Buddy was supposed to be a recurring character. It's a shame that this was his only appearance. Joseph Gordon-Levitt really wanted to do more episodes and is very proud of this one.
It's almost as if the show's producers realized what the rest of us immediately saw, that Buddy was such an instantly likable character, and Gordon-Levitt such a great actor, that he would have ended up stealing the spotlight from the rest of the cast. That 70's Show could quickly have turned into The Buddy Show, which would have been difficult for the writers and their original plans. Instead at least, we got a brief but truly memorable guest appearance. 🤷♂️
I like that when Eric talked to buddy later, he was asking why he liked him, not only because he's "curious about the brain work of a homosexual" but he was legitimately curious as to why more than one person would like him😢
Lmao it's not that deep. He was just curious. It's not like he was bullied or an outsider or anything. There have been more beautiful girls other than Donna that were interested in him.
The saddest fact for me is that Buddy treated Eric with way more respect than Donna ever did. He wasn't afraid of Buddy and didn't need to watch every Word he said.
@@shabnamarshad5702 Crazy how much times changed since the 00s. Since 2010 and 11 with lady gaga born this way era things began more accepting. Just think in 2030 same sexed couples would go out on dates and kiss without wierd looks.
The delivery was really funny because it just conveyed perfectly that he was used to denying being gay so much it was like a reflex, but then realized in real time that he wasn't going to be able to come up with an excuse for kissing Eric so nothing to do but just admit it.
@@luxitos2867 Not true. Eric was ALWAYS written to be with Donna. Since before the show even started. The writers even discussed this. There was no homophobia because they never intended on making his character bi in the first place.
Eric was totally adorable geeking out over that car. And it's impossible not to smile at the friendship montage. Truly this was a pure T7S moment (and made even better by Hedberg). They should have kept Buddy in for a season or two after this. The chemistry Topher & JGL had was too good to waste.
This relationship is one of the biggest missed opportunities EVER. They have off the charts chemistry, and they are seem to have very positive effects on each other. Way better than eric and donna I’ll say that..
In this skit, sure. But that's just called _good acting in short skits [scenes]._ It's fairly easy to be this way in short scenes, especially when everyone around you is vying for some kind of laughs. You could be right, but we'd need to see those 2 in a longer, more serious scenes. But, I do tend to agree with you for the most part. One thing for sure, the gay communities loved these two back then (for obvious reasons).
@@howtubeableuhh.. he was bi tho lol.. why is it so hard to accept the fact they'd be good together, just because they're both guys, I'm soo damn sure these ppl in the comments would totally support the ship if it was abt a girl and a guy, but homosexuals are always the wrong ones, like always, just bc of that bible (which was manipulated and altered multiple times throughout centuries to manipulate the masses *aka society*) but ya it's kinda funny seeing these alienated people acting like that, I feel bad for them...😵💫

Indeed. It wasnt the ship we needed but the one we deserved. Their relationship had so much potential they had good chemistry and I think that when Eric was rollerblading and everyone was joking about it and made him stop he wasn't happy I think buddy would have supported him.

like all the other comments say, we were so robbed of this relationship. even if they didn't get together or have an on/off thing it would've been so good to have buddy in a bulkier part of the show. to have a very shameless and friendly character interact with a character like eric should've been a building dynamic.
You left out the important part. To these days many would end a friendship instantly, left the gay friend hurt maybe even humiliated. So I like that they stay friends in such an easy way.
4:45 - “You’re so cute ☺️” Buddy.. is so sweet. If there were more positive portrayals of gay guys when I was growing up, I would’ve come out a lot sooner. Everyone now is hyper-sexualized and Ryan Murphy’d. Heart Stopper is the only pop-cultural thing I can think of where the gay people aren’t suffering/drug-addicted/sexualized humans.
I was going to tell you to get on Heartstopper, but I see u already found it. I agree that it seems to be the only wholesome and rich mlm couple on tv. Can’t wait for season 2! ❤
@@butterflypooo why do y’all ignore the sexualization of straight ppl in media? So much focus on gays when most of it is happening to the straight characters
The end is probably my fav scene in the whole show. It’s exactly the kind conversation I’ve fantasized about having with all my straight crushes (there have been a few) my whole life. Honestly, it makes me cry a little getting to see it lol
I got to have an emotional breakdown moment with mine and he was understanding and wish he felt the same way and heard me out and looking back on it: I am really appreciative to him and even though he couldn’t feel the same way, I still only want him to be happy so things will get better moving forward. 😊
I never knew this existed! I feel robbed because I used to watch this show a lot as a kid (and I already had a crush on Eric, but now Eric and Buddy!? Yes please!) (For reference I'm a bi male)
Well we didn’t get it back then but if you have Netflix, you have to watch Heartstopper! Gave me the best bi love story I’ve ever seen! The show absolutely WRECKED me! 🥹😭💕🍂
Idk if I'm the only one who's noticed this, but from like 1995 through 2005, there was this subtle uprise of gay representation in mainstream media in Hollywood. It wasn't much, but it was there, and I think it paved the way for the representation we see in mainstream media today. They were quite brave for doing that in a time when the world wasn't as accepting. I must commend them for that. ❤️
And it wasn't just gay rep either. There was also a very small influx of Interracial couples on tv. Especially black girl/white boy couples. I think we owe 1995-2005 Hollywood thanks for setting up the foundation for today's representation in media.
They have a chance to bring him back in That 90s Show and finally use him. Levitt was recently in Project Power for Netflix, so I’m sure he would do something for the service again. I’d love to see Buddy representing and reacting to the transitional period of gay culture between the 90s and early 2000s, coming off the AIDS epidemic, the concept of not being allowed to join the military, And maybe how Red Foreman would criticize a person like this for it, allowing him to grow and change his viewpoint. There’s many directions this character could’ve gone, and I hope there’s still a chance to see them through.
He was talking about playing a part and I completely understand that, I convinced myself to flirt with a guy and I would tell my mom updates and everything. It felt like I was playing a part in some highschool movie and I never was being myself, when he started to hint that he wanted to ask me out though I got uncomfortable and unfairly started to ghost him.

Buddy should've stuck around, he could've become a very close friend of Eric and helped him sort his shit with Donna, while finding love of his own some time down the line

Buddy should've stuck around, he could've become a very close friend of Eric and helped him sort his shit with Donna, while finding love of his own some time down the line
3:59 😂 I love his confidence though in thinking that if buddy is gay why wouldn’t he throw himself to someone as hot as him.
they woulda been so good 😊
I'd kiss Topher Grace as Eric any day. Teenage crush right there.
"sometimes I can just be downright mean" **flashes back to spiderman 3**
2:20 the lighting on this shot is insanely good lol.
"SEE I CAN'T TALK TO YOU!" LMAO 🤣
