    If you haven't watched Netflix's Heartstopper yet, I implore you to check it out right now. It's absurdly sweet.

    Based on Alice Oseman's webcomic of the same name, Heartstopper tells the coming-of-age story of a group of high school friends — many of whom happen to be queer. If high school drama isn't up your alley, that's perfectly fine, because this show has very little of it and instead focuses on friendships and first loves.

    These are just a few moments from the show that I found way funnier than I ought to.

    1. When Tori had these reassuring words for her brother, Charlie

    Charlie stands in the kitchen and says, "I broke up with my boyfriend." Tori asks, "Was he a knob?" to which Charlie replies, "Yes." Tori raises her eyebrows and says, "Well done, then."
    Netflix

    Jenny Walser delivers every single one of her lines perfectly.

    2. When Olivia Colman showed up as Nick's mum

    Sarah sits in the driver's side of the car and says, "Nick?" while Nick looks on and asks, "What?"
    Netflix

    For context, I had no idea Olivia Colman was in this show, so when she just appeared out of the blue, I literally burst out laughing. A true gay icon!

    3. This monogrammed mug

    Nick tapes a sip out of his mug with the letter N on it

    I know the N stands for "Nick," but I’m sure the prop people also wanted you to think "Netflix."

    4. This questionable question mark

    A screenshot of someone googling, "am i gay?" with the results "am i gay quiz" and "am i gay buzzfeed" popping up below
    Netflix

    Does anyone actually conclude their Google search like this? Also, shoutout to BuzzFeed.

    5. This gay keyboard smash

    Charlie sits in bed with his phone and tests, "Nick invited me to Harry's party! I'M SCREAMING" and then a big keyboard smash
    Netflix

    AJDBSJSBSISBFC. Enough said.

    6. These birthday buttons

    Charlie wears a big number 15 button his shirt
    Netflix

    Is this something teenagers actually do in the UK? Am I just out of the loop? So many questions.

    7. When Nick showed up at Charlie's door soaking wet

    Nick stands in the doorway, soaking wet and says, "Hi."
    Netflix

    Let the poor guy in, Charlie!

    8. When Nick’s mum asked him if he liked Imogen

    Sarah says, "Oh, do you like this girl?" and Nick replies, "Well, um...her dog died." Sarah's eyes widen.
    Netflix

    Poor Imogen. 😢

    9. This compliment

    Charlie touches Nick's arm and says, "You have strong rugby arms"
    Netflix

    This sounds like it should be a line from Twilight.

    10. When the gays plotted to get Elle and Tao together

    Nick texts, "So now it's a triple date." Darcy replies, "We are such meddling gays and I love it," while Charlie says, "And Tao and Elle don't know it's a date at all..."
    Netflix

    And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling gays! Seriously though, can we get a Scooby-Doo remake featuring this cast, including the dog that plays Nellie as the titular character? I never knew I needed this, but now it's the only thing I want.

    11. When Tara and Darcy’s makeout session got interrupted

    Tara and Darcy make out when Nick enters and says, "Tara!" Darcy replies, "Homophobia."
    Netflix

    What Darcy said.

    12. The fact that Charlie’s dad is never seen outside of his car

    Julio says, "Pickup at 10:00, okay?" and Charlie replies, "Yep" as they sit in the car together
    Netflix

    He's just the family taxi service, apparently.

    13. When Elle said what we were all thinking

    Elle says, "I forgot he can run really fast."
    Netflix

    Some of us needed a little reminder.

    14. And finally, when Nick thought his mum might not know about bisexuality

    Nick looks at his mum and says, "It's called bisexuality. If you've heard of that?" and she replies, "I have heard of that. I wasn't born in the 18th century."
    Netflix

    Oh, Nick Nelson, you adorable baby bisexual.

    So while I wait for a second season to hopefully be announced, go watch Heartstopper on Netflix!
