Puberty Blues is having an absolute moment right now, ever since Netflix did the right thing and added it to its catalogue a few weeks back. But if you’ve already binged your way through the series (for the gazillionth time) you might be thinking, ‘what’s next?’ The answer is TikTok. Or, Puberty BluesTok as I saw someone call it. Dunno if that’ll stick, though.
Puberty Blues is going off on TikTok right now, with people sharing simply iconique videos of themselves sitting on a beach, waiting ever so patiently for Gary to stop surfing.
Others are just straight-up living their best Puberty Blues lives. I haven’t watched an episode in yonks, but I swear to god this was basically the entire first season.

You know what that is? Culture.
My personal favourite is this TikTok by @100percentthattim, who has summed up my mood after watching three episodes of Puberty Blues.
@100percentthattim Ya dropped mole #pubertyblues #yamole #straya #fyp
GARY.
Moll, chiko roles, and vaso aside for the moment, it’s the music that really does it for me. It just makes me want to fall back on my bed and stare at the ceiling for an hour and a half, thinking about him.
@lilywillyy @kade_mcbride I’m no moll x #pubertyblues #UnlockAMemory #fyp #aussie #surf #foryou
I didn’t see no chiko roll so I’m assuming someone got dropped.
@steezystay sorry garry #pubertyblues #fypシ

That same top is somewhere in my wardrobe and I haven’t worn it since my Tumblr theme was full boho chic (literal years ago, in other words).
I have to include this TikTok next because it has an actual CHIKO ROLL IN IT. I want a chiko roll now!!!

ICYMI: word has gotten about lately that maybe – maybe – a third season of Puberty Blues is on its way. This all started after Ed Oxenbould, AKA David, posted a TikTok claiming season 3 is a go.
Is he telling the truth? I don’t know! But I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed that Netflix is working on something local that isn’t just the new Byron Baes reality TV show.
With the amount of reboots happening these days, a third season of Puberty Blues isn’t totally unlikely. Nudge, nudge, hint-bloody-hint.
Puberty Blues seasons 1 and 2 are streaming now on Netflix.
