Glee - Cough Syrup (Full performance + scene) 3x14

All rights to Fox
Episode: On my way

[isabella-mcnd]

this is one of THE most powerful scenes of the entire show, the way the suicide is shown but not as graphic and messageless as in 13RW, with that powerful song and performance, this touched me on a different level

[emme.p]

I swear season 3 was *THE* best season ever

[julia-wpry]

This is seriously the saddest glee moments following Finn’s death. “The Quarterback”

[liberty]

i used to think that blaine was brendon urie at one point

[Tatiasmile]

Can we just talk about Dave's (Max Adler) acting 😣 such a great actor portraying those emotions is tought he did an amazing job I cry every time 😭

[Azire]

Can we talk about Darren / Blaine's performance here ? It's one my faves, one of his bests. And one of Glee's best covers in my opinion.

[neoscencez]

During the bullying I hated him and then suddenly I was like "Woah, bullies have pain to". No one deserves this.

glee was such an important show, people like to talk shit on it but you cant deny that within throughout its time it tackled and brought alot of real life problems to light. not just problems that you experience through highschool and as a teen, but alot of the extra plot lines such as the coach beast story. wills relationship. emmas OCD. kurts mums death. rachels mum giving her up and so many other things. although it was a show about a choir mainly it had so so many important parts and messages in much like this eppisode dose

thsi scene is how its done. it doesnt glamorize suicide at all unlike 13rw. personally this scene “saved” me. karavosky’s dads reaction made me realize i cant do that to my family. glee can be not so great at times but it truly is important.

[madcasual]

And THIS dear Netflix.... is how suicide should be shown.... I remember watching this episode and there being a warning at the beginning as well. This was BEFORE 13RW too!!

[alegleek]

this is my favorite performance of him

[v_ronica]

This is the best song glee has ever covered

[singingonew]

I am grateful that Max Adler portrayed this character and episode on the show. It must have been a tough role. Darren Criss sings this song beautifully --I feel like a lot of the best songs were given to Darren.

Darren's older brother Chuck passed away due to suicide. I instantly thought about this song when I heard about the heartbreaking news. Rest in peace, Chuck Criss. My deepest condolences to Darren and his family. Sending lots of love and prayers.

[catherinelopez]

"It wasn't our job to know."
"Then who's job was it?"
Those two lines where so powerful.

[samanthacait.]

Can we stop comparing kurt and David's pain? Like just because kurt dealt with something longer doesnt mean he is stronger. Depression and suicidal thoughts are serious and their different for everyone. Pain is pain and you cant measure it. Stop comparing people's reactions to their own emotions to an example of how strong they are please.

[greyskies]

I think that some people think this scene is a lot of Dave being over dramatic and talking about "what about Kurt, he experienced so much more and is fine." I think that that is why he chose to try and commit suicide. He was wracked by the guilt of what he had done to Kurt and all the other people he had bullied before. In that moment he wasn't just feeling pain over the situation, he was thinking about all the cruel shit he had done. I'm guessing his thoughts were along the line of "I have done such horrid things I deserve to die, " not him just being selfish. In that moment he thought that the better decision for the people around him was for him to kill himself so that's what he tried to do.

And did you know that Darren Criss is a really good friend of the band that did the original song? (Young the Giant)

[All-zecl]

The fact that he wanted to be in his best clothes when people found him was heartbreaking, i don't know why. It's like he wanted to look presentable even in death. Also, when it showed the planes i started to tear up. It not only symbolized hanging yourself, it also showed how he was just a kid that had toys like planes. It made the character so much more vulnerable.

The Dave Kurofsky arc was always the most intriguing story in glee. Because it happens to many people we know. The song did the story justice as well.
