The Roses have been through a lot. We’re going through a lot. No wonder, then, that the show’s highly shareable GIFs reflect our own crazy times.
Over the course of its six years on air, Schitt’s Creek became one of the most GIF-able shows in television. From Moira’s one-liners and David’s facial expressions to Stevie’s quips and Alexis’s boops, gestures and winks, the show offered hundreds of little gifts that keep on giving. Twitter is rife with GIFs of the cast members, as are countless group chats. While we may not be able to directly identify with the story of a family that loses its millions and ends up in a Podunk town, there’s a universality to the narrative that can apply to almost any scenario. In fact, it’s entirely possible to construct the whole arc of this unprecedented period of prolonged self-isolation in a series of Schitt’s Creek GIFs. Don’t believe us? Read on for proof…
