i am going to leave for the summer.
Reminds me of Moody's point on the Amanda show where Moody's crush gifts her a balloon for her birthday not knowing her mom flew away on a hot air balloon. So she runs away crying lmfao!
Best meme ever!
The only reason Joey isn't with pacey in the scene Is because She doesn't want ruin her friendship with Dawson. Dawson, instead, realizes that in order to be her true Friend, before lover, has to let her Be Happy.
On the one hand, I regret writers had never given a chance to Dawson and Joey to live a love relationship from a beginning season to a finale season (just like Joey and Pacey or Dawson and Gretchen). On the other hand, I like this out of time waltz between them. This constantly lag. When Joey wants Dawson, he dates Jen. When Dawson is ready for her, she's not ready anymore. When they fall in love again, a tragedy separates them. When Joey overcomes her suffering, Dawson didn't believe in their reunion. And when Dawson thinks time is came, she falls in love with Pacey. When the two are free again, Dawson thinks they must walk on their own way. And when they're ok to walk on the same way, Mitch's death destroys everything, and Dawson and Jen fall in love again. The right time was when they had their first night together, but no, it wasn't lol. There is something beautiful in this eternal shift. But I profondly regret one thing : the writers have never worked again on the funny complicity there was between them in season 1. In this season, they laugh, they disput like children, they are very tactile, they debate all the time with smile. After they date together, this airiness has disappead. The only moments where they find this airiness again, it's in season 4, after Brooks death, when they walk around in Capeside, and some too rare moments in college.
You didn't let anything out lol nicely done!!!
Thank God someone mentions this. The writers never gave them a chance, all their breakups and not getting back together felt forced. They had to force conflicts and it never came naturally
The Pacey and Joey breakup felt organic, I could see it coming from a mile away. The characters were heading in that direction without the interference of the writers.
People say Dawson and Joey were toxic and they didn’t work, but that’s only because the writers never wanted them to be together. When you actually analyze their characters, there is *nothing* that makes them incompatible. Whereas with Pacey and Joey I could make a detailed essay on why both of their flaws doomed their relationship from the beginning, I think it’s them who were incompatible
This was one of if not the very first crying meme!
I remember watching this on tv and his crying just threw me off 😂
I understand it now, Dawson lost his shit in the creek. The title spoils so much.
😄😄😄
Dawson became much less insufferable after Season 3
Once he cut his hair his character was better
@Er J omg remember when he was dying to find out if joey had slept with pacey? Lmaoo💀 i remember when joey told him in the first ep of s4 that basically everyone asks her if she had sex with pacey except dawson and he told her "i am the only person the answer could potentially kill" LMAO PLEASE DAWSON
she brought him up, and he was being honest IT would hurt him.
and how many time did joey ask dawson about HIS sex life so dont be haveing a double standard now.
The still for this video is 🔥
That cry face is…spectacular
Oh I really need to watch this show again. To see if my dislike for Dawson is as warranted as I think it is.
It definitely is. Especially in the first four seasons.
@@tianam.964 that's what it seems like. I was 11 - 16 while the show aired and I remember reaaaally disliking Dawson. Towards the end i think I didn't watch as religiously. But anyway, this scene rubs me the wrong way. Like you're not my man and you're giving me permission to be with who I want, and I gotta hurry up and leave before you change your mind? Oh okay.
@@jeeither Yeah I caught that too. "Go before I take it all back." GTFOH. I was also annoyed with Joey for taking that crap for so long. I get that he was her best friend for a long time but he was constantly using that to manipulate her. I'm so glad she didn't end up with him, it would have been such a bad message.
@@tianam.964 exactly. It really seemed like all he cared about was himself. He was like the star of his own movie in his head and everyone served to his whims. I'm glad she ended up with Pacey too, that was my bae back in the day.
Oh it it is, especially in season 1, him and Joey both were super annoying and immature, not to mention sanctimonious. I don't understand how either of them dealt with each another long enough to even be friends much less in a relationship!
Dawson’s Creek has got to be the most cringe worthy show I’ve ever seen. But I love it in every way. This show would not do well in today’s culture but my god does this show bring back memories
That's what I love about the 90s, people could be cheesy and it was all good/gravy!
@Travis Werner someone’s not a happy camper clearly you can’t read. I love it , but this generation will simply say its cringe worthy. Cmon , you mean to tell me your best friend on the first episode who sleeps In your bed for 10 yrs who’s a girl isn’t out of touch with today’s time . Or the fact the script of the show is so complex yet they’re only supposed to be 15 starting off ? It’s unrealistic but it’s great 😊
Dawson's creek is about underage sex. That's all it's about.
Teenagers go through horrible shit ... not all but most do traumatic
Thanks for this comment. It’s now on Netflix and I was contemplating watching it, given that I missed it when it first came out. But most teen dramas from the 2000s haven’t aged well, and going by your comment, it seems to be the case here too. I used to love The OC when it came out. I tried watching it now, and barring Adam Brody’s histrionics, it bored me to death.
Great show wish there was more seasons than 6
I think it should have ended after season 4
Story of my life... these episodes were very tough!😞
Powerful scene, strange commentsection.
There's a theory that we have more then one type of soulmate. The theory is we have a significant other soulmate and a best friend soulmate. I believe that Joey and dawson are best friends soul mates, always were, but I havnt finish the show yet.
True. There are also karmic soulmates. So you think they're your real soulmate. They destroy you. And ten years later, you feel nothing for them, with God's grace.
And people have a theory that we've reincarnated so many times that most people are our soulmates anyway
ICONIC
This show was the most unrealistic show ever, over dramatic, teens don’t talk like that, teens don’t even look like that, but it was my childhood show and it holds so many good memories of the 90s for me.
