New HBO Show Reignites My Awkward High School Feelings

HBO's been executing a bum rush back into our hearts this fall, first with The Life and Times of Tim, and now, we've got wind of a new show coming November 9th called Summer Heights High. It's shot like a mockumentary, as it follows three different high school personalities navigating the trials and tribulations of social cliques, bullying, stereotyping, profanity, racism, and homophobia in modern day high school. Based on what I've seen, it's a really endearing and humorous account of life in high school in America (although it's based in Australia...so?).

There's Ja’mie King, a junior exchange student with a massive ego and sense of entitlement; Mr. G, a 30-something senior drama teacher with delusions of grandeur; and Jonah Takalua, a middle-school delinquent on the fast track to nowhere. And guess what! They're all played by the same person, writer/creator Chris Lilley. I've embedded a clip for each character below the jump, but first, watch Jonah describe his bathroom grafitti, Dicktation. I'm gonna guess you'll be seeing these in the bathrooms around town come December. Summer Heights High debuts Sunday, Nov. 9th at 10:30pm...meaning HBO's thrown this in their coveted Sunday night slot, so, expect big things.
