Say what you want about Lena but she captured the warm chaos of being early to mid 20’s in this city and the way you lean on friends when you need it most. It’s a beautiful scene
I can't even express how moving this scene is to me. Sometimes it's either sob uncontrollably, or turn on "your" song and just dance around the room. I've been there so many times. I just absolutely adore this.

@@sallysmith7242 As someone whose most favorite shows are along the lines of Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and Fargo, I would attest to the argument that as many cringe-worthy and preposterous moments that Girls offered, it left behind a few moments of all-time greats such as this one. It was made more impactful because you couldn't see it coming; Dunham's that kind of a bipolar creator. I came to this video after seeing that Robin's Body Talk album containing this song was listed on Rolling Stone's Best Albums of the 2010s, and it's been as long as this episodes's aired the first time since I watched this clip. And I swear not this got me holding my breath more that I was expecting.
Lena Dunham is pretty damn talented, I honestly think it's hard to dispute that this scene is NOT Art. It's sad, yet so so inspiring, so well conceived and put together. I think that woman is a very talented, writer, director, actress. I came pretty close to having a friend that I could dork around like this without shame, it happens very rarely in this life.
Makes me miss living in my 20's in new york city with my friends just loving life and comming home to my friends just doing stupid shit!! Ahhh miss those days
Thank you I was clueless after this clip cause I couldn't place the context with the scene. I def got that 80s vibe of let's dance our cares away for now I'm so glad to have you riding for me. Just couldn't see how it was widely considered the best/most fav scene of the series. Being not a fan (can't u tell?) had curiosity peaked plus no HBO lol
I couldn't get over the genius of this scene. They captured so many emotions (yes, girls do feel a wide range of emotions at once) into a stupid dance sequence that was too familiar to my life to not (almost) cry. I can't tell you how many times I have been at my wit's end just to turn on Robyn or the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and dance my feelings out.
I don't know what it is about this scene. The whole series is awesome and it has very good ones but for some reason, if I was asked to pick a favorite, it'd be these 3mins. I love it.
Yeah. I guess you're right. But I also think if they weren't mean to each other all the time, we wouldn't appreciate these kind of scenes as much. It was well done. Everything fits perfectly: their acting, the music, the placement...
This show does a great job of capturing what it feels like to sing along, dance along to music better than any other. The Wonderwall scene, this one.. there have been loads. x
I thought you were going to say being twenty something trying to make in a world where you've been taught your special your entire life and them come to find out you and everyone else have that in common.
Many people say they don't know what it is with this scene that makes them love it. Let me tell you. It's the face Hannah makes when sees Marnie. It's like she's screaming loudly at a concert but she's all quiet. That's so god damn real and I haven't seen it on cinema ever before
this has got to my single one most favorite "GIRLS" scene. the power of girfriends. close second: when jessa pushes that top less girl out of the fucking way at that party
The exact moment you fall in love with this show and realize this is something special. I don’t think I’ll ever match the feeling of watching this at 23 for the first time. Pretty sure my jaw was open when the credits hit lol
One of my favorite scenes from Girls, perfectly illustrates true deep friendship, with shit happening you just have to dance to a banging tune, and your soul sister will come in and immediately be right there dancing with you.
i love how realistic this is, this is what girls do, you put a load of stuff about yourself on the internet and get depressed and then a nice song comes on and you dance to it and feel better. my friends who are boys can't understand that girls can feel two things at once.
this show was about a bunch of women who were ultimately toxic for eachother. this is not a story about beatifyl friendship. however, it does show that sometimes shitty friendships every now and then can have beautiful moments. and that’s why we cling on to them for so long.
This scene is perfection! ❤️ It reminds me of a turbulent, wild yet essentially care-free and fun time of my life, when my female friends were my everything!
That hug at the end just kills me :') I miss Marnie and Hannah's friendship so much! Hopefully next season we'll see some sort of reunion with these two
i love hannahs awkward dancing while marnie has this sexy dancing thing because she cant help it shes marnie haha. loved that scene and especially loved the look on hannahs face when she discovers that marnie is watching her. everyone else might have been ashamed like omg sorry you had to see this but not hannah horvath!
crazy fkr like 2-3 years, “girls” was one of the best shows on tv, this was def a major moment. sundays were fun with the girls and lena knew what she was doing.
Great scene, my favorite moment from Girls. And thank you for letting the song play out over the credits! A lot of times when there's an awesome musical ending to tv episodes, people often chop it off when the credits appear. Just as you're still grooving to the song. Anyway, thanks!
I just got done watching tonite's amazing episode 5x06, "The Panic in Central Park" that reunited Marnie & Charlie. And now I'm watching this clip from season 1; the only season where Marnie's character was written to show any sort of warmth and friendliness towards anyone. She has been so one-dimensional these past few seasons--mean, snarky and narcissistic. I hope tonite's episode will be a breakthrough and the return to THIS Marnie.
Awe that bittersweet heartbreak then the girl power to put one foot in front of the other as you dance though life it’s perfection and reality in one scene I remember it all these years later
Say what you want about Lena but she captured the warm chaos of being early to mid 20’s in this city and the way you lean on friends when you need it most. It’s a beautiful scene
THAT'S RIGHT. Haters can make a show that encapsulates the confusion and romanticism of your 20s. I'll wait
Definitely! This shows first few seasons nailed right out of college and not sure what I’m going to do with my life
The whole 20s for me boo
Amen
I agree, she also captured how life can be cruel and friends be difficult and distant when you need them. Something most of the tv shows omit.
The scene that made us all fall in love with 'Girls'.
Definitely.
+neutrinocoffee AGREE

the scene that made GIRLS iconic and not just another hipster series.
Oh STFU.

TWEET OF THE CENTURY
Season 1 of girls was so strong and the end of this episode introduced me this Robyn track and i fell in love with the series even more.
Same
Very different show now. Was so much better back then.
This song made this episode complete. Perfect score. Thanks for posting!
Me too!!! ❤
Probably the LAST scene Hannah and Marnie don't hate each other LOL
Savage 😂
YEASSSSS
Right?
This is one of the most beautiful scenes of TV history.
Drama much?

I hope you still don't think that - rewatch this show. It's really terrible.

this gets me so emotional. so simple but in some way so magical
all adventurous women do. go girls
this scene is an anti depressant.
couldnt say it any better!
thanks!
I feel that :)
:-D
I actually think it's heartbreaking, esp the hug at the end of the scene.
This scene is so amazing, i dont know why but it makes me want to cry and dance at the same time
Makes me miss living in my 20's in new york city with my friends just loving life and comming home to my friends just doing stupid shit!! Ahhh miss those days
@@bigceaz1z you can do this at any age remember that!
2:24. Chills every time. It completely expresses that moment when your favorite song and your best friend is all you have left.
Thank you I was clueless after this clip cause I couldn't place the context with the scene. I def got that 80s vibe of let's dance our cares away for now I'm so glad to have you riding for me.

This was my favourite scene of the entire show. Ever. Fits perfectly with the rapport but packs so much emotion
This makes me feel young. It did when I first saw it. I am almost 50. Love them, love the song. Perfect.

It’s that final shot
This scene makes me smile all the times.

I watch this scene whenever I feel like crying
this song & this scene couldn't be any more perfect. I adore their friendship and this scene made me fall in love with this show even more!!
This scene always gets me!

An entire half generation 1990-1995 is defined by this scene
Literally the moment you become obsessed with this show.
Quarantined and dancing to dancing on my own. Then I remembered this scene. I miss girls
This is when music and story line meld perfectly!
This shows soundtrack was fire! ❤
So many good songs!
i go back to this scene whenever i hear this song...so amazing.
Everyone that loves this scene should organise a huge meet up - imagine that, 903 new friends instantly
Gets me all the time. Almost 10 years later
Didn't really watch the series, but this ending was absolutely perfect and stunningly beautiful.
i love how realistic this is, this is what girls do, you put a load of stuff about yourself on the internet and get depressed and then a nice song comes on and you dance to it and feel better. my friends who are boys can't understand that girls can feel two things at once.
I'm pretty sure guys can feel two things at once hahaha

I know this scene is brilliant because for some reason it brings me to tears every time.
Iconic scene from an iconic TV show (which I miss so much).
I come back to this scene when I am down and miss my friends
Im so glad im not the only one who got chills from this, PERFECT.
This scene is perfection! ❤️ It reminds me of a turbulent, wild yet essentially care-free and fun time of my life, when my female friends were my everything!
That hug at the end just kills me :') I miss Marnie and Hannah's friendship so much! Hopefully next season we'll see some sort of reunion with these two
Me too 😭
really one of the best scenes of the entire series
One of my favorite TV scenes of all-time. Truly amazing.
God this reminds me of living with my girlfriends. If you’re still at that stage in your life soak it in!
i love hannahs awkward dancing while marnie has this sexy dancing thing because she cant help it shes marnie haha. loved that scene and especially loved the look on hannahs face when she discovers that marnie is watching her. everyone else might have been ashamed like omg sorry you had to see this but not hannah horvath!
I freakin love Robyn. Lol, this is the first scene of Girls I've ever watched.
crazy fkr like 2-3 years, “girls” was one of the best shows on tv, this was def a major moment. sundays were fun with the girls and lena knew what she was doing.
I still miss this girls.
Say what you will about the series as a whole, but this is the strongest two and a half mins HBO has put together, other than Hardhome.
Eric Wood agreed. Im assuming you mean the part when the Walkers are at the gate and it suddenly gets quiet. So fucking epic.
Crap I thought I was the only one who thought this was my favorite scene. I love it, makes me smile every time I watch it
Great scene, my favorite moment from Girls. And thank you for letting the song play out over the credits! A lot of times when there's an awesome musical ending to tv episodes, people often chop it off when the credits appear. Just as you're still grooving to the song. Anyway, thanks!
The zoom out with the two actresses framed by the door is genius.
This was the good old times, I come back to this whenever I need a smile 🤎🔥
2:08 I love how Hannah drops down so we can see her friend remove her jacket. Beautiful scene.
masterpiece
I still love this scene. So uplifting and carefree. Always gives me a good feeling :)
just had to come here and watch this after just having my own dance party with my cats along to this song.
Goodness! I miss those early days of Twitter. Lol.
This scene is so moving- it's one of my favorites of the entire season. Real, subtle, genius.
I'm a few years older than these "girls" but this show brings back so many 20-something memories ;-)
to me the best scene in the whole series
this makes me miss my best friend/roommate of 9 years :( miss her everyday even if we’ve gone a couple years without actually speaking
Weird how you can go from knowing someone so well to being strangers 😢
I need a Time Machine, go back to 2010, 2000, 1990...
I love this scene because even tho Hanna was having THE worst time she managed to find some happiness in the midst of everything. Missing girls!!
Must have watched this scene like 2000 times.
this scene does oddly give chills.
Yes, it does.
This scene solidified my love for this show. Pure genius.
Makes me cry every time
the connection between this episode and the one in the new season is INEVITABLE.
This scene made me fall in love with Robyn´s music... This show is amazing :-)
Robyn just has a way of making everything better :)
I just got done watching tonite's amazing episode 5x06, "The Panic in Central Park" that reunited Marnie & Charlie. And now I'm watching this clip from season 1; the only season where Marnie's character was written to show any sort of warmth and friendliness towards anyone. She has been so one-dimensional these past few seasons--mean, snarky and narcissistic. I hope tonite's episode will be a breakthrough and the return to THIS Marnie.
2012, last scene of episode 3 on Girls..made the show so satisfying and gave the show weight after that..
I would die for genuine girlfriends
Love, love, love this scene!
Loved that scene.
Beautiful, beautiful scene.
I always want the credits to never stop! lol
Probably my favorite scene from Girls…it Always touches the heart and brings a big smile…. Such a great show!
I just keep watching and watching this amazing scene, two girls in a bedroom dancing by their own ❤️
Lena this is the GIRLS we love. Nice and quiet. No need for the excess. You are so talented.
love love love
Its a wonderful scene that I always come back to. The Hannah & Adam breakup is another
It’s weird - and sad - to watch this scene now, given where Hannah and Marnie are in their relationship as of Season 3’s Beach House.
If you are lucky to have one good friend in your life, you are truly blessed..:)
Glad im not the only one that thinks this scene is a masterpiece. Especially that last shot.
Having arrived at the end of season 6 I still cherish this scene like no other
I miss this show
This scene is brilliant. If Girls were a film, this would have been one of the best ending scenes in recent days.
one of my all time fave scenes from 'Girls' (it helps that 'Dancing on my Own' by Robyn is one of my fave songs
still so in love with this scene
Every girl that has lived through post college totally gets this scene.
Awe that bittersweet heartbreak then the girl power to put one foot in front of the other as you dance though life it’s perfection and reality in one scene I remember it all these years later
Love this show. Don't care if it's not perfect, what's good is really fun.
This scene is my pushing pill against sadness 🖤✨at this point o loved this Serie
THE BEST THING I'VE WATCHED IN MY LIFE
I always laugh when Hanna says “He seemed gay” and then her and Marnie both have a duh moment haha
